Since my ps3s hard drive kicked the bucket a couple of weeks ago (saved my skyrim files to the cloud thank god) I've been playing on the Xbox. I was inspired by my friend who goes around with shadowmere, barbas, Cicero with a staff of summon storm atronach, and himself summoning two dremora lords making himself a little army. I made Balthazar the Breton Mage. He's level 17 now and I've lost Lydia. Here's the deal.
I wanted to fill the grand soul gem I had in my inventory so Lydia and I went to the giants' camp west of whiterun but a dragon attacked, turning the giants and mammoths hostile. We dispatched the dragon but I had to run for my life from the rampaging giants and their wooly pets as I discovered I wasn't strong enough to take them all on yet. I used all of my magicka and stamina potions and simply pegged it back to whiterun where with the help of the guards the giants were felled. It was than that I realised Lydia wasn't around. I trekked back to the camp but found no body. I picked the chest nearby and found meridians beacon to my surprise. It was at this time that I absorbed the dragon soul that in the commotion I hadn't realised I never received. I turned around to find no dragon bones. The dragon skeleton was not there, how bizarre. I was extra miffed because I had literally just given Lydia a staff of summon frost atronach. I accepted her death and returned to the mages college to recruit J'zargo but he says I already have someone following me. I travelled back to whiterun and checked in Dragonsreach and breezehome but Lydia was not there, I waited for two weeks and rechecked but still no Lydia. I've scoured the giants camp site as well as the trail I blazed back to whiterun but no sighting. The whole point of this character was to end up with a mini army which requires a follower. Now I can't find Lydia (and hence can't dismiss her) and I can't take on new followers because she's apparently still alive and following me, where the hell is she? I really hope some stupid bug hasn't rendered the idea behind this character null and void.
Any ideas people?
