HI, many time I lost Lydia, but she come back after a long peroid of time. but this time she never came back. When I do find her, she is stuck and she just keeps running? I look all over in the place other recommend and I know she is not dead. I ask other companion to follow me and they say you have a follower.
I beleive the developers should have a command that will make any companion appear with all that they had. Or fix this situation, thanks for listening..:>)
It happend to me too a couple of days ago. I faught a mage and Lydia was in on the battle in the beginning. Then after the battle she was just gone, but came running after a few minutes. I think she must have spotted some other enemy and gone after it.
Sometimes she gets stucked and have problems following. There is a particular steep road in the mountains far to the east where she couldn't follow me, and had to take a long route around.
