I'm fine with this as long as I'm not force to marry to continue the romance.

[Bocks]

Ugh. No. NO.

PLEASE NO.

I'm starting to hope that the Reapers win.

[78stonewobble]

In danish we have a joke about marriage. Married is called "GIFT" ... incidentally the same word as for poison.
"GIFT? Thats something you take to avoid being GIFT!"
Probably looses something in the translation...



In any case I don't hope for an ingame marriage. To me it seem's a bit to peacetimish for me... I'd rather have the love interest move into the captains cabin or something like that.

[Sister Helen]

I work with a lot of unmarried young women with children; part of what I do is establishing paternity for the purpose of medical coverage.  The majority of these young women are not married when they give birth.  Some of these women are living with the father of one of the children, some are not. 

If you ask these women if they are married (or engaged to) their boyfriends, their eyes light up, and then they get quiet.  "Maybe in a few years," or "Maybe when my kid is a bit older" or "I want to, he's good with his kids, but he hasn't asked..." Not one of them says that she doesn't believe in marriage or that it is an archaic institution, or that the couple is so committed to each other that a marriage certificate is just a piece of meaningless paper.

So yes, I believe that marriage is fading as an entity in my culture.  And I am sad over it.

[Son of Illusive Man]

Yes. Liara as wife and Garrus as best man.

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Marriage would be cool as a post game joke thing. Like if they have Shep air-guitar rockin' in front of the bathroom mirror as the end credits roll.

[Son of Illusive Man]

They could have a small thing on the Normandy before they go into the final battle, and then depending on the outcome, they would either get a full ceremony in the epilogue or have a sad ending where on dies.

[Badpie]

No way. That kind of stuff should be left to the player's imagination and fan fics. My Shepard isn't getting married anytime soon.

[V-rex]

Ideally no.

It should be left to our own imagination as to what happens next, besides it's kind of:
A. A massive cliche
B. A pointless gimmick
C. Perpetuating the tragic nerd stereotype

Look I love the character Ashley Williams and in an ideal Mass Effect universe, she belongs with Shepard... no exceptions. That doesn't mean I want there to be a wedding scene in it, it would feel a little out of place.
Though maybe if it was in the epilogue or something but right now I remain unsure and unconvinced. If it happens at all it should be one brief scene, not a huge major moment in the game.

i doubt people still bother to get married that far into the future. its so archaic and primitive, might as well get rid of it.

The ultimate symbol of a man and a woman's love for each other, representing their commitment to each other no matter what the world might throw at them...and you think it's archaic and primitive? You sir, are a douche.

Its not though,  it's a symbol of commitment until one of them gets board/angry/ or what have you.  It's not like it used to be,  it benifits you for insurance policies and perhaps child rearing but its the ultimate expression of nothing.  The ultimate expression of commitment is getting together and staying together it doesn't require a ritual.

My parents have been married for thirty five years,  my uncles and aunts have been together from thirty to forty years. I am number eight of eleven children. My eldest sisters have been married for ten and six years respectively, and my oldest brother and fifth oldest sister both got married to their fiance's last year, with my newest nephew born a few weeks ago

Not only that, but my friends at uni all come from happy, stable family's, including several exchange students from all over the world. In Australia AND America, the divorce rate is dropping drastically. People are rediscovering what being married means.

The institution of marriage as a pledge of fidelity and the basis of a stable family  is alive and well, your argument is invalid I'm quite happy to tell you.

My argument isn't invalid as a succesful marriage is becoming less and less common as the years go on.  It's not really a promise anymore,  it's simply a coupling of financial responcibility.  Your friends and family being all happily married is at best  a rarity and a freak accident.

One doesn't require a religious rite to bind them to another,  sure,  it can be fun but it isn't a neccesity. 

And yet I've never met anyone who has been divorced. A few of my friend's parents had split I'll admit, but they were the exception, not the rule. My Air Force buddy got married on a Corporal's salary (next to nothing), and his fiance was a junior accountant. Financial responsibility had nothing to do with it, the fact that they loved each other and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together did.

Perhaps you need re-examine your statistics?

Where do you live seriously?  I'm shocked that you've never met a divorced person..

[Cam-Tal]

I dunno about a wedding, but I would love an epilogue thing that gives closure to tie up all the loose ends.

[Badpie]

You don't need marriage to commit to a person. Marriage is great for some (I myself am married) but for others it's just not their thing. Also over 50% of couples in the US get divorced. Marriage itself does not = commitment. Commitment does.

So my Shepard will no doubt be fully committed to Ash but I don't really see either of them as the "hooray let's get married now!" kind of people.

No.
Why waste dev time and resources for something like this? Seriously, I would rather see Shep do the macarena than have a wedding implemented.

I kind of agree with this, I'm already worried enough that they are going overboard with all this romance stuff in ME 3 (just seems like there is so much content and dialog for them to do)

[MegaBadExample]

As long as it's not forced on the player. I'm down for a Joker/EDI wedding tbh.

[Eliantariel]

On twitter there was a post some time ago concerning great relationship moments and wedding, here the quotes:

Raving_Ranter:
@CaseyDHudson When r u gonna give us a kromance? Beyond time! Hope u'll have gr8 relationship moments, some of my Sheps wanna get wed.

Raving_Ranter:
@CaseyDHudson Also, please let Joker get with someone already, the man has SSSSOOO earned it!

@CaseyDHudsonCasey Hudson
@Raving_Ranter I think we've got you covered on all counts, except maybe the Kromance.

Though I must admit that I have no idea if Caseys answer included the wedding option

[VettoRyouzou]

I think the proposal would be enough to make me happy.

[Ianamus]

I hope not; It's not a Disney Movie. As long as the ending shows Shepard and his/her LI to some extent I'll be happy.

[CheeseEnchilada]

I'd like the option to talk to the LIs about the future, as long as none of the options cause a break-up. Just a small, hopeful conversation that gives you something else to fight for.

As for weddings in game? My main concern would be taking alien culture into account. We don't know how their traditions go, if they even have any. For example, Thane referred to Irikah as his wife. Do drell have marriage traditions, or was that just the translator picking up the nearest word? I guess there wouldn't be any complications if you had a human LI, but if there was a marriage scene, make sure it's explicitly optional. Otherwise you're going to have a lot of unhappy gamers.

[HypnoBlasto]

It will be horrible, another generic ending with blue kids and weird stuff!

[TexasToast712]

FOX would have a field day ripping on Mass Effect if it had weddings because of the possibility s/s romances.

[Youknow]

The only person that I'd fine this would work with are people like Ashley. Everyone else it wouldn't be too great. Having a conclusion to the romance would be fine, but mariage isn't something that makes a ton of sense for some people. 

What would work however, would be something like say "Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword" where they have an epilogue, and they show the person your main character hooked up with doing stuff WITH their love interest (or alone if they didn't end up with anyone). Maybe like a get together to celebrate the day they beat the reapers. And establish that your Sheperd is happy with that person.

For all intense and purposes my Shep and Liara are married. They just haven't filled out the paperwork yet.

This is the only reason I may be interested in this,  the journalistic frenzy would be glorious.

And you think EA cares? They've got gay marriage (and sex and adoption and everything) in the freaking T for Teen rated SIMS.
