Lydia is like Dogmeat in the original fallout games, npc's that have been with you from the beginning can get caught in a minigun burst and restarting from the beginning of the mutant base is too much of a hassle but whenever Dogmeat dies it's an instant reload. Lydias the same way for me, she's like when I get a girlfriend in a hentai game who ends up feeling like a real girlfriend but then I reach the point in the game where I am turned into a tentacle monster while making love to her and I cry and apologize for what I'm about to do to her in a minute when I'm a monster as she screams and tries to run away but I involuntarily hook her leg with a tentacle and drag her sobbing hysterically back to the bed. Usually I hit "remember true self" as fast as I can so my tentacle demon form isn't that hard on her and I return to myself again and we collapse sobbing in each others arms, but she realizes I couldnt control myself and did everything I could to stop her from being triple penetrated by a demon. The first time around though I just save the game and let the demon rape play out and get off to her being inflated till she looks 30 months pregnant with my demon semen and her pupils retract to tiny points and she's foaming at the mouth and when I'm finally done ejaculating she twitches on the floor catatonic and ends up in a mental institution. Sure I let that happen but then I just reload and in an hour we're having a pizza party and making love under the stars on a deserted island in a secluded lake.

HE SAID LYDIA IS LIKE DOGMEAT IN THE ORIGINAL FALLOUT GAMES, NPC'S THAT HAVE BEEN WITH YOU FROM THE BEGINNING CAN GET CAUGHT IN A MINIGUN BURST AND RESTARTING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE MUTANT BASE IS TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE BUT WHENEVER DOGMEAT DIES IT'S AN INSTANT RELOAD. LYDIAS THE SAME WAY FOR ME, SHE'S LIKE WHEN I GET A GIRLFRIEND IN A HENTAI GAME WHO ENDS UP FEELING LIKE A REAL GIRLFRIEND BUT THEN I REACH THE POINT IN THE GAME WHERE I AM TURNED INTO A TENTACLE MONSTER WHILE MAKING LOVE TO HER AND I CRY AND APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO TO HER IN A MINUTE WHEN I'M A MONSTER AS SHE SCREAMS AND TRIES TO RUN AWAY BUT I INVOLUNTARILY HOOK HER LEG WITH A TENTACLE AND DRAG HER SOBBING HYSTERICALLY BACK TO THE BED. USUALLY I HIT "REMEMBER TRUE SELF" AS FAST AS I CAN SO MY TENTACLE DEMON FORM ISN'T THAT HARD ON HER AND I RETURN TO MYSELF AGAIN AND WE COLLAPSE SOBBING IN EACH OTHERS ARMS, BUT SHE REALIZES I COULDNT CONTROL MYSELF AND DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO STOP HER FROM BEING TRIPLE PENETRATED BY A DEMON. THE FIRST TIME AROUND THOUGH I JUST SAVE THE GAME AND LET THE DEMON RAPE PLAY OUT AND GET OFF TO HER BEING INFLATED TILL SHE LOOKS 30 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH MY DEMON SEMEN AND HER PUPILS RETRACT TO TINY POINTS AND SHE'S FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AND WHEN I'M FINALLY DONE EJACULATING SHE TWITCHES ON THE FLOOR CATATONIC AND ENDS UP IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION. SURE I LET THAT HAPPEN BUT THEN I JUST RELOAD AND IN AN HOUR WE'RE HAVING A PIZZA PARTY AND MAKING LOVE UNDER THE STARS ON A DESERTED ISLAND IN A SECLUDED LAKE.

I liked her at first, but when she won't shut up telling the same shitty stories while I'm in some not-skippable quest dialogue she starts to get on your nerves very quicklyso I swapped her back out.

[–]999realthings 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wouldn't mind Mjoll if she keep her fucking mouth shut. I'm trying to listen to interesting character dialogue and story and she just opens her mouth and talks about pointless and boring stuff about her dad or liking the cold.

Silence woman, I prefer to hear about killing dragons than your story.

Interesting that it shows Lydia as trained in one-handed weapon, but my Lydia always chooses the two handed weapon option when she carries my loot.

[–]MrGrieves- 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Give her an upgraded one-hander that is enchanted and she will always choose it. But given the choice between an iron sword and an iron warhammer she will pick the one with higher base damage to her, even if you'd rather her block.

