Who is the weakest companion in Skyrim?

The title of "worst follower in Skyrim" often goes to Sven, the bard from Riverwood, due to his low combat potential, civilian skills, and uninspiring nature, though Cosnach (the drunkard) and Adelaisa Vendicci (the East Empire Company worker) are strong contenders for similar reasons, often cited as being useless and having low level caps.

Can you marry Serana after she's cured?

No, you cannot marry Serana in the base Skyrim game, even after curing her vampirism, as she doesn't have the necessary dialogue or mechanics for marriage; however, you can marry her by using various player-made mods (like Serana Dialogue Add-On, Amorous Adventures, or Marry Me Serana) that add this functionality. Her character, due to past trauma, is naturally hesitant about marriage in the vanilla game, but mods can create a more in-depth romance and marriage path.
