Skyrim Pregnancy : V

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 4:08 pm

So I was mindlessly walking around in Whiterun and I saw the puny weakling Lars Battle-Born. I then started thing what if we can get married, get our wives pregnant, 9 in-game days later *Bloop* a baby is born. Once your kid turns a certain age you can give him either the Warrior, Thief, or Mage stone. Depending on which stone you give him he will become a Warrior, Thief, or Mage. And finally 18 weeks after his birth he will offer to be your companion.
I know, I know, this is a pretty crazy idea but I think it's pretty cool, right?

Nope.

It is pretty cool. Although i don't think bethesda wants to go through so much work and actually think of what races we could procriate with and such. It is a great ideia tho

What happens if you're playing a female and she marries a dude? Whaddaya do with your character for those nine in-game days? Play a mini-game of "get to the bucket before the morning sickness makes you puke"? Send the husband on a quest to find pickles and ice cream? Keep your fingers crossed that the midwife knows what she's doing and your character doesn't die giving birth?

You just know there would be people up in arms if Bethesda said "Nope. Not having the cat-people make babies with the people-people. This ain't anime, folks."

There would be rioting furries as far as the eyes could see.

Nah thats to realistic. Plus what if you're a female? I play as a female and if I was pregnant in the game my baby would be dead within a day becuase of the stuff I do ^_^

I like the idea, in forms. What really bugs me about Skyrim children is that..aside from Redguards, there are only human children.
But back on topic. I think it'd be nice to have someone to call my own next-to-kin, ya'know? Though I wouldn't endanger him with mammoth hunting.

Would Beth risk an AO rating for sixy times? Guess they could do it like in New Vegas, with a darkened screen and some grunts and gasps...

In one of the books of Skyrim they say argonians and khajiits can't reproduce with other races other than their own. That's a start

The thing is, to implement stuff like this, they would have to spend less time implementing other, more important features. For that reason, I say no thanks. If people want to create mods for this, that's fine, but silly features like this take time away from important ones that I'd rather have Bethesda spending their time on.

Granted.

I still think it might be an annoyance to most people, though. Most people seem to hold one of two opinions regarding marriage in Skyrim: (1) it was a neat idea poorly implemented, or (2) it was a bad idea from the ground up. I doubt results would be different with pregnancy, childbirth and raising a little rugrat. It just doesn't translate well to a computer game.

I feel like if they do pregnancy they would include abortion too.

It's do-able tho. If they spent a little more time perfectioning it it would be a good ideia

You know full well that ain't happening.

Just pretend I quoted all of Gram's posts in this thread and then left them here.

I enjoy the babymaking simulation in The Sims, not here please. It's just awkward here.

Mmm. Consider me a skeptic. I'm one of the "marriage was a dumb idea to begin with in a computer game" people, myself. It doesn't bother me that it's in the game, but it's something that I'm a little surprised they bothered to include.

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 10:13 pm

there is a reason why i don't play sims anymore....

I understand you. Marriage means less freedom and that in a video game is really not cool

You know that Redguards are human, right?

Anyway, there is a mod that allows pregnancy for Morrowind. It was an interesting idea, but I wasn't overly fond of it.

lol

Well, no, I don't mind it in that sense. Choices inherently restrict freedom once made; that's the nature of choices having consequences. It's just that there are situations that lend themselves well to games, and situations that don't. Marriage and childbirth just don't seem to work well with an RPG to me. To mean anything they require too much in the way of personal interaction, and that just doesn't work in this sort of game.

I think what they meant was, "There are children for the various races of humans except for Redguards, but only humans; no elf, Khajit or Argonian children."

At least that's what I took them to mean.

I know but what I was trying to say that there are only human children, besides Redguards.
