To be or not to be

[Rebelkitten]

I love the whole 'pregnancy' shtick, but one point depresses me to think about. What if you have a husband in a certain town that allows magic, your eight months pregnant, you accidently kill someone, and then your husband divorces you..... How sad. :'(
Also, instead of going out, and fighting monsters while pregnant - though the having your water break while fighting Twinblade, and the body slam the ground and shoot the baby at enemies ideas would have me laughing for hours if it could happen - you will have to stay at home, or go and work your job instead of having the looming threat of having your child in the middle of the Arena.

Zomg! Rock Troll! -chucks baby-

I think being pregnant in the game would add a whole new demension to the game like haveing the good/evil bar and put in a second bar for something like bad parent/good parent or bad spouse/good spouse wich would also efect how people in the town where you live like you and if they avoid you or not and could also prevent you from devolping another relationship/marrage with someone after you killed your spouse or got divorced because they would know about you and what you had done

Can I remind everyone that this is a thread about whether people think its a good idea to have pregnancy etc. in the game. It is not a thread to discuss a possible abuse system in the game. Further, I do not feel that discussion condoning abuse towards women or children, even if in a video game, is appropriate on this site. Therefore I have deleted the posts concerned and request that it gets back on topic.

Thank you.

I personally would like having children, that would add a more in-depth view of end game playability

Yeah, I don't like it, but I was thinking, why not just have the pregnancy and birth like fable 1's marriage, "Then the Hero's wife got pregnant, the hero tended to her blah blah blah, a baby was born!"

Hitting your wife, should be like any other crime in the game, hitting the child/infant should make you an auto-criminal in that region. And the child gets taken away by Bowerstone Social Services, etc etc..

Very good idea, especially the second paragraph. At least this will provide the game with serious repercussions if you (the main character) abuse your family.

as i hav not been playing fable for long but i hav seen there do happen to be jump scenes in which you can change in apperence also many years can pass to so i presume if you do happen to get or get someone pregnent (i wonder how) you could hav like a nine month time laps all though there would hav to be a limit to how many times u can do this i mean how will they replicate the condom factor in this is what i want to know

I would totally be some prego heroine just to see what happens and what it would be like with all the mood swings if there are any but yea it would be an interesting experience indeed so I would vote yes.

ok well theres no stupid questions but that comes very colse to being one... i would prusumbe no because that would involve the hero or wife having periods and that would be just a bit to real for me

[rickemosh]

i think that if you want to then do it if you dont then dont do it but i think that being pregnant would be cool but i dnt tihnk they would be allowed to show a woman with child getting beaten up
