*Nods* This is true, they did say that they will take care of you....even in death!!!! Muahahah

But anyway, I'm still wondering on who I should marry Gilliam to, it's either Calder,Scouts, Filnjar, or Balimund. Gilliam has no problem crawling into bed with a dirty man*giggle*, so soap is not a requirement.

Also wondering on who IC me should marry , there are so many hot men out there D:

How can he say no to Balimund?! Apart from the dirt, of course. Scouts is certainly the cleanest of the bunch. How does Gilliam feel about Argonian cooking?




Oh wait, Gilliam has NO problem with the dirt, I read that wrong. Oops.

He does like his men dirty , and he has no problem with Argonian cooking, he prefers Khajiit and Dunmer though, since his parents were a Khajiit and a Dunmer

It is hard to say no to Balimund, but I already tested it out, Filnjar is way more romantic than Balimund hahaha.

Hmmm decisions decisions.

Dear gods, when I heard him described as "Old One-Eye..." I didn't know they were talking about his face!!




My vote has to go with Scouts - who could resist that smiling face? Even with just one eye, a man wants to see something good when he looks through it. Also, Scouts's personality seems to be a lot of fun - much better than a glaring, gripey partner. (plus, he may be bald, but he is green so it doesn't show as much as it does on Filmyjar).

A Khajiit and a Dunmer? That's an interesting upbringing to say the least!


Be sure to let us know what he decides on!

Here's a Skyrim wedding story.

Rowan and Vorstag made the trek to Riften to get hitched, making a long detour around the broken dragon over Mistwatch that always kills the game. Vorstag hounded her the entire way.

Vorstag: You should go make the arrangements for our wedding right away. I can’t wait.

Rowan: (wiping the blood from her sword) Good gods, man, where do you think we’re going? Oh, and here’s another bear pelt for you to carry.

When they got to the temple, the priest took one look at Rowan and asked if she was feeling sick. Yep, she picked up something gross from a critter. One quick blessing at the altar, and the feverish bride was now merely blushing.

Before he would arrange the ceremony, Maramal offered the couple some pre-marital counseling. Some of the questions gave Vorstag crazy eyes.

Rowan: Have we been doing what?!

Vorstag: Can I kill ‘im?

Rowan planned for them to spend the night at the Bee and Barb, but when they got there Vorstag took off. He said he would see his bride at their wedding. Oh, and could he borrow some of her war paint.

The next morning Rowan dressed carefully and headed over to the temple. There she found Vorstag looking hot in his original armor instead of the shiny stuff that she spent so many hours making for him. It reminded her of all the good times they’ve had, all the way back to their very first meeting.

Unfortunately her reminiscences took longer than the ceremony. I don’t have a picture of it, because Vorstag bolted out the door right after they said their vows. Rowan had to chase him down to find out where they would be living. Maybe it’s a Nord thing. If you can’t catch him, you don’t get to keep him.

Anyway, I did get one picture of the bride before the race started. Here she’s saying, “Vorstag, WTF?!” to her man’s fleeing back.

She had to run all the way from Riften to Markarth for her Lover's Comfort, and she got arrested the second she walked up to the gate. But that’s another story.

I'll say my congrats to Rowan on her marriage, but if you ask me - Vorstag is the one getting a good deal, lol.

What is with the bulldog jaws on all these Nord men? They all look like they have a huge underbite. Maxical said ... well, never mind.

I agree with KC, that was more of a wedding fiasco, lol. The only thing it lacked was dead friends showing up (or hired thugs, lol).

So Vorstag suddenly becomes difficult when the wedding is imminent, huh? Good to know for future reference, ROFL !!

Now, now Rowan, you're not supposed to get your Comfort in the middle of the street.

Vorstag: "Guards, quick! This woman's been chasing me since Riften! Arrest her!"

Guards: "Looks like we've got us a stalker, grab her men!"

Rowan: "Huh? Wha...hey! Stop! This is my wedding niiii..." (later) "All I wanted was a little comfort..."

Rowan and Vorstag are enjoying wedded bliss, for the most part. It is a little sad when Rowan comes home to find her burly death machine parked in a chair. “Hello, my love,” he says wistfully. “Back from one of your many adventures?”

So then she gives him a little something to do, like fix her dinner.

“This is fresh,” he says. “I’ll have another one ready tomorrow.”

Uh, ‘fresh’? Is that anything like your definition of ‘clean’?

If he’s going to keep cooking, Rowan needs to get a dog.

Well at least he did finally settle down and accept that he was married. That sprint from Riften had me worried, lol.

I was looking at the voice actors for the game and noticed on the marriageable list that a select few had their own particular voice actor instead of one of those generic voice actors for the whole race. Farkas was one of these few. Since he was designed to be marriageable, I was hoping he may have some special dialogue options after marriage. He may not, but even if he has the same lines he may do a less wooden job of saying them. One can hope anyway, lol. Anyway, Maxical is going to test it out and see if she can get the marriage option from him via console before the quest completes. (otherwise she will have to wait till she finishes two other things and then will get over there and do the companions questline).

