Her dress is filthy and ragged at the bottom. She's still the most aesthetically pleasing woman in the game by far though, in my opinion.
Only in a Bethesda game would they improve the appearance of characters so much over Oblivion (although I liked the way people looked in Oblivion) and allow marriage, only to make the vas majority of potential marriage candidates old, wrinkled or ugly (or all three).
True. Bethesda should add some more appealing marriage candidates (I'm not saying that I'm attracted to videogame characters, but you know what I mean).
Still, the dirty clothes and pickax is a major flaw of Sylgja. I'd like it if we could give our spouse gifts that they could use. This way, we can get rid of the dirty clothes and pickax (if we want) at the same time as we expand the marriage feature a small bit.
