[Lord Melchior]

Skyrim crashes to desktop for me.

Luckily, they've found a fix for that on Windows 7.

Unfortunately, I'm running XP.

[Magus]

I am level like 14 or something.

I am a lycan.

I. Rape. Bitches.

OBLIVION INTERFACE 3X BETTER. CAPS

[Avatar]

Skyrim gameplay is far better than Oblivion, however the interface is terribly terribly designed. Literally all aspects of this game would be better with the oblivion interface, from crafting to backpack to quest log. Skyrim interface is just so unintuitive and all over the place with no easy way to transition from one section to another without using your keyboard.

As well, PC controls are extremely badly optimized for crafting. (ie. you cant hit e to confirm you have to click or use Y).

Its not a dealbreaker, but it is a problem nonetheless. I'm still in Whiterun doing peasant quests.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriage

thought this was cool, gonna marry the chick i was using as a companion earlier since i just hired a bad ass mage.

In Skyrim the player has the option of marrying an NPC, regardless of age, race or gender[1]. In order to marry an NPC you must raise their disposition towards you and then wear an Amulet of Mara that signifies that you wish to marry them. If the player owns a property, his or her spouse will move in with them, and will provide a variety of benefits. [2]

There are a few ways to obtain the Amulet of Mara. The first, can be found in Bleak Falls Barrow. You can also head to the Riften Temple of Mara and give 200 gold to Maramal. The other way, is to speak with a priest in the Temple of Mara and obtain a quest of love for Mara. Upon completing all objectives, you will be finally rewarded with the Amulet of Mara.

However, it is important to note that you will not be able to marry anyone until you have spoken to Maramal about marriage. Even if you have obtained the amulet from the quest, you still need to speak with him for any action to be taken upon it. For example, one cannot marry Ysolda of Whiterun until this is complete.

After having approached a "marriable" NPC, they will mention about the amulet you are wearing. You can then ask if they are interested. They will respond and ask if you are interested as well. If you say yes, you can then proceed to marriage. In order to complete the event, you will now need to travel back to the Temple of Mara in Riften and arrange the event. You can then either move in with the NPC, or have them move in with you. You can also move in/out later when you get a house, or if you want to change, so don't worry about that choice being permanent.

Upon visiting your spouse in your house, you will then be able to ask about the money your store has produced. You will be able to collect daily income of about 100 gold from your spouse. However, you will not be able to trade with him/her like a regular merchant if they have not moved in with you (you moved in with her, instead). Until you do so, this will not be available.
