Lydia will sneak around with you sometimes, but she's seen so much easier which makes her attack.

Also Beowulf (Far more epic than anyone) travels with companions. A lonely quest is pointless if no one can see your awesome adventures unfold.

Also Lydia can die everywhere anytime. The only way she can't die is by Traps, I've tried and having her as a follower for more than 110+ hours. If your follower falls behind he or she has a very slim chance of dying, I myself haven't seen it yet even though I've ditched many, many battles from Giants up to 2 ancient Dragons and Lydia stayed and numerous times have I thought she died, I would wait and hour than another hour, than I was like "fuck it, I'm going" So I left and witout notice she was behind me, I'm guessing she either escaped just nearly or killed the enemy or just simply teleported to me. The only follower that doesn't die is Barbas the stupid fucking dog.

Also it levels up Alteration and Restoration a lot if you keep Healing Other and using Courage on her.

I think the reason why some of you guys haven't seen Lydia die because enemies sometimes stop attacking her when she goes on her knee and aim for you. Also when you're in cover from an arch mage and Lydia is going full force at the guy with bad ass Ice Spikes she WILL die. to be honest I haven't seen Lydia get killed by a dragon, maybe 2 would do the trick because she always heals when they dragon flies off after attacking.

WHAT? I want the dark dungeons to happen. Then the dungeons aren't so uniform and we'll have somewhat of a challenge with a little scare in between :d.
I'm back and stuff, it's probably temporary.

.....Your followers can't die unless you kill them. Surprised you didn't notice this after 110 hours of gameplay

Yea but hostiles usually lay off of them when a companion admits defeat


Are you an artist and want to make a decent amount of TC? Check out this thread.
Lydia standing between me and a fucking badass fire Wizard or something like it and she's taking a crapload of fireballs on her, and she is on her knees and she didn't die.
Yeah
It's All About Expansion
followers can die,
it happens rarely because enemies stop attacking them when they are down,

two of my followers died on me, and I did not kill them
one was killed by a dragon and the other died when guards attacked him during the dwemer museum mission for the thieves guild.
wishful eyes deceive me
I put it to the test, yeah followers can die, but it mainly happens if a spell or an arrow hits them, since enemies won't intentionally attack her things like crouching behind her body and an arrow hitting her finishes her off, same with spells and melee :P I'm a Goddamn Myth Buster xD
Yeah I got her killed by spamming Fireballs @ Krosis. She was taking aggro and I believe Fireballs is an AoE spell
