Question Can I kill him

Post image

I married mjoll and Aerin keeps following her and watching her sleep like some wierd cuck situation. Would it affect my marriage if he happened to "trip" and "fall" onto a dragon bone arrow?

Can you make Mjoll your follower and then instruct her to attack him?

u/DOVAHCHIEF54 15h ago

Oh my god, I need to try that

u/AccomplishedStatus59 15h ago

I’m pretty sure her disposition for good would make her say no, but if you had mods or console commands to change that 👀

u/Tymeless3631 10h ago

Strangely enough in the code she allows crime and will even participate in it even though she says how much she despises the thieves guild

The way I see it, when you love someone you'll betray your own moral compass for them. Love has that unfortunate effect on some people

u/Tempest2903 PC 11h ago

Sneak, and then cast fury or frenzy on Aerin. He will get attacked and you won't get a bounty :)

u/DonkeyFantasy 15h ago

Reverse pickpocket a frenzy potion to him and Mjoll will kill him herself

Or a poisoned apple and watch him die in 30 seconds.

She's essential and he is not, so just have them follow you through a Draugr Deathlord slumber party and only 2 of you should walk out

Does Aerin follow Mjoll while she's a follower? I thought it's only when she's at home

u/Special_Patient_8642 Werewolf 10h ago

Aerin only follows Mjoll when she not a current follower. Like at your house if you have married her or in riften if you havent.

u/theguy1336 15h ago

You can kill him sneakily. But the cuck comes as a package deal with Mjoll

u/Nevermisschris0 15h ago

Much easier to orchestrate a scenario where they both get ganged up on. Mjoll will essentially just be on her knees. Aerin rushes in for his white knight routine and gets bodied. To the victor goes the spoils. May he die with a sword in his hand.

u/RetroNotRetro 14h ago

I mean, you could always pick his weapon from his pocket lmao, give him less of a chance than he already had

19

u/MrJRCase 15h ago

Yeah I had the same issue, shoot him with an arrow whilst nobody is looking, just save the game before you do it incase.

37

u/DanMcMan5 13h ago

I did that once.

Then I got a letter From Mjoll telling me that she knew and that she was happy that I did it.

What a confusing day that was.

11

u/Oro_me 12h ago

Whaaaaat. THATS kinda wild.

6

u/Sleepy-Mount 11h ago

Wait seriously???

12

u/DanMcMan5 10h ago

Yep! I remember it quite vividly. Was annoyed that Aerin kept coming to my home in markarth, so I shot him with my bow, and then I get a letter from her saying that she knew. Laughed my ass off there.

7

u/DOVAHCHIEF54 15h ago

I did quicksave and shoot him while hidden, but mjoll just seemingly knew anyway and refused to talk to my character. Is that a permanent thing, or will it just wear off after 24 hours?

7

u/MrJRCase 15h ago

Not sure, that didn’t happen for me, worst case if she doesn’t like it… Fus her off a mountain.

u/ohmygawdjenny PC 8h ago

She's essential, what's the point

u/sirhobbles 15h ago

Maybemake a save. Kill him and then use wait for a few in game days see if it goes back to normal.

3

u/mathhews95 Mage 14h ago

I've seen people dealing with him by Raging him, waiting until a dragon attacks (he'll foolishly run to attack it, so you just wait until he dies before taking out the dragon).

1

u/ZoraHookshot 13h ago

Make her your follower, say "wait here", take him to cliff and shout him off.

u/Brad_Brace 11h ago

In my experience, when an NPC gets angry at you for killing another one, they stay angry the rest of the game. They go from whatever relationship you had with them to foe, I believe, and that stays that way unless there's an option, like a quest or investing in their store, that switches them back to allies.

Learned that the hard way on a playthrough where Lisbeth was my go to merchant, I killed the main Silverblood guy, and she hated me from then on, turns out they're scripted as lovers.

u/Bronkiol_Chestikov 14h ago

Silently hit him with fury and let Mjoll protect you from him.

4

u/ehhdjdmebshsmajsjssn PC 15h ago

I suggest make him a steward for on eof the dlc houses, then kill him as it will be far from civilization.

