Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Message Board  

I just wish Bethesda would add romances for once, you always play someone that is never interested in romance in their game and that makes it feel like your character is more like a robot than a living being.

Marriage (even same sex marriage) was confirmed as well for Skyrim.

Awesome! And that one guy was wrong, werewolves ARE going to be in the game, even the topic for werewolf in that wiki says that werewolves are CONFIRMED for Skyrim.

elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Werewolf

That list he gave didn't mention Vampires or Werewolves from what I saw. The list did say a lot of interesting things, like they took out main attributes like strength, willpower, etc and put those effects into other things. They have about 18 skills, which is about 3 less than Oblivion but they have a lot of perks you can gain which might make up for that. One cited example of a perk was that there was one which decreases the sound of your footsteps when walking/running. The topic said it would be possible to get all skills up to 100 but not possible to get all perks. That's probably true, unless we cheat, I imagine that will let us get all perks.

Well,that's it then...
I'm going to be a thief/assassin/ninja/werewolf!!!
(possibly Vampire on my 2nd play through)

Don't expect TOO much from the 'romances'.

Yes, it has marriage, but it's not going to be a Mass Effect/Dragon Age type of: "OH SHEPARD/WARDEN!".

I'm not sure how in-depth it really is, but it has never been Bethesda's strong suit, to state the obvious.

Heck, I'll probably try it out once for fun, but not a lot of time to nurture a "relationship" when I'm out in the mountains hunting for dungeons & dragons and phat lewt.

P.s: I wonder if you can marry someone and then take them along to a dungeon? Would be awesome to have a tavern wench-turned-dragon hunter on my side!

Maybe that's it? Maybe the people you can marry are all possible companions? Fallout games really fleshed out companions for Bethesda games compared to Oblivion, they gave us companion quest, dialog and everything. That'd be interesting.

To be fair, Mass Effect romances are not as in depth as Dragon Age. As for Skyrim romances, we'll see how it is soon enough. I've been watching someone free play videos and so far, upon leveling up, you get to choose between 3 attributes to level up. They're stamina, health, and magic. As for perks, you need certain amount of efficiency in whatever categories to get the higher perks.

Apparently they're also adding in cannibalism. You'll be able to join a society that will have a feast of human flesh.
