Family Matters

[Shougun]

No one is forcing you to get married and have kids. If you don't wanna do it, that's your choice, but at least have it as an option because there are probably quite a few people out there that would welcome it.

Like I said, I dont know where you are from but sex is a pretty big topic (even though its extremely normal.. lol) and if you added even a nod of sexual relations in an mmo, you'd get quite the press, SE would really have to be dedicated to the idea else they would get a lot of shit for nothing. Single player games are different because the relation is fake (person to computer, not person to person), you'd just get made fun of by some of your non-gamer friends or your wife for picking the alien in mass effect... .. :P

As well as losing some of the younger generation because their parents wouldn't want their child playing a game where they could make such choices (you can disagree with their choices but that doesn't stop what they will do). I think your statement "you dont have to do it" is quite applicable for those out of the house, but I do think SE is going to target the 13+, not the 18+.

I really do like your idea and I love rpg games that let you rp many elements logically - but for this game I think you should try to adapt it (like chocobo babies/pets, or perhaps making a family from existing 'aged (non baby)' players).
