what this means is some of these couples/chars may be seeking children, but what's unfortunate for them is they will not be able to do so without a quest. meanwhile a hetero couple will have absolutely no trouble whatsoever in reproducing.
i get that that's the "natural" way and all that jazz, but this is a magical world with flying magic wielding horses. i'm sure that somehow same sex couples can produce offspring without having to go on a quest from a god. it could easily be replaced by just accepting it and allowing same sex couples to magically reproduce, which isn't much of a stretch. but if not, perhaps a prize that just grants them the ability temporarily. i just thought i'd bring this up.
