    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 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...

    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...

      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.
