I was watching a period drama last night with my sister and I realised what a huge role marriage played in those times, I’m no historian but I’m fairly certain it was just as important back then so I’ve decided to draw up my own concept, remembering at this Skyrim’s pathetic attempt
Step 1. Finding your match
Hmm, Brunette, Blonde or the ugly duckling with two pigs and a wealthy family. Finding your match should be more about love and chemistry you say?, Wrong!
You don’t care for such it’s a video game for christ’s sake, I’d marry whatever hag held the largest fortune or estate and so should you, but albeit that’s what makes these games so appealing some will choose the noble path and marry the girl in which they hold affection and others will marry any old cow as long as she holds a hefty coin purse
Step 2. The pursuit of fair ladies heart
Now that you’ve made your choice it’s time to look at the task at hand, how ever will I convince this maiden to love me, don’t fret I’ll lay it all out
Option: A, The Widowed Baroness
Requirements: A reasonable fortune, A respectable public image, A silver tongue, The ladies favour and finally an expensive gift.
Perks: The title of Baron, The Baroness’ castle or manor as a player home, servants to do your bidding and also a Baron’s income.
Option: B, The Blacksmith’s daughter.
Requirements: A medium to small amount of money, The maidens favour and a small token of your affection.
Perks: A free set of armour, free use of a forge and possible ownership if an “accident” should occur to your father in law.
You guys get the idea, Please let me know what you think!
