I told the husband to live in Markarth and normally the two guys get along fine until I throw items down in the bedroom. The first time, it was hubby's first homecooked meal that I threw down, heard "That's mine!" and "Not if I get it first", saw the two men race walking with weapons drawn to the meal on the nightstand. The housecarl got there first so the hubby started wailing away on him with a two handed axe, but the housecarl wasn't getting wounded. Occasionally, he would be staggered but didn't actually take any damage. Do a reload, put the pie on the table in the main room, the guys were behaving themselves. I noticed I picked up a statue of Dibella somewhere so I decided to put it on a ledge in the bedroom to show it off. Well, I heard the same bickering, saw the same foot race, but this time it was the hubby that got there first so the housecarl started wailing on the hubby this time, still no damage, but some staggering. Silly, silly game. =)
That is hilarious (at least by Bethesda standards). I had no idea that spouses and housecarls reacted to one another under any circumstances. I may have to see if Aela and Lydia will fight over something. If Bethesda can script that sort of encounter, I wonder why it will not inject a little more depth in the dialogue between the PC and companions or spouses. Of course, I know nothing about how this sort of thing is done, but Bioware manages to create games where the PC can develop some sort of relationship with followers.
