sigh... i just died using a high elf mage level 18 dead is dead rules on master mode character last night...questing for the elder scrol in blackreach... first i watched in horror as my companion lydia while i used healing hands on her and a summoned flame antronach died in a ruthless assult by a gang of falmers i was saddened and almost hypnotised watching her lifeless body in her shiny new blades armour... then they the snow elfs came and ended my mysery before i could escape.. but iam glad i died because if lydia had died and i lived then i would have been haunted by her death for the rest of my character.... what did i learn from this .. never send a companion with low armour ratings in alone against falmers ...
