An NPC offers you a passionate kiss, who would you like it to be?

We don't know if Isobel doesn't like guys, we only know she likes girls. Besides, she even appeared to be interested in Bolgrul.

She also says things like "Jakarn has tried to hit on me no less than three times. I don't have the heart to tell him", plus expresses interest in at least three different female NPCs that I can think of, while the comments about Bolgrul just feel like curiosity to me, wondering about his favorite delve and such.

I guess it's not 110% confirmed that she's into girls only, and likely won't be unless romance with companions is ever added as a feature, but I just have this feeling my Templar is pining for the wrong girl.

That's probably just because it was Jakarn. He definitly wouldn't be my first pick either.

In my opinion, "Don't have the heart to tell him" implies that's she flattered/charmed but he's barking up the wrong tree for some unexplained reason. Despite the impression High Isle might give, Jakarn is generally considered to be charming and handsome in the world of Tamriel. So, it's unsurprising Isobel thought it was cute even if she couldn't reciprocate. I think if she merely didn't like him, she'd have explained it some other way.

Yes but charming can rub people the wrong way sometimes. It definitely did with me for Jakarn. And Jakarn is more of a con artist, in that he's the "love em and leave them" type without really committing to anyone. She might have saw through to him and realized he was only after a fling and nothing more. Or maybe that she's preoccupied with someone else, and that someone else might be the player and not necessarily her friend. There's lots of explanations.

I think, ultimately, that people can be allowed to fantastize about who they wish when it comes to fictional characters. Even if it's "out of character", it's still the realm of fiction and not hurting any real people. If a person writes a fanfiction about a bisexual Isobel, it won't affect the character in the game.

Wow

Stuga, but I transfer the offer to the person posting after me

Just in case anyone thought I was trying to shut down other people's fantasy or fanfiction about a bisexual Isobel, that's totally not the case. It's just my opinion that the writers clearly intend her to be gay, which is also absolutely fine.

No no, I wasn't trying to fling accusations at you, Adriant. I was just saying, that if you wanted to see Isobel as bi and also interested in guys, then that's perfectly ok. Sorry I wasn't clear

Well, I'd like to say Gwendis or Gabrielle, but based on the quality of my past judgements Almalexia is probably the more accurate.

I wonder if Gwendis' kiss would also come with a gentle bite

The wounded daily quest giver in Murkmire has the voice of a man I would want to be at my most vulnerable with. Then he can read me Dickens each night before sleep.

It’s as though in game romances in rpgs aren’t incredibly popular or something. Not understanding multiple attempts at shaming we have in this thread.

Kudos to the character designers, writers, and voice actors who bring characters to life we want kisses from lol.

I don't understand these opinions because mankind has included romance in fiction since it very first started writing novels. What is often considered the very first fiction novel ever written - The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu - had romance in it. Why is it creepy when video games include it and players respond?

I play ESO partly to simulate having a life, purpose, etc, in a much more appealing world/universe compared to our own. Why draw the line there though, right? I want to simulate having a romantic companion and friends as well. SWTOR does romances pretty well (not enough for my tastes - you just get together and that's it) and there was marriage in Skyrim. It'd be cool to even buy these from the crown store which are like houseguest/companion (non combat) so you can take them out on dates. Maybe you can also /dance with them and also with the regular companions. Adoption or something would compliment this feature.

As someone who desperately wants to pretend that my real life doesn't suck as much as it does right now, I agree 100% with this message.

Same here . I so badly wish I could escape the real world and somehow move to Tamriel.

Jakarn comes to mind, granted I actually expect him to make that attempt someday.

I think Jakarn would be amazing. He seems like the kind to be really puzzled that your character didn't fall in love with him and felt that it was a nice kiss, but moving on now. But that's just my head canon on torturing the guy.
