No pregnant women in Skyrim -

[123]

The game explanation is that it's too much work for a feature that would probably be underappreciated anyway...

The lore explanation is that Skyrim is just really sparsely populated, and everybody is just really spread out. Not that many people live in the big cities. In TES lore, there are a LOT more villages and cities in Skyrim too, but because of time, space, and platform constraints, they couldn't be added. I'd expect more territory in TES 6 however.

One of the in game things that actually bothers me most is that you can skinny dip in a sea with glacier floating around in it, get out, make snow angels and not die from exposure. You don't even get as much as the sniffles.

Yes, they trade alot. Thats where the woll comes from. But you'd think they would have a sheep or two. Or when I think of it, with wolves and bears all over the place there would be no sheep left...

Maybe that is what they trade. Cyrodill trades their wool for Skyrim's Bears, Wolves, Sabre Cats, Dragons, and all other sorts of cute little animals.

This is a role playing game. Not a uber realistic simulation game. Some realism is fine but, I'm playing the Elder Scrolls, not The Sims. The game is huge enough as it is and I don't even want to imagine the tones of possible bugs that would come with coding in pregnancy or anything like that. Would you really want to wait nine months in the game for a virtual kid to be born?

And for that matter, I'm sure each race has different time periods for when a child is conceived and then born. And the chances of mer to have children is way less than humans or whatever. If a mer was to live for 500 years they may, at best, have two children. Who knows. I guess all I'm saying is that having a feature such as this isn't really logical or even thinkable in such as game as Skyrim.

And all those burned books! It's obvious when you see all the chairs and dressers that there hasn't been a recent fire... So someone had to go to the trouble of putting them there..

Did anyone know that Draugrs are not gender specified? That means a draugr can spawn with a female body and a beard.. I have yet to discover this I think.. Or perhaps I already have met one but didn't notice. You'd think you would notice a female with a beard though..

I take it you haven't been to San Francisco.

Yes, ofcourse I agree with you=) As I wrote in my post, this thread was just for fun. It would be a major challenge with a pregnancy in Skyrim, and not something that I will send as a request for Bethesda for the next DLC. That wouldn't be logical at all. And what about all the bugs it would bring! Yikes=)

True that. I was trying to act serious. I fail at serious!

I believe there is a very cool mod for this called "Frostfall". You have to dress according to the weather, or else you'll freeze to death. That is why I want a PC! To get this mod! I hope they add this to the next TES though.

Yeah, I have it. I had to fix it. Thanks though!

Another question. Since the children are all invincible, why aren't they the ones doing all the fighting?

That blacksmith's wife in Dawnstar, she's pregnant. Wait a few months, nothing... No change...

There are also no fat people in Skyrim, everyone is thin and fit.

Yes, well, with so many Vampire ambushes and Dragon attacks...who has time to sit and EAT? All that exercise they get, the Dragonborn should be charging for gym membership the workouts their presence gives every town and village in the Skyrim area.

And let's not forget that, apparently, everbody has to walk everywhere (particularly us adventurers - or at least me 'cause, every time I buy a horse, it gets killed within an hour). I like the comment about eating. Unless I'm in my own home, everytime I wait somewhere or stop, somebody is on me delivering a note, starting a conversation or trying to get me to save their sister's spindle or some such nonsense. Who has time to eat?

If you were referring to what I wrote I'm not saying I want a pregnant wife. I was just curious how all these Skyrim kids come to life. Perhaps the Stork brings them.

Or it could be Sheogorath. Think about it: You have these annoying kids (for the most part) running around in most of the towns ALWAYS wanting to play with you, not their parents, YOU (because dragonborn obviously means babysitter) they say the same three (sometimes one) line every time you walk past them, and then to add insult to injury, the little b******s won't die... Or even grow-up. So you are stuck with these turds FOREVER! The children of Skyrim are Sheogorath's trollations!

By the way I hate playing tag with these kids. The game never stops..
