You cant marry Ysolda, We're already married.

[null_pointer]

I'm not sure what my wife's name was. She induced a fit of blind rage, which resulted in her demise.

My character was an enchanter, and one that liked to decorate his house with crazy daedric shit that he forged. Now, when you name an item "Touch this and Die", I believe that's a general indication that she should probably stay away. But sure enough, one day I walk into the enchanting room, and "Touch this and Die" was sitting on the floor right next to her. I can't entirely remember what happened next, but the corpse of my wife ended up bent over the enchanting table, so it looked like I was mounting the corpse every time I enchanted something. (Mannimarco, King of Worms joke anyone?)

All in all, I think it's best that I remain single in skyrim.

I genuinely thought this was a Firefly thread...

I didn't marry anyone. I didn't stay in Skyrim that long due to, to coin TB, it being the size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle.

It is possibly a step in the right direction in terms of immersion, but Bethesda don't exactly have an extensive or diverse scriptwriter.

I married Sylgja because I wanted to see if her parents would recognize the fact that I was their son in law.

They didn't...

 

[Lawnmooer]

I married Mjoll the Lioness.

She interested me, and also due to being a quest essential character was also unkillable!

Yay, for being able to carry around more things and also have someone to wield the really shiny weapons I pick up but yet are always inferior to what I currently use.

Whenever I play my character always marries Uthgerd, actually. At first it was because I felt so sorry for her. (The mass of data in a fictional world, yeah.) Have you seen where she lives? And everything else you can find out by talking to her...

Except for my first playthrough, where I had him marry...Janessa? Simply because she was the only Dark Elf I could find interested in him. She was either annoying or boring, can't remember which.

 

[C4tt4nn4]

Farkas is my main choice, because he's essentially a large teddy bear. If i had my way though, brynjolf would be my choice everytime becaus ehe is perfect.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I choose to believe my characters are making the mad monkey sex with all their female companions, huscarls and stewards.

Don't judge me, they're Player Characters.

 

[Tono Makt]

My Argonian version of myself married Jordis because she is a blonde version of Lydia. And is hot. And comes with a sweet house.

Jordis is dumb as a stump, stealthy as an Orc in heat, as able to control herself as a Khajit in a catnip field, as enthusiastic as a Dunmer on the witness stand - AND she's a hot blond?

I gots to marry that one next time I play Skyrim.

 

[Daveman]

People married people in Skyrim?
People used companions in Skyrim?

Well this is certainly news to me.

Somebody has to carry my shit. I went for a totally generic Mercenary bloke for mine, the one from the inn in Markarth. I actually got weirdly attached to him. Sort of like a pet.

 

[Auron225]

See, I'm a guy but thought I'd play as a female because why not. So when I heard about marriage I thought "huh, that's interesting. I wonder who I should have this woman marry?"

I'm not gay myself though so I was having a hard time looking at all these virtual men and deciding which is the best to marry -.- None of them left any kind of impression on me either so in the end I never bothered with it.


Had I played as a guy from the beginning, I dunno who I wouldv'e married. Probably that one Brelyna from the Mage College. She was my companion for a while and all that... the proposal would've sounded justified, right? "Hey Brelyna, you know how you came with me that one time to kill that dragon? And then that other time to clear out that cave? And I treated you like a pack mule for all of it? Good times. Wanna get hitched?"

The only characters I'd ever really consider marrying in Skyrim are the ones that can be followers. At least then it can kind of feel like your character has had some significant bonding time with that person. So the two times I've chosen to marry off my characters, I chose Mjoll the Lioness (for my honorable Khajiit warrior/ranger guy) and Farkas (for my cheerful Khajiit lady thief). I might also have my unarmed badass Khajiit (who looks like Mr. T as a cat) marry Borghak the Steel-Heart, a female orc, just so not all of my Khajiit have Nord spouses and to see how hilariously the marriage plays out. Also, since I have Hearthfire, I'm still waiting to see if Farkas (you know, the big burly warrior who is also a freaking werewolf) will actually get kidknapped by those bandits or not. That would be amusing.

