Here's a thought..don't fucking buy it? Believe or not the world doesn't revolve around you PC gamers.wwmcfar said:
I can't believe that some people are excited by this. Time was spent putting together these completely pointless features when they could've actually been making content.
If there's a chest in your house that always has a charged staff of chain lightning in it every time you come back to it, that might effect the balance of the rest of the game. Or an apothecary satchel with one of every potion ingredient. Or a bookshelf with every single skill-raising book on it.darkmind35 said:
I'm not saying that every mod-maker does a bad job of considering gameplay elements, or that Bethesda always does a great job of doing so. But on the whole, someone who is creating content for Bethesda is more likely to have a sense of every other gameplay element with which a particular change might come into conflict. That there are some good mods out there doesn't mean an official content extension should be automatically written off as worthless- it sounds like Bethesda has some promising ideas with this one.
If this manages to come out tonthe PS3 in this console generation I'll probably buy it. I love that Skyrim first has an epic Vampire DLC adventure extravaganza, and then they're all "Build a house! Decorate! Setle down!" I've always witheld that I pkay Skyrim for roughly the same reason I play Minecraft so this update is basically made with me in mind,
Oh god, this topic has brought me so much amusement. "Why don't you go and get married?!" and "this dlc is a waste of time D:<<<<<<<<<<"
Oh man, I love this topic so much. So many people crying about PROFESSIONAL $5 mods.
And towards the people upset about "Bethesda breaking their promise to make huge expansion packs", this isn't exactly an expansion pack. It's DLC in the most basic form. What DLC was made to be. Simple, cheap things that you don't HAVE to buy to enjoy the game more. So, with that in mind, who's to say that Bethesda can't make Expansion Packs and DLC? The small DLC packs can be made in the downtime between expansion packs.

Sorry, I just had to give you a hug after I read this. -hugs you- I can appreciate not getting a game for silly reasons, I've had a few myself.ProtoChimp said:
OT: I love this kind of thing. I agree that this is where fable fell down. I look forward to reloading my months-old TESV save.
ah but you forget. children are immortal in skyrim! at least from what i can tell anyways lol. but yeah. epic house building time! i wonder how we'll get trophies..duchaked said:fist off, wow that's pretty cheap
second...will we be able to mine for resources next?
also it'd be awesome to raise children up to young adults to go adventuring with your old self...tho considering the life expectancy rate for NPC followers in Skyrim that may just be kind of brutal
OK, has NOBODY noticed the real issue here?!

Darn....I was planning on building an exquisite estate. Oh well....I'll still be buying it anyways.
Not the point, the PC is obviously the preferred platform, I wasn't arguing that. Simply the developers aren't going to release their worthwhile expansions as soon.darkmind35 said:
Really? Can it be as dumb as being scared of one enemy that, according to my friends, don't even appear very often?Samantha Burt said:
Well, think about what Bethesda would have to do then. When have you ever seen a child in Skyrim that wasn't a human variant race? Mixed race children (specifically a beast race crossed with a humanoid race) would be impossible so that's not a big deal. However if your character is a race that is anything but a Nord/Imperial/Breton/Redguard and is married to a spouse of the same race then Bethesda would have to create entirely new models for children. That would also include voice actors depending on the race.SacremPyrobolum said:
On a side note I hope I'm not the only one wondering what an Argonian child would look like now.
I came here to say precisely this thing, yet I was too slow. This person expressed my feelings perfectly.BehattedWanderer said:
Skyrim is not a dating sim, it's not Medieval Monsterhouse and it's not not the point of this game!
I have absolutely no idea why would they do this DLC.
I have to admit I'm pretty damn interested in this. I have it for the PS3 though so who knows if this will actually be available this year :/ frankly I could give a rat's ass about the fact that it was already a mod. I own skyrim on a console and I don't use my computer for games generally. For one my computer is a weird thing that apparently hates gaming and joy in general because nothing ever downloads the way it's supposed to (looking at you itunes).
Either way I'd have to wait for more details but it looks interesting. What little we get from the kid's dialogue menu in the trailer makes it look like there's actually going to be a quest here or at least more than the "what can I do for you my love" blandness that your spouse gives you. Hopefully spouses will be fleshed out a little more too, maybe some new marriage candidates added? I can only hope.
Maybe my couple will finally get a kid who knows. Having the dragonborn for a dad/mom has to be some kind of bragging right though.
"My dad's a werewolf and my Mom killed a world eating demigod. So what do your parents do for a living?"
