Post screens of your prospectives, your spouses, or your rejects here! (so we can all get a gander of what is out there among the eligible singles in Skyrim, lol).

The Rowan Varrus Gallery of the Rejected:

Ysolda. That was an embarrassing conversation. Rowan was just being nice, and then Ysolda got all excited about the, um, item that Rowan brought for her. Now she knows what not to ask when she's chatting with townspeople.

Wilhelm. Tempting. He has a tavern. But no.

Added: Temba Wide-Arm. I’m guessing that she has muscular arms, not that they’re open wide. What an attitude, sheesh. Thanks for the reward, lady. Now back away slowly...



He's just not into her:

Right now she’s travelling with Sven. He looks a lot less silly when he’s killing things. Too bad he already has a girlfriend.

Ysolda is the best looking of the bunch. Wilhelm looks like Corbin Bernsen. I won't ... can't say what Sven looks like he was doing before the screen was snapped.

GAAAH !!! You've added one, I'll have to go look, lol.

Maxical is about to take that list of eligible men and do "drop by" visits to see what they look like in game (and what kind of house/job they have). If it doesn't get better than that, she may pick Ysolda, lol.

These are great Grits !!! I have to see the new one though, lol.


EDIT: OMG, it's a UNIBROW !!! Where's that wretched mage from Leyawiin, I think we found him a mate !!! Imagine what the kids would look like? It would be the next species in TES VI !!!

As soon as the Creation Kit comes out, I'm going to make an NPC and do that code that makes them eligible for marriage. He will be suitably androgenous (and CLEAN!) for Maxical, ROFL !!!

I got those from the UESP, but if Rowan finds her one true love, I'll take another picture of my TV. She has such a crush on Lydia, but there's no extra dialog options for her.

Yeah, that's an unfortunate moment for Sven.

LOL, unibrow! And she's mean. I'll only put little snippets when Rowan gets their disposition up high enough for a proposal.



So far I have not seen any men clean enough for Maxical!!

I saw one clean man at the College in Winterhold. He was like a hundred years old though, white haired - in fact I think it was Professor Dumbledorf from the first Harry Potter movie. Maxical will just stay friends with him (fearing the wedding night may be too much for him) to keep the one clean man in Skyrim alive, lol. (if she can find him again, he disappeared).

I wish I could get a picture of Aela...

*Sigh*...

I have a thing for small, angry and strong red-heads... ...(Th'wife's one btw)...

So while th'wife's off with her Farkas, I'm going to go off hunting with Aela... ...

Plus, the idea of having Susan Ivanova whispering sweet nothings into my ear is pretty damned appealing... ...

Oh, there's something about a wedding dress for the ladies in the guide...She's desperate to find it before she marries her "Farkie". Anyone know anything about that?...

Cheers, she won't leake me alone!!... ...


Edit...Leake?...Leave obviously...Duh...

Here she is

I like her too, but I'm not planning on doing what's required to be with her just yet..

My brother married Orla, a Priestess(?) of the Temple of Dibella and Ysolda, of Whiterun

He did this with two different characters as you can't have more than one spouse at a time.

As for Melinoe, she is single for now since you can't marry Ralof, Brynjolf, or Sapphire. Boo!!

*Sigh*...Me likee Aela...

Thank you... ...

I'm still several quests away from starting the whole Companions questline...But still...Anticipation is half the fun... ...So I've been told... ...

I think I must be missing something. Have an amulet, did their favor but nothing's showing up in dialogue options. Do I need to talk to the priest first?

Yes, that should do it. Happy hunting.

As for Maxical, if it can't be Quaranir ... it will be no one !!! He is not on the list, but I may try putting him on it with that code!!


http://content3.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Quaranir

Hel-lo Quaranir! Rowan hasn't met him yet. Finally, an Altmer with a jaw.


A side question, are the containers in Maxical's college quarters safe? Other than from J'zargo, who likes to camp out there?

I haven't tried any of them out yet because the lady that showed me to the room said only the bed and desk were mine - and there is no desk in there.

Grits: I tried, the containers are safe in your room. I'd have lost quite a bit of stuff if they weren't.

But mALX, how are you even going to find Quaranir? There must be a reason to why he isn't on the list. I haven't seen a glimpse of him since finishing the mages quest.

Deesei married Brelyna Maryon, the dunmer who's your fellow student at the college. The only other character I really like enough to break lore for her to marry is M'aiq, but he ain't available. Sa'Quira will probably find herself a fellow thief later.

I figured the problem was with him being a Psjjic Priest that he would return to whereever the lore has put them as soon as the quest ends. I wonder if I can make a clone of him and edit its factions ... but will he still have the same voice?

What about Tsun? GAAAAH, another one that isn't actually in the game, lol. Can't go live at his house since it's in another realm.

A lot of the men are marrying Ysolda for the free house - then killing her so they can continue to enjoy it without her presence. I wonder if then they marry again can they bring the new wifey to Ysolda's former home? Lol.

