Lydia, my dear, please stop with the accusatory tone. The shield isn't THAT heavy and you're not even pregnant!

LOL. Now there is a burden to have to carry.

This is one of the reasons I dumped Lydia. LOL

my two followers so far:

Svendar - "Sure, I'll carry your coin"

Aela (may she RIP) - "What do you want to take"

I always did like Aela.

I just got mercurio thinking i would get rid of that... what do i get?

"i'm not your mule! I'm not going to... oh fine, but be quick about it!"

I think mercurio will be filling my black soul gem as his head rolls down the floor.

Is it just me or is the lovely Lydia a weak follower combat wise? Every time I turn around she's taking a knee.

I'll tell ya who is beast:

Mjoll the Lioness

I don't believe violence towards women is ever acceptable; I have to preface this statement, obviously.

"I am sworn to carry your burdens." -Lydia

"You shut your pie hole and do what your told, or I'm gonna crush your skull into a bowl-full of jelly!" -What I think every time I hear this.

I can't wait to dump her. So annoying, I can't hardly stand it.

This.

She swings a massive 2-handed axe and guts people. It doesn't get any better then that.

I married her. A girl after my own heart.

Although if her wimpy friend doesn't make himself scarce real soon his head may accidentally get seperated from his neck.

This so called Thane Lydia is one of the worst devellopment failures beth ever made imo , saying I will protect you with my Life is indeed very literaly ment by her

Lets hope they fix this Grrrr

I've never seen Aerin so upset before! The forums really get to him.

I have only had two followers so far. Onmund, college Nord kid, has a much much better attitude.

Just be sure Mjoll isn't around when you off the punk. I hear she'll leave you if she knows you cancelled his contract.

My little Breton sneak thief gal is also in wedded bliss with Mjoll. She is swinging her glass sword (Grimsreaver) while sporting full enchanted Ebony Armor (no helmet), an ebony shield and an ebony bow.

She is fricken BEAST and the perfect tank for my little light armor, bow/dagger thief.

Their level is based upon when you gain them as a follower. They do not level up with you. So followers you pick up later in the game are tougher than your first followers.

And why exactly isn't she pregnant yet? Are you treating her like a person and respecting her wish to not be violated? That's no way to treat a housecarl.

Lydia sounds so annoyed when she says that.If she is so unenthused by the thought of carrying our stuff, then why did she become a housecarl? Maybe she should've became a merchant instead.
