    I probably played Skyrim 200 hours and it’s news to me you can marry anyone. I fail to see why I would want to in the first place.

      I did it once, on my first play through in like 2012. As I recall, everything about it is super awkward, and combined with the robotic NPC animations, it just made me feel embarrassed to be going through with it lol.

      Then it felt like every other line from her had “my husband” shoved in. It got really annoying before too long.

      Also never adopted a child in the game because Bethesda’s child NPCs are always dog shit (IMO). Actually the ones in Fallout 3 had an interesting thing going on with their commune, but they are still insufferable.

      If you marry the right person you get an extra shop to sell to, occasional free septims and a food item that makes stamina, magica, and health regen 25% faster once a day. Oh, and they constantly get in your way in whatever home you store them in.

      I guess you’re new to the concept of an “RPG”

        You being downvoted is puzzling. Romance was by far the most popular thing in baldur’s gate 3 after all, this was the best thing at the time, both skyrim and mass effect were awkward compared to today.

    This is the most “The sims player comment” on another game that I’ve ever seen.

    Seranas not even marriable

    Open the console (~), click her, and try:

    addtofaction 19809 1

    No promises how well this works with Serana; with Lydia it turned out that she has all the right voice lines for getting/being married, which is neat.

    You mean there were other marriable NPCs other than Farkas? Interesting-
    (Talking about what Skyrim spouse choices say a lot about a person…)

    I don’t remember his name, but I married the dude that was an apprentice to a potion shop owner. Can’t even remember the town cuz it’s been so long since I’ve played. He’s a good husband though
