chikawowwow Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Honestly, and I mean no great disrespect, but your logic defies all logic.So back in a medieval time in RL history, because there wasn't dragons- anything that happened or myths (which a lot of TES is based on) doesn't count? But marriage in Skyrim is a cheap immitation?Sure? things that are in Skyrim have parallels to history, but sadly that doesn't really relate to my point. Perhaps then you could state exactly what your point is because I'm baffled as to how we go from Christianity to knock off realism to realism not applying because america isn't having sword fights? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrius2 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Dragons don't make a game good. They don't even make it better.Sir are you serious?! Look at the MOFO DRAGONS IN THIS GAME! They're AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenOfThieves Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) I think the marriage part is a gimmick. Same as the same-sex relationships. It's a gimmick to try and sell more copies. That's it. As if somehow, someone in marketing thought that there were people who were wavering on buying the game because they couldn't get married or have same-sex relationships. Also; that way the LGBT crowd can say "Hey! Here's a friendly game we can play!" That equals more sales. Although, to be honest, I can't imagine that anyone who isn't into RPGs of this caliber are going to suddenly jump into it because they can be gay in-game as well. Maybe they will. I doubt it. That seems like a pretty damn shallow reason to buy a game. Trust me, it's going be poorly implemented and we're all going to be able to tell. I don't mind it in the game at all but it should be more than "Wear an amulet" like you're a monkey in estrus. Yes, I'll get married at some point. Just to try it out. But I'm not buying Skyrim because I can marry someone. That would be like buying Skyrim just because it has dragons in it. Dragons don't make a game good. They don't even make it better. It's just a thing, in the game, and I'm going to try to beat the game without killing any dragons... that I'm not obligated to kill to complete the main quest line. :pirate: Final Take: If it wasn't a marketing gimmick they wouldn't have mentioned it at all and instead would have just slipped it in quietly as a very cool feature that doesn't really effect gameplay. The trumpeting about it shows otherwise. I didn't think they did make a big deal out of it? o_O http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/112577-Skyrim-Legalizes-Gay-Marriage I think fans are making a bigger deal out of it than Bethesda is.

TheMysteriousTraveler Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) I probaly wont get married in skyrim, feels weird dating someone who is nothing but a bunch of tiny squares put together with audio clips. :POnly reason i would try it is for some random role-playing purpose, and if i have to wear that single person amulet thingy just because i find it awkward to virtual date someone, then screw you beth :mellow: Edited October 28, 2011 by TheMysteriousTraveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do that, but i would be too busy playing skyrim to want to mod :P. Besides, we dont know yet if the construction set is like morrowind and oblivions were editing an item is easy, it probably would be.

Yea .. and the sword things are a gimmick too .. so those butch straight guys can be all "hey look! .. a 20 something male friendly game!" .. just because you dont like it doesn't mean its a gimmick .. its a way to build a more realistic world .. a gimmick is a advertisment attempt to get more people playing .. I swear to god bethesda isn't so dumb as to think LGBT will buy skyrim because of gay marriage .. thats the dumbest thing Ive read all day :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
