So tell me again why I can't marry a Khajiit or Wood Elf?

I felt like this was vital information for anyone considering a relatioship to a male Khajiit, I am all about public service.

Queen Barenziah didn't complain.

The bestiality argument doesn't fly, since you can marry an Argonian(also wouldn't explain the lack of Wood Elves). You can also marry humans as a Khajiit or Argonian. I do believe that the devs just forgot Khajiit and Bosmer. Hopefully, when the expansion is released, this oversight will be fix.

... where does it say that? :ohmy:


Oh I think he's referring to Barenziah's.. relations with a khajiit by the name of Therris.
It's from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Real_Barenziah,_Part_IV. Although don't check it out if you're at work. Hehe. :whistling:

Bestiality and midget fetishes are in the minority of player interest.

It is a disappointment. There is a book in the game that actualy says what races produce offspring with each other. All elves and humans can. However, arghonians and khajit cannot produce offspring with any race other than their own. So, if you're playing as a khajit, and you want to get all of the steam achievements (one of which is marriage) you're required to enter into a trans-species relationship.

As for the temple of mara thing, I must have missed that lore. I played as a khajit and got the disciple of mara perk after completing quests for the temple.

The beastiality argument falls flat, not only because khajit pc's are forced into a mixed relationship and because there are arghonian options, but also because beastiality is the union of a sapient and a non-sapient, and like humans, khajit are sapient.

Really, I think what happened was they tagged marriage on at the last minute, not having actualy planned for it, then realized they'd need more dialogue. And... oops... the people doing the voices for khajits and wood elves weren't available.

There is only 1 Redguard option. So that's hardly a lot. But I do agree with the lack of Bosmer and Khajiit. With 62 options, it was no reason for any of the races to be left out.



Also only 1 High Elf option if I remember. In the end it doesn't really matter they all have the same Robotic nature once you marry them.

I'm actually more amazed that there are arghonians around Ice and snow aren't they cold blooded?

Bestiality is a human having six with another animal, which cannot give informed consent.

six between eg. a Khajiit and another human is not bestiality, because Khajiiti are fellow sentient animals that can (and do) give informed consent.

I think Bethesda only really wanted to add a basic framework for marriage and let modders improve it.

Same with cooking, yeah.

Because the beast races are always mostly ignored by the designers. they just put them in because they have to because their last game featured them. if they added races, they would have to have background for the race, which there is not any lore to add races. and if they take away races you get a bunch of pissed off fans who like playing as that certain race. So the devs are faced with a problem. The developers hate the Argonians, and the Khajiit. They would much rather those two races were not in the game at all. you can see it in the way clothing is made for them for example. and also the fact that they didn't give other features to the beast races that the gave all the others. Especially the stupid Nords.. why they decided to pass over the wood elves this time though does confuse me.

As far as I know you can only marry Dark Elves, there is one High Elf but apparently she's bugged so......

My female Nord is head over heels for Kharjo the caravan guard but he won't even look at her.

Not fair :( :(

I don't think it was Beth trying light ground with the whole marriage deal. All marriages i've in the game all your spouse does is, cook for you, sleep with you, and give you money...................sounds more like a pimp's relationship

Really the Sload are the only 'people' who have no baggage that comes with their bloodlines.
Released a plague on Tamriel, killing off 1/3 of the population is the only confirmed fact, other than looking like Jabba.

You still can mary a female argonian and a Female Orc.I forgot her names.

Skyrim did a really poor job on racial diversity.
Everyone is a Nord.
Makes no sense.



Because of The war,and Khajiits are not a people that leave in cityes,Most of them are merchants that live in caravans.I don't remeber any Khajiit on an TES:IV city,for exception of Mai'q.Also why would an Desert people like Redguards go to a snow country like skyrim?
