    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    Not the marrying type. But if there is a dragon soul around, I’m a bit peckish.
