Moment of Shame: Breaking Mjoll's heart

Recommended Posts

I married Mjoll The Lioness. She's a great follower and I love the voice acting. On the night of our marriage, I took her home along with our two newly adopted daughters, asked her to stop following and went on about my business of being the Dragonborn. I found it odd, but when I stepped out the door, vampires attacked - and there she was still fighting along side of me.

Fine, perhaps she saw them coming, I thought. But once the vampires were dead, she kept walking. I tracked her all the way back to Riften. She'd refuse every invitation to follow or even move to other homes. A glitch? Perhaps, but I played along and acted as the jealous husband.

Aeryn... He must be the problem.

I gave them one more chance and invited Mjoll to follow me as she patrolled the streets of Riften. She did - and I spared Aeryn's life for another day.

 

I convinced her to stay at Lakeview for awhile, but then I invited Uthgerd the Unbroken to follow me and subsequently be my steward.

 

Mjoll ran away again. Aha! She's the jealous type too!

 

I found her back in Riften walking the streets with her puppydog Aeryn in tow. I planned to find a good sniping position to kill him with a bow, but being a heavy-armor wearing; greatsword wielding juggernaut, subtlety was not my strongsuit. No hiding place for me. Direct attack was the only way.

 

One more chance...

I asked Mjoll to follow, she didn't.

Thinking that all would be fine after I paid for my crime...

Out came my fire-enchanted skyforged greatsword and I lopped off Aeryn's head right in front of everyone in the Bee and the Barb.

Hmm... my conscience is strong. It's just a game, but still my action didn't settle well.

 

After leaving Riften's jail, I went back to Mjoll to invite her home. She ran from me. I chased her into Aeryn's home, but she would only say something like, "I'm too angry to talk to you!"

And her face - I zoomed into first-person mode - I'll be damned if she wasn't crying - at very least a great big pout. The unsettled feeling then broke into full-blown regret and shame.

My marriage was ruined. I have a divorce mod, but nope. Not good enough. I was bad.

 

It's a game, so unlike a real-life situation - RELOAD....

 

Eventually, I learned not to recruit any follower other than Mjoll, or she runs back to Aeryn.

There is one way to break their bond forever: make her a Blade, and BAM, that b&@*$ is gone!

 

Granted, not sure she's marriageable after that, but hey! I know it works to get rid of him!

 

Good post, well entertained by your torment.

I think he followers her there... not sure if they fixed it in a patch though, haven't married Mjoll since 2011.

I actually had Aerin follow her to Sky Haven Temple and follow her around Blades HQ like a puppy. Mjoll was a blade but her fanboy would just not go away. Maybe Delphin will put him to work as the blades cleaning boy.
