No, no, no, no, no, no, NO. I do NOT want pregnancy in my Bioware games. This isn't Fable.

Yeah, all those who compare it with the sims when a subject like pregnancy is bought up.

If I wanted to play a game where I customized my character's face, I'd play the Sims.

If I wanted to play a game where I invested in my house, I'd play the Sims.

If I wanted to play a game where I had children, I'd play the Sims.

If I wanted to play a game where I stayed in the same location, I'd play the Sims.

If I wanted to play a game where I had a career, I'd play the Sims.

If I wanted to play a game where I wasted my time making friendships, I'd play the Sims.



Is that all of them?




For relevance. It is so old already.



I wonder what the Fable version is.

Ugh. No, no, no, and no. I don't want or plan children IRL; why on Thedas would I want one or more in-game?!

If there is, the punchline should be that the baby's name is predetermined

And fully voiced.  And it would be born with its own locked on gear that upgrades as he/she/it levels up

Sorry I didn't read 12 pages of replies. Wardens are all sterile I thought, so Hawk will never have children or be pregnant.



Personally I don't care one way or the other about pregnancies. If it fits in the story then it does, if not then not. I personally liked the pregnancy in BG2. Though the whole idea of "Life force is tied with my own, so if I get resurrected so will the baby" is silly, but I see the necessity of it.

Hawke isn't a warden.

People take it too personally, it is like disliking a book because it has children in it.



But this topic is pointless now, only a trollbait. And Hawke is not a Warden.

Pregnancy crossed my mind since ME2, I imagined a story were Shepard got killed then years later his/her son/daughter seeks revenge. The player then must choose how this will be achieved, throught paragon or renegade leading in great emotional cutscenes and moments...

But SPOILER ALERT FOR RED DEAD REDEMPTION,
Rockstar beat me to it with Red Dead Redemption. Near the end of the game, John Marston, the main character, get kill, the player can't avoid it. Then you play his son and avenge him.

Seeing you posts, I keep thinking you're the best accidental troller.

I have enough children to raise IRL. I play games to escape from them, not to have more to take care of :)

Im gonna go with a I dislike this idea answer.

why would you want pregnacy in the game? for a roleplay aspect!! nonesence you do not gain an emotional tie to the child it does not instill any paternal/maternal instincts within you, having a child is a life changing event which can make even the most callous evil person revaluate thier decisions but this wouldnt be reflected in game as you wouldnt have that kind of attachment to the child.

My only thought is perhaps you want the child as some kind of trophy to say to your mates "Yeah I had a child with compinion 101 its so cool"

So nope having a child in this style of game holds no intrest for me

I like the idea. Isolde asks something like "What would you have done if it was your child?" when she defends her actions regarding Connor. I always thought this was a foreshadowing alert and that having children would be inevitable. This would have eventual led to the warden finding herself in a similar position as Isolde, and having to make tough decisions. I forget the name of the woman who was able to conceive despite being a warden (people believe she is Alistair's real mother). I thought our warden would meet her and she would help us.

With regard to how the child would be raised, I imagine he would require either a stay at home dad/mom or a nanny. Or it could be like how Matrim travels with that kid (can't remember his name either) in WoT. The time skips in DA2 would be perfect for glossing over the kid's annoying toddler years.

But this is where the problem arises, It is not a tough decision as thier is no emotional attachment to be had.
A player who decides he is morally corrupt for the playthrough will go oh well kill the child and move on, the player following the path of purity will go ohh lets do all we can to save the child and then moves on, none of these decisions based on the child but rather on what progresses thier character best.

I'm not so sure. Take the Witcher, for example. Despite the small amount of fatherly interactions we had with (Alvin?) people felt emotional attachment to him... he's just a helpless little kid afterall.

So we would feel less emotional attachment if Alvin was our kid?

Wouldn't we feel more attachment?

No, my point was the reason people didn't mind Alvin was because he was already past the annoying stage, and the fact that he wasn't our kid. at least thats how I felt about it. It was like picking up a stray cat, a stray teleporting time traveling cat.
