Unmarriagable? : V

Am I doing something wrong? I haven't married anyone yet, nor had the opportunity to do so.

Have you acquired and worn the Amulet of Mara?

Buy Skyrim, you can probably find someone to marry you in there.

this, it opens up the actual marriage dialogue options

OR

your char is really really ugly yo' and no amount of questing is going to help that

Didn't spend long enough in the character creation "face" section. Better luck next time.

You need to wear the amulet of Mara, and have spoken with the priest of Mara in Riften before marriage options will appear

Edit: realized this might be a spoiler so plz PM me if anyone knows. Thanks!

I'm supposed to hold onto the amulet of Mara? Hahah. Now who did I sell that to again ...? Oh well. Next time.

Yay. Somebody took the bait.

maybe it is because you are ugly? what does this have to do with Skyrim?

1. Make sure you actually *bought* the amulet, rather than using a random loot one. Sometimes the latter doesn't work. Also, you can buy a new one.
2. Make sure you are actually trying it on an available NPC, and have done their quest. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriage
3. If all else fails, force them with console commands

Still, most of the good ones are off-limits.

Any amulet of Mara works but you need to talk to the priest that sells you one (and he does that only if you don't have one already) to learn about how marriage works. Just wearing the amulet isn't enough, you need to know about it

Thanks. Succinct. I'll keep this in mind for the next playthrough. I've already sold that amulet ... not wasting my time trying to track it down now. Guess my character's a bachelor for the foreseeable future.

You can get them pretty easily. Just go talk with the priest of mara and you can buy another one for 200g. You can also find them on mobs and get them from doing the Mara questline.

Thanks Mordy and Ashiraniir!

Also, not all women will respond to your bling. The ones that do will offer another dialogue option, "Are you interested in me?" Or something to that extent.

I did this for Saadia, I also prefer to marry the non marriageable people. I am racist as well, my Argonians/Kajiit marry their own kind only.

Try playing Fable.

I'm sadly going to have to agree with this even if it was a joke.

Specifically Fable III, at least you can hug/kiss/etc your spouse in that game.

Or play Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins, Jade Empire, hell any game in the last few years that has had a romance aspect, because they are ALL better than Skyrim's and that is saying A LOT.

Guess it's once again up to the modders, and sometimes I think Beth takes them for granted...

I can almost guarantee you that you can do more than that to your spouse in Skyrim once the CK is released...

Possibly, maybe they want to make it harder for the dirty mods people put out for their games. (in all seriousness I do not think this).

I know that, hence why in my post I said "guess it's up to the modders again"

I just think a little more effort on this feature would have been nice. As it is now it's just "hey wanna get married? "sure!" "yay!"

Well, if your character IS ugly, there is always http://digitaljournal.com/img/8/7/8/i/6/4/8/o/l_429b9cfafc0840398fcd1265746c74e5.jpg woman in a cave to the southeast.

Shadow, Phoss,

I'm of the opinion that if you can't do it right, I don't want it in my game. Dragon Age irritated me immensely. The Witcher 2 was a lot better, but still irksome. I've never played Fable, so I can't say ...

Do it right or don't do it at all. So I'm okay with Skyrim not containing much in the way of relationships. If all it does is make someone sit around your house, someone that doesn't try to harass you with a constant stream of quests and dialogue, that's fine by me.

so helpful... <_<
Make sure you buy the amulet of Mara. Help people out by doing quest for them, then they'll be interested in you... provided you're still wearing the amulet.
