Married Companion issues

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 11:51 pm

Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.


I've had several companions and went ahead and married one of them, Onmund to be exact. Now, I took him everywhere with me beforehand and he worked as well as my other companions- equipped the best equipment I gave him, backed me up, etc.


The glitchness started right before the ceremony- first it never started, even after waiting the 24 hours after talking to the Mara priest. I reloaded to right before I put on the amulet, and then everything worked fine. Told him to go to my house, and in the house, there doesn't appear to be an issue.


If I take him as my active companion, however, he no longer fights. He assumes the stance, but either equips a one handed weapon and wields like a two hand, or if I take everything away from him, he has a default bow- he's a mage. He stays way, way back, and never comes forward, or blasts a spell, although occasionally one hand has the electricity texture around it.


I also don't know if the following is a glitch or just a dev decision (in which case, what the hell), but if I take him as an active companion, he reverts to his pre-romance lines. If I tell him it's time to part ways, he says he's going back to the college. For a while his ambient dialogue wasn't firing either, but that appears to be working after restarting my xbox.


Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a workaround?


ETA: I've had other companions since then, and they seem to be working fine, so I'm operating under the assumption that is this specific to married companions.
ETA2: Okay, apparently he's constantly doing the block animation, which is why he's so slow even when we're running with weapons out. And when there's nothing to block.

I wish I could tell you but the game won't let me marry. I stay at the altar and I somehow fail it every time.

You mean the cutscene starts and freezes, or just never begins?

Haha, that's why I waited until after I was married before beaning Lydia over the head. I haven't figured out if that was a glitch or not, because I lost Uthgerd or whomever by accidently killing her in a fight with bandits and nothing happened. Perhaps it has to be cold blooded murder, or it's supposed to be?

Actually, my Lydia died in a fight where we were outnumbered and I ran away. =D Thankfully I was okay.
