Children are in the game (not getting children yourself), I don't care for the rest.

Children - yes

six - no

If they are not going to take the time to make things like spears then don't take the time to make things like six.

Children in the game, sure. But I don't really care, to be honest.

six and marriage in the game makes me feel... sad and depressing. No.
Time can be spent at so much more important and "better" things IMO.

I said yes to all. Just seems like RPG's have come too far for six, marriage and children to not be addressed. I mean, who wouldn't have wanted to bed the Hero of Kvatch? Well, aside from the Adoring Fan that is...

Children are in. six and marriage, no. They were meaningless in Fable 3.

As other people have said, play the Sims or Fable if you want family or romance. Alduin is flying around gearing up to destroy the world, the last thing on my mind is if my virtual wife has tucked the children up in bed. I'm in Skyrim to kick some [censored]!

I do not want a single thing in this game to be anything even resembling Fable 2 or 3. :sick:

Fable 2 and 3 had some great ideas in them. They just weren't done that well.

Please do not cite the Fable series as an example of how to do relationships and six in a game. Shallow, shallow, shallow!

six in the game: No

Children in the game: Yes, as long as they are not my own, otherwise no.

Marriage in the game: Yes, as long as I'm not the one getting married, otherwise no.

Other, other, other. NO to all Fable allusions, Fable is oversimplified and limiting. It's fun enough, but not overall what I would call a good game. Then again, I wouldn't say no outright to any of them. six isn't very classy, even when the screen is black. Give us enough information to assume it's happening, but don't give us video/audio.

Children, sure. They're going to be in the game, so why shouldn't you have your own? Make the woman at least be pregnant, though, or give us an option to skip gestation. Otherwise you have Insta-Babies (Just add water!), and that's immersion breaking. I imagine players with female characters would be choosing that option a lot, though...hmmmm.

And marriage? If it has more depth than Fable's, it'd be cool. (By more depth, I'm comparing Bethesda's deep end to Lionhead's Kiddy Pool.)

Not marriage, but just having a relation with NPC's couldn't hurt. Not necessarily a romantic one, maybe just friendship other than just having a raised disposition. Like if you consequently ask people to join your travels, or if you talk a lot with them, they might get more dependent on you, not as the Adoring Fan mind you, but if you're in the same area, he/she would be the first one to say hello and drink a beer with you if you know what I mean. If he/she is in trouble, like if they have gotten into a fight lately or something, they'd (or their family/friends) let you know the next time you saw them.

I think the question is, why do you have a need to make a post like this when it has been done many times already? Why would you even want to know if people want six in a computer game.
I find it pretty sad, that you ask the question but you can't even give us your answers. Tsk tsk.

I guess by Children, you mean having your own, right? Cause Children are already confirmed.
If so...
Marriage: no
six: no
Children: no

No to all. But get off my ass, I don't care if they're added- "No, I don't want them" is not the same as "I don't want them, so they should absolutely not be added." It just means there's yet another poll without "I don't care" options to properly signifiy that I don't specifically want those features myself, but don't care if they're added. :shrug:

This. Children are in, but six and marriage can stay out. This isn't fable :-p

There is such a thing as taking immersion too far. While when I'm playing I want to feel like a part of the world but this game isn't replacing my real life. I'm not playing Skyrim to have to tuck in my virtual children, and kiss my virtual wife good night. Frankly, I think it's pointless and stupid. And six? I'm not playing Skyrim to get my kicks.

But that's just my opinion...........
