No really, my evening was one of epic proportional epicnes. So, I figured I'd share.
Esbern and I take off from Riften and head to Riverwood. Like the ADD Dunmer I am, I see something "shiny" off in the distance and immediately become ethereal and jump to the bottom of the valley, leaving poor Esbern, who is unable to calculate jumps and maneuver between pebbles, lost on the road, to investigate. I find that what I saw in the distance is none other than a frost dragon, which, I slay. After the battle, I try to make my way back to Esbern, and fail. I was kinda lost, but not really. I mean, I knew where I was, just not where I had come from. While searching, I see Aela the Huntress fighting a bear, so, I help. She's with Mjoll the Lioness. I decide, lets see what happens if I ask her to join me, she does! Right away I fill her backpack with all my useless crap and begin backtracking, again. I find Esbern! He starts following me too! OK, great, so we set off to Riverwood, me on horseback, them not. We get there and meet with Delphine. After said meeting, Esbern, Mjoll, Delphine, and I set off to Karthspire. Somehow, Mjoll and I lose Esbern and Delphine somewhere around the fields of Whiterun. Shi*. Well, we trek on. (If you can't tell, I don't generally fast travel. I heard It kills children.) Finally, in the camps just outside Karthspire, there are Esbern and Delphine, already entrenched in battle with a clique of bandits. When the battle ended, I felt compelled to tell my story, and so I just did.

I ran with Mjoll, Esbern and Delphine for a while but dont ya just get sick of Delphine and the repetition of, 'Lead on to skyhaven temple' This was the only time i ever got lag in game.

To be honest yes, that was annoying! Especially when she'd say it 5 seconds later, and then again. As far as lag, I haven't had any lag whatsoever in my game. I'm about 98 hours in so far. Not sure of my save file size, though.

Even with all the moaning from Delphine, did you notice she was always the one bringing up the rear when you were going anywhere. Also stealth goes right out the window as neither of the blades will sneak. There a bit too 'Leeroy Jenkins' for my type of combat style.
Ive got over 300 hours - 14MB Save.

Yeah, at first when I lost them I was kinda upset that my party got smaller, but then I was actually able to sneak again which was cool. Oh, and I made a mistake. It isn't Mjol in my party, it's Njada Stonearm.

Nice to see somebody else enjoying the game instead of just complaining about it! ( And, yes, I am on PS3)

Mostly you dont hear us over all the whinging wailing blubbering and rattle throwing thats going on. We may be a rare breed on this forum but we are here

May the divines watch over your battles.

The only issues I encountered aren't worth mentioning because this game just shines. The issues that I did express, were done in the technical issues part of the forum and solely for the benefit of the developers and other players. I just hit my 100 hour mark last night and am still amazed at how this game is consistently performing in such an exemplary manner.

As well as yours

On the road we got into a fight, and somehow Esbern conjured an atronach that I didn't notice. I got scared of it and attacked it. It didn't like that. Game over

Simply scout the area before hand and fast travel, or tell them you'll meet them there and they shouldn't follow. Don't know how that would affect the fight in Karthspire tho. (I think thats an option.) If you don't want to fast travel, you can climb on top of the entrance, drop down and dash inside. Also, that mage on the far side is a royal jerk. Earned herself a good Fus-Ro-Dah.
