I'm playing Fallout 3 now and I found out you can sleep with Nova but the relationship cannot develop further (she's basically a prostitute)

I also met a character named Sydney who is a relic hunter but the temporary partnership does not develop further. I liked her so much I made sure she would be okay by escorting her back to safety to that Ghoul Town where she becomes a weapon's dealer.

I think it would be neat if future computer games allow the "relationship" to develop further so you can "marry" and "have children" with these characters. What do you think?

I tried to hire nova, she just went upstairs and laid down. I sobbed.

How about a real relationship? But I guess it could make the game play a little more interesting.

You can find love in any of those Japanese dating sims, although don't come crying to me if they suddenly sprout dicks halfway through intercourse and fuck you in the ass. :eek:

1. Both Fable games offer what you want, though the relationships are completely arbitrary.

2. There are mods now for Fallout 3 to do what you want. Most also make your companion walk around naked. There's a mod to get radioactive herpes from Nova too.
