I know right? The companions got in the way at best, and with all the ass kicking you do who's got time to bother with a spouse?hazabaza1 said:

Theres another bug that shows up if you have had a follower die before a wedding, the game auto invites "friends" and people you have completed quests for. It can drag the followers corpse to the wedding and then everybody gets upset about it and blames your char.MissP said:

Ah Ysolda. Always catching me mid sprint on the way to Dragonsreach. "It's a fine day with YOU around". I always have to stop and turn around as if to say "sup baby?" then I continue on my run to the arcane enchanter.
Exactly. I chose to marry Aela. She is a true bad ass companion/wife.Macgyvercas said:
I married Jordis in Solitude. Yes she was my Housecarl, but as we travelled around together (she carrying all the heavy equipment I "found") we discovered we actually had a lot in common. We like to wander into mysterious caves, fight Dragons, raid Dwemer ruins and uncover valuable treasure. Best of all, she's not jealous of Lydia. She understands that we're just good friends and nothing more. And that's not because the game wouldn't let me marry Lydia...
Just my perverted mind speaking, but I also imagine she'd be dynamite in the sack as well.Nowhere Man said:
I liked having a merchant wife, and she seemed nice and interesting, so I picked her. Simple... really nothing to tell.
Capatcha: That's it. yes capatcha, yes indeed.

It certainly looks like it was prepared by someone special. Very special.Saviordd1 said:
Seriously though that looks worse than the most horrifyingly bad pizza I've ever had the misfortune of having to eat, and according to your link it's supposed to resemble an apple pie!
I only married her because i wanted the trophy so i could have the platinum...
It was literally the last thing i did in the game because i never actually wanted to. All the NPC's in Skyrim feel like such robots that marrying one of them seemed so pointless and artificial. I never even let my companions follow me around, only time i ever hired someone to follow me was when i needed a sacrifice for that one daedric quest
Dark Elves are solitary by nature >_>

I married Uthgerd. If I meet a woman and the very first thing I notice is she is covered in armor and wants to brawl with me, I really can't see it getting more awesome then that.
Ysolda is just some wimpy merchant girl who probably can't even lift a sword. Hardly worthy of my time.

But it allows for evil behaviors! Such as marrying and then sending them flying off a cliff! That's what I did with every single companion. Went up to High Hrothgar Courtyard and sent them flying off.Daystar Clarion said:Thishazabaza1 said:
Marriage is Skyrim is just so poorly thought out and tacked on, and I never use companions because they just get in the way
I can't remember who I married, but I did it mostly because my gf and I were curious how the character's attitude would change.
I've only married Ysolda twice. The first time was because I'd never gotten married and I had a free house in Whiterun (which I think is why most people marry her). The second time was because I was building my house in the Pale and the spouse insists on going to "the shop" everyday. I wanted to keep that distance short, plus I have a thing for redheads. However, I never once saw her go home. Then again, I'd gotten the brawling woman from the Whiterun tavern to be my steward before I got married. I should have married her instead.
The only other time I married someone was when I played a female Argonian. I got married to an Argonian miner guy who you meet in the ass-end of nowhere (I think in the area of Morthal, but I could be wrong). He and I lived "together" in Solitude. And that's how I found out that spouses go to "the shop." He was almost never home. The bastard. Then again, I wasn't either. The only ones who ever lived there were the Housecarl and the Space Core.

I never married in Skyrim, mostly because there was so little to it. You never got a chance to connect with any of the potential partners, it was just do a quest for them, wear some jewelry attend a ceremony, and them boom you're married. It may be a fake marriage in a virtual world but I feel that even a fake marriage I should feel some emotional connection to the person I'm marrying. Otherwise what's the point? There was no real reason to care about any of the marriageable NPCs from Skyrim, they're all pretty generic. At least it should have some effects in the game aside from food and money and some generic dialogue changes.
I think of any game, the Harvest Moon/ Rune Factory series does marriage the best. Those games actually got me to care about the potential partners. Marriage wasn't just tacked on, it took effort to get to know the girls and get them to like you. Marriage had real effects in the game, and was based on an emotional connection, even if just a virtual one.
I also liked Fire Emblem: Awakening's marriage mechanic, probably because the game made me care about the characters, thus shipping them was way more fun than it should have been.
It's surprising how much a well done marriage/relationship mechanic can add to a game.
In case you're curious, in Harvest Moon the girls I married were Karina [http://harvestmoon.wikia.com/wiki/Nami_%28AWL%29] in the Rune Factory series.
In Fire Emblem I married Tharja [http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Tharja]. Although in retrospect I kinda regret that decision, I'll probably do it differently next time.
