Maybe the real dragon soul is the citizens we married along the way.

It's kinda funny. My wife and I were living together in a committed relationship for about five years. Then her mom said, in passing, "Aren't you worried he doesn't want to buy the cow if he can get the milk for free?" And that just sent her into a tailspin for weeks.
So, about a year later, we got married. And it's been great. Ceremony was an excuse to have a big party with all of our friends. We've got a bunch of pictures all over the house where we can say "Damn, we looked good when we were younger". Given the tax advantages and the fact that we were about to buy a house and have a son anyway, it was the logical move. But it's amusing that this was the straw to break the camel's back, so to speak.

Don't you mean cow's back?
Uncool dude that's his wife
😗
Sounds kind of like the ideal wedding attitude to me. Light on the symbolism, heavy on the "one last rager to remind ourselves that we're actually kinda too old to be doing that anymore".
Similar boat. Already had a house, been together for years. Getting married was just for fun and tax benefits. It changed nothing, otherwise.

dragon soul seems the most likely
gg guys
My wife absorbs her dragon called soul every night.
Ok, I got my dragon soul, but when can I afford the house?
You can monetize the power shout somehow in this capitalistic society. Worst case shout onlyfans? Even Cameo that app where you pay someone 199$ to say something.
By the time you're Thane of Whiterun you generally have enough to get the house there unless you somehow managed NOT to take every object you had been in the same room as along the way.
Kill 14 more dragons and sell of their scales amd bones.
This requires at least 75 in Speech and many of the perks.
Facts
I have a roof over my head over my head but most of all I’m dead inside. So I got that dragon soul achieved too.
"Dead inside"
NOT Thu'um-in
Sure thing, buddy. You're keeping that achievement locked.
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.
Guys, I just want the Dragon Soul.
Ok, i'll trade it for a house and a marriage
Ah, I see your confusion. I'm not saying I have a marriage and a house and want a dragon soul instead, I'm saying I have none but only want the dragon soul.
The price has been stated.
I can help with thwo of those. But I won't tell which >:)
Lemme absorb dat dragon soul hubby
I dragon soul all over you.
Help me buy a house
sure, but first you have to help me steal one
I'm married and have a house, but I'm pretty sure my wife has the dragon soul.
Oh, I'm not a citizen, so also that!
what game is this lol
skyrim probs
I'm not going to say I play to many video games (can you read too many books? Watch too many movies? Eat too many hoagies?) but the home ownership gave it away a little over hatoful boyfriend.
Meanwhile with me it's just the No Gods, No Masters NV achievement. Either that or the Clean and Righteous! Achievement from Red Faction Guerrilla.
And once you get any one of those things, getting the other 2 becomes much easier.
Not the marrying type. But if there is a dragon soul around, I'm a bit peckish.
