Q: One other thing that has been a source of debate on our site and other places, is…there are some role-playing games being made right now where the developers are trying to make things all very realistic, and one of the key points of contention with Morrowind, is there is one game where they are trying to create a believable romance. In Morrowind you can make someone fall in love with you, but you can't court, marry and have kids. Is this something you considered, or…?

A: Eventually yeah, I think the goal of The Elder Scrolls is to provide the ultimate fantasy universe. So again, anything in the stars you can think of. So in The Elder Scrolls 11, maybe you can have kids and then play as one of them, I don't know. Right now that's not…the only reason we'd do it is if it were part of the story. But a lot of our stuff is we want to keep it open…we'd build a system for that.
