Comment on One can dream
Klear@piefed.world 2 weeks agoThe whole thing just feels extremely fake. I mean, it’s a video game, everything there is fake, but the marriage in particular is something I can’t suspend my disbelief enough to accept as being real in the context of the game world.
Eh, im fine with it personally, clear out all the usual gameified BS.
It makes a certain story mod that says the Nords are homophobic feel like the jarring oddity, given Skyrim was the first in the series to do away with restrictions on marriage, and its not considered abnormal anyway.
Sometimes its fine to streamline and simplify.
In the mod “The Lost City” they have racism against Redguards that feels really out of place.

They even try (poorly) to justify it in a loading screen tip. Basically, “people die young in Skyrim; that’s why they’ll agree to marry you after you’ve done them a single minor favor.”

God, that reminds me of Fallout 4 and how after doing one favour for people they just let you completely take over their settlement.
