Opinions on the best male to marry... I'm undecided

Post by althea »

I'm an adult female playing this, my BF IRL married Aela in the game (we play back and forth on the PS3)... I'm considering Farkas. Have any ladies here picked a guy yet? It seems like most posts on marriage are from a guys point of view. I'm not going to marry a merchant, that seems useless. I'm a Breton and I'm light armor, magic, stealth, some fighting more rogue-ish (I played one in WoW)... I'm trying to get a conversation on this going and hear some opinions before I make my decision.

As far as i can tell, every single person you marry starts a shop.

I usually go by looks, 'cause i'm a rather shallow RP'er.
Because there's no fun to be found in being normal.

Do you have to get married? I'm too busy killing dragons to be tied down. :D


Is gay marriage allowed? I wanna marry a chick. :Twisted Evil:

I'm prob going to marry Farkas... I just finished the Companions, well main quest... I still havent even used beastform... eh... I guess Farkas then... The guys in the dark Brotherhood... I don't think so... except for the married guy lol... and most of the mages are ugly elves (The elves in Oblivion were MUCH better looking in my opinion! I won't do a dark elf character now too ugly and man-ish!) Farkas has a nice voice... his brothers voice would get annoying quick... I do LOVE the funny Arnold voices though lol

*puppy dog eyes* Yes, my thane?
Yeah... I am not liking the Star-Trek-like forehead ridges on the new elves. Although I must say, the High Elves are much improved. Darkies, though... Disappointment.

My character is married to Scouts-Many-Marshes- I'd recommend marriage to him, as living within Windhelm's Argonian assemblage will aptly entertain you until you're able to secure a more viable home. My suggestion seems a bit pointless, however, as you appear to be partial to more traditional choices. I'm not even sure who Farkas is, honestly.

If I can't marry Ulfric, I don't want to get married.

Really I want to just marry Sheogorath! But I was unable to ask him... Brydolf is unavailable as well... I don't like how the argonians look (they were cute in Oblivion) ... and I feel so sorry for the poor Khajiits! I guess I will propose...

I'm playing a Dunmer, but so far I've been far too busy to think about it =) (that's her excuse anyway)
And BTW I love what they look like, I find it an improvement over both Morrowind and Oblivion, the only detail I miss was the possibility for blue skin along with black.

As for husbands, I'm going for another elf, possibly Dunmer, I'm considering the shop owner in Windhelm, but I think I should take a good look at Riften before making a decision. (I know I do want a hard-working guy, and I don't care about combat prowess cause I'm not playing with any companion)

If you want a high elf, the chief bard Viarno in Solitude is a very nice Altmer, a bit proud, but not quite as irritatingly arrogant as most of them. He is not listed as available on any guide that I found though.

Sadly, he's not listed as one of the NPCs available for marriage: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriag ... be_married

Strongly considering marrying Scouts-Many-Marshes. I've found most of the men so far of other races somewhat insufferable; there was one Khajiit that I really liked, was hoping he was marriageable but he wasn't. Honestly considered gay-marrying the girl Argonian on the docks, but that just seems too plain... two female Argonians? Nah.

Seriously though... no marriageable Khajiit in Skyrim? WHY? >:[

Even though Farkas is a bit dumb, I grew quite fond of him during the companions questline. Though I ended up having Kára marry Argis the Bulwark, your housecarl in Markarth, he is quite hunky ;).
