She's at my Whiterun home.....FOREVER!

Dead in some fort or cave, I believe.

It might even be funny if half the time she didn't hurt me as well by walking into a trap that I dodged.

I killed her once by accident in that same dungeon. We had gotten separated, I entered the next room, avoided the pressure plate that triggered the spikes that came shooting out of the wall, and moved forward. She comes running up behind, hits the trap and gets knocked down to near zero health, causing me to spin around and hit her with a dual-wielded Flames shot before I realized she wasn't some Draugr that was sneaking up behind me.

I toyed with the thought of just leaving her there, but then I would have had to come back and haul all the crap she was carrying back home myself, and she was nearly full. So I reloaded ...

Yeah, that's happened to me quite a few times. Now I use the "speedy" dragon shout to get out of the way sometimes... Veronica was actually much, much worse for causing me injuries: lost count of the number of doctor's bags I'd need to lug about to repair broken limbs when I had her in tow.

Unlike seemingly most people I actually like Lydia, though I also agree with her usefulness as a pack horse! Okay, a very moany pack horse. :laugh:

Dead. Murdered. Maimed... how else can I put it?

Sadly, rotting hidden in a room in the Mara temple, as she was so loyal even in death she decided to attend my wedding . Had to make apologies for her presence, hide her and do over, heh.

Sitting upstairs in my house in Whiterun.
Wearing her basic armour.
Holding a set of dwemer armour that she refuses to wear for longer than 5 minutes....

Left her in Whiterun, I dont like her

Dead in Orphan Rock, a hagraven blew her to bits with a fireball about 30 minutes after she joined my adventure.

I stripped her of her useful items and left her there face down.

These days I travel around with Borgakh the Steel Heart, an infinitely cooler female Orc warrior. She's a damn aggro magnet and can take some punishment, perfect for my mage.

I take back all the mean things I said about her. I begrudgingly let her come out with me, and she fought a dragon with me very bravely. She moaned about having to carry its scales and bones after, so she's not perfect, but it's getting there. I wish she'd keep up though, she keeps stopping to pick flowers and look at the clouds.

I've lost count of the number of times I've had to use the magic incantation "prid a2c94; moveto player" to summon her from her flower-picking pastime! :laugh:

This is where mine died as well. Not in Alftand itslef, but you know where. I went "oh shinny" and walked off towards a , didn't notice she had drawn agro and never actually knew where she went. I had to finish the level without her wondering where she went. I used the script command to teleport to her dead body latter only to find her laying in between about four different mobs of enemies. She stood no real chance.

Plus I've killed her "ghost" a number of times and I currently happen to kill uflien a number of times when she is stupid and runs ahead of my already moving arrow.

She died somewhere....

Standing in Dragonsreach, serving as a storage container for unique items every time I come by.

Running about with me

yeah, my Lydia is sitting in Breezehome in my bedroom. I left her waiting for me outside Jarvaskarrarrarrarr (eh, whatever the name is) when I did my companion join up. When that crazy course of events concluded, I found myself far from Whiterun; instead of going back, I went on; hired a merc. Just got back over there to drop off some dragon bones and she was up in my bedroom eating a sweetroll. Sheesh. What a life.

Dead...Killed by a Troll...

No...Im not kidding...

She has just disappeared in my new game. She's taken the good loot she was carrying sold it off and left Whiterun.

she died in the very first dungeon i took her with be because she ran into my fireball...many days later, after the assault on windrun, her corpse suddenly turned up in my house there in her own room...that creeped me out

Rotting in some pit with her throat slit. She couldn't fight for s---.

I had to kill her when I had just got her. I was trying to join the companions by fighting that dude, but she joined in the fight and everytime she hit the dude he healed and would say "no fair fight on your own and sheathed his sword"

But I couldn't get lydia to stop fighting no matter what. And the companions just ignored lydias attacks.

So she had to go just so i could progress.

She's at my home taking care of my wife, then when I get Home I take care of both, you know what I'm sayin'? you know what I'm sayin'???? you don't..huh?

Lying dead somewhere in the fields outside Whiterun. That's where I killed her I think.

I couldn't stand her always being in my house even after my character got married and moved in with the hubby. So yeah, I took her out and boom.

Bottom of the water in Nchuand-Zel. Not entirely certain how she got there...

I don't know who started this dumb rumor but I'm tired of reading it. Lydia and other followers will die at the enemies hands entirely. I'm a melee warrior and was in another room when Lydia died, as well as when that old nord hag died. No way did my steel touch either of them, yet they were dead. First they get knocked down but if the AI cannot reach the player they will target your knocked down comrades and FINISH them off for good.

Back on topic... after Lydia died, the old nord hag, I tried about 3 other companions (mercs, etc) I missed Lydia so I respawned her. She's with me on my non stormcloak missions, and waits at my house when I go to war.
