I end up messing around while on the road, particularly by reanimating goats and frost-spiders. (I used it to level up my conjuration, but now it's mainly for fun, especially since I haven't gotten the hang of undead Thralls.) Undead Horkers flopping hilariously after the Dovahkiin, hiding their face when idle... it's unsettlingly adorable. I just have to wonder that in whatever future history books Skyrim has, my character well may be less known for being the Dragonborn than "the one Arch-Mage with a habit of performing questionable conjuration spells on goats".
Lydia venting her frustrations (as the most put-upon woman in Skyrim) in a spectacular manner is usually great, as long as she doesn't mess up my shot (she usually does) or ruin a sneak-kill.
Favorite moment: walking up to a frost troll Lydia shot down and finding the arrow not only sticking out of it's backside, but riiight in the troll's butthole. ...Wow. Maybe it's time to give her a breather and drag Marcurio or Derk across Skyrim instead?
My roomie plays Skyrim very differently than I do (read: basically a female Cicero, complete with dual-wielded daggers "Sharp" and "Pointy"), and I remember a guard trying to arrest her at the bottom of the bay near Solitude. How he would have carted her off to jail whilst they were underwater, I have no freaking clue.
So I've usually ignored Alteration, and thus today was the first time I have seriously used the Detect Life spell. I was wandering around the landscape near Lakeview Manor using it as I wanted to do some casual level up, and suddenly saw a red smear lurking behind some rocks. It was the first time I'd seen a red smear instead of blue smear.
I'd read on a loading screen enemies were displayed differently from friends, so I quickly cast Ironflesh, summoned a Frost Atronauch, conjured a bound bow, put some poison on it, cast muffle on myself, and crept over to get the drop on this enemy.
It was a fox.
Thats the most iv laughed all day!! Hahahaaa good job, you show them foxes whos boss
1st of all, welcome to our mad lil community
2nd. If your into undead and especially thralling than check out THE thrall thread (its the one with 1300replies in skyrim general discussion, id post a link but im on a tablet so its too difficult)
3rd. Although its a highly debatable topic, Lydia is good follower but there may be others out there that compliment your game style better so experiment!
It just started happening to me too. So far it's happened in every city except Solitude. Apparently they either don't care of don't know just what a closet bad guy I am (apparently it's while I'm sleep walking, since I don't remember doing anything to make them so mad!).My WTF moment happened in Whiterun. I'd just started a new game and was casually strolling into Whiterun on my way to tell the Jarl about Helgan. The guards at the gate did their usual interogation and what not before letting me in. Then I proceeded to do the normal things like talk with the Battle-born guy, buy some stuff, sell some stuff, and otherwise, behave myself. I did nothing that would have caused the guards to attack me. Finally arriving at Dragons Reach, I go inside and walk up the stairs. Ireleth drew her sword as usual but what wasn't usual, was that every guard in the room also drew their swords and ran at me screaming bloody murder! Being only a low level, I sure wasn't gonna take on that many guys so I bailed only to find that every guard outside was gunning for me too! On my way out of the city, dodging guards the whole while, I even spotted Balgruf himself chasing me! I got away eventualy and the next time I went back to Whiterun, everybody was completely chill, as though nothing had ever happened...
Weird.
