I could barely tell them apart. Looking at them from the neck down - could have been one pair of twins, just switching outfits.

For those unfamiliar with the game, at a certain point your character can get married. And in this fantasy realm, apparently everyone is bi-sexual, because your character's gender doesn't seem to matter. You and your spouse simply decide whose home to move to, and they stay there to cook for you, sell things, and give you a cut of the money. Since I was playing a cute little red-haired woman (who's proficient in heavy armor and twin-sword wielding), I wasn't sure what I wanted to do: marry a woman to show support for same-sex marriages, or marry a man to show support for non-traditional gender roles. Something about my character thinking, "I've had a hard day slaying dragons, and if Roggi Knot-Beard doesn't have dinner on the table when I get home, so help me it's the woodshed for him..." causes me to chuckle, even though it probably shouldn't. In the end, I went for a willowy brunette woman from the town square, not because of any sort of activism... but really because she was the only potential mate I met whom I didn't want to kill and loot on site. And really, isn't that what every marriage should be about? I had such activist conflict while playing Skyrim. For those unfamiliar with the game, at a certain point your character can get married.
