So tonight, I decided to try this dead is dead business.. To make a long story short I was just recently nabbed by the imperials.. escaped from them and now trying to figure out what I'm going to do since all the borders are closed. I met up with this woman, Uthgerd.. I whooped her butt so she decides she wants to follow me. Well I had to go into this Barrow of some sort for a claw so I decide I'll get her to help me out.

Wow she's tough, one hitting everything it seems. Well we got about part way through this barrow. I see a trap, a pressure plate on the ground. The trap itself is obvious enough, there's a big gate with spikes along the wall for crying out loud. Uthgerd... I don't know what she was doing. I figure if you're following someone you'd follow their footsteps. I hear this crash and a cry. I look forward to make sure nothing is coming then turn around to help her.... out? I don't remember a draugr being there, please it's got to be a dead draugr laying limp on the ground. Nope, it's Uthgerd... dead. Unbroken, yeah right. She's dead.

So now, playing dead is dead... I can't go back. I let her lay there, taking her armor and anything of value. Oh well.

Yep thats what happens when you play dead is dead.

A lot of less honorable DiDs kill her on purpose for the early steel plate, since she's so easy to beat at brawling as a Khajiit.

I feel kinda bad, she wanted to come watch me kick the tar out of some trolls. I take her into a deep dark hole.. and she gets swatted like a fly.

I like this dead is dead thing though. I'll definitely do it on a few characters I think.
