WTF? Apparent confirmation of ROMANCES in skyrim

I certainly didn't see that one coming!

Wow, that's really out of the blue! I'm worried about the quality of these romances because the writing for NPC's have been mediocre for Bethesda games. It could be cool, but I have a feeling it will at least sort of lame.

[naughty99]

if there are no cutscenes, how does the romance work?

you can walk away from the NPC when she's talking to you, so....???

Oh lord... romances in Skyrim? What's wrong with the world? If Bethesda cannot into normal dialog, how awful would their romantic dialog be?

I'd assume it'll be like the Fallouts though. Fade to Black + noises and stuff. You'd probably have to get into bed to activate the scene, since you're not locked into conversations anymore.

That's exactly what I thought. Romances work great in more linear games where you can have cutscenes and engaging conversations (like DA:O), but I can't think of cutscene-less games that successfully have romances.

Holy crap there are romances????

I didn't see this one at all, either. This almost garauntees the writing is going to be a lot better, cause it would fall flat on its face without it. I don't see Bethesda putting this in Skyrim unless they are confident it'll be really good. I think Bethesda took the criticism on writing in step with everything else. How they do remains to be seen, but I'm certain it was targeted for vast improvement like third person. Sure, third person is technical, but I truly believe they are giving full effort and making this game with loving affection.

Plus.....drumroll...I bet Radiant Story will allow for some "spouse quests". It would in a technical sense support spouse quests very well

Girl: We need to talk...
Dov: *Simply walks away because there are no cut scenes*

Don't worry - they'll perfect romances by Elder Scrolls 10: That Other Continent on Tamriel.

There's no source for that article.

If it's true, however, I expect this to be hilarious.

Romances would be kind of strange in a game like Skyrim where most of the time is spent solo questing. It makes more sense in a party based game like Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate where there is more time for in-character interactions.

It could be fun though. Since followers are in Skyrim, perhaps there is a romance option that could be limited to some followers. I just hope the follower system is better than it was in Fallout 3. Unless it was Dogmeat, most of the followers died off really fast from my experience or were just too costly to maintain properly with ammo and other equipment.

I'm going to need a source before I believe that.
Not that I'm against the idea, my poor Nerevarine desperately needed some booty.

[J0HNL3I]

ill need a source before i belive that, i think a website like ign or somthing would have found that out first

I just bounced through the thread and a few posts, after the vid parts. From what was said on the podcast, the leveling system will be similar to Obl. If I understand right. From watching the Demo, the skills increased from using the associated action. So if it is like Obl, I found myself grinding for skills more than actually playing the game. At least after my first playthrough.

The Dragons are not set to a script, so they just fly around on their own and do what ever, sometimes in packs. How cool is that? It seems other NPC / creatures do the same. Looks great, sounds great, just a little questioned about the leveling. Maybe it will not be as screwed up as Obl.

It will be a bit similar with some key differences
1. no major or minor skills - you do whatever you want, specialist or jack of all trades
2. no running to increase athletics 
3. no jumping to increase acrobatics
4. no spamming Unlock spells on a door to raise Alteration
5. according to Todd Howard, they tried to get rid of most of these repetitive leveling activities
6. each skill has a different perk tree with perhaps as many as 15-16 perks for each skill (total perks 280, total skills 18)
7. in between character levels, some perks get unlocked when you reach a certain skill level, some perks require the perk before it in the tree to get unlocked
8. at character level up you choose one perk per level, up to level 50
9. theoretical maximum level is 70-80

@ naughty:

Hey, thanks for the mini brief. Damn, you're pretty informed on this stuff. Do you work for them or something? lol

That's good to hear, about the leveling system. Looking forward to the game. My Obl took 450 hrs to complete everything. So it looks like Sky is going to eat up a lot of time. That's good seeing how ME3 has been set back. Hmmmm...I wonder if they set it back partly due to the other great games coming out the fall? ( thinking......) Naaaah....

I doubt they would have the emphasis on it Bioware does since its not a party based game. Still, I don't see why it couldn't work.

[HoonDing]

If it is true (seriously guys, check the source), I doubt it will be full-fledged romances, but rather being able to sleep/flirt with certain people, like in Fallout 3.

LOL I wish!

I'm just looking forward to the game so I try to read all the interviews.

Is there going to be another Adoring Fan? (Want Bethesda to answer this so I can try to glean whether or not the Arena might be returning)

Don't joke about stuff like that!!!!! LoL

[Bryy_Miller]

So. I took a jaunt down memory lane last night when one of my team found all of my old posts from The Movies category of the Lionhead Forums.

I was shocked to discover that I once liked Oblivion.

Submit yourself to the Authorities and turn in your trolling liscense. You have shamed the ignoble profession and broken the credo in the Troll's handbook "Trolling for Dummies". You must pay a fine of 4,500g and lose all Magicka and Fatigue points.
