Next Elder Scrolls game better let me rail the handsome argonian rogue in the alley behind the Swan and Tomato

VOLCEL GUARD! Hands where I can see them. Pay your fine, or go to Horny Jail.

It's too bad I have maxed out acrobatics and the Boots of Springheel Jack!

VolCel guards eventually de-aggro because out of range

Whoa, hold on with this optimism

Everyone talks about the romance options nobody talks about how you can have a dog.

One of the mods I had was the one that lets you have other kinds of animals. At first I was like "What kinda animals?" and the first one I got was a goat. Seemed appropriate for my heavily Conan-inspired character to have a goat.I didn't finish that quest line.

I didn't finish that quest line.

many such cases

You can have a dog? Was that a DLC thing?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Just checked the wiki and yeah they're a DLC thing

There's also the bunny-cop in the alchemist's shack near Ivarstead.

Best combo was having a chicken and letting someone kill it in town then watch all NPC's beat them.

And then made it so the creepy gamer bros couldn’t get with their waifu Serana.
Absolutely based.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

You cant marry serana because of the age gap

Something something power dynamics

considering it's TES lore, everone being bi is probably just canon since 1978

[–] RION@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't think it was laziness. TES Characters like Pelinial are explicitly gay and have been for years. Then there's all Vivec's dalliances...

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

One must imagine Morihaus happy.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yeah, true, I guess it's just funnier that way

[–] RION@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

True, but what passed for romance in Skyrim is so minimal and generic it might been just laziness lol.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

They did the same thing with relationships in Darkest Dungeon II and small number of losers got angry.

You know what Skyrim needed? A romantic rejection simulator where you can’t marry your favorite NPC because some bits don’t match up in the code. They added marriage into the viking murder hobo game. Now you want immersive heterosexuality? What’s next, combat where your weapons don’t phase through your opponents? Shop keeps who can’t be tricked by a bucket? Eat your slop, swine. Buy the 12th rerelease. See Todd Howard in your nightmares. Then realize that he’s bisexual and despair.

Dialogue in the last few Bethesda games has been so pisspoor I have no idea how people can get invested in romance. It's not exactly Wayhaven...

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

First Bethesda game that even had any romance was Skyrim and it was just a step removed from beating someone with club in head and dragging them to a cave, so the bisexuality was more an effect of laziness in general than a conscious choice.

Real af, kinda bioware vibes.
