frustrated newbie intro

[bookmark55]

I like RPG games. Hate Shooters, sports, airplanes and cars--generally speaking.

My son-in-law gave me Skyrim. He is addicted to it and now I am too. He likes the caves or dungeons. I prefer to stay above ground

I am currently searching the internet for answers to my problems with Lydia--NOT DYING--she is alive and well but will not give me back apparel she has picked up (upon my command). Also I cannot give most things to her. I have to drop them and then have her pick them up.

She is probably over-burdened (carrying too much weight) Which is why you can't give things to her. As to why she won't give you items back... I don't have a clue. You can try checking out the help section: Skyrim Help | Skyrim Forums

And welcome to the forums bookmark! I hope to see you around!

Thank you sooooo much for your reply to my problem. I will try to find out about the overburdened issue. You are the 1st person to address my (unique??)problem. Everything I have encountered, until you, has been aimed at Lydia dying. That seems to be the only problelm anyone has with her(except of course the getting in the way thing). I am going to have a sandwich for supper so I will have more time to try to unbruden and de-complex Miss Lydia! Thanks again.

oOo that's good to know! I'm a newbie to, just wanted to say hi and welcome =)

Hey, at least you still have Lydia. Lost her fighting that dark elf necromancer in the family tomb quest...

 

[LadySapphira]

I'm afraid of losing lydia so I haven't used her yet haha she'd probably die the first dragon we met. Now that I got my house I'll use her soon I think, was using her as storage before

 

[DraconicMajesty]

And to make matters worse, I found another companion, and got them killed pretty quickly as well. Gods I suck at this...

And I chucked away 500 gold from my house fund on some training that really wasn't worth the cash. Yeah, this is the guy who sold his own armour...

Greetings and cheers, Bookmark55! Welcome to the time-sink known as Skyrim. Have fun with the game and forums. Sad to say, Lydia died on me, too. If you want an ass-kicking follower who won't/can't die, go after Mjoll the Lionness who hangs out in Riften. Do her quest to retrieve her sword, Grimsever, and she'll become your follower. I married her so I get the double treat of follower and spouse. Woo Hoo!

No sign of Lydia at Whiterun Hall of The Dead - a lost cause, methinks.

P.S. Got my house...!