Aha! Vorstag recently expressed surprise that Rowan is still single, and we know what that means.

She’s going to pass for now. He’s far too good at watching her back. He seriously will stand and watch the road behind them when she stops, unlike the flute-playing Sven. She doesn’t want him to start watching her backside instead.

Also, I’ve heard that remarrying is out, even if your spouse dies. If she married Vorstag, she’d have to send him home to cook for her and undoubtedly start carrying on with Lydia. Not going to happen!

I didn't like the way his mouth looked when he talked, ROFL !!! I noticed Bethesda gave the guys a whole raft of pretty girls to choose from, then stuck all the women with butt ugly men to marry. What was that all about?

I see me having to use the code solution in my game. I tested it out on Quaranir, he went from telling Maxical to move along to telling her there was no pleasure greater than her company - nice !!

Well, I was afraid it would mess up the quests for the College, so deleted all that and reloaded a previous save - but it was nice to know it nearly worked (he didn't ask about the "amulet of Mara" she was wearing - but it was one she found in a cave, I had not even found Riftken (spelling?) yet.

I wasn't sure if it had to be a particular amulet (or if that questline had to be started or something first) - so I traveled to that town and talked to the priest - the dialogue wouldn't come up to sell the amulet, I guess because Maxical had one in her inventory.

Is there a difference in the amulets? Or do you need to start the marriage questline before anyone responds to the amulets? (anyone know?)

Also, if you are on the PC you CAN remarry - I saw it on Youtube. You just have to type in some codes. For some reason everyone that wants to kill a wife to test out the theory is using Ysolda as the wife to kill and then marrying someone else, ROFL !!!

It's the same Amulet of Mara, you just have to talk to the priest if you already have one. (That's what happened with Rowan's game.)



I'm rooting for Rowan to marry Balimund. He has a nice forge, so he's unlikely to die out adventuring. And how can she say no to that 'stache?! Admittedly, he could use a washcloth and some soap. But hey, he's working!

Still, she says no.

The need for soap and water is a big clincher for Maxical, it would be a definate no. If the man isn't clean, he will not be crawling into the same bed with her, lol.

Cameron married Brelyna earlier, though it seems the Arch-Mage's quarters doesn't count as an 'owned home', so the couple had separate living conditions until the new Arch-Mage bought a house in Whiterun.

Yay! Congratulations to the happy couple.

Congrats to Cameron!

I think you can stay at Inns with them till you have a house, can't you?

Her default location until then was her room in the Collage, but since I had 7k I was able to get Breezehome and furnish it right off the bat. Though I can't seem to get the skill+ rest bonus from sleeping with them. Ah well, we're good without.

Was she available for marriage via vanilla game or did you "console her onto the list?"

I heard if you are a werewolf you get no special marriage bonus for sleeping with your spouse (or rest bonus). Also, if you are currently under the "Lovers Stone" effects you will not get it either. Since you now have a spouse to provide that same benefit, it is best to find another stone power to use.

She's vanilla. Cam's not a wolf (hasn't even set foot into the mead hall) and has under the Mage stone since Halgen. She can get Well Rested without a problem.

Those are the only two things I've found that keep the player from getting the "lover's comfort" perk.

I'm not too worried about it for now. She's going at a nice enough clip so far.

Well congrats on the wedding, lol.


** Does anyone know how/if the dialogue of the NPC changes after the wedding? I've heard it does, but wondered (in what way).

I found this WIKI page that lists the marriage candidates and what property they OWN prior to the marriage in case the Player does not own any property yet to bring their spouse to.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriage

For some reason Bethesda has totally outbalanced the marriage-able women with houses and businesses 8 to 2 !!! Only two men looking for marriage have owned property, but eight of the women do? What the heck is wrong with that picture?

Also, there are no male High Elves on the list. The voice actor for the Dark Elves is different than the actor for the High Elves - meaning that the High Elves will not have the special dialogues after marriage (like the Khajiit don't).

I return to my rant about the looks of the prospective spouses - the women are overall pretty to look at. The men look like they were dug up from the dregs of an active sty.

Really not happy with Bethesda's selection at all. So now, in order to marry a male NPC that is NOT on the list (one that owns property, is clean, and decent looking) - a person's only choices are the races that are on the list if they want to experience the special dialogues that come after marriage.

Does anyone know what the special dialogues (spoken) are? I saw the women calling the men "Darling" and stuff, but I'm talking about the special dialogues for the males candidates.

I heard a guy call his wife “love” or “my love,” and she called him darling. They were talking about temple business, though, so I doubt that was general marriage chat.

That stinks about the voice situation. I think some of the men on that page have houses, but there are possibly more players out there marrying female NPCs and filling in the wiki. Balimund, for example. He has a shop, I’ll have to look around and see if he has a house.

I hope that is the case. Also - I hope there is a male High Elf that has not made it onto that list too, because that would mean the voice files are there.


