Why are people so cruel to Lydia? : V - Skyrim

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:44 am

Because she is useless as a companion and her voiced lines are painfully annoying.

Cruel? She's living in MY house, reading all MY books I bring there. She's got it pretty good.

She also lives my my house "Breeze home" despite the fact I've got Annekka as a follower, I guess being....

Spoiler

thane means I can never be rid of her

Ugh she spends all her time in my bedroom. GTFO [censored]! You have your own room, eat your food in there!

haha +1

Sorry I married Aela the Huntress but I make Lydia follow me because I do not care if she dies.

For example:

I personally think Lydia is cool and she tries to do her best to protect you and even die for you. Why do people like to make fun of her?

Obviously because he is intelligent, and a good player; did you notice in the video he has 5 dragon souls and 2 yet unlocked shouts?

I like her a lot. Maybe it's due to my RPing, but I kinda grew on her before she died :sadvaultboy:
Her death was quite sad in my game.

She has died many times over the few weeks I've been playing. Last time was yesterday when a frost atronach hit her by accident (It was Esbern who summoned it) she got rid of the atronach then charged against Esbern (while I was trying to separate them) needless to say Esbern killed Lydia, all this while that wandering guy (the one that could teach you some speech skills) was passing by to what he said something like "That was quite unique".

I killed Esbern in revenge, luckily I had saved just seconds before.

All in all I know Lydia is thick, and annoying when you're in a dungeon, but I quite like her. I have her a dragon scale armor, just like mine, a cool sword and bow. But she keeps changing to that lame Iron shield, although I removed it from her inventory!

She ate my sweet roll. Nuff said, off with her head.

I am sworn to carry your burdens really gets to me... and the tone of her voice when she says it? GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*Fireball to face*

Why are people cruel to Lydia? Because she's there, basically. It's an open-ended game, and she's one of the first followers that you can get. Do we need a better reason?

I hang out with Kharjo. We chill out, down brewskies and slaughter bandits. Lydia's useless.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:35 am

Because she never leaves my room in Breezehome, even when I'm sleeping. Unless, of course, I take her on as a companion and force her to stay in another room. Trying to lock her out does nothing, she'll just subvert the lock. It's creepy as hell.. :ahhh:

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 2:52 am

well if you don't like her then just DONT TAkE HER AS A FOLLOWER!! its completely optional to take her. But if you do, then please TREAT HER WITH RESPECT!

I think I'll kindly refuse your offer, and Ice Form her down the Throat of the World again. :wink_smile:
I mean most NPC's that bug me end up in a ditch somewhere with a slit throat, at least tumbling down a mountain as a block of ice would be a unique way to go.

LEAVE LYDIA ALONE! SHE HASN'T HURT ANYBODY!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I was going to do that in my last post, but then I didn't. :shrug:

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 2:43 am

She sounds a lot like Margaret from Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About.

If you hade the choice to let her live or not live in your house. Its my damn house and she dosent do anything to improve it. Except trying to kill me when i bring here with me, but thats maybe her point of view to improve the house

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:48 am

So kids are just treating her like the adoring fan, big deal or maybe they just not know what to do with a hot girl that follows them around oh snap! :whistling:

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:00 am

D; poor Lydia. I like Lydia

she gave me an Axe for being her friend, so nice. I put it on display ^_^

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:16 pm

Lydia's gone now. She...uhhh...she went to live with a really nice family. **shifty eyes** In the country! Did I mention they have a farm? Lydia can run freely over the fields and frolic all day long now. With that really, really nice family. In the country. On a farm.

The Jarl of Whiterun had the same problem he couldnt get rid of her

finally he find a svcker "oh lets make him Thane and give him Lydia" we solved all his problems

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:04 am

Personally? Because she's pushed on you without your permission, as is becoming a Thane of Whiterun. Really? My Altmer is going to be made a Thane in the elf-hating north?

I hate her because she sits in that one chair in my house all day, 24/7, watching me sleep. There's no "go back to the castle" option, there's no privacy in Breezehome until she's dead, so I kill her (or never buy the house).

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:25 am

I want to know why there's so many threads about Lydia when there seems to be an incredible amount of companions. I guess she could be the first one you get, although I had a couple before her.
