Heterosexual Quests

I want to give major kudos to Zenimax/Bethesda for including Heterosexual NPCs in Tamriel!

I have met so many quests that deal with heterosexual couples! Their stories are so moving. :-) Shouldn't we have more quests like this in the game?!

While we're glorifying NPC's because of their sexual preferences, would anyone like to share their favorite in-game heterosexual couple story?

The inspiration: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/88234/lgbt-quests#latest

    Absolutely. Some of them really made me think. Bosmer fan that I am, I could write a page about the Silvenar and the Green Lady. But I guess we're talking about the "completely normal, nothing to see here, move along" kind.

    So this morning I came across a village which anchors in Greenshade every hundred of years and stays in their 'paradise' in-between. But they need to leave someone behind to be able to return. The new caretaker had to decide between staying for the good of the whole village, and leaving with his pregnant wife. Obvious choice is obvious, but I'm playing a very honorable character, very focused on her duty to her people; she could not bring herself to advise someone to abandon his post for personal reasons. I effectively broke a family and sentenced a child to grow up without a father. I didn't even like that quest... This whole paradise idea seems fishy. But my character made a choice which I, the player, regret - so I have to admit it did move me.

    So yeah, more interesting heterosexual quests, Zenimax!

    That's a very good choice of quests to post about. I remember that one fondly as well. I chose the same way.

    Interesting question. If someone poses information and then a question and the person who accesses that information doesn't understand the information or question, did the former person not convey the information clearly enough or did the latter not think about it enough? We'll probably never know for sure, of course.

    I don't understand. Why would male and female relationships NOT be uncommon in Tamriel?

    I didn't know there was a shortage of heterosexual content. By that same token I didn't notice a flood of homosexual content, either.

    Toon / Mana / WoW or any acronym following "In ___" /
    Pets (when referring to summoned Daedra) / Any verbiage to express slang (ie, ending in uz,az,..) / Soul Stone
    ... to be continued.

    Now, get off my lawn.

    There's not a shortage.

    The people in the thread I linked seemed to think there was enough homosexual content to celebrate. I just figured I'd let the rest of the couples in the game have a chance.

    Yes, clearly my intelligence is lacking. That´s it.

    Because heterosexual people have always been mocked and hated upon.

    I know right! Why couldn't they have the same rights just like homosexual couples right? Oh wait...

    Does that mean that people's favorite NPC in-game heterosexual love stories are unworthy of being mentioned?

    I am pleased with the level of interracial relationships in this game. Love means that you can love whomever regardless of race or gender. For instance, I was just on a quest in the desert where a human was married to a cat-girl (it's like every (okay some) anime enthusiasts dream), just a sign that Tamriel is a place where it doesn't matter who you are, you can live and let live.

    Yay for happiness!

    That you are mocking people for praising Zenimax for being inclusive. Then you even admit that you are partially mocking them.