 

[Jayemsal]

::Looks up Ysolda:: Beats me; looks like she's in her late 40s. Ooh...everyone in this game looks hideous & elderly compared to Oblivion. Thank gawd for mods.

compared to oblivion, really?

Oblivion is notorious for is absolutely horrendous looking character faces. Skyrim is objectively better at producing attractive faces.

 

[SweetLiquidSnake]

Would've been Erik until he disappeared. With him gone next up was my twin, Aela, took the lesbian route instead. Got 2 little redhead daughters as well lol.

My evil vampire would marry Lydia (her twin) or Serana but those options aren't there.

 

[conmag9]

I think I got married in Skyrim once. That one adventurer in Riften, with Grimsever. The creepy thing is, when she moves in with you, her friend does to. Aaron or something.

Mind you, I never got that far in my particular playthrough, as the marriage ceremony glitched out and a dead Lydia spawned with the other guests, which called the whole thing off.

The only character I think mine would like to spend time with would be Serrana, because she's quite useful, interesting to talk to, and can't be killed thanks to immortal tags. Not that I bring her along often, as it stops me from deploying my crazy AOE effects (particularly the Midas Magic stuff. My Destruction can level anything if need be, so I've started playing with other magic stuff for fun. The physics engine has made me laugh far more times than is normal). Though I still craft custom armor and enchantments for my favorites, just to be nice. I love making custom pieces out of human souls with the Black Star, choosing enchantments that matched their personality. Especially the Dark Brotherhood targets. Or sometimes I just target people I don't like, kill them, soul trap them, forge them into items and drop them into places they'll never escape from. Mr. Silver Blood is a ring now, Grella the Kind was made into a pressent for that one kid who ran away from her orphanage, and I've got my eye on Nasir "Do you get up to the cloud district very often?" the Whiterun Asshole once I manage to set up his murder just so.

And I've drifted off topic. Anyway, I hate romance quests in just about every game, so it's not important to me.

I usually marry Jordis the Swordmaiden. She's the Solitude Housecarl. She has a nice voice that doesn't sound really annoyed at the prospect of helping you carry stuff (looking at you, Lydia) and since she wears heavy armor, I just outfit her with Daedric stuff and she essentially can't die. Nice to have a mobile store with you too if you ever run short on cash. Also, she's not bad looking, for a Skyrim NPC.

 

[Rob Robson]

Seriously, why do we all marry Ysolda? I always liked her because she's ambitious, friendly, and helpful. She has dreams and she chases them.

Why does everyone pick her tho?

(If you dont pick her, who do you usually marry?)

I have eyes only for Sylgja. Simply because without face mods, she's the only one marginally attractive. In addition to that, I like her village and her quirky mining background.

 

[chiggerwood]

People married people in Skyrim?
People used companions in Skyrim?

Well this is certainly news to me.

Well both do have their uses.Spouses give you 100 Septims a day, and can be useful for money, even though it's super easy to get rich in Skyrim, and companions step on pressure plates and have a fucking spike wall hit you in the face so that you die, so they're really useful if you're suicidal. See they have uses

 

[Aesir23]

My character married Shahvee. I swear she is quite literally the only eligible Argonian female in that game. Admittedly that annoyed me a bit since I don't even really like Shahvee that much but even if I don't do that in depth roleplaying that some people do with Skyrim, I didn't see my character as marrying anyone else but another Argonian.

 

[Agayek]

This

Marriage is Skyrim is just so poorly thought out and tacked on, and I never use companions because they just get in the way

Gonna second this on the marriage bit.

The other one, not so much. Companions make fantastic loot mules and make it so much easier to rip every single thing worth anything out of a dungeon.

...Or so I thought. Then I used Storm Call in a dragon fight immediately after coming out of a Dwemer ruin northeast of Whiterun and Lydia died and I had to schlep it all on foot back to town.
