The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Allows Same Sex Marriage

I’m not sure that it will come as a surprise to anyone who’s been playing video games in recent years, but Eurogamer is reporting that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will allow you to “marry anyone”, regardless of their race or gender. That doesn’t mean all NPCs are feeling romantic, however:

You can marry anyone in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda has confirmed.

“The subject seems like hush hush,” someone asked Bethesda marketing guru Pete Hines on Twitter.

“Not hush hush,” he replied, “just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone.”

Then, “Sorry, should clarify. Not any NPC, just mean any male or female. Doesn’t matter what you’re playing.”
