    My idea Is making family in starbound
    1. Find girl at some planet
    2. Give for her diamond
    3. Marriage
    4. ...<not for kids>
    5. Children
    And wife can give for us some food and somethink else
    Children can grow for to men/woman

    Son can help like guard
    daughter can heal

    This has been suggested several times. I am personally against the player forming intimate relationships with other NPCs (I want to play a space adventure game, not a dating simulator), but I'm all for NPCs marrying each other and having families.

    I dislike this idea. This, as Boxtop said, isn't a dating simulator, but a space adventure game.
    If it is (for whatever oddball reason) implemented, I'll spend my time being a space badass, not a family man.

    (Oh, and Boxtop, welcome to the forums! :D)

    Edit: And gender roles? Really?

    If it works, it can happen c:

    Just because (if implemented) it has that, doesn't means you should use it.

    I like the idea, adds to the role-playing.

    It may add to role-playing, but it adds nothing to gameplay. I also think it would be irritating to be forced to escort/meet the demands of your family while you should be doing something else, or trying to do something else.

    This game is a sci-fi themed space exploration/combat game first and foremost, not The Sims.

    True, but this game also has building in it, that does not make it a construction sim. It will also have a colony system, but that does not make it simcity.
    Marriage/Relationships will only add to the game, not take anything away. If you choose to get married, then do, but if you dont, then dont.
    And it does add to gameplay. This 'Fable feature" can open up allot more mechanics.

    Let me elaborate:
    You can choose to take your family adventuring with you, but this puts them in harms way, fear of getting them killed will most likely result in leaving them on a planet, which they will be safe, but will miss you if you leave them. So you abandon them for awhile, and come back to see that your wife/husband has moved on. What do you do? Kill them in anger? Try to win them back? Or leave them be? So dont tell me it adds nothing to gameplay.

    Can you please write in a different color like light blue or just plain regular? for one it makes my eyes hurt just looking at it, and it makes my brain think there was an update to the 'Announced Game Information'.

    Not fond of the dating idea. but if it was implanted i'd like same gender marriages

    Like Boxtop and deman I dislike the idea of marrying myself, however having a little civilization or empire develop around your person would be awesome.

    I do agree with Dawn on the point that - this does not take away from the game and would only add another layer if it was implemented. Point in fact, you can get married in Skyrim, is that now a dating sim? Frack no, it's a bad ass dragon slayer sim.

    However, what bad ass didn't rescue a cute girl at one point ;) missions anyone? I'm sure there will be a "reward".
