What would make you think that not like the Dragon would go to your house and kill your wife/husband while you were not there..... I see your point.Sleekit said:
This. It's not a bad idea at all, everyone's just got a bad taste in their mouth from how incredibly mechanical and shallow the system was in Fable. There are also the people who don't think a minor focus on personal relationships has any place in games, but that's always seems like a very narrow-minded and short-sighted view to me.Hawgh said:
And given that it's a Bethesda RPG, I'm pretty happy knowing that they'll probably be pretty balanced with regard to gender and sexuality (-cough-Crassius-cough-).
Is there a possibility of one night stands? What would the etiquette be there?
This seems to have gotten a lot of people going over the issue of romance and relationships in games, I really hope Bethesda Deliver on this.

I don't think that marriage would be on the top of his agenda, no. That said, I have to ask; when has marriage as an added feature in a game EVER been a good idea. Especially in action or adventure games. There's just not any love because there is nothing that anywhere near simulates the real feelings involved in something like this. <_<Sleekit said:
That said; as long as I don't have people walking around with floating rings above their heads asking for "a ring to make 'it' more official" I'm happy. I'm looking at you Fable trilogy. ¬_¬
Life simulation in games, at least in it's most basic form will lead on to a better level of immersion. If Bethesda work out the kinks and it isn't compulsory, i think they could take a step towards this level.
I will probably do it, regardless of ability to disregard it or if there is no reward for it, simply to see how it will affect my story.

Hey, as long as it's handled better than in Fable, as in marrying characters who have actual character, then I'm fine with it. Some of the companions in Fallout: New Vegas were really interesting and likeable despite having relatively little dialogue. It wouldn't take much to assign a little more dialogue to companion characters.
I'm not saying it's going to be the best thing ever or even have that much of an effect on the game or even that the romance mechanics will be any good, but, hey, what's an RPG without at least having the options to do more stuff. I think it would be hilarious if you could solve a quest by seducing a character, marrying them and suddenly owning all their stuff. That would be a badass character to play, and give real merit to the personality and speechcraft stats. Why shouldn't you be able to acquire wealth by marrying rich people?

As long as my Argonian character doesn't spawn Zerglings with his waifu like my HERO OF ALBION did in Fable 2, and they don't introduce a joke STD system (Unprotected sex in Fable 2 was a coin-toss, if you lost more STDs) like Fable 2...
Basically they just make me give a damn about the characters, like the way I cared for the girl whose dead husband wanted you to make her happy in Fable 2: she seemed real enough to surprise me until the quest was over and I saw fifty more of her.
Er...
If Bethesda makes it so I can romance my companions or key characters that they pick out, fine. If it's Peter Molyneux's way of marriage, then no. The game will suffer if they take lessons from Peter Molyneux.

I like the idea becuase you felt so unattached to the society in say, Oblivion. This might help Skyrim feel a little more immersive. I have heard the complaint a lot that in the previous TES games you feel like your character just dropped out of the sky. No one knows you and no one cares to know you! 
I think this will be a good addition as long as every NPC doesn't expect you to marry them after a couple of quests like in Fable.

Screw that, a dragon slaying world saving nord is probably going to be more of a ladies man than a married man.
It could make things interesting, that's for sure.
I look forward to seeing how it turns out...