Here is two vids that show a guy really testing the codes out - he even married the Jarl of Whiterun!! :

So, the nasty Altmer lady in Solitude who gave Rowan a hard time about her outfit is named Taarie, she owns the store Radiant Raiment, and there is a little quest that I won’t spoil. I’m adding her to Rowan’s rejected list. The attitude on that woman!! It seems that she is the only available Altmer in the game.

Wrothken met her the other day. After I told him that she is marry-able he stared at me and asked "Who would want to?!"

ROFL !! The men are ugly and the women are mean. Bethesda gave us the option to marry while taking away any desire to, lol.

Rowan must like her men rude, rough, and dirty. At least until you get inside the wire. She’s having a tough time deciding.

What about Onmund in Winterhold? He looks pretty clean, and with his family issues there’s not a mother-in-law to contend with.


I checked out Balimund, he lives at the Scorched Hammer with his apprentice Asbjorn Fire-Tamer. I think that more of the men must have their own places than the wiki shows just yet.

Onmund is the biggest wus I've ever seen. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't done the quest, but ... it would be a blistering hot day in Skyrim before Maxical will even speak to the whiney little weasel again.

By the way - an update: Maxical got rid of the (2) Amulets of Mara she had and went to Riften and bought the correct one (just in case that quest needed to be started properly).

She cornered Quaranir in the Inn and stripped the robe off to check him out. (not bad, really). He has blonde hair, that was a surprise. He was thin, slightly muscular, and oddly enough had some dark curly chest hair!

None of the shirtless guys in Whiterun had chest hair, so that was really surprising. The whites of his eyes are yellowish green (sickle cell anemia? Jaundice? ... Hepatitis? Urk!), and he glares a lot.

So anyway, even though he had no conversation at the time she tried to "console him" into marriage. Nothing happened, (other than him telling her there was no greater pleasure than talking to her). I found out the person has to have topics and be talking or it won't work. So the next time he talks to her, watch out.


** If it doesn't work, she may try those console tricks on the Jarl of Markarth. He is clean, and likes the heck out of her after she raised his disposition in the console, ROFL !!!

I tried marrying one of those arrow-in-the-knee-taking heroes that form the fine body of Skyrim's guards. It didn't seem to work...

Maybe they took an arrow in their "knee."

Must have been quite a...

*Dons sunglasses*

Penetrating shaft.

...

...

...

I'll go home now...

Sounds more like it was a knee in their arrow...

Rowan’s game is on its knees, but she managed to finally meet Quaranir! Now I see why Maxical was torn up when he left. And surprised about the blondness. I love his voice. Maybe he’ll get tired of being a monk and get modded back to Skyrim?



Rowan and Vorstag are engaged. I only hope I can get them to the temple before her game explodes irreparably. Darn broken dragons. It was a very brief and sudden conversation standing in Whiterun in the rain. Rowan forgot she was wearing the Amulet (it looks nice with her favorite dress), so she was a little surprised when Vorstag mentioned it. She was just going to give him a bunch of freshly mixed health potions, but she ended up saying yes. I thought the dialog was quite sweet. I’ll see if I can get a picture of my TV at their wedding.

I'm going to try to "placeatme" Quaranir and console him into marriage again, see if it works this time (or if the "placeatme" even works with him). If she can't have him, Maxical plans to release the dragons in her game and turn into a dragon fighter for hire, lol.

Well, the "placeatme" acted like it worked, but no Quaranir appeared. I tried it several times and in several diff places. Maxical got several other proposals last night, the only one that was tempting was from her female housecarl in Solitude (but she ignored that one too).

Oh no! Maybe you could move the quest back or something, and make a copy of him? Sadly I have no idea how these things work.

On the other hand, a willing Jordis the Sword Maiden would be pretty hard to resist. And what about Falk Firebeard? He'd need a few hints from the console, but he looks pretty well groomed. Plus he has a good job.

Jordis the Sword Maiden was leaping on Maxical like she smelled fried chicken. She couldn't stop talking about her amulet. She is def easier on the eyes than any of the others that were fawning over her amulet - in fact one of them that was didn't have any eyes, just black circles (and was begging her for gold) - uh...yuh - No.

I'll check Falk Firebeard out next time Maxical is there - she is wanting to go back anyway to get the second Wolf Queen quest.

The Marriage thing is a little creepy sometimes...

I walk into my hard-earned Honeyside in Riften, and I guess I was awarded a housecarl without even being told so, because the first thing I hear is "Greetings, My Thane!" Which made me jump a little.

Having just come from talking to Maramal I had an Amulet, so I talked to her not realizing that I was wearing it still. So the first thing this creepy stranger in my house asks me is if I'm looking for Marriage....

Shes still waiting for me in some distant Dwemer ruin....

SPEW !!! ROFL !! You better pray she lives through it if you ever plan to marry though - I've heard these housecarls pop up at your wedding AFTER they die - their decaying corpses rolling in as a warning to your prospective bride to be what happened to the last people who got close to you. The new bride gets the message loud and clear and runs like a banshee away from you, ending the romance even quicker than it started.