His filthiness, greasy hair, and huge black circles around his eyes are more of a turn-off than the wolf beast side of him - but his personality is very nice and he is Awesome to dungeon crawl with. I did download a mod that cleans Farkas and Vilkus up - will install it before the wedding and see if it helps the "wet dog" smell to go away, lol.

Oh, please post some screens of the cleaned up twins! That's interesting about the dialog, I never would have thought of that.

Good luck to Maxical!

Here are the brothers:

Ohhh... MUCH nicer! I just might have a girl who marries a guy in Skyrim after all.

Oh, DAMN!!


I'll be in my bunk.

Looks like at Maxical's insistence they both got cleaned up!

I can't understand why Bethesda insists on giving us characters that look grotesque when the modding community has proven repeatedly that we want something visually attractive. Yes it is a fantasy game, but who's fantasy is to bed filthy greasy bear-types (or wrinkled green ants/hornets with clothing on) - or woman who glare perpetually, talk like a man, and want to beat you down to see if you are "man enough" to wed them? (Certainly not Maxical's, lol).


Going on just personality alone - only three men (that she has met so far) were likable enough for marriage: the Smithy in Riften, Farkas, and the Jarl of Whiterun.

The sweetest women (so far that she has met) were Ilisif the Fair (Awesome), and Adrienne (the Smithy in Whiterun) - but Adrienne can be moody at times. Neither are on the mariageable list, but a few console keys can fix that.

There is also a mod that helps the spouse take off their dirty bloody armor before crawling into bed beside your character. They will be in their diapers/bikinis (or not) at your discretion. So far they do not have one that changes them into their pajamas yet.

That would be great. I wonder how much longer the pajama mod will take than the naked one.


Rowan got fed up with Lydia’s front row seat in the Breezehome marital bedchamber, so she finally figured out how to buy the house in Solitude. She will NOT be accepting the honor of Thane just yet to avoid a repeat housecarl situation. Pretty soon she and Vorstag will head out on their honeymoon trip, hauling 25 pounds of reading material up a mountain.

On the next road trip I'm going to study how Vorstag's 'shop' works. It looks like Rowan can sell him their loot as they go, which would be great. Not so great if the stuff she gives him to carry has to be bought back from him, or if he buys her loot and then has too much weight to carry the loot he hasn't bought yet.

You may want to hold off selling to him, because you don't gain money from your spouse from what I've heard. You have to buy from him, but he doesn't have to pay for what you sell to him. Talk about a rip !!!

He will give you 100 per day if you ask him "how's business going."

Vorstag's Mobile Shop of Trinkets and Treasures is not a success. Rowan asked what he has for sale, and it's all of the awesome stuff she has been giving him to use!! He'd better not sell his ebony axe to some stranger, or there will be hell to pay when his wife finds out. Also he has zero gold for purchasing. She is going to have to keep him as a follower so she can keep track of his stuff!! I hope he's extra comforting until she gets over this.

ROFL !!!

So I thought you had to sleep at home to get that extra 5% from your spouse. Well. The newlyweds Rowan and Vorstag stopped for the night on their way up to the Throat of the World, and in the morning they were busted by that little message on the screen: You awaken feeling your Lover’s Comfort.

Rowan:

Vorstag:

Grits:

Apparently you can be anywhere with your spouse including a room on the ground floor of a crowded tavern that doesn’t even have a door. Or maybe Vorstag is just an overachiever.

Go Vorstag !!!

Lol, I could use a few sips myself right now.

Lol, I could use a few sips myself right now.

I'll have to admit, I prefer them all dirty and stuff They kinda creeped me out all clean and stuff o.O

I didn't make the mod, just downloaded it - but so glad I did too. Makes a whole different feel to a dungeon crawl with the two of them, lol.

It's fine and all, but the thing that bothers me is that they ripped out their skin! xD
Since both of the brothers have the second complexion option and in the mod they have the first one

Either way, time to start taking pictures of my characters! Hahah xD
Hmm, Godfrey(my Nord Riften Guard) married Balimund, but of course RP wise they have been together since forever!

Lol, that may have been just the layer of dirt removed. It says on it that they "cleaned them up," lol.

What I wouldn't give for a good gaming PC so I could play w mods again OMG! They've come a looooong way since I've modded w Morrowind and lol Daggerfall!!! Stuck w PS3 for now wah wah!!! I'd crawl w those two like all freakin night and never leave!!!! Don't suppose u have a cleaned up pic of Calder??? Im still trying to figure out who my character may wanna hook up w and heard he is marriageable on PS3?? I am torn between the bros too lol! Although just started playing last week so who knows right?!!?

Oh, Balimund is so nice! I saw a mod that cleans him up too, and was about to DL it when I saw the one for Farkas and Vilkus.

There is a mod that cleans up Calder on the Nexus, but it just gives him a bath. He really didn't look any different in it hardly at all, it was very hard to see anything had been done at all.

