    No. Completely unneeded, non-functional and not in line with the rest of the game. Basically only useful for hardcore role playing, which is so niched that developer time is better spent elsewhere. Not to mention goddamn unkillable children. - my two cents

    I for one like the idea if done right. It doesn't need to hold the game back but be an update later. Plus it would get other ppl who would normally not play the game actually play it and enjoy it. Example? My wife, we get married in ever game we can and she didn't like terraria not because of the game but because she's not used to using the keyboard to move around. If marriage was in the game she probably would of bought her own copy and played it with me a lot more than a few hours.

    Considering this game is as big as it is already I don't see it being a problem or time consuming to stick it in the game at a later date. Like I said it would get other ppl like girlfriends/boyfriends or husbands/wifes to play with their partner. Now the having children thing I don't really see or care for having in the game. I have one in real life and I'd prefer not to have to take care of one in game.

    Why because they are a unisex race? Well there is a "male/female" option and even if they don't reproduce like others doesn't mean they can't care about another Floran. If anyone is uncompatible with this idea it would be Robots.

    I hate children.
    Anyways, I also see this as being kind of pointless when it comes to single player, I mean it's a lot of work for the Devs, along with the fact that it would require new mechanics and the like.
    I also find it strange that the kids can't die, yet your spouse can? Everything will die eventually, it wouldn't make sense if part of your world got airstriked and a little baby just casually crawls out.
    And my last point would be that it's kinda hard to get attached to about 40 pixels, and not to mention that the Devs would need to add a ton of text and features just for your spouse, and then for homosexuals you need an adoption system and.... geez.

    I don't really like this idea. BUT!!! same gender or different races could have children by splicing DNA together. my two cents.

    I don't think Starbound needs marriage or babies. It would be a bit strange and would remind alot of us of The Sims or Dating sims. Which I would rather stay away from. If I want to have virtual kids. I'll re-install the sims or Virtual Villagers.

    Shame that you can't run around killing aliens in the sims or Virtual Villagers.

    Lol this is true unless you have the sims 2 installed and you light a house on fire with aliens in it

    Other games besides Dating Sims and The Sims have marriage and I doubt its hard to put in the game. Kids on the other hand I'd rather not see but others might. I was married in a few MMO's and the only way to tell was either a last name or a ring. So it wouldn't be a hard thing to do and if anything it will add to the game not take away.

    olny if i get to run around as a prego lady with a rocket lancher

    also gay marriage ftw, that stuffs hott
     
  18. Tell me again about how universally wrong gay marriage is, that they don't deserve to live.
    Also, tell me about that one story wherein they are threatening the lives of straight people.

    No? that's right, get your worldly views out of here

    Let's talk about babies and powerthirst and all that things you do after marriage instead
     
  19. You're allowed your opinion, but I'd prefer you not to alienate a portion of our community (and development team) by saying they don't deserve to exist.

    I'd also prefer for everyone not to turn this into an off-topic discussion about marriage equality. This is an ingame suggestion thread. Real-world opinions aren't really relevant.
