I only want a romantic relationship if it's completely humurous in nature OR a stirring experience, deeply intertwinded with a good plot.

:rofl: :rofl:

I want one night stands. You drink too much ale and you are prompted to stagger Home or to the Inn's Bedroom. When you wake up in the morning you realise theres a person in the same bed. If your successful at sneaking, you can creep away. Would be hilarious as a guy going back to the town weeks later to find out a women has gotten pregnant by you. How would you react?

For Bioware games they work great and add to the story, in Elder Scrolls you don't really have relationships at all. You're a loner who puts it upon himself/herself to save the world or something, usually a manipulative bastard only out for himself/herself no matter how you play it. I can understand the way it would work in the newer Fallout games but unless we have companions like in FNV I'd say chances are slim. If they find a way to make it work then that's great, another piece of immersion(very lacking in every Elder Scrolls game) that helps the experience. Just don't count on it, if you want close relationships and more real characters play a Bioware game(I highly recommend).

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^

Good to see such class on these forums, even the highly researched logic of "any relationships beyond six and sandwiches is gay" is present. Incredible. :whistling:

Thats what made it good, the style fit the world and the character well not some tacked on feature like fable

I noticed you only have a total of 154 posts, 141 of which are in Fallout:NV. Don't you feel kind of out of place here?

it would be an interesting mechanic (for immersion), but we don't want Elder Scrolls becoming Fable now, do we?

Fable′s romancing is silly

I want flirting. It doesnt mean you will end with a bunch of kids, you can flirt with a woman (or man) in order to enter her room and steal something you need for another quest. Yes, you can steal her bedroom key or lockpick the door, but maybe you′re not a sneaky character. And yes, you can kill her an take the key from her body, but maybe you are not that evil or not want to be noticed.

Also, having Radiant Story, if you are interested in someone and this person likes you (via saving the town, persuasion minigame, etc.) it could give you a quest (or more) so the romance can progress. Maybe its not an epic quest, maybe she just wants flowers or jewelry, depending on her interests.

But what if the father comes in and beheads her...or you...END OF GAME.

I'd like to see it, but I doubt it would work out in TES.
I'll play BioWare games for romance. :shrug:

yeah well you do want elder scrolls becoming fable but look they just gave us a 200 year time leap.
Fable had 500+ years and a major change to everything now skyrim is 200 years from oblivion and morrowind got destroyed and the dunmer have scattered/been driven from they're homeland.

Talk about change *curses* if yagram bagarn doesnt make a comeback lore or game wise I will be very upset that or the Dunmer should get new nation maybe next game jyggalag will have made the other deadra his slaves and brought in guns and technology ooh ooh and the Dunmer died out and the sload turn into mermaids and akavir is really bermuda and aleins zombie ninja jesus blarggggggggggggggggggggggg................

sorry we were saying something about something involving romance and not wanting something to change?....is that correct?

sorry I always liked elder scrolls because not only does it have rich lore but it also for all the change it has usually stays the same and I like that with little bits here and there.

Personally I dont see what the matter is with bringing in a romance option like Ahnassi I mean its not like you couldn't just kill her if you didn't like romance in games.(criminal scum)

so why should the modders, dual weilders, class haters, and overall change maker/wanters get their cake and we rpg romance, lore loving, world appreciating players get some moldy old potato chip scraps.
Maybe we want things in the game to maybe if YOU DONT LIKE IT you can just not do quest/romance or you could just kill the romancee its not like most people here dont care about npc's feelings since you obviously dont care about us real peoples thoughts or opinions.


Ok sorry but I like stuff like romances and I'm not partial to Insanely dramatic changes(some people are. I guess after losing the continent/nation I spent so much time saving with the Kajiit lover my Nerevar spent so mch time with getting away from the troubles of adventuring that I'm more than a little upset forgive me "or not")

Roleplay style Haters. lol :confused:

I thought http://lovkullen.net/Emma/laura.htm , Emma's mod in Morrowind was well done. Ever been shopping with a woman? She has that down. If it's done right, it can be a good thing. It was better than the Bioware relationships. That's why in an earlier post, I said that this kind of thing is best left to the modders. They can take their time with it, and it becomes like a work of art for them. They are putting all their talent into one companion. I think she has a companion in Oblivion too, one named Vilja. A Nord... with a Swedish accent.

Played all of the Elder Scrolls games so I don't see why I would.

The problem with leaving it to modders is that, firstly, most of them simply don't have access to good voice actors with decent equipment. I agree that voice acting isn't the be-all and end-all of romance/companion mods, but in a fully voiced game like Oblivion or Skyrim it is a problem for immersion to have text only dialogue. Secondly, there are going to be serious problems with making the rest of the NPCs in the game aware of any companions the player has. If the romance mod is fairly self contained that isn't an issue, but if you're trying to have a romance that runs alongside other quests in the game (more of the epic adventure style of romance than the hearth and home style) then it does help immersion if now and again other NPCs in the game acknowledge the presence of the companion character.

Finally, a large number of Elder Scrolls fans can't use mods, as they're playing on console. Of course, one might assume that people who play on console have no interest in roleplaying, but I think that's an unfair assumption.

A number of the companion mods in Oblivion are fully voiced. Vilja is. And not everyone has that voice over hang-up. I don't. Emma is very good at having interaction with NPCs in her mods, many of them have comments about your companion when you talk to them. Kateri's Julan Ashander is good about that too. Julan's quests (Julan is male, and only has romance options if you're female), all interact with Morrowinds main quest, and his dialog is excellent. Get him drunk, you won't regret it. He's hilarious. There's another one, Jac's Jasmine, that also has quests that interact with the main quest. Oh, and Emma and Grumpy's Constance (not a romance mod, just a companion, and my personal favorite). Each town you go into, people have different opinions about her. She likes to get you in trouble. Many of these mods interact with each other, and will make comments, and greet each other. Emma's are good about that.

I'm fully aware that some of the members of this forum don't have a computer. Right now, I play Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout NV on the 360. I can only play the older games on my computer. I don't know what to make of your last sentence. I never made any assumption like that.

Peace.

Sorry, that wasn't supposed to be an implied accusation about you. It was just an acknowledgement (in the context of this thread) that a number of people on these forums seem to think 'PC smart, console dumb'. I should have worded what I was trying to say better.

I am all for deeper NPC relations but no having kids or getting it on people are over reacting Like fast travel IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT DON"T USE IT!

That barmaid is going to be the most ogled NPC in the game. :rolleyes:

True, but it only worked because that's how the world of The Witcher worked. TES isn't the Witcher (even though both are very great)

With the AI romance could have potential. Wives and husbands could seem more real; going to their work, shopping, keeping your house, etc. Though is it needed, no.

Romances? Yes please... "Live another life in another world" they said... Well let me then.

I'm not sure you could put a good relationship storyline into a game like the Elder Scrolls games are... I never did Ahnassi's questline (don't play male chacters that often) so I can't say whether that one was good or bad. So, speaking purely from my opinion, I'd love for Bethesda to put a romance (or a few, if they're feeling brave) in if they can make it a good one, but I'm not going to hold my breath on the "good" part.

But I would like to see good ones.

Wow, this is the only place in the world where the sentence "romantic relationships are childish" has appeared. I think the universe stops right at this thread.

Get a girlfriend nerds! (Im just jokin, Im a girlfriend-less nerd myself)
