The sad part is that, despite being a railroaded vampire waifu of the first degree, Serena is still hands-down the best vanilla companion.

But yes, first impulse was likewise "Why the hell do I care about this snarky asshole and when can I gank her for that Elder Scroll?"  :P

Serana is seriously the single character who grates on me the most in the entire series, simply because they tried so hard to make her your waifu. It really bothered me as I was playing, and I mostly kept her around because, yeah, best vanilla companion.

I think the best mod I've ever come across is the Left-Handed Rings mod.
Or the one that puts that sweetroll in Ysolda's house.

I hate vampires, but Serana is actually the only companion I'll use at all in Skyrim.  I hated her when the quest started, but as time went by and she started actually acting like a character instead of an escort NPC I actually found myself really liking her, and my Dunmer werewolf warmaiden will forever regret not being able to actually marry her.

There's mods for that.

Apparently marrying Serana is a very important thing to Skyrim players, as Google autocompletes 'marriable' with her name.

I've gotta say, modding Skyrim just so you can marry your Skyrim waifus (because let's be honest, they're also going to get mods that let them marry the half-dozen big-titted followers they added) is almost on the level of a certain rash of statue mods in terms of pathetic reasons for modding.

Of course that doesn't apply to the three people who do it so that they can adopt little Skyrim children and RP with their virtual family in the shallow hack'n'slash sandbox RPG. Right?

I know about like, ten different mods that would let me marry her, but several of them have warnings about messing with quests.  And knowing Serana's reasons for not wanting to be involved in any religious ceremonies my character won't push her.

I still wish I could have used my 3 elder scrolls as armor, as the humorous dialog option suggested to the moth priest.

That steadfast dwemer sphere is pretty awesome. And J'zargo. He's always fun.

Personally, I like to travel with that dark elf in the Drunken Huntsman. She's a good character for travelling with.

I like to travel with Eola, at least for a while.
Though I do usually leave her as my steward at Windstad Manor. It gives me morbid satisfaction watching her cook for my adopted kids.

Building houses is HARD.*

And I find myself not entirely wanting to build a house, as I don't always feel like my character would do that.

*Long, tedious, and some rather expensive.

Despite liking houses in Skyrim I'm tempted to just go with the pocket house mod. I have the Spell Deep Storage from the Apocalypse Spell pack (I think) but it's getting to the point I've put so much crap in there the script that runs it is starting to get laggy. :(

IIRC there's a housemod that's literally a bag of holding you can carry around and climb into.
