Sometimes when you talk to guards, they'll go on about how they used to adventure - until they took an arrow to the knee.

And considering how.. when you're talking to them.. you could have about 7 arrows sticking out of you...

Yeeeahhhh beat the main quest. Now I'm sitting around with no idea what to do next.

I'm going to start a new character as an imperial who is out for themselves. Pretty much do the opposite of what I do now.

If you haven't played as a sneaky-type yet, even if it's not your thing, I highly recommend it. It's great fun. I discovered something last night that probably everyone else already knew, but once you get your enchanting up, you can enchant armor,gloves,a ring, and a necklace with fortify smithing and you can improve items past legendary (status doesn't change if it's already legendary, but the armor/damages do).

I'm considering trying to put points on my sneaky character into the heavy armors just so I can get to Daedric or Ebony weapon improvements since right now an ebony bow will never be better than a glass bow for me because I can improve the glass bow higher. The issue there is that it's 3-4 perks I could be using on something much more useful than a few more points of damage...

Can't seem to get any marriage dialogue. I'm wearing the Amulet of Mara, finished the Companions questline, but Aela doesn't say anything.

Speaking of wives ...

[Timmoru Suzuki]

So, in Winterhelm there's blatantly going to be a quest where you investigate the serial-killer that everyone keeps talking about. How do you actually trigger the quest? I've talked to the Yarl and his associates, the bar-staff and folk in the bar, just about everyone I remember passing in the street (though I can't guarantee that I've spoken to everyone), and I've wandered around aimlessly hoping that an event might be triggered based on how long I spend in Windhelm in one go. Most of that was over night too, because the killer pounces at night and I thought I might have a random chance of catching someone in the act.

[Summers]

Head to the cemetery in the morning. That's when I found it.

[Regia]

It triggered for me in the middle of Winterhelm, but that's because a dragon attacked the city, which caused the NPC that triggers the quest to move from where she should have been.

[TKz]

I've read somewhere that it'll also start when you buy a house there.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

Thanks guys. Will give triggering it another go next time I go on.

So, after hearing about Skyrim marriage I've been looking up how to do it (Mara) and at who you can ask (if you're friendly enough with them). Bit of a shame that I won't be able to marry that redhead who owns the store in the Dwarven city to the West. From the list the front-runners so far are Aela the Huntress (would be...interesting), Ysolda and Senna (the introduction to her after the drinking contest was enjoyable and she's clearly gagging). Jordis is up there too and reading about Njada Stonearm (Companion with the red war paint) some of the stuff she says when married is rather lovely.

[Ruki]

How do you get married? Is there a quest that pops up? Talk to someone?

Wonderfully helpful site. Also I got the 100,000 gold trophy last night! And I haven't even gotten around to selling half the stuff in my first chest yet, let alone the larger second one.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

You need to get the amulet of Mara which crops up in certain places or you can just go to the Temple of Mara in Riften and buy it for 200. Having it kind of makes you legible for marriage if you speak with one of the priests there. Then you can ask various NPCs but they'll generally only marry you if you've completed a task or storyline arc involving them. You go to the temple, get married and can choose to move in with them or move them to a house you own. They then set up business in the house and you can get money and a meal from them each day.

[Ruki]

Coolio! Thanks! I've only just been to Riften (I was wandering around outside the city, got arrested and stuff...paid my fine and went on my way). Found a few quests there, but made my way back to Whiterun to finish the companion questline (I am close to being done I think).

It's a sham! My wife never came home, and the ceremony was attended by a bunch of people I'd never met!

Probably your wife's friends, which you'd know if you PAID ATTENTION TO THE WEDDING PLANNER

I guess I just beat Skyrim