[–]brelarow 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I lost her pretty early on at an outside bandit camp. And I didn't see she died, I thought she was just bugged out or something. Ended up doing a dungeon or two before I finally tracked down what happened to her.

Now I kinda wish I had loaded my last save. Not to use her for a companion. (I like areana better) but because she would be hanging out in my house

[–]Pixeleyes 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guess I'm weird, I don't give a shit about companions in Skyrim as I feel they steal my thunder, potential skill ups and cramp my stealth style. There's nothing more infuriating than stealthing into position just to have your companion try to path right through the enemies, revealing your position. The only time I have a companion is when it's time to sacrifice somebody to some random Daedric Lord.

My Lydia died in an epic battle with a Ice Wizard during the A Night To Remember quest. Her death was so worthy I couldn't bring myself to undo it, even though I miss her sarcastic ass.

[–]DrCrygor 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

weird story, i went to the college of winterhold, did some of the quests, and then parted ways with Lydia in the dormitories. Ancano, who was in an adjacent room, decided that was as good a time as any to brutally murder her for no apparent reason. I was confused.

[–]Fjordo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm thinking that as.soon as you released her, she became a trespasser.

[–]DrFell 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I lost Lydia in Winterhold, defending it against those magic anomalies. I had no idea at the time though, as Phinis Gestor had promptly raised her as a zombie in the heat of battle. I looked on her in poignant despair, as she faded into non-existence.

I curse Phinis Gestor for his callous act, though take solace in the fact that even in death, she defended me.

[–]Nihilistic_Snail 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She also died on me. I half cleared out a dungeon filled with wizard cunts and was swiftly transported to Misty Grove as part of some inconsequential quest. Upon completing this tedious quest, I was promptly transported back to Skyrim, but my dear Lydia was nowhere to be found. Maybe she returned to my home in Whiterun? No. Perhaps she is in Dragonsreach, attending a formal dinner with the Jarl? No. I am stricken with both grief and anger. I know where she is. That dungeon was the last place Lydia stood by my side, she must be there. Was she slain by one of the wizards? I picture the worst case scenario in my mind.

As I frantically search the several bodies which decorated the dungeon's floor, I soon realise that Lydia isn't among them. What have they done with her? There is a dark hallway which I hadn't seen before. I wander into a room where I see a lone wizard laying in his bed. You bastard. What have you done with Lydia? Without hesitation, I unsheathe my harbinger of doom. "You will pay with your blood." I slay him in his sleep and soon-after search his room for evidence of Lydia's presence. Nothing.

I continue down this dark corridor, but I am not prepared for what I find. A wizard, laughing to himself, it was the most blood curdling laugh I have ever heard. He stood outside a cell. This cell was full of incinerated bodies. "You sick fuck." He sees me and laughs maniacally. "It was you, wasn't it? You took her!" Nothing more needed to be said; this monster will pay for what he has done. As I sprinted towards him, Skyforge steel in my hand, I thrust my blade into his torso. Sweet revenge. His limp body falls to the floor. I couldn't bring myself to enter that cell. All those bodies, so badly burnt that identification would be impossible. Lydia was in there. I just knew it. I could feel it. Her death had been avenged, but I'm still left with that empty feeling inside. Lydia, my love, you will never have to carry my burdens again.

[–]Cereo 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

She dies because you accidently hit her yourself when she has low health. It's hardly cheating, more like a bad mechanic in the game that she runs in blindly to melee and blocks your vision and your swing/magic might accidently take the last hit on her.

Abusing... psh, how high is that horse of yours?

Why do I always hear about Lydias dying??

Mine can get the shit kicked out of her by dragons, vampires, magical ghosts, etc. and the moment she's about to die she just kneels down and every enemy ignores her until she comes back. Is this a glitch or is my Lydia just a badass?

or maybe I just spoil her... I always make sure to give her my 2nd best armor/weapon hand-me-downs.

[–]Super_Fly_Ninja 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't even know what happened to her. I didn't pay much attention to her, she was kind of useless in fights, and she randomly disappeared for long stretches but would usually appear if I fast traveled.

It took me quite a while to realize I hadn't seen her in a while, so I'm just assuming she died while I was battling some bandits.

[–]Roaven 2 points3 points ago

I agree with your emphasis on the ALWAYS. Against my better judgment, I've stayed up an extra hour or two on a work night just to be on the surface when I saved. The map functionality is good, so you probably wouldn't get lost, but it really kills the immersion of the dungeon and oft-used mini story arc for each dungeon.