Congratulations to the happy couple!!

Yes, congrats on the marriage !!!

The Housecarl has moved into Proudspire Manor with Rowan and Vorstag. Given the amount of fooling around that goes on in some Skyrim marriages, I was against the whole idea. Here's my coversation with Rowan on the subject:


Grits: Rowan, I try to stay out of your business, but do you really think it’s a good idea to leave them all alone here, day after day? I mean, “Sword-Maiden”? Come on.

Rowan: Look at her.

(Jordis stands tall with her shoulders back, aglow with strength and beauty. Her eyes scan the room for any hint of danger. Marauding dust bunnies? Who knows. But nothing will escape her glacial gaze, and never will she relax her vigil. When her eyes land on Rowan, her armored chest lifts with pride.)

Jordis the Sword-Maiden: It is an honor to serve you, my Thane.

Grits: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I mean she’s blonde, busty, legs up to here, she’s a Nord for crying out loud. Plus she’s way younger than you, and—

Rowan: Now look at him.

(Vorstag slouches in a chair, head back and eyes glazed over. One hand quests in the far reaches of his jaw for gods-know what between his teeth while the other taps out a rhythm on his hairy knee.

Grits:

Rowan: (sighs with utter devotion) That’s my man.

BOLD: Boy, I really thought that sentence was going to end a whole lot differently. I like Jordis, but you have a point about her name, lol.

Have you found some promiscuity amongst the marrieds in Skyrim? (I mean other than my Jarl, who was consoled into his infidelity) - if so, maybe we should start a gossip column in the spoiler section !!

Have not found allot of cheating in Skyrim.

Also Melaran Stays in the same house as Erikur and they both sleep in the same bed

There you go. Nothing wrong with a Housecarl sleeping with his Thane, except that Erikur is married to Bryling, not Melaran. Bryling lives across the street.


ETA:


Done!

All Right !!

Ah well thankees for checking! I've only seen a pic of him on the web and a short video of him that I wasn't sure did him justice although I liked his voice!!! Then met Vilkas and tada same voice so realized he might be the better choice but Vilkas do u have to always sound a little mean?!? Lol maybe I'm just sensitive hahahah!

I saw a wedding vid of Vilkas that was pretty cool - he said a lot more romantic things than Farkas did, but didn't have Farkas's deep voice.

Had a feeling he might since he is the "thinker" twixt the two!! He's got such a dreamy voice!!
I'm trying to figure out how to post a character pic :/ will have to do from a PC I think?
Was shooting for my dream self lol but not sure I hit the mark!!

On the PC just hit "PrintScreen" for the game to snap the picture. Steam also has a game picture capture that I have hit accidentally several times, not sure which key it is. If you are on the 360 or PS3 then ask Grits how she is doing it - she has given us some Awesome screens off hers somehow.

Farkas vs. Vilkas: I checked out their living quarters. Farkas has a single bed, Vilkas has a double. This is an issue for me because I could no more separate the brothers than take Balimund away from his forge. Although I guess you could marry one and keep the other as a follower. Hmm…

Grits’ tips on how to take a picture of your TV:

Experiment with your camera to see how close you should stand.

Disable the flash.

Hold your arms pressed against your sides to steady the camera.

Gently squeeze the shutter button, don’t press it.

Take a lot of pictures. Most of mine still end up too blurry.

Go for it, Cushla!

(And thank you, mALX! )

It's F12 for the Steam screen shot.

Just a small heads up, Vilkas does have a double bed, but it only works like it's a single bed, aka if you try to sleep on it when he is sleeping it does not let you.
Balimund also has a single bed.
I myself would go with Scouts

"After marriage, when acknowledging the player's presence, Scouts-Many-Marshes will say:
"Ah, it's my love come to visit."
"Is there anything you need, dearest?"
Player: "Has the store made any money?"
"The gold is flowing nicely, here is your half of the profits, my dearest."

"Would you mind cooking something for me?"
"Here. This is from a recipe my people have passed onto me. I can cook another tomorrow."

If I recall Balimund(and Farkas and everyone else with the same voice) say(something along the lines of) "Here, it's nice and warm, i'll have one ready tomorrow." when you ask them to make food for you.

Of course when Godfrey goes to sleep, we wait until Balimund enters his room (around 11pm) then go to sleep, and we wake up at around 5am with lovers comfort, then Balimund goes to sleep for one hour , then sits in the chair for another hour eating before heading outside to the forge.

A little word of warning if you chose Balimund, thieves have a tendency to break into his house, of course Godfrey protects his husband and their adopted kiddy

BTW, I take pictures with a DSiXL, I'm going to get a capture device (if my laptop can handle it :/) so I won't have this much trouble anymore though!

Edit; actually, I will be playing later today (once my parents head to bed) So I can post all the marriage dialog for the different voices.

Grits, you don't have to take the brothers away from each other, you can just chose to live with them, just make sure when they enter their room to head to sleep you go to sleep first, that way you can get the comfort
