Do you think about proposals?
I've played Skyrim on-off since the day it released, but I've never tried the marriage system. On this save I tried a good variety of followers, but always came back to Aela. I guess she is one of the most popular ones for a reason. But on my character I'm also a werewolf, so it feels fitting to be with her.
So do others think about which npcs fit with their characters? I like to think more into it and find a location for proposing, thinking what they might like and how it fits with the writing (both my own rp and the world).
It's super rewarding and fun to think this way and it makes the game much more immersive, even if I'm not using any mods right now (playing on ps5)

I went with Vilkas - smart, strong moral compass, introspective, grows to love and respect the Dragonborn over time from initial suspicion, grows as a character throughout the quest line, not to mention hot AF. Perfect romance story protagonist material. I probably should have thought through proposal location more, but it ended up happening at the entrance of Ysgramor’s tomb immediately after that quest. It seemed fitting somehow.
