If you've played through QFG5 at least once, chances are you chose one of the following four women -- Elsa, Erana, Katrina or Nawar -- as your bride. If you haven't and/or didn't know you could do this, go play the damn game already!
As far as I know, here's who will marry which class:
ELSA
Fighter - Yes (paired match)
Wizard - Yes
Thief - Yes
Paladin - Yes
ERANA
Fighter - Yes
Wizard - Yes
Thief - No
Paladin - Yes (paired match)
KATRINA
Fighter - Yes
Wizard - Yes (paired match)
Thief - Yes (paired match)
Paladin - No
NAWAR
Fighter - Yes
Wizard - Yes
Thief - Yes (paired match)
Paladin - Yes (although this doesn't really make much sense)
If I'm wrong on any of these, please correct me.
Also, I'd like to know how the women view multi-classed characters, like a Fighter/Thief. Would Erana say "no" because you have Thief skills or does that only happen if you chose Thief as your initial class?
Anyway... I played through QFG5 with every class; in fact, the only other QFG game I did that with was HQ/QFG1. I enjoyed playing the Paladin the most in QFG5 because his powers were so useful. The whole honor system was a little annoying, but at least it wasn't as bad as in some other games.
Despite having played all four classes, each time I married Elsa.
Why? For starters, she's a strong, self-assured young woman who isn't a damsel in distress. Don't get me wrong, that's fun every so often (in fact, the Hero rescued her at the end of QFG1), but in the Hero's line of work, he does enough rescuing. He doesn't need a girlfriend or wife who's kidnapped as often as Lois Lane or April O'Neil.
Aside from the previously mentioned traits, she's a character you met early on. I like the continuity. Beyond that, I like her attitude and personality. She can be a tough warrior one moment and a slightly embarrassed girl (while getting courted by the Hero) the next, which is amusing, if nothing else.
What about the other three?
Well, I didn't really like Erana -- she seemed too "goody-goody" for me. Yes, even my Paladin felt that way.
Nawar just felt "wrong" somehow. I didn't have a problem with her as a person (or even just a friend), but I didn't like her as a girlfriend/wife of the Hero. I suppose she could be his mistress if he were so inclined. I wouldn't recommend that if you marry Elsa or Katrina, though, as I have a feeling their revenge would leave the Hero sounding like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I didn't go with Katrina either, mostly because she was bugged. I realize that's been fixed now, so if I did replay it, I might give her a shot when playing through as a Wizard.
So for the relative few of you who've managed to make it this far and put up with my long-winded post: Who did you marry? Why?
), I opted for polygamy: Erana, Nawar, Elsa (which, I believe, is also the order you have to marry them in for it to work).