Get yourself into a routine for each type of game you play. In RPGs, I always save in the direction I need to go, and I sort my kit and everything before saving. The worst is itching to play while at work all day and getting home only to have to run around and sell loot and put books on bookshelves. I want to load and get right into the action.

I started doing this is games: instead of quitting during a frustrating part Id quit right before a good, exciting quest with all my shit laid out nice and neat so that next time I loaded the game, I was ready for some damn good gaming. Its made games a hell of a lot more fun for me!

Or if you don't want to do the work of selling then have a junk drawer in your house for when you have the time. I run there after every dungeon but only go on selling sprees every few hours.

Junk drawer is good, though with Elder Scrolls titles it can be tricky to move all your goods if you wait to long because of the cash limit on vendors.

I thought the only way she could die was if you killed her...?

I sacrificed her to the deadra shrine. Anyone else get rid of her that way?

[–]RimedWords 32 points33 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Since day one, I led her into my loft and locked her in the spare bedroom. It's kind of creepy when I'm looking for things in my chests and all of a sudden she makes a noise, or says "Huh?" out of nowhere.

So basically, I decorated my house with a half-wit slave. I just wish she would say "Hodor!" from time to time.

[–]Wizzoh 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I did the same, but grew tired of the noises and hauntings she provided, so I led her out into whiterun, under a discrete bridge, and asked her, politely, if she didn't much mind waiting there.

Problem solved, in my book.

She eventually gets tired of waiting, and comes back to your house. Most likely when you wake up and she's looking over you sleep.

She can die from creatures and other NPCs as well.

[–]forceflow2 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Somewhat. Like GreenENTity said, you can sacrifice her (haven't come upon this yet, only heard about it), but when she is near death she will yield and sit there and everything will stop attacking her. If there is an AoE attack/splash damage or you are behind her, she can get in the way of someone attacking you, she can die from that when in this state.

Reminds me of that hilarious guy who played drunk and massacred the whole world in Oblivion.

In relevant news, I logged in today to being assaulted by the whole town of Riften. I don't even know what I did. I jsut logged in and there were fifteen guards and people hitting me. I ran around trying to figure out what I did. Turned out, looking at my last 3 autosaves, that I was in Mistveil Keep. I entered only to find the sons of the Jarl dead on the floor. I...don't remember doing that. Last thing I did before going to bed was getting Dawnbreaker. I do not recall going to Riften and killing anyone before logging off. Did I really do all that in my drowsiness?

I spent a summer doing shrooms every saturday afternoon. The one thing I did every time was play Spiderman 2. I would jump off buildings and try and shoot webs at the last second before I hit the ground. Eventually I would just slowly rock back and forth at the end of a web rope listening to the people screaming for help below. Video games and drugs are fun, except Manhunt. Playing that while high was a mistake.

I like how magic in Lord of the Rings seems closer to the Thu'um than to regular Elder Scrolls magic. It's like Gandalf and Saruman and the Dragonborn shout abuse at the world until it gives up and mutters 'fine, breath fire if you want to, see if I care'.

[–]twentyfumble 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You must have never played Daggerfall. Daggerfall dungeons were huge labyrints were you could easily lose yourself for hours and hours and hours.

Skyrim "dungeons" are just long tunnels where you only have to go forward, kill everything and fetch the quest item with the big white arrow over it, after that a door will appear that will conveniently take you to the exit.

[–]TaLoNxNL 2 points3 points ago

WoW 4.3 patch came out on Tuesday. It is now Friday. I'm too intimidated to jump back into Skyrim because I'm afraid this is going to happen to me.

I'm going to forget how many houses I've already robbed in a village, how many wheels of cheese I've annoyingly dropped because it was too heavy, where to make all those potions I never use.

God forbid I forget which random house in which I've thrown all my miscellaneous expensive armor and jewelry nobody wants to buy.

I am reminded that the dungeons in Skyrim is kind of Moria-esque. You get lost in darkness and traps all the way, find a big 'showdown room' with a big baddie. Then suddenly, the exit.

It's kind of shocking just how well Tolkien's vision of a dungeon crawler game is pretty exciting to behold even to this day.

Haven't played Skyrim (I know...) but this is how I always felt with Fallout 3.
