Best Hearthfire Vanilla Wife?

[Daryl]

Whats the top few wives to have in Hearthfire?
Like if you settle on a home outside a hold
and y'know dont have her as a "Follower" all the time of much at all.
to add further into the story
I mean it would be devastatingly sad and story twist for the dragonborn returning home and find his home ransacked or worse..
or something
or came home whilst his wife is fighting a horde of bandits or something.
help.

o 3o
or kidnapped...

Hmm, I always like to marry Aela.
Aela's probably the only one I marry.

Helpless? Then consider marrying Camilla Valerius. :)

I agree, Aela is amazing (even though her true love will probably always be Skjor). But oddly enough, Aela HATES Lakeview Manor. Which is strange, since Falkreath hold is one of the places where you can enter Hircine's realm, and the Manor itself is in the perfect locale - beautiful lake, stunning mountains, and dense pine forests full of the hunt: paradise for the huntress. Who knew it, but Aela is really a CITY GIRL who loves Proudspire Manor. That always puzzles me.

Sylgja from Shor's Stone is my favourite. She seems to like it everywhere. Although, you may wish to use some mods, unless you want her to wander around with a pickaxe.

I personally use console to add spouse (often female, sometimes male) and certain friends in to follower faction, so I can change their gear with EFF. I do not mess around with their classes or AI though, so they will still run in cover from the battle, unless they were combat oriented characters in the first place.

It is slightly more fun to visit Whiterun from Heljarchen hall for business, when riding with a spouse on your side - and a well armed follower to protect him/her, if spouse is not a member of any combat oriented class.

When you ask her "How are the kids?"

Yeah lol. Maybe it is her wild protective maternal nature coming out, but she basically calls you a dumbass for choosing that location. I thought it would be perfect for her!

[Ilja]

I would have actually thought that as well, if I had not known that she would dislike the area. There would be plenty of places for her to run and hunt.

Personally I prefer Heljarchen hall better. It is of course a bit strange place to have a family, but knowing what Lakeview has around it (deep caverns, deadly spiked pits, necromancers, slaughterfish in the lake, dragonpeak nearby etc.) Heljarchen hall seems like a very peaceful place. And there is plenty - if not more - places to run around and hunt as well. :p

ahh i see

Personally, I like Frea's voice (The Skaal from Dragonborn), Jenassa (that dark elf in Drunken Huntsman), and Aela. But I always found followers to be really lacking in dialogue. The marriage dialogue I like most is Farkas's because he becomes such a sweetie--really doting and caring.
