Is there a reason for not including Redguard males?

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:15 pm

As marriage option I mean. Ran out of time Bethesda? I read somewhere there were 62 marriageable NPC's in the entire game. No Khajiit, no Bosmer and only one female Redguard. I also couldn't help but notice there were a few Redguard women married to Nord men in the game. Are you implying something there Bethesda? Redguard males aren't good enough to attract any other races other than their own? I kind of understand why no Khajiit were included, they're not even allowed in the cities and the fact antropomorphic cats aren't marriageable isn't that bad I guess(but why the hell are there so many Argonian options?). Hell, even Orcs got more options than a human race. What for? I won't delve into the whole ''racism'' nonsense but what the hell seriously? Will I have to mod the [censored] out of this game after all?

Oh and great game btw, really enjoying it. Haven't run across many bugs, 0 crashes after 70hrs of gameplay. No corrupted saves, just one quest bug in a radiant quest involving killing a bandit leader who isn't there. Aside from that, everything is perfect.

this svcks, if true... my guess is they did more work on the female side than male side (and not racist but perhaps egocentric) .... I don't really have an extensive in-game marriage knowledge but in Baldurs gate 2 it was 3 choices:1 and I can't see how a female would want to be with that guy (even though he made me LOL as a guy).

Are you really going to spin this arguement the wrong way with our real-world "race-card?" There are very few Redguards in Skyrim in the first place, most of which are enemies, as Redguards tend to lean toward mercenary lifestyle

My redguard male is good enough for any women! Back to the original topic, it doesnt bother me at all. Yes they could better with the options but I take the game for what it is.

Gotta love people looking for racism so they can feel superior.

As already said, there are very few redguards in Skyrim. They likely had no good candidate for marriage to choose from.

You know, now hat I think of it, the redguard option is a good one.
Redguards live in a desert climate or on the coast. Skyrim might be a bit cold for us redguards.

Heh, I remember that. And what choices - 3 wounded women and 1 arrogant (putting it lightly) guy. He made me lol to. I miss them, I wish Skyrim's partners had a bit more soul and personality.

But I think you may be on to something. But yeah, I agree it isn't racist either (especially since lore wise the Rearguards came out of the war with the Thalmor better than anyone else).

I guess people could argued lore wise that Skyrim doesn't have especially large populations from other races present (but it has been part of the Empire for a long time and theoretically should have a few more) - mainly Imperial and Nords. It isn't terribly satisfying for people that want to marry them, but unless there is a good reason why there should be more Redguards in Skyrim it isn't to wrong for Bethesda not to have them (there aren't huge numbers of Khajiit or Argonians either - the Skyrim climate doesn't seem a comfortable fit for any of them).

Not really. Overall there are more males to marry then females.

why is it surprising to people that a cheesy and shallow gameplay concept such as getting married would turn out to be lacking.

the only useful thing i can see it being used for would be role play. this is something i think they could have left out and used the time in a better way.

Keep in mind that there are like 4 redguards in all of Skyrim... They simply weren't a focus.

Yeah, people always bring forth racism so they can feel superior? I just find it strange that there are so few choices for a human race and was wondering if there was a particular reason for that.

Doubt any patch would fix this. Unless a particular NPC was meant to be Redguard and turned out to be another race, a patch won't fix anything. Maybe there were more options that simply bugged out in the end, so you may be onto something but I doubt it.


Are you [censored] serious right now?
No not really. Even if I was, it would still be a legitimate reason. No need to take that tone. I was looking forward to marry that gorgeous woman from the ''In my time of need quest'' but eh, what can you do? It's too bad some good looking women were left out. I'm seriously considering cheating on my wife. It's really too bad you're not able to do that.

I was happy they added it, and equally as happy that it is as shallow as it is now,rather then going the old Bioware way of 2 females/1 male and that male is a whiney git.

However, although I'm fine with the mayority being Nords since that's what the mayority of the population is after all, 1 option for each race/gender combination should have been included.
