Please add a romantic relationship in Skyrim! If you want to make a living and natural world that without it no how! Look how many games already have a romantic relationship! Just to be able to go with the player character and a couple of phrases about love! Please! Please! Please!

I really don't like the idea of romances for the PC - but I do hope the relationships between different NPCs are more realistic.

She will be in the kitchen while I play Skyrim on my new PC. Anything less simply won't do for a romantic relationship in Skyrim.

On a more serious note, I don't like how most games handle romance and six (except, perhaps, The Witcher). So rather than seeing yet another childish implementation I'd rather stick with what we've got in previous TES games.

If you want romance, play Fable or get a girlfriend/wife.

TES doesn't need no stinking romance.

I am alpha and omega...


Stuff like that was sentimental if you wanted to, and a romantic-theme aspect would have to be extremely optional for it to work well, I think.

I think that idea should stay outside of TES. Basically I agree that it CAN add atmosphere but the TES games are primarely made for explorers, not for would-be lovers. Besides that, if this is done wrong the whole topic becomes corny.

Remember Dragon Age. When it came to a relation between you and whoever you had the chance of having six with this NPC.When I saw this I had to lough so loud. That was totally nonsense and childish and absolutely did not fit into the rest of this mature gaming world.

No thank you.

I'd like one like Ahnassi in morrowind maybe a bit updated perhaps different ones depending on race or gender or put one of everything but have em only made so that you can pick only one either through a quest or Idk just something to bring back more from morrowind I'm sorry but of the 2 elder scrolls games I played its still the best overall despite its faults.

Sorry, this isn't bioware forums.

Really though, no thank you.

I'm up for a bit of romance in Skyrim, as long as it's with that barmaid from the screenshots :teehee:

Pixalated romances are lame , the only use for a companion is to become target for skill practising

So many people seem to hate the idea of romance in TES. Why? If you don't like romances in games so be it, I personally hate first person shooters...but they are very popular with some people. If you don't what romance, just don't do the missions or quests that pretain to romance, but to say it "shouldn't" be in a game that's supposed to let players "live another life in another world" how can you NOT have romance? I hope they do have it in the game, optional, but still there for those of us that like the experience.

Out of curiosity, assuming there was romance involved, what's the point in enforcing monogamy? We really need to start thinking outside the box. The fact that romance/six was done this way in a few popular games (mainly, Bioware titles) does not mean it was done well, in fact it was terribly restricting in RP terms, not to mention how corny most of the dialog options were.

The Witcher, wich I mentioned earlier, handled six/romance better because it was done in a way that fitted the world and main character quite well, and the writing was not of Twilight "quality". But I wasn't even fully satisfied with that, it was just a step in the right direction.

So, no romance in TES because it will probably end up compromising the overall atmosphere and character of the series. I understand that Oblivion opened up TES series to a much wider market, but please, quit trying to change this game into something it is not. If you want romance/dragon mounts/linked auction houses/god of war combat/manga style haircuts there are plenty of other games out there that will satisfy your tastes.

Personally I'd have the same opinion as you (ie it doesn't affect me, I don't care) if it wasn't for a certain company's RPG's where romance became as important as the story. I don't blame them for that since I believe that from the moment they decided to focus on it, it was the only way for romances to expand. But it doesn't matter if its optional or not when half the game is about it. If they want to have some dialog option in TES saying I love you or whatever and then suddenly you're a couple.. sure it doesn't affect me neither detracts from anything. Ofcourse those who want romance wouldn't be happy with such a thing. They'd want more. As it stands, I'd prefer not to have romances. I won't care much if they are in, but I'd prefer not.

I would not be disappointed if this was not featured in the game. If it is however, my characters can have their relationships.

I gotta agree with this one. Romances would be fine if they weren't a main or central focus for the experience, but the fact of the matter is, that in order to provide multiple romances that are good you have to expend a lot of effort. The writing alone would eat up quite a lot of time, especially since for a decent romance the character needs to remain interesting despite being interacted with very frequently. Ultimately, offering multiple decent romances will require making them an important part of the game.

Romance in V... hmm, well if the do it better not be a cheesy knock off of some midday soap or something but Im also not saying to make it like leisure suit Larry. Make interactions realistic and censor some things. Take the Sims 3 for example and the way they handle romance and take some concepts from that.

What is this human emotion you call "wub"?

Please do not put any chance whatsoever of player romance in any Elder Scrolls game ever, leave it to Bioware and their not quite open world make correct dialogue choice three or four times after big plot moment you've been funnelled into to sleep with blue transgender alien way of dealing with 'relationships', or Lionhead, where condems are still considered humorous.

Come on who didn't like Ahnassi she led you to treasure she was easily missed feature and well free house....

I would like it... But it should be optional and do not impact the main quest.

In Fallout NV you can have six with a girl, and if do it, you get the "Well Rested" Effect when you wake up

Well, but i would apreciate it... We could have a life besides the quests... like, blacksmith to earn profits and sustain your wife and your house. I know that it sounds too much useless stuff, but being totaly optional i think there is no problem.

But i doubt that will have romance in skyrim... maybe with some mod, but not in vanilla

Please.Don't.

^ this.

having a GF in a videogame is the height of nerd-dom.

please dont include romance.

This is one of those things that mods will do better than Bethesda.

Yes, thank you.
