Are you going to get married in the game?

If so, are you going to have your girl character marry a guy or girl?

If you choose guy, will that feel weird at all, knowing that the character you are role playing as and emotionally invested in is marrying a dude in-game?

If you choose to marry a girl, (honest question - I'm not trolling here) is one of your reasons behind that hoping for some hot girl-on-girl action?

Discuss.

yes ill make a girl and yes she'll be a hot Orc lesbo.

Single. My character will not polish spears! :swear:

:foodndrink:

I like the way you think.

There's probably not going to be much turning the sheet in the game to the visible eye.

When I entered this thread I honestly expected the OP to simply be the word "Why?"

I will have a couple of girl characters, but they wont get married or have any relationship.

Ha! :laugh: This thread needs a poll. I'd bet most others would vote the same way. Personally, I can't bring myself to play a female character, even if she'd be easier on the eyes.

I know this may sound really judgmental and I'm trying not to offend anyone but that seems really really messed up.

As has to be pointed out every time that a subject like this comes up, many, and probably most, of the men who play female characters approach the game entirely differently than you assume.

I don't invest myself into the game at all. I'm not a video game character - I'm a guy sitting in a chair pushing keys. The characters I play in TES games are entirely separate from me - they're individuals in their own right. So when I play a female character, I'm just a guy sitting in a chair pushing keys and following along as SHE lives out HER life on Nirn. And if that life involves getting married, that's fine. It has nothing to do with me.

This will be the first time I start with a female PC, as to who she'll marry or if she even will? I don't know I haven't "met" any of the potential partners yet and I have no idea what it even looks like in this game. In the back story I've started writing for her she's hetero, but who knows.

lol, same here- hell, I'll ask it- Why do guys make female characters?

What does?

Right but since you're controlling her and especially since this is an rpg, isn't she kinda an extension of yourself.

Isn't it obvious? Badonkadonk

For the same reason that books and movies have female characters, even if the authors or directors are male - because the characters are separate individuals and not simply extensions of the author or the director.


No.

Yeah I get what you're saying, but not all guys do it for the same reason you do.... :confused:

Haven't really thought about getting married, it doesn't seem like something I'd be too interested in in a video game. I will be playing a female character though, mostly because I just think they are cooler, and, well not so much a sixual thing (though I'm sure that takes some part) but I just find men's appearance a little unrefined, women are like works of art (in general) IMHO. And of course sometimes you just have a female character design in mind. Though I do often make male characters as well.

Will be playing a female but could go either way on the marriage front.

And if I choose a girl it's not about the sixiness, I genuinely enjoy lisbian romance stories. I'm serious.

...

Yes, I know it sounds unbelievable!!!

A few months back there was a poll that asked both whether you preferred playing in first or third person and whether you planned to play a male or female character. After a rather large sample of respondents, there was a striking correlation between the number of male characters with first person players and female characters with the number of third person players.

My female characters are servants to their Maker; me. They don't have relations with men because they know I don't like anything but girls with girls. If they stay true to my commands, they pass on from the game and live eternally in my soul. That's what ive been doing with all (ME, DA, TES) my girl chars and I actually really enjoy it.

I have played both female and male characters and plan to do the same for Skyrim. It's fun to unlock all the unique dialogue options with certain NPCs, for example by getting the "Cherchez La Femme," "Black Widow," "Lady Killer" and "Confirmed Bachelor" perks in Fallout New Vegas.

I think my first character will be a male, either Dunmer, Argonian, Orc, Khajit or Bosmer. Whenever I end up playing a female character, I don't know whether I'd be more inclined to pursue a romance option with a female NPC, probably so, but I think a lot of this depends on how our player character develops over time as the story of Skyrim plays out and what sort of NPCs we encounter.

Over time (will probably take a few years), I'm planning to play 10 different characters in order to try out each of the 10 races, so at some point, you want to try to unlock more interesting dialogue options by playing very different types of characters.

I can see where you're going. But their characters are still based around something in their life. Whether it's a female they know, someone historical, or some other inspiration from their real life. Men don't know the inner workings of a woman. Naturally they can't know. So they use inspirations from women in their lives, or women they've read about and so on. Male writers who don't give their woman protagonists the soul of some real-life inspiration will lack the makings of a book that people can immerse theirselves in or find half-way believeable. So, if that IS your reason for playing a female character- who's your inspiration?

I'm a girl who plays guys a lot, & yeah mine would marry a female in skyrim. I think of my characters the same way an author would, not as "me".
