Why can't my wife give birth? I don't want adopted children

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 9:15 am

My character was made barren during her time imprisoned. Her only option is adoption.

By the Nine !

Thank you ! Thank you !!!
Now I have a reason from Role-Playing perspective to adopt a child !
Couldn't think of that , stupid me.

Summer , you are officially my favorite moderator ! :biggrin:

Brian took an arrow to what some thought was the knee and made incapable of producing a child.

Sounds like Brian might have been part of the stage production of "The Lusty Argonian Maid". Late night shows only 10 Septims in the Drunken Skeever!

Whiterun isn't Rohan is it ?
Now look at the pictures.
ha i said this isn't fable but it most definitely is middle earth inspired. taking inspiration from the genius of tolkien isn't a bad thing so long as you stay away from the peter jackson, basterdized happy ending, version of the books ;)

Tolkien's world was built largely on real-world historical references. I wish people would stop giving him credit for "inventing" things like Rohan's architecture, which is pretty much just Icelandic.

The Lord of the Rings is a landmark fantasy series, but Tolkien isn't a god. Stop giving him credit as the source of all things fantastical, since he drew on other source material in the first place.

COULD Bethesda have created a mod that allows for pregnancy, infants, crawlers, toddler, little kids, bigger kids, and teens? Yes.
Would it have been easy? No. It would have taken uncountable man-hours of work. All to satisfy the tiny percentage of people who would only be satisfied with "natural" children.

The simple, painful economic truth is that you can't spend huge amounts of resources just to cater to a small group of people. That might be possible for governments, because if governments spend more money than they get back, they just raise taxes or pump up the national debt. Bethesda is a business. If they waste money, they go bankrupt, and have to lay off all their staff. And then, no Fallout 4. No Elder Scrolls VI: Elseweyr. No more epic open worlds to explore.

Almost every culture in Middle Earth was meant to correspond to a real-world human culture. It doesn't make Tolkien any less of an author. It just means that we can stop treating his work as the fount from which all fantasy worlds spring.

That's pretty advanced stuff. Can we be sure that artificial insemination exists in the series' canon?

They're a damn sight tastier than chicken, that's all I know.

But still, magic, no one's gotta explain it.

You know the funniest thing about this?

People asked for children.

Now they will be able to care for a child.

It's not good enough for those people.

Hilarious, right?

ha a bit off topic but i'm well aware of his inpirations...he took ideas from norse mythology, history, religion, his life, etc. and wove them all into an amazing story that inspires new ideas and thats why he was a brilliant writer.

TES wouldn't be the same if the original team never read his works and help spark the idea for these great games. He's not the only inspiration for TES but you can see through the series that theres alot of tolkien there

think adoption solves more issues than it creates problems and I want them to spend the time on making a bigger and beefier and more awesome DLC next time around rather than spend the time it would take to address all the issues of having natural childbirth in a game (it wasn't that much fun in real life to tell the truth).

The simple, painful economic truth is that you can't spend huge amounts of resources just to cater to a small group of people.

That's the main issue: too much work for too little interest. But that doesn't mean it's not possible. Anything is possible if the interest is there.

That's their problem. I'm looking forward to building my own house and adopting a kid or three, and no amount of whining from them will change that. And I think I speak for a lot of others when I make that statement.

Seriously, people have been asking for this since the game jam, which specifically showed "adoption." Up until last week people have been requesting this feature. Now this week, its not good enough. I swear, the worst part about video games are the terrible communities of people who play them :|

I can always take a trip to imagination land and pretend that a child I adopted is actually the biological offspring of my character. No biggie. It would be a bit harder to pretend that Generic Nord Child is the biological offspring of my Dunmer couple, though. I'd rather have adoptable children of other races before actual childbirth. Not to mention that would be much easier to implement.

I wonder if you'll be able to snatch up all those kids who worship you and go around asking, "Will you be my daddy/mommy?" Their original parents won't miss them, will they? :biggrin:

Wait a second.. Are there any argonian or Khajiit kids in the game normally? I don't think they were.. Or Orc.. Or Elf.. Or Imperial.. Or Breton.. I see what your talking about now.. Nord children is a problem.. When they grow up and if they say Skyrim is the home of the Nords.. I would be like, well now your not young so that means your killable..

I agree, I'd like to see kids of other races as well, and it's possible that Hearthfire will see them introduced. But even if that doesn't happen right away, the good news is that the adoption mechanic is in place. If Bethesda does a later DLC where they need to create non-human children (such as an adventure in Morrowind, or Elseweyr), it would be simple to make some of the kids they create for it adoptable.

I believe they would need to update a DLC.. I'm not to sure how that works though, to be honest.. Unless they just had that option in a blank folder if you did not buy it

There are technically http://images.uesp.net/6/69/SR-npc-Clinton_Lylvieve.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/7/7c/SR-npc-Samuel.jpg, http://images.uesp.net/b/b8/SR-npc-Assur.jpg, and http://images.uesp.net/0/09/SR-npc-Kayd.jpg children, but as they all look pretty much exactly the same, it's hard to tell.
