Family Man, Carrying on your legacy Options

[ashton16]

Bethesda really missed out on incorporating a few small features of "Fable" into this installment of the Elder Scrolls. Namely the "sim" elements.

For instance, you need the option to court partners in the game---their availability being judged by your fame or completed quests---meaning, if you've closed a city's Oblivion Gate you could court the count or countess there. If you've done absolutely jack crap...you could court a beggar.

Each courtship itself could carry small quests---searching for prized jewels or doing favors for the person's family. If your mate is wicked---you may have to kill for their affections. You could even have to beat the living hell out of another possible suitor.

Once the missions are completed you can join them in marriage, and purchase a home where that person will almost always remain, unless they have a skooma habit or like to shop a lot.

From there, you could be unfaithful in other cities, or even follow Bill Paxton into a ficticious life of polygamy.

And I don't really the know the modding capabilities these days---but having offspring that are facial amalgamations of you and your partner would be the shizzle.

=o well i don't know about the conception aspect, but i realy liekthe idea of offspring.

Could somone copy over the maps from morrowind?

hmmmmmm my mind at work again:
Since the Emperor died, the Council took over, and since it's a pretty drastic change from a Monarchy to a Democracy, it will be a long time for all the kinks to be worked out at the top, leaving the Empire weakened for a few generations. Since most adults in the Imperial Provence are pretty loyal to the Empire, there won't be too big of a problem there untill the kids grow up, trying to be loyal to a fledging democracy full of corruption bla bla bla. To add to this, even tough mainland Morrowind is fairly loyal, Vardinfell seccedes from the Empire, and in it's weekened state, the Empire can't do much. The solution? The Empire mandates that all children will be trained from age 2 to the age of 18 to serve in the Legion, to #1 make sure they don't revolt, #2 gain a force strong enough to recapture Morrowind.

meanwhile, you find a spouse, fall in love, and have a kid. Your kid gets taken from you to serve in the Legion, and you don't see him/her for 16 more years, when he is discharged and put into the "reserves." You have a brief reunion with your son/daughter, but the Empire declares war on Morrowind, so your child has to go and fight. You then assume command of your child character, and (cutscene) you travel to Morrowind, to be part of the asuult (end cutscene). what you would do in the war would depend on you and your spouse's race. Forinstance, if your child was Dunmer, you could blend in with the populus, become a double agent, climb up the ladder, and aid the war effort in that way, whreas if your child was Kajiit they could be an assassin, or an imperial would become an officer, issuing orders and such.
