Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to play some games where you can fall in love. Or, you know, any day. Any day’s good for that, too! Here are the best games where your character can get married that we could think of.
Harvest Moon
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
For all of us who are forever alone on this day, here are eight games where your character can get married. We are excluding games where the sole objective of the game is dating.
Sorry dating sim fans, those will not make the list, but we do have some cool dating lists too. Examples: Best dating games, best dating sims, & a feature about why dating games are so popular.
The Harvest Moon series has been known for dating and marriage just as much as it is known for farm simulation.
The Harvest Moon series has you take on the role of a newcomer that has just come into town and is new to farm life.
As you adjust to life in this small town, you meet a few eligible bachelors or bachelorettes that your character can get married to.
If you are successful in courting your love, then eventually the two of you will get married and you can whisk them away to your farmhouse and even have a child together.
Final Fantasy XIV
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
Final Fantasy XIV, the MMORPG installment to the Final Fantasy series, is a game where your character can get married… sort of.
It does not have a marriage system, but instead a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding. Like western marriages, there is a ceremony that takes place in front of invited guests and there is an exchanging of rings.
The rings you and your partner exchange are called Eternity Rings, which allows you to teleport directly next to your partner with only a 30 minute cooldown. How romantic.
Skyrim
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
Bethesda’s open world RPG Skyrim takes the hero on an epic quest to defeat Alduin and save the world.
If you manage to find some free time for love in between your noble quest to slay the dragon, then your character can get married.
Finding a life partner in Skyrim has its benefits. After marriage, you get a new house for you and your loved one to live in and your spouse will give you 100 gold a day and a meal if you ask.
Plus, don’t forget about the “Lover’s Comfort” bonus.
Tomodachi Life
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
Tomodachi Life is the 3Ds title that centers around an island filled with Miis. The more Miis that join the island, the more interactions occur between them. Some Miis have friendships but other Miis will not like each other.
Some Miis will even fall in love, and that means your character can get married.
Marriage in Tomodachi Life is not without its benefits as married couples get a shared house.
The couple can even have a child together, who in turn can one day marry as well. Love is everywhere in Tomodachi Life.
Fire Emblem
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
Fire Emblem Fates and Awakening both have a systems where your character can get married.
The marriage system in both games are similar in the way that pairs can only marry after the relationship status of the couple is optimal.
Marrying off your character is optional, but without marriage, there will not be any children for you to potentially add to your army.
On top of that, there are a few Paralogues that cannot be accessed to you without children. That makes falling in love pretty much mandatory.
Fable
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
The action RPG Fable has always supported love and marriage throughout their games.
Your character can get married to almost all minor NPCs in the games. As long as you have a marital home and a ring, then a marriage can be yours.
However, you must keep your spouse happy. If you don’t take occasional breaks from your noble quest to visit your spouse, they may become unhappy and leave you.
Make sure that you keep them happy and buy the gifts so they stay happy. Marriage is hard work.
Stardew Valley
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
Stardew Valley is the other farm simulation game on this list, and it’s also a game where your character can get married as well.
After all, farming does not go well with the single life.
There are fourteen marriage candidates to choose from (after the 1.1 patch) since same-sex marriage is possible.
After getting married, it is important to keep your spouse happy as a happy spouse will help out around the farm and do some cooking.
The Sims
Games Where Your Character Can Get Married
The Sims is a game that is more or less about life simulation, so obviously your character can get married. Sims can enter a marriage after one sim proposes.
If the Sim accepts the proposal, then a wedding party can be planned or the wedding can be a private affair.
Regardless of what kind of ceremony you have, the marriage is for life or divorce.
Divorce can occur if their relationship points fall low enough, but some actions such as having an affair can make a huge chunk of relationship points drop instantly.
Make sure you always take care of your Sim’s significant other, or just be careful with your affairs.
That does it for all these great games where your character can get married or get into a relationship! Are we missing any? Let us know down below.
