10 Video Game Rewards You Unlock For Doing Completely Mundane Things
5. Get Married, Become A Shop Owner - Skyrim
Aside from epic adventures and fights with dragons, Skyrim offers its players a wide variety of more down-to-earth activities such as cooking, mining, and decorating your house. Though most of these features don’t really offer any substantial rewards, one of them does come with a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
By visiting the temple of Mara in Riften and talking with one of the priests there, the Dragonborn can unlock the ability to ask people for their hand in marriage. This is already a pretty fun feature to begin with, but as it turns out, the ability to romance your favorite companion is not the only one you can get here.
After you and your second half finally get married and move in together, your spouse will announce to you that they wish to set up shop in the house to keep themselves occupied while you’re out adventuring.
The shop generates passive income and allows you to offload the loot that litters your inventory. As far as vanilla Skyrim goes, getting married is the only way to own a shop of your own. It seems like a fitting reward for those who decide to settle down and take a break from saving the world.
