dont be trollin on other peoples opinions

Poorly worded poll.

I think the should be *moderate* amounts of six in the game, sort of like how (the original and NV) Fallouts do it. I think you can screw like 20 people in fallout 2. Hopefully it gives you some sort of benefit like a temporary health bonus

Children? Yes, but not your own. There should be children in the game but I don't want to micromanage a bunch of little [censored]s running around my loot-house.

Wives? No thank you.

I bought Fable 3 on release. And I still haven't played it yet for some reason...

Why does everything have to be like Fable 3?

I just answered no to all the questions, mainly because I'm not too concerned about romantic relationships in TES. That is, I would rather not have any.

I am married in real life, so I'm familiar with that and the six part. I don't have any kids, so I can't speak to that from experience. But aside from my general lack of interest in TES romantic relationships, I don't know if I would be able to roleplay my character successfully if he had a wife and kids. Now, I'm definitely not a hardcoe roleplayer (you know, one of those people who wants your character to explode if they don't visit the outhouse regularly--OK, I kid), but I do like to get into character when I am playing. If I've got a wife and kids waiting for me at home--depending on me to support them and take care of them--am I going to take those risks with my life that I would normally otherwise take? Am I going to venture down into the dark, noisome cave to confront monsters? Probably not.

I remember meeting NPCs in Oblivion who were not as keen on adventuring as I was because of their commitments to their families. In other words, they were normal people with normal fears. My character, the protagonist, was different because he didn't have those ties that might hold him back. This is, in fact, one reason why I think you always start out as a prisoner--you've got nothing to lose. But the game changes completely when you throw a family into the equation. When faced with that chasm I need to leap over to get to the treasure on the other side, I'm probably going to say to myself, "You know what? It's not worth it. I think I'm going to find a safer way to put sweetrolls on the table."

Is that going a little too far? Maybe, I don't know. I guess I just get into my character. So, for me, no: I don't want marriage or children, and six would be little more than a distraction (not to mention most likely awkward, like Chineapplepunk said).

I know without looking at the replys most people will say no, but why not, sure.

I listed all three as no. I have no idea what's going on in the land of RPG making at the moment, but it seems you cant make a game these days without there being some sort of shagging/baby/marriage fest in there. I personally don't care for it. It doesn't subtract from my gaming experience fable was a fun game but I think for a serious RPG it should be left out. What's sad is that some people think it's not a proper RPG without these things.

Other, No, and No were my selections. I doubt that we will have any type of six in the game but it's certainly possible. I hate the fact that children will be in the game but I can deal with it.

six, no
Marriage and Children, I don't really care. I wouldn't want them, but I guess it would be cool if they were there, and done in depth of course.

I voted no for everything except children, because I already know that they are in-game, yet I've never played Fable 3 so I don't know if it would be a complhymannt to say that children in Skyrim are like children in Fable.

No to anything in this regard resembling Fable. It was so meaningless, being able to essentially marry any random person and have kids with them. I'd prefer to leave this sort of thing to mods, but if it must be in the game, at least make it require more than just showering the person with gifts and flashing emotes at them. Make the PC devote time and energy into wooing someone. My preference would be to have NPCs available for more meaningful friendships in the game instead though.

six- Maybe, if done well. NOT like Fable 3 with all those stupid sayings they have. Lame... Fable 2 did it better.

Marriage- I don't know about you guys, but Da'Rhashii don't stop for no one.

Children- Depends, if they do a good job with having a kitten of your own I'd be fine with it.

Sure, why not? My only problem is that marriage might not feel genuine and would feel forced. But hey, if some people want it, then why not?

Id like to see these features but not in the way fable did them, I found fables system extremly unintresting. But if they did it in an engaging way, sure why not?

six - sure, as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Warriors hooking up at the local taverns is a time honored tradition. However, this should probably be a "fade to black, cue music" type of thing. I'm all for romances, so as part of a romance quest, sure. However...

Marriage - Do you really want to take time out of saving the world to plan for a wedding? I can see it now - some dragon is trying to destroy the world, and your sitting with your lovey-dovey picking napkins and invitations. Right. NO!

Children - sure, but not your own.

Not to mention you cannot have six without your spear. :hubbahubba:

I don't care if children are in or out, But I don't really want six in there. It's just not necessary, this isnt GTA or Fable, it's TES. And marriage is also just un-needed. Your a dragon slayer for The Nine's sake! It's not exactly in your interest to get married, I wouldn't think.

Children- YA!!!!

six- eww

Marriage- eh why not. i mean as long as you don't have to do too much... the real world with wives is good enough..... nevermind... no marriage. then that would mean six...

I definitely absolutely positively don't give a turd.
I won't yell if it's in the game, but seriously, pretending to have a virtual sixual intercourse with a bunch of scripted polygons via two dialogue lines and a black screen isn't what I'd actually call an interesting, or at least fun, gameplay.
And raising a child? For god sake aren't they already annoying enough IRL?

Why do we need six in a video game anyways? I would like to know why people who want six in video games why. Is this a form of porm for you then? I just don't understand or get it. I know alot of people like titilation in thier games, and it's everywhere, on TV, magazines in ads, but now to have actual six in games? If you are really that hung up, just use you hand or get some batteries. Oh wait, is that what the controller is suppose to be used for now?

OH GROSS! :toughninja:

Please just use your own imagination, TES doesn't need to have six in thier video games. People want realism, this is getting a bit too much now. What's next we need to go to the bathroom every day and brush our teeth and shower in video games as well now? Come on people, enought of the "realism" aspect to gaming now.

I don't see what harm could come of it and I think it would be much more realistic with all three of these things so yes.

I dont use spears so I disagree and I think on the GI podcast Todd already said there are no spears or crossbows

THIS AINT A snip FABLE

All polls should have yes, no, other, and I don't care options.

I would vote I don't care for marriage and children, and no for six.

No thanks. I didn't like the six/marraige in any of the three Fables and I'm pretty sure that I would feel the same about them if they were in Skyrim... Children on the other hand are fine.

No need for six in the game.... Players will just go on the web to improve their One-Handed skill.

You describe it like a tragedy or something. I see it like an option like all the other options in the game. You want to be a miner? Buy that pick and join the others in the mine, pick some ore. Of course you could do that in real life too and of course Tes could have skipped it. Yet it will be there, I wonder why. You want to buy and decorate a house? Save some cash, buy the house and decorate it. Of course you could have done that in real life too and of course Tes could have left it out. Yet it is there, I wonder why. Kids. Kids are in the game, that's a fact. If they were to ask the fans "do you want kids in the game" I bet the poll would have been like this one, with a "no" majority. They could have left them out, Tes was just fine so far without them.Yet they are being added, I wonder why. I don't need wife, kids and six to be able to role play a quality Tes game, but I don't see how my opinion would be more valuable than the devs' who already felt like adding kids. I don't teach anybody and especially the devs what Tes "is about", Tes is about what the devs put in it. If six and wife are in (Tes 5, Tes 7 or whenever) I can see it as optional as buying a house. Optional like fast travel. I doubt they will force you to dance your way up the story.

As concerning the "every day brush your teeth", you'd be surprised how many players thought the hardcoe mode in FNV was the best part of the game.
