I smell a... wumpus!?
I've noticed for the past day or two that resting isn't giving me the 'rested' or 'well rested' bonus, even if I sleep in a house I own for 8+ hours. Anyone know what might be up with that?
Well that's encouraging - I was getting worried that something had started to corrupt this character.
We get a bonus for having a spouse? They aren't just for cooking, sweeping up, and creating alternate characters? Who'da thunk it! <evil grin>
Spouses also set up merchant stores, and share the profit with your character.
That's actually the most useful bit; having a 24 hour merchant right in your home.
Yeah, I don't get why anyone would want the benefit from sleeping. One levels up fast enough in this game, and once one gets to level 20 or so, everything becomes too easy, I think… You don't need the uber levels and associated spells and perks.
LOL I hear you, especially since this bonus also stacks with the similar benefit from the mage/thief/warrior stones, which I now avoid like the plague.So my characters are all sleep-deprived insomniacs.
There isn't specialized stores based on which spouse you marry (that could be a decent idea for a mod, methinks). Basically, the inventory of spouses' stores is more or less on par with those of merchants like Riverwood or Belethor's shops, randomized once a day (I think) and not particularly specialized. At one time they may have magical weapons, another time more jewelry, and almost never any new spell books (in my experience). The cumulative 100 gold of sell profits is actually useful when you marry early in the game, much less so later on obviously.BTW, are the stores provided by spouses any good? I've found the apparel store in Solitude to be excellent for enchanted jewelry, and once you complete one the Solitude thief reputation quest, the special merchant there always has the best weapons.
