Would mating be considered a traditional part of their society where it would occur at specific times of the year/when females reach a certain age or would it be a more voluntary thing? I liked the point that someone made about nuhns simply being attractive to females and they(females) choose to mate with them rather being obliged to.
Anyways, my concern is rather simple. I want to know if age would be a factor in the seeker tradition. For example, if we're to assume that females do return to mate with the nuhn at a certain age then I'd want to avoid having my character too close to that age because, as with most of us, we want our characters to explore and have many experiences rather than being tied down to societal obligations like that.
I'd rather not just ignore the lore or whatever people may generally assume about the race so that is why I am curious to know.
Once again I am sorry if this has already been covered but the topic was quite large and delved into areas that I wasn't exactly curious about.
There isn't a lot to go on from what I've seen. I had mentioned in an earlier post about some NPC banter I had seen in a Miqo'te village that possibly hinted at a few things such as the Nunh and a female having to plan their interactions in advance. Also thinking on it a bit more it may also suggest that there would be little to no recreational sex involving the Nunh and that the focus of the Couplings, as the NPCs put it, is to simply try to produce offspring.
As for what age a female enters sexual maturity or if there is an obligation to have a child or not I can only speculate. Using that village as an example again the women there are great hunters so it wouldn't surprise me if some of them chose when they wanted to try for children instead of having an obligation to do so.
Again just my thoughts on some observations I've made while in the beta.
