Has anyone given any thought as to what will happen when we get married in Skyrim? I remember in the limited time that I played Fable that you could walk up to a woman you'd never seen, talk to her for a while and hit the right combination of buttons and she's marry you. It was SUPER lame. I'm hoping there's a little more, "wooing" in Skyrim. And not only that, it would be pretty cool to have a date set and for NPCs that like you to show up at the local temple. I wonder how Bethesda is handling the actual marriage ceremony or if there is one at all.

I wouldn't expect as much as Sims marriage.. love in games is always just quick and easy

A player's spouse will prepare one home cooked meal a day, which will restore health and stamina.

I'm still missing the point of "cooked food". The examples I've seen restore something like 10 health and 15 stamina, or vice versa. With health, magicka and stamina regen, we would have full bars by the time we walked up to her to initiate the dialogue for the damned "home cooked meal."

I understand role-playing, but after a while, even the best role-players will tire of eating cooked salmon that has absolutely no benefits. Even for role-playing purposes, some kind of reward should be offered for eating. Like a 600 or 1200 second in-game buff of some kind.

I tried doing this with the food in Oblivion but unfortunately it seems the food was hard-coded to only offer a momentary effect, even if you set the effects for much longer. I'm assuming Skyrim will be the same. So Bethesda created a whole cooking system without giving the cooked food any real benefits. Which means PC players who want this will have to wait for a hunger mod (which I'm sure will be released soon).

Anyway, my fake Skyrim wife can keep her fake Skyrim food until such time as a mod actually makes food worth eating.

It makes sense not to have a wedding, lore-wise. Remember Alga & Honmund in Bruma?

"I'm Alga. I'm a Bard and a Speechcraft trainer. Honmund is my "live-in" partner. No offense, but I don't want to hear any 'Mara Mother Mild' and Chapel family business. Honmund and I live together in the old Nord way. Good enough for my Fa and Ma, and good enough for me."

"I'm Honmund. I'm a prospector. Alga's my woman. Nord-style. None of that Chapel wedding nonsense."
