I never married in Skyrim. Not after probably a thousand of hour gameplay.
Real life no problem. Skyrim never.
I actually love the marriage mechanics in Skyrim. if you're interested in someone, you put on an amulet of Mara and go talk to them. If they aren't interested, they ignore it, and there is no social awkwardness. If they are interested in you, they comment on the amulet and ask if you are looking for a partner. You can then say woops, my bad, I didn't realize that's what wearing this meant, or yes I am, are you interested, if so, let's go get married.
I wish real life was that straightforward. No games, no social awkwardness, no guessing.
It's because life in Skyrim is so short and brutal. Half the population mysteriously dies every playthrough.
Reminds me of the Horga'hn from Star Trek, we should use those in real life too.
Or not, i could do without having an aneyurism from hearing about that stupid jahahmaron ever again.
Also, they never clarified whether the statues give any indicator about gender preference either.
The whole thing just feels extremely fake. I mean, it's a video game, everything there is fake, but the marriage in particular is something I can't suspend my disbelief enough to accept as being real in the context of the game world.
Eh, im fine with it personally, clear out all the usual gameified BS.
It makes a certain story mod that says the Nords are homophobic feel like the jarring oddity, given Skyrim was the first in the series to do away with restrictions on marriage, and its not considered abnormal anyway.
Sometimes its fine to streamline and simplify.
In the mod "The Lost City" they have racism against Redguards that feels really out of place.
They even try (poorly) to justify it in a loading screen tip. Basically, "people die young in Skyrim; that's why they'll agree to marry you after you've done them a single minor favor."
God, that reminds me of Fallout 4 and how after doing one favour for people they just let you completely take over their settlement.
