Get to level 90 in conjuration. Visit one of the mages at the Mage's College and buy the "dead thrall" spell. Then find your wife's corpse and reanimate it. She may not be very talkative anymore, but she will occasionally say "UGGHHHHHNNN!"

[–][deleted] 455 points456 points ago

That's better than fucking before. Damn right you'll carry my burdens.

[–]DeadFreshmanflair 149 points150 points ago

So fucking a reanimated corpse is better than fucking a regular corpse? TIL...

[–]hobo_shinobiflair 80 points81 points ago

At least they won't struggle if you wanna try something new.

EDIT: fixed sentence structure.

[–]Supertrinko 306 points307 points ago

Because sentence structure was the major problem with that comment.

I'm the only alchemist in Skingrad. Not much business here, but I can't go back to Morrowind. It's just like anywhere else in the Empire. By the way... do you happen to know what the fine is here in Cyrodiil for necrophilia? Just asking...

[–]TheGhostOfDRMURDER 9 points10 points ago

Is it the first offense?

[–]skimskimskimflair 19 points20 points ago

Let's assume "no"

[–]TheGhostOfDRMURDER 16 points17 points ago

Then it's at least 500 gold.

I feel like anybody still bothering with Lydia deserves her.

[–]ZanshinJ 18 points19 points ago

If I recall right, there is a cave or something that actually has a Mage doing this very thing.

[–]dasredditoreflair 1681 points1682 points ago

We need to get this to the top of r/all so that people will see it and freak out before they realize what subreddit it's in.

[–]Saan 450 points451 points ago

Try subscribing to r/dwarffortress, every now and then you see a post asking for the best way to kill a bunch of cats, confusing as hell.

That happened to me you asshole ಠ_ಠ

[–]eihongo 5 points6 points ago

Take it.

[–]Cadvin 13 points14 points ago

Happened to me.

Only I didn't freak out. I didn't even realize that it was odd. I just thought "Poor sap plagued by a bug." I don't know what to think about myself.

[–]xandoraflair 8 points9 points ago

Totally had to do a double take when I read this title. Definitely upvoting.

[–]juru1876flair 5 points6 points ago

That happened to me! I was like.. "What the fuck!? .. Oh!"

Well, your mission was a success.

Already done, and judging by my reaction - great success!

[–]Stunningham2 1 point2 points ago

haha that's exactly what happened to me, I'm clicking it either way

[–]Amanda111 103 points104 points ago

No more home cooked meals for you. Or your share of the money she makes. May I ask why you killed her?

[–]Themingemac[S] 361 points362 points ago

I came home, and Faendal was sitting in a chair eating bread while she was walking around my house. I suspected her of infidelity and I rightfully prosecuted her under my own law.

[–]claymick 259 points260 points ago

Hahaha! Your wife cheated on you with a BOSMER!

[–]Schymflair 111 points112 points ago

An elf stole his wife! What a milkdrinker!

You take that back, scoundrel!

[–]visiblewindflair 56 points57 points ago

...Wow! That's... I mean, eating bread. Clearly there's a problem there, your wife, and he had the nerve to... eat bread in front of her.

[–]BrokenBelief 16 points17 points ago

You linked the wrong time. If you had gone like 2:00 minutes in. "...Woah! ...Wow. And that happened today? Like.. just a little while ago. Wow."

[–]Theotropho 2 points3 points ago

This was a good laugh. nods seriously

[–]nimoto 53 points54 points ago

[–]Legitimidgetflair 1 point2 points ago*

I like to collect books I find in Skyrim, and when I saw 'The Lusty Argonian Maid v2' I just had to steal it. Laughter was produced. Now I just need to find the first volume...

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I saw a post about the 1st volume saying that one-handed should increase when you read it. Bethesda, you missed out on an opportunity...

[–]Amanda111 25 points26 points ago

You know... I am married to Villas and everytime I come home Lydia is in our bedroom... Eating bread... I have had the sneaking suspicion Ur has been unfaithful too.

[–]Rokusiflair 2 points3 points ago

What, Lydia? Betray her thane? Don't be silly, she'd be in your room anyway! It's a damn fine room compared to her little closet.

[–]Electrosynthesis 4 points5 points ago

Sounds like a visit to Boethiah would be in order.

[–]jemm 1 point2 points ago

There is always bread involved. There has to be a connection with the bread and cheaters...

[–]MyNameIsChar 7 points8 points ago

You monster.

[–]RaptorATFflair 1 point2 points ago

HA! That happened to one of my friends too! Here's the full story

[–]McJiggins 1 point2 points ago

Was your wife Camilla of the Riverwood Trader? I married and killed her too.

[–]badgerfish 527 points528 points ago

Try posting this to r/askreddit see what people say!

[–]Ronaldo79 254 points255 points ago

Post it with this title, then in the comment spot put "in skyrim"

[–]badgerfish 108 points109 points ago

When I saw this reply in my inbox, I was a bit... WTF! He killed his wife?? Fuck you, forgetful brain!

