Skyrim Allows Same Sex Marriage

[Vinhthehero]

You can marry anyone in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda has confirmed.

Unlike its predecessor, Oblivion, the next game in the Elder Scrolls series will let you make friends. Some friends can become friends with benefits. And they can then become your spouse. Even if they're the same gender as you.

Oblivion often felt very mechanical in the way you dealt with its inhabitants; you'd use them for a quest then they'd either disappear or you'd run out of things to say.

In Skyrim, those you befriend will be, well, friends! Get cozy and they might tag along and help you out in a fight. And if you get real cozy, if you buy a house, then they'll move in with you.

I'd stop using that NPC as a companion the second we got married. I don't want to worry about bringing my wife into a battle with Motherf*cking Dragons.

Still a really cool feature though. With in-game marriage being rare, and usefulness being even rarer, this is something people will be really interested in, even if it's been done before.

Be like one of people who commented on what they'd do.


I personally plan on having a wife, murdering her, stealing her soul (if possible) and storing the body near whatever house I inhabit. I'll then marry again and again until the place is brimming with corpses, and if cannibalism is an option, I'll then feed upon their rotting flesh. I'll then enchant various bits of clothing and armor with their souls so that I can wear them.

It makes you have to spend all your gold on shoes.
Then you get kids and your character is too tired to fight evil, you stay home and get fat and lazy and get addicted to alcohol.

Then you delete your save and start a new game.

Reminds me of Fable when I would beat up my children.
