ADVENTURES WITH LYDIA (aka "CARL" to those of you who watched Mangg's Let's Play)I was answering the Greybeards' summons, slowly working my way from Whiterun to Ivarstead. Made a quick pit-stop by a waterfall to collect some ingredients and Lydia pipes up "Hmmm... a cave. I wonder what's inside?". I had some extra time so I thought why not. Upon entering we're greeted by a charnel house of gored bodies and skeleton parts.
"I have a bad feeling about this" Lydia and I state in
absolutely perfect harmony.
THE SPEAR OF THE GODSLydia and I were in a crypt battling a sizable force of draugr. Lydia was taking on an Overlord while I was swarmed by regulars. I thought I had Unrelenting Force selected, so I had planned on blasting them out of my way and running to aid Lydia. Evidently I had the speed shout equipped instead. Shot across the room in a split second, smashing right into the back of the Overlord. Since I was clicking like mad, I ended the sprint with a last reflexive click... only to execute a one-handed finishing move. Blade rammed through the back exploded out the front of the Overlord's chest, just an inch away from Lydia's face. The whole sequence couldn't have been more than 1 second.
