I played a little bit of Skyrim when it first released, but never got far with it. I decided to give it a go again recently. Lydia has been constantly in my way or blowing my cover. Line up a sneak bow shot? Walks in front of me or nudges my reticle off the target. I kept her around to haul my stuff around and as a human shield. Then, after a particularly difficult fight ended, she walked over and nudged me off a cliff. So I re-did the challenging fight and immediately re-saved. That’s when I realized she must have wandered in front of me (AGAIN) and I must have killed her during the fight. I fast traveled back to Whiterun, dropped all my stuff and went back to loot her corpse for the stuff she was holding for me. All missing. The save before that was hours of play, so I decided to continue with her dead.

So are all the other available followers the same way? Because this might be a solo playthrough for me.
