Discuss Skyrim

I don't know why people are having trouble with the sound, the sound is the best I've ever experienced, especially in full 7.1, the mapping is perfect and the dialogue is spot on. I guess it's more optimised for surround sound.

Still another 3 weeks or so until I'm letting myself play this. If I play it now I might as well wave goodbye to my University degree, so waiting until I finish this term for Christmas and have 4 weeks off to play it.

See ya Lydia. She died during a Dragon fight.

Serves her right for getting glitch stuck somewhere yet again, and then 'appearing' right into the line of fire.

Hmmmm..... she hasn't died on me yet; in fact I thought she was invincible

Apparently if you accidentally hit her during a fight (when she's close to 'dying'), that's her death knell. NPC vs NPC - she gets back up. PC vs NPC, she don't.

I had so many sparks and flames/shouts going on I probably wiped her out



And I've had no issues with sound either. No major bugs encountered yet tbh. Then again I'm far behind in gameplay time by comparison and don't play for 'that long' at a stretch so I'm sure the treats are still in store...

A very wise idea

After I became leader of the "companions" You get to have about 8 more people as followers, so your not stuck with Lidia or anyone you have to pay for in the taverns. (plus,if you join the companions and do all there quests, you get some very cool surprises).

Also I had this dog as a follower for a while,but he can't carry anything for me, and barks at every living thing, so why have one...unless the dog could be like one of those in Dragon age, or maybe a wolf...

Also Have a look at this you tube video, it's about Skyrim, so it can be in this forum...i think

She does tend to get in your way though. I've also accidentally hit helpers, only to then be attacked by them. That makes me backup to a previous save less I kill my attacker

That was why I let her go. One too many stupid moves. Between running into the line of fire and ruining a good sneak, her cons outweighed her pros.

The game is rife with bugs, but nowhere near the show stoppers of New Vegas.

That could also be part of my 'luck'. I didn't encounter the real show stopper Vegas bugs until later because I was always off doing side quests. It was only when I went back to the main quest/areas that I noticed how bloody woeful some parts were.

Same with Skyrim. I don't think I've been to the 'crashy' areas yet...

No, I think it's possible for an NPC to kill her too. One time, I fast traveled the hell out of a location after a dungeon, and she wasn't with me. I went and got married, and on the wedding day her corpse was just inside the church. I guess nobody liked dead people at a wedding, so I got yelled at by all the people there (including the person I was going to marry and the priest).

lol, I heard about her corpse appearing at weddings, or she'll be lying dead inside a home.

Apparently she can also die from falls. Glitch deaths?

Either way she's still a nuisance in death as she was in life
