Skyrim Will Include Same-Sex Marriage

I can't wait to have make a home with another dude lizard, caring for (then eating) the children we've kidnapped.

Not a huge deal? Sure it starts out as just man on man, but then you move up to man on ork, man on tiger-man, and man on lizard-man. And once you go that far, you are pratically on level of such perversion as man on dragon, man on goblin, and worst of all, man on troll (which, to my knowledge, always ends up as troll on man).

But I think the real reason not to make a big deal out of marriage is that if it is anything like fable, marriage will be essentially nothing more than picking out an npc with the least hideous character model. I can't imagine it easy to give endearing personalities to every NPC walking the streets. But then again, I can't tell the difference between fable and a turd about to get reheated, so maybe Skyrim will find a way to make it more interesting.

"...evil people who are trying to destroy happiness."

Just wanted you to know that I laughed pretty hard at that. I don't know why, but I found it hysterical. That's all I have to contribute to this thread.

Okay Daniel. I nominate sandineyes to The People Speak, because his troll comment was funny. I don’t know maybe he was just trolling, but he got my nomination anyway.

Agreed about the Fable comparison. I'm still hoping that will be avoided, maybe by limiting marriage to companion characters or certain special NPCs, but the way they say "any male or female" has me concerned that -- at best -- we're going to see Dragon Age II syndrome where every character is bi for the Dovahkiin.

"NOW WITH GAY VIKINGS!" So sayeth the gamestop shop on powel street, San Francisco, as they fought off the horde of gaymers at their doorstep. Leviticus 28

And lay off Fable! I was happy to go bareback in that game! ...with pink mutton chops!

Gaymer... a new Elven race?

In all seriousness though, I applaud Bethesda's "So what?" stance on the option. Not making a statement, merely giving the option for those wish to opt.

that so gay

I was gonna nominate sandineyes, but I see tinymhg has done it already. So I second the motion.

Am I the only one wondering why this has made the news for all relevant gaming sites?

im totally gonna marry another man, and then im gonna **** him in the ***, just to shine on all the conservative video gamers out there lmao

im sorry...in drunken retrospect, i think that was too harsh. And it wont let me remove my comment facebook style0 so im stuck with my stupid post

I’m I the only person in the world to find it a little odd (queer?) to have a game set in a medieval time frame that has such a progressively modern attitude toward gay marriage? Wouldn’t they be more backwards than that?

Christianity is much the only group that has ever heavily persecuted homosexuality throughout history, no Chrisitian denominations in Skyrim therefore no persecution

Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. Leviticus 18:22 (NIV)

This is from the old testament which was and still is a Jewish holy book also. And I never said there would be persecution, even in societies that openly embraced homosexual behavior, such as the classic Greeks, marriage was between a man and a woman. Gay marriage is a totally modern idea the first time I ever heard of it was in a Hard Times segment, titled Dutch Treat (pg 136), in the August 1983 issue of Penthouse magazine.

Do you have a fan boy or do you actually thumbs up every one of your comments?

Your off topic, but unlike some others I take pride in what I write, and until they take away my ability to do so I will continue to “Thumbs Up” my own posts.

Also your wrong about Christianity being the only major persecutors of homosexuals Islam holds a very dim view of homosexuality.

A gay lizard man couple must go thru tons of lube... they probably use whale oil or something similar in medieval times.

Lizard man sex a whole new twist on getting a piece of tail.
