Marriage in oort!

Although it would be cool, if you got a married character couple in Oort, which walks by you char, and everywhere they go, roses seem to pop out of nowhere.

@Bokke I did that in Skyrim, then she died.

Sounds tragic :disappointed_relieved:
Sounds like a severe balancing problem :wink:

I got lost in Skyrim - it is the game on Steam I played most by far (170!!! hours) - and I’m not even half through.
I didn’t even know I played it so much, and when I found out, I was kinda shocked.

That is a good point but I feel adding a mechanic for it generally helps to make it seem more right in the game.

Turns out it was my fault. I stepped on a button/trap floor and she was burned alive… It was indeed… Uber tragic…

Well I’m not suggesting it was on purpose :grimacing:

HOOLIGAN! I call shenanigans! OFFICER! This man is accusing me of murdering my wife after conveniently establishing her life insurance!

:joy:

Would be a nice idea, to have marriage in Oort and some benefit-stats that go along with it.
Like tax sort of things. ALSO - just an idea, I wouldn’t wanna have OOrt as overly complex as EVE-Online, but it’s sort of mind-sizzling to play with such ideas :slight_smile:

If this gets implemented, I’m gonna have a good laugh when griefers start proposing :smiley:

WOAH!!! Awesomeeeee :joy:
The ā€œPragmatic Marriage Overlord Projectā€

Like set up a group of people, overrun a hostile village, marry all chars of the opposite ā– ā– ā–  there, and leave with them. Sort of a character-griefing system.

I am against any benefits gained from marriage because that would mean people would marry just to gain said benefit.

Griefers would be anoying anyway spamming the chat and such.

Odear - what’s the problem with it??
If the game has enough other in, in your eyes more sensible benefit stats, this would be just another welcome sort of adding boni to a char. Or two chars.
And you will always have pragmatic, professional players on MMO’s, who undermine a casual way of playing. Be it whatever playstyle as there may be.

See, now I want Oort space travel…

Instead of calling it marriage just call it spirit binding or something ritual sounding, that way no one can complain about straight or not, and you can just bind to your best friend or sibling if you don’t have a significant other without feeling awkward about it.

Maybe soulmating or sth in this? Sounds not appropriate though. The term ā€œbindingā€ is also not so apt for bonds between chars, creatures or people in general. I relate it more to objects.

But if we wait to 1.0 we are first going to agree on anything at 2.0 :slight_smile:

Sure! A manieristic option of a game should not be excluded. World of Warcraft took (attention - rough guess) ten(!) years to be a good game.
