I think the Serana Dialogue Addon does the romance tastefully, they even hired the original voice actor.

Boobies even
Marry Sylgja and there’s no need to mod anything, she’s perfect as-is.
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. Her marrying or not marrying you is all puppeteering either way, and no one gets hurt by that.
Don’t respect the wishes of the female character, instead respect the wishes of the, presumed to be, male writer. I see you.
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.
That drug dealer woman who was into interracial sex was the best choice ez
Who the hell is this lmao
Ysolda
Isn’t she the one that falls madly in love with the player if they foist a mammoth tusk upon her? I remember her being a bitch to Carlotta, which puts her on the same level as Nazeem.
I honestly had no idea Serana was NOT marriageable. I never attempted it.
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.
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.
You can sleep in Skyrim? I’ve been awake for 97 days…