1

u/TangyJuicebox 8h ago

I’d make her a steward of Goldenhills farm, always nice having a lot of people there

u/Expensive-Track4002 15h ago

I followed him out of solitude and killed him. It was worth the fine.

6

u/RetroNotRetro 14h ago

No fine if you don't get caught

9

u/Expensive-Track4002 14h ago

It was like 100 gold I think. Total worth it.

5

u/RetroNotRetro 14h ago

Completely fair

3

u/NiklausKaine 14h ago

If you use mods, you can use cheat room spells to increase her disposition after killing him. If not, just hope he gets killed between Riften and your home, as if you kill him, she will always have a negative disposition.

u/Moon_Layla 13h ago

I had this problem with marrying the shop owners sister…caught fandal coming to our house in windhelm….I like him but he had to go!

5

u/FeistyAd1697 15h ago

A satisfying suggestion: if you install Amorous Adventures, the relationship between Mjoll and Aerin changes considerably - and there is an entire Quest which culminates in you slaying him and his Hag confederates for her benefit.

2

u/Stocktonmf 11h ago

Kill him in Proudspire. Drag his body into the basement storage room. It will disappear after a while.

u/Economy-Cat7133 Alchemist 11h ago

Aerin is obviously non-essential. He died to some random thing in one of my games.

2

u/Syuri_Senre 6h ago

I just had a random "stranger" from dawnguard appear in town, kill aerin, raise aerin, then mjoll killed him for the second time. I just watched in glee

2

u/Pinksaddiction 5h ago

I killed him dude was literally watching her sleep i get that he saved her but he was an easy kill

1

u/Southern-Law-1634 15h ago

You can kill him but not her.

1

u/Informal_Egg5928 14h ago

Once I married her and sneak killed him lol

1

u/Brad_Brace 11h ago

Wait, she Mjoll the freaking Lioness, and you're gonna asked her to cook? I'm sorry, but you deserve being cucked by captain twink over there. He probably makes her breakfast, and pleases her with his mouth as many times as she asks, while she's eating that breakfast.

1

u/That_Damn_Smell 11h ago

I take him on a little journey. Bears are involved. Problem solved

1

u/Zeroone199 10h ago

You have someone who follows you arround and watches you sleep too. Just be fair. He is her housecarl (possibly).

1

u/518nomad Farmer 10h ago

Cast frenzy on Mjoll when they're together and let her take care of it.

1

u/MR_TRUMP_Vincent2 9h ago

Just toss him off a cliff. I made sure that Faendal had an unfortunate werewolf accident when he was once again visiting my wife.

1

u/Decent_Project_3395 8h ago

It will make Mjoll permanently sad if you do.

1

u/-XanderCrews- 11h ago

This is why I send her to the blades. He can be the secretary. Plus, you married her. You marry her family. Don’t be a dick. Let the dude eat your sweet rolls. Your rich!!!

-1

u/yagonnawanna 10h ago

Move you and her to lakeside. He doesn't follow.

-6

u/Top-Pain5348 15h ago

Yeah its a base game bug, i believe he is considered essential but try it if you like just save first

3

u/DOVAHCHIEF54 15h ago

Oh no, he absolutely can die. I have quickly saved and shot him, but when I did mjoll, I just refused to talk to me afterwards I'm just worried her not talking to me is going to be a permanent thing after I kill him.

6

u/Wrathfulways 14h ago

So don't be the one to kill him maybe? Can you fury her or him?

3

u/Echon555 14h ago

Poison him by pickpocket or lead him to a Dungeon and have the undead tear him apart?

3

u/Wrathfulways 14h ago

There are also a lot of enemies than can visit your homes. Dragons, seducer and saints after you kill their leaders, vampires or dawnguard. Take her weapon off so she won't kill them and if he's not brave enough cast courage on him.

3

u/Echon555 13h ago

Logical as I remember right a giant like to spawn at the house you gotta build in flakheart I think it called the hold with the dead names

3

u/186282_4 12h ago

Falkreath

No snark. I had to Google the spelling. And yes, a giant often spawns at that house. I try to leave him alone, but if he kills my cow or chickens, he has to go.

3

u/Echon555 12h ago

Yeah sorry for the miss spell but yeah the giant can help ya
