Either. As long as they're in the kitchen. ;)

Borgakh because she can join me on adventures. Plus its rather ironic... pay her dowry and then marry her. :D

Also I made a character named Borgakh, not realizing at the time there was one already in Skyrim. So I'm just drawn to her I guess.

I don't know what either of them is like as a wife, but I prefer one that can travel with me, so I voted Borgakh.

I voted Borgakh because I don't know who Ghorza is.

Didn't know she could be married.

She can, after you give her the book "Last Scabbard of Akrash".

There's something else I wanna ask. I may be just overthinking it, but that's part of roleplaying.

My Orc guy is a werewolf, which inevitably severs his ties with Malacath. Borgakh is a follower of tradition, so she'd never agree to marry him if she knew the truth. Other than that, it would be a relationship based on half-truths.

Any thoughts?

The game is really stingy with the choices, unless it's Nords. Orcs only have two choices for female spouse, and two choices for female follower, and Borgakh is the only one in both categories. And it also makes it clear that any self-respecting Orc chieftain has more than one wife, so where's the rest of them?

Edit: and there's a lot more wolves in the game than Orcs. If you're playing an Orc werewolf, look to the other side of your nature!

I think iv'e only met Borgakh once or twice, and she's probably the best looking of the two, lol. But i'll vote for Ghorza , as she is an ex-Legionnaire & her brother in the keep would make a pretty cool brother in law.

Well many traditional orc marriages are not based on love. For example Borgakh was to be married off as soon as someone paid her dowry to the chief. She wasn't ready for that yet. But should your orc want to marry her, regardless of him being a werewolf he paid the dowry... unofficially or officially how you look at it. She's sort of his already. By the code of Malacath she is bound to him and should he wish to marry her, she would not say no. She might ask that there be no transformations on the bedroom...

But read up on the Orcs... six is not so often viewed as love making but more along the lines of strengthening the tribe. And not always consensual.

Either way. I don't see her not marrying your orc. And its a grey area between who has your soul. Malacath because your an orc or Hircine because your a werewolf. Just don't go becoming champion to another daedric lol

If you are a WW by accident, then get yourself cured as soon as possible before the curse makes you do something you shouldn't.

If you are a WW by choice, then don't worry about it, your character is obviously insane so thinking about what Malacath or Borgakh thinks about it wouldn't come to his mind.

I would think Malacath would respect the power and strength from becoming a werewolf. "Honor, strength and glory!"
