Most Final Fantasy XIV players have been waiting for marriage to be implemented, and now it has. It's highly customizable, too.

Oh, I'm looking forward to the comments on this.
Well, I'm going to up the stakes and point out that they aren't going allow same sex marriages yet
My mistake I was looking at this article, which is a couple of years old, and am afraid I didn't look any further. It turns out things have moved on since then.Really? That must be really new because I can't even find anything about it.
So the actual question is what happened to marriages in singleplayer RPGs. When was the last time you saw one added (as a result of a choice)? Romances and romance choices are there, but marriages? Not. Isn't that odd?
Another little thing that's never taken off, has it? Last names? How many RPGs let you choose last names and actually make use of them independently from first names in dialogs? Not many, I guess. With online-only games the opposite is already happening (looking at you, Diablo 3) - all interaction is with your account name, not your character's name ...at the end of the ceremony changed our last name to a new one. (..)
A beautiful bride with one unforgivable fatal flaw - it's MMO.
My eq1 character got married, it was a fun event. Game didn't support it in-game, so we invited a CS Guide who attended, had fun with all the guests, and at the end of the ceremony changed our last name to a new one. There was a lot of alcohol, and some drunken races (in eq1 when you got drunk, you got DRUNK… the screen got all blurry and your character moved randomly). Now that is real roleplaying, not the cutscene flood we get nowadays.
