It all boils down to whether you believe the art is born in the hands of artists or the eyes of the beholder.
To me, do whatever you please! Marry her, draw rule34, make her a zombie, whatever. The original creation is still there, no one’s forcing the unofficial changes. The author is only responsible for the original work.
And Serana herself is just bits of code.
See, I know this and yet she still made me feel like a piece of shit.
There’s (what I assume is) a glitch in a certain area. You lure a priest into a basement to sacrifice him to molag bal. If you take serana there, she will cower on the altar, like the priest does just before he is sacrificed. Maybe it’s just an automatic thing for followers to facilitate the quest, but I had her with me and holy shit. Considering her history it’s especially fucked up.
I honestly had no idea Serana was NOT marriageable. I never attempted it.
Same, I never tried marrying anyone in a game. There’s literally no point. Invent a game where you can show characters the stupidest memes you’ve ever found, and they have a choice whether or not to ignore you. On that day, I will consider which one my character needs to marry.
Actually there is a point to marrying in skyrim. You get the better xp boost effect for sleeping in your bed in the house that your partner is living in. And also if you marry Ysolda (and maybe others I don’t know, I’ve only ever married her) she actually opens a general shop in your house which is very useful for liquidating all the random loot from dungeons, and she gives you a cut of the profits.
Someone needs to make a dating sim where the main mechanic is sending each other memes
I mean I did marry, just never Serana.
To be completely honest, the game was bugged on my old machine so I took 11 years to beat it, and then when it came time to do the DLCs I just sort of waded through it like a chore.
Honestly she was one of the few characters in the game that I felt had enough depth and interaction with the player that marriage could make sense.
Pretty much everyone else is like “oh you fetched that alchemy ingredient for me? Sure I guess I’ll marry you, I’ve got nothing else going on that day”.
Don’t get me wrong- i still love Skyrim and I’m perfectly happy with marriage being basically just another quest that gives you some buffs. It’s just funny to me that Serana is one of the few characters where we can learn a TON about her, meet her parents, go exploring together, share interests, wash blood off our hands together, eat food together, go on dates. She’s accomplished enough that she is not at all intimidated by the Dragonborn, rather relates to them for being granted these supernatural powers and responsibilities they didn’t ask for. My first time playing Dawnguard ii really thought the devs were hinting that she would be the canonical spouse of the Dragonborn moving forward because it makes so much sense. So I was quite surprised she wasn’t eligible.
I was mostly disappointed Lord Harkon wasn’t.
Don’t respect the wishes of the female character, instead respect the wishes of the, presumed to be male writer. I see you.
More like “Serana doesn’t even exist IRL”
“Less than dead, they never were.”
Nords aren’t people. No rights.
I don’t know if it was a bug or not but I remember on the 360 version of Skyrim you could marry her, though I think she needed to be cured of vampirism or something. Probably screwed up the flags in game since to convince her to get cured you have to cure yourself which is annoying and you’d only due if you get turned before dawnguard, hell knowing Bethesda games it may very well be in the PC version but nobody goes down that route so it’s just been forgotten.
Who knows maybe I’ll fire up my 360 and upload that shit to YouTube or something.
I’ve never heard of that bug. I know you can marry Aela, and if you do marry her you can convince her to give up lycanthropy. If you don’t marry her, you can’t convince her.
Yeah if I had to guess it’s less of a bug and more of an oversight. I think they forgot human Serana can marry when they stripped it from Vampire Serana. If that seems weird I wouldn’t be surprised if the two versions are effectively different NPCs with a shared dialogue tree. Though I have no clue if you could even do this weirdness on the original PC or PS3 versions of Skyrim.
Marry Sylgja and there’s no need to mod anything, she’s perfect as-is.
Use console commands that come with the game to turn her into your fearless, amoral, undying battle companion. Now she’s extra perfect.
Skyrim modders when a rape victim doesn’t want to have sex with them
I always hated that bitch anyways. She made Lydia go home 😠
Yeah! She was sworn to carry my burdens! I have a lot of burdens to carry, who’s gonna help me with all these burdens?!?

Marriage system was kinda lame in Skyrim imo. It isn’t even that Serana rejects you, she’s just not one of the three or so random NPCs that you have little to no reason to interact with besides attempting to marry (exception for Lydia), so you can’t even try.
