Is my character homosixual? : V

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 12:08 am

I've been wearing an amulet of Mara for quite a long time, but I haven't had the "Interested?" dialogue option with any NPCs I've met, ever. However, I just purchased the house in Windhelm, and became Thane, and my new Housecarl (who is male) asked me if I was interested in him the first thing he did. I wasn't, really. Is this a bug or something? I can't even ask a lady out, but male fighters seem to have a thing for me.

Help please?

I don't mind if he's into me, but I'm not into him. Sorry.

What kind of question is that? If you don't think your character is homosixual, then your character isn't homosixual. It's your character. If you want someone to be interested in you, you have to have them like you first. All the NPCs that are possible to marry require some type of service done for them in some way, shape, or form, and each one has a different criteria. I'd say look it up on UESP.

It's not a bug. Same thing happens to me. I ended up marrying Aela. Just seem like there are more guys interested in being married than girls, lol.

You don't get marry prompt without helping a person out first and raising their disposition towards you. Your housecarl has it on lvl 4 (max) by default.

You have to do things for people to get them to be interested in you. Housecarls (except Lydia because she is buggy to heck) are practically by default (they aren't interested before you become Thane of their region, but you don't meet them until after you are).

Just seem like there are more guys interested in being married than girls, lol.

There are in fact more guys availible to marry than girls. Along with no Bosmer or Khajit marriage options, and other seriously naft numbers (like one Redguard female marriage option).

It's not a bug or anything, you just have yet to do a task for a woman or gain their trust to get them to look into marriage with you.
And normally Housecarls don't need any incentive or be aided, so I'm not surprised at one of them asking if you're interested.

I got the same problem before as well. The only woman that would marry me/give me a quest for marrying in Whiterun was the woman in the bar that you brawl with.

Then the next character I started, I could start the quest to marry Ysolda in Whiterun, but later I found I couldn't get the quest to marry Mjoll in Riften which I could get in the previous character.

I just seems that certain quests are randomly bugged depending on what actions you take in the game. Or maybe each character just has a random set list of quests that automatically bug?

It seems just like life, finding someone to marry in this game is not easy.......

Why does it have to be that things are "bugged?" Why can't it be just a certain criteria each quest has that changes dynamically based on a number of different factors? I remember speaking to Mjoll when I first arrived in Riften and she had no quest for me, then I returned a long time after that and she did have a quest. Same character.

do you hang out at the blue oyster bar in solitude?

You need to talk to Manuel, the priest of Mara in Riften. You need to hear him talk about the marriage process before you can actually land someone in the bridal bed.

What kind of question is that? If you don't think your character is homosixual, then your character isn't homosixual. It's your character.

I was going to say this, but then I remembered there are lots of adolescents on this board, an age ripe for uncertainty (to name just one characteristic).

A stupid question, but I'll answer anyway. You only get proposed from people you do quests for.....

That sir, is a classic post

Yes

That's a question only you can answer my friend.

If nobody seem to be asking you there are some simple solutions. If you wnat to find a male then take-on quests given by males...i.e. walk up to all the men to see if they have a quest. If you wnat to find women you have to WALK UP TO women to see if they have quests.

Just like in real life, you have to cast the line to catch a fish. If you want to find a woman WALK UP TO all the women and complete those quests first!

It is up to you if the character is a homosixual or not.
It is a role playing game...

Hook a brother up?

Well, thanks for the replies. I was confused about the Housecarl thing since I've been hanging around with Lydia for 20 levels and the option has never showed up with her.
I was just freaked out because a male shopkeeper in Windhelm was the 2nd to be interested and I was starting to wondering whether I just attract guys or something.

(And I know it's my game and I play it how I like, it just felt curious that the first one who was interested just happened to be of the same six.)

So pretty much just like real life.

Maybe you haven't been talking to the right people.

What he said^^
So you've obviously only been helping the men. I don't think it's your character that's gay.
J/k man...

"You are what you play." So I'm guessing you share the same sixual interests as your character?
