Looking to retire. Who's the best wife?

Post by WillieMakeit »

I've been roaming around Skyrim for a while now but never "took that arrow to the knee". I'm playing a neutral good Dragonborn character and I'm really wanting to settle down. Anyway, here's a few requirements,

Female

Morality 0

Pretty good looking, but doesn't have to be smoking hot.

Race doesn't matter.

For future reference the uesp website has a search feature..

Anyway, here is a list of npcs with a morality of 0(NPC is willing to commit any requested crime): http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Skyrim-Any_Crime
and here is a list of marriageable npcs: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriage

Note all the housecarls are on this list, as well as a few that don't make much sense(Mjoll is the most illogical but there it is)

I like Ysolda. She's an aspiring merchant so she could bring in some income and helping out could give your dragonborn some fun things to do in retirement, especially since however you played the game you know like every influential person in the country and are owed a mountain of favors you could cash in to help her out. I'd say she's also rather pretty as well. Only problem is she is on the exact opposite of the morality scale from where you want, well nobody is perfect. But if the criminal mentality is that important I suggest either Sylgja or Temba wide arm
I would be a procrastinator, but I keep putting it off.

Mjoll is always Essential, making her immortal. And, as counter-intuitive as it is, her Morality supports "Any Crime". Seems like a great combination.

Anyone here who retired and regretted it? My character's not getting a wife anytime soon. He's too much of an adventurer for that. Got too much energy in him still. :P
But for gods - for me - there is no more feeling. Only knowing.

I'm not sure what you mean by retire. I married at level 90 but there is still lots to do. On some future play through, I might marry even earlier, now that I have a feeling for which person I would want, already. The reason is that I've already been through the thought process of who I wanted to marry, and marrying earlier actually helps with some bit of coin in the early stages.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with Lydia. I just felt bad that she was so miserable being a housecarl, so I figured marrying her would be for the best. She could have her freedom then.

bluegayle, I don't think he meant "retire" in any actual way that affects the gameplay... but a married Dragonborn? Not so epic. At least that's how I see the word "retire". :P
