    Eh. There are gay marriages during this time and even in the game itself, so I don't see why not.

    But at the same time, why even bother on something that's always been such a complete waste of time in this game? I've never really looked into it, but does the in-game marriage hold any special benefits or questlines?

    You get more Exp with you are group and married, so some people use it to level alts faster, and to grind CP.

    A small exp buff when grouped with spouse with the ring of mara on is the only benefit as far as im aware. Would be nice to be able to share properties and some bound gear or something though

    Who cares what two people decide to do together . Non issue . The real question is why can't we just be married to ourselves like that basketball player and getting XP boosted .

    Marriage has always seemed a bit cavalier in the Elder Scrolls universe.

    But just to be clear on what you're asking...

    You're asking should fictional characters of a made-up sex and race be allowed to pretend to be married in a completely illusionary world... right?

    Yes. Marriage has always been without gender restrictions in TES games. Always. It's a non issue, as it should be.

    Well, considering there's quite a few characters in-game who are homosexual, and have spouses of the same gender, I think I know what the answer is already. Also, based on several experiences from lore, and the games, the races of Tamriel don't see sexuality in the same light that we do. They literally have far more problems to worry about.

    Lmao, what "joke"? The topic title is a straightforward question, there's nothing in the OP, and the poll options are "yes and no." Not sure how else you expect people to respond to a straightforward question other than with a straightforward answer. That's like asking for someone's name and then saying it's a joke.

    Again, there's no joke. Where is the punchline? Where is the satire? There's a difference between joking and not being serious. And even in the case of the latter, nobody would get that from your topic. So to his point, it was in no way "obvious." Being aware of an underlying factor does not inherently make it obvious.

    seeing as this is a game, why not?
    everything should be possible in video games, we are shooting lasers from our hands and wielding swords bigger than us, so 2 persons of same sex should find no problems in getting married
    ofc, in a game