[–]ndru_of_Wundalandflair 21 points22 points ago

don't, it'd be better to just leave it open to interpretation.

[–]Lube_Skyballerflair 4 points5 points ago

If he doesn't do it, someone will.

One of my favorite jokes to use around my friends was to say how I had done some absurd asinine thing earlier that day, maybe something illegal, and then end with, "...in GTA IV".

[–]pescador7flair 215 points216 points ago

I'm waiting for a mod where you can have one wife for each house you own. So your whiterun wife never know about your windhelm wife, and so on. THAT would be awesome.

[–]Iamienflair 119 points120 points ago

Something Fable 3 has up on Skyrim. Much better wife and real estate options.

[–]jimmytheone45flair 66 points67 points ago

First time I've seen Fable mentioned on this board. Skyrim could definitely get some sweet gameplay ideas from those guys.

Replace falmer with hobbes

[–]BrianKidflair 93 points94 points ago

I mentioned Fable once on this board. Shitstorm ensued.

[–]YesImSardonicPC 30 points31 points ago

It was one of the most spectacular clusterfucks I've ever failed to enjoy. I imagine it was a similar experience for many others.

[–]TrevX9flair 14 points15 points ago

That is quite an accurate statement.

I feel like the whole "Why Fable can't hold a candle to Skyrim" debate would deserve its own thread.

[–]Rokusiflair 66 points67 points ago

"People always enjoy a good fable. M'aiq has yet to find one, though. Perhaps one day."

[–]TrevX9flair 1 point2 points ago

I want to know where and when you found this...

[–]gc3 17 points18 points ago*

I like the fact that you can actually have sex in fable.... besides the Skyrim archetypes murderous assassin or psychotic murdering thief, or brave nordic warrior murderer, in Fable you can make a rakish cad... Three prostitutes one after the other in one bed is a good way to spend 20 minutes in Fable.

[–]Theotropho 41 points42 points ago

Sounds like someone hasn't figured out that porn is free yet.

[–]Dyzon 21 points22 points ago

I'd prefer if there was a possibility they could find out about each other. Pull up a chair and watch the battle royale in the middle of the town. Even throw in a betting mini-game.

[–]gc3 9 points10 points ago

They could in Fable II, your wife would become angry but stay married with you, and act all distant. No catfight though.

[–]Theotropho 25 points26 points ago

Why would I want my game to remind me of the shit I'm playing the game not to think about? Fuck this.

[–]istaraflair 8 points9 points ago

I swear Peter Molyneux's next "masterstroke" will be a game in which you need to shit every 20 minutes of gameplay, or get cursed with constipation and have reduced carrying ability or speed or something.

kill your wife to remarry, but you also have to kill the priest who performed to ceremony to get rid of witnesses to your marriage

but if you kill the priest you can't get married again

I married that freelance trader from Whiterun. I don't remember her name and I avoid that house like the plague. Everytime she calls me "my love" in that starry eyed voice I want to strangle myself.

I'm always out adventuring and the one time I got crazy drunk and tried marrying a Hagraven, she seemed pretty cool about it.

Plus Aela is a bit masculine for my tastes.

I married Aela. Best companion for dragon fighting. Sweet when you ask for food and always giving you your half. She's a strong woman. SO don't you dare insult her!

Some character pissed me off very badly (I think I lost a fist fight to him or somethin. Masters, you guys know how it is.) So I married him, got him to follow me and sacrificed him to Boethiah.

[–]Billistic 3 points4 points ago

That's the problem with Skyrim that I hope they fix in the next one. The world doesn't seem to give any notice to how fucked up you're doing shit. I wish the game was smart enough to put together how ruthless you're being.

You can't remarry in Skyrim. If you're on PC, you can try using this mod, though I'm not sure if it would work after killing your wife.

[–]glassbowflair 1 point2 points ago

Might want to start by calling 911 if it was an accident. If you murdered her, you should think about turning yourself in to the authorities as soon as possible. Getting a new wife should be the least of your concerns right now.

[–]elmombakerXBOX 1 point2 points ago

screw her corpse. You can hire someone else for the housework.

[–]IAmAtomatoflair 1 point2 points ago

I'd put her in a mixture of ammonia and lye in a bathtub. After letting soak for 15-20 minutes, put 'er in a good ol' American trashbag, if you don't have one of those, just shove her intoo a trash-compacter, or something. After that, simply bury that ho in the backyard, or something, make sure it's a good, deep grave, and cover it with concrete, that way the guards don't catch you. Wait 1-2 years so that the heat dies down, then go home and play Skyrim.

[–]Wromeo13 1 point2 points ago

I am in love with my in game wife, Jennasa, IRL, after two hours of doing quests and saying to myself "She will show up soon" I got worried. I retrace my steps and I find her dead next to some mages in Ustengrav. I reloaded my save from two hours before and lost a ton of quest progress. WORTH IT.

[–]VikingOfLove 1 point2 points ago

Dead wife still good, nose plugs and vaseline
