Ha. I thought you just meant an unwarranted ammount of hype and a dissapointing final product. Still, with Bethdesa's (I know I'm spelling that wrong, but what the hell,) trademark NPC-Eyes-Always-Staring-Eerily-at-you-with-unerring-accurac, this may be less of an interesting addition and more of incredibly creepy time (Picturing a wedding scene, your spouse's eyes locked on to yours, unblinkingly, as they say 'I do,' the preacher then turning an equally unerving gaze on you, proclaiming 'I now pronounce you...' *shudder*).
Skyrim to have fable 3 like features

I don't know with the dynamic world and enemies and such it could work out. I'm quiet sure there is a chance a dragon lands in a villages and kills everyone. Wouldn't that provide good plot material, especially if you have you're spouse and children in said village.
As long as there are epic relationship quests, princes and princesses to marry after saving them from dragons,inter-species marriage options and the ability to put a hit out on an unfaithful spouse with the Morag Tong or the Dark Brotherhood, it's fine and dandy with me.
If one divorces one's Skyrim significant other, do they get half of one's loot and armor or does one just cleave them in half?

In your face hardore RPG fans! Viva the casual RPG revolution! *Runs off shouting at random passers by*
.....great!
As long as it is not a gimmick in Skyrim but a tool to help with immersion then I support this move. It will hopefully stop the player feeling so alone in such a large game which is a problem nowadays seeing that many people play games online.

Typically I don't follow the npc romance option in rpgs, even in ones that are 'well done' such as in Bioware games. The only way I could see this being not so good is if all the npcs start hitting on you after you complete just 1 or 2 quests. That being said, I really don't have a problem with this at all. Hey, if it's done well I might just try it out and if it is abysmally horrible, I can easily ignore it (or download a mod to remove it from the game).
whoa, whoa, whoa, chill the fuck out. The reason Fable as a series sucks is because it tries to religh on the relationship aspect to pad out what is otherwise a short bland game. On the other hand the Elder Scroll games are what Fable wants despratley to be. They truely are games that let you be who ever the hell you want to be. Adding a relationship aspect to the mix just makes sense. But like every other option in the game, you don't have to do it. There are tons of ways to get to the end of the game. If you don't want to have a wife or husband when you get there then you don't have to.
I just can't wait till Skyrim takes a "Fable feature" and actually makes it good. Because you know they damn well will.

Absolutely agreed! Everyone's a comedian all of a sudden...MiracleOfSound said:
A completely optional feature won't destroy the god damn game. I like the idea, it will make my Dragonborn feel less out of place and more like a part of his/her country!
How is this a problem? I mean I don't think that the game will force you to do it, just play the game and ignore it.
I don't see any reason to be upset about. If you want you can completely ignore the marriage/friendship thing.
This actually sounds usefull, in the context that making friends means people will take up arms in your name.
When I saw this title my heart sank a little bit, because I hate Fable, with a passion. But by the looks of things, these features can be easily ignored, and for some people can only add to the playing experience, so I'm not too bothered really.
So long as they don't change a lot more to "make it more Fable like" I still think it will be a fantastic game.

I echo poster numero dos on this one. ..Dos? Dous? Dose? Fucking languages not being the same as English, Klingon or Elvish!MorsePacific said:
Those features are arguably the only thing that keeps Fable from being as bland as many believe it is (and, for the most part, for good reason). It's not Dragon Age, people, where every character in their mother is out to fuck you disabled, and unless you've forgotten the difference in maturity between Fable's world and the Elder Scrolls' world is a VAST one. I'm positive that Bethesda, especially the E.S. team, will show us how to implement these features with grace and tact. Fable is cartoony, that's why these features come off as "ugh" to so many. Why the hell would a woman want to bear my children if I make fart noises with my armpits or do that corny as hell "finger-gun and wink" move at her eight times in a row?
Don't worry, folks. Bethesda's people know the difference between a modest proposal and a fart joke.
I think people that are against it are worried that they'll have people come up to their character and force them into a relationship kind of like how sometimes in Oblivion/Fallout3 a character will run up to you and kind of force a new mission on you that you don't want to do.
And I think some people are worried that they'll put gay characters in the game and they'll have a Bioware situation on their hand where they're constantly getting verbally assaulted by horribly written stereotypes and dragged into a gay relationship kicking and screaming, ruining their perfectly heterosexual little fantasy world.
But the more I think about that the more I doubt Bethesda will put in gay characters. I mean, they had just 2 guys in F3 who MAY HAVE BEEN gay and I don't think there have been any real gay characters in Oblivion (Except Curio in Morrowind). And like I said earlier, I'm afraid that if they do do it they'll only make 2 pretty-boy human characters out of the entire game world and make one a rich lisping queens obsessed with clothes and the other a whiny momma's boy, neither acting anything like a man should.
Sorry, ranting here. As a gay dude who plays games, I'm really frustrated by the state of gay characters in games and even more frustrated at developers like Bioware who get a big, fat F in my book when it comes to gay content.
But Obsidian did a good job with the gay characters in New Vegas. Let's hope some of the writers from Bethesda were taking notes.
