You freaking realize that marriage is a two way street, and if khajiits dont want to marry you, you cant get all offended.

In real life if an asian male doesnt want to marry you, you cant complain to him that he's being anti-gay and racist. jesus

:rofl:

lol

They never said anything about the races and marriage. They said that same-six marriage would be in the game, and rightfully they didn't make a big deal out of it.

Did you not read the link i provided in the OP? "you can marry anyone" certainly that would suggest atleast being able to marry your own race, would it not?






This is Skyrim, not RL.
The simple fact is. I cannot marry a khajiit (or a bosmer) not because they reject me, but simply because i'm not being allowed by the game itself.
Also, well done on saying Khajiits are racist towards their own, I applaud your intellect.

No. Because you're taking it completely out of context. When asked if "Same-six marriage" was in the game he replied "Yes, you can marry anyone". Answering the question of same-six marriage. Not whether or not you could marry any race. Context is everything.

I'm not saying I think it's a good thing that you can't marry all the races. All I'm saying is that Bethesda never broke their promise because that's not something they promised.

"We keep things pretty equal in Skyrim"

The fact still remains that the answer suggests anyone, and other sources reported answers to the matter of races.
And lo and behold. you can marry no matter race or sixual orientation. Unless you want a bosmer or khajiit, or indeed a high elf male. (to each their own I suppose.)
All I want is this inequality to be corrected. I can fully understand if it was done in order to ship on time. But I would then expect it to be swiftly fixed.

Thank you again Luke, that's where I heard about interracial marriage. (added to OP as an edit)

"Im not hating on Skyrim, i'm just hating on Skyrim."

There are only a limited amount of people who want to marry you, because those are the people who want to marry you. Just because I want to merry the perfect girl, doesn't mean she wants to marry me back. All the Bosmers are taken, sorry, its just the way it is.

Not an oversight by the game developers, just a fact of life.

The marrige thing is kind of boring in most games. The only game where it was somewhat meaningful was Fable.

Having marriage in a game like Skyrim is so stupid. It's like having birthday parties and child birth in a game. Why in the hell would I care about that crap unless I was playing the Sims?

It is an oversight of the developers if they didn't make sure so keep equality, what would it take? 5 more NPC's?
should have been done long ago. Atleast let some companions be marriable, heard there was some khajiit companions available.
I personally don't care much for the bosmer, but there's definately someone out there who want one as a spouse.

This is all something the developers should have kept in mind, instead of causing a rift in the customer-producer relationship over leaving people out.

Also, your paraphrasing me, and incorrectly so even. I'm not bashing on the game, I just think it could do this one thing so much better than they did.
It's not only the availability that is poorly handled. But the content of marriage as well. But that is the subject of another thread.

Given the context, prejudice is a damn strong word to be throwing around here.

After all they are NPCs and not people so it would be hard to make very interesting.

They could have made it more useful though, like giving you a buff sometimes if you catch my drift (heh heh), or maybe give you good relations with people she knows or her family, perhaps even owning a shop if you marry a shopkeeper.

far out kfc tower burger = mudbutt.

:rofl:

I've not found marriage to be at all disappointing in real life ... but my character would very much like the option of marrying a fellow altmer. And I don't think racism has anything to do with it. It's just easier to share your life with someone who has a similar lifespan and a common cultural heritage.

yea , its just a tiny bit better than nothing but they didnt really put any effort into . My wish for next TES series is better interaction with your companions and NPC's in general , more RP to the game.

Still a brilliant game though , cant blame them for not getting everything right.

A few posts have gone away for either being inflamatory or quoting and responding to something that was.

Thanks Summer, I appreciate the cleanup.

I find politically correct dribble more distasteful than straight up discrimination because it discriminates while claiming the moral high ground. In fairness, you voiced your concerns 'in character' I suppose, but it can easily be interpreted (like I did, and as demonstrated by several responses) that you were attempting to politicize a game feature by bringing real-world gravity to your argument. In that way, you coloured the conversation. Don't complain now that you don't appreciate the colour.

LV40 and still have not married yet, but my female Breton will eventually marry Lydia via the console.

Sounds like someone's real life svcks so much they need to RP

OMG summer liveiths! Summer what happened to the good ole oblivion days of 06-07 when the boards where controlled with an iron fist! We got too many youngins running around here causing trouble! Lol



Any to the OP. Bethesda probably just didn't have time end of story. It's not like they were running for president making promises only to get into office and not keep any of em. I don't know maybe I'm readin u wrong but it seems like your kinda like being a bit spoiled and thinking they lied to u personally on purpose or something. Things happen in game development cycles and stuff gets cut or not put in on time just to make deadlines. It's just the way it is.......

I didn't color the conversation. -.- I said simply don't give the excuse of "you can't marry because of the in-game racism." (which you can find if you actually pay attention.) What you are referring to is a derail with a few other people on this thread. It was off topic, and I have asked to stay on topic from then on.

Would you call being banned from marriage based on your race discrimination? I would.
I did not voice concerns in character, I voiced concerns as a customer.
No ingame or out of game explanations besides "they had to rush to deadline," that have been given (and regiven because no one reads) makes any sense.




I don't take it as a personal affront, I take it as a failure to live up to a clear declaration. That one would be able to marry nomatter race or gender.
I have updated the OP with a new link thanks to luke for looking it up.
And if you had read my previous comments you would see that I have already said I know it might have been the deadline thing, but that then I would expect to see the issue fixed with a patch.
