What if your spouse dies in Skyrim?
The ultimate question for any married dragonborn in the world of Skyrim. In this article, we’ll delve into the consequences of your spouse’s untimely demise and explore the various aspects of their death.
Can you get rid of your wife?
No, you can’t formally get a divorce in Skyrim. Marrying once is forever. If your spouse dies, you can’t remarry, even if it’s just for a simple ceremony. It seems the Dragonborn doesn’t believe in the concept of divorce. So, if you’re not comfortable with the idea of your spouse being a permanent resident in your life, make sure to think carefully before committing to the sacred vow.
Can you kill your wife?
Of course, you can try. In a moment of passion, out of anger, or driven by a sense of realism, you can opt for the ultimate solution – termination of the relationship. Just keep in mind that if you do decide to, it’s a one-way ticket to Drevis’ Undeath. Yes, it’s a possibility. Unfortunately, there’s no reviving the deceased, leaving you with the choice between the two extremes – continue living with your now, um, deceased partner, or start anew.
Can you marry another lover?
Another pertinent question that has left many aspiring romantics pondering: what if your spouse leaves the mortal coil? As previously mentioned, there is no divorce, but here’s the cotton-pickin’ twist: there is no way to remarry. The Dragonborn is not interested in second-chance romances, for whatever reason. This being said, Casting off the shackles might be a euphemism for ‘abandoning your partner’. Consider your actions before jumping headlong into another marriage proposal.
Serana as an alternative
Ah, but what if your beloved Serana joins the Grim Reaper’s crew? Fret not, fellow seekers of love! Serana can be resurrected as a vampire through Divine Intervention or conjuring her as an undying companion using certain. With her at your side, you’ll be protected from the ravages of time and enjoy eternal camaraderie.
Lack of offspring
There is no biological succession in Skyrim. For all intents and purposes, you won’t have an heir to inherit the lands or the legacy of a certain dragon. While marriage does provide emotional comfort and support, parenthood is a notion unexplored in the Skyrim universe.
Reckoning with your mortality
Death, being permanent, is an unfortunate, inevitable part of life in Skyrim. In light of this, we find a deeper meaning to life amidst the chaos and violence in the world of Tamriel. Fearing what’s to come can actually enhance the beauty of human relationships.
To those seeking a glimpse of comfort, your partner can always join you in death, courtesy of certain magicka.
Now that we’ve discussed all aspects of MARRIAGE in the context of Skyrim, reflect on the fleeting nature of life and cherish your mortal relationships.
