Skyrim. R.I.P. Companions.

[Jimmy T. Malice]

R.I.P. J'zargo, presumed dead by Draugr Deathlord. He got in the way of the Deathlord's Ice Form shout and saved me. That said, I'm not sure he's actually dead. He might have got stuck on a rock again.

He died before that fighting Magic Anomalies and got resurrected by a Winterhold Conjurer, but I reloaded that save and left him in the College.

 

[Unforeseen]

R.I.P. Lydia, KIA in defense of Whiterun against the Stormcloaks.

 

[Hunter Spakes]

RIP Stray Dog - I found you randomly and told you returned home. Instead you went and attacked a spider.

RIP Lucien - well its not like i can't call your soul back so why not take on that saber cat

RIP Lydia - Your social life will be well missed for now your damned to make me sandwiches in the kitchen where you belong

RIP Ciecero - Your jokes started to bore me

This thread was not supposed to be this popular..... I never asked for this....

[triggrhappy94]

RIP Barbas.
He went back to his boneyard in Oblivion. Survived dungeons and dragons, but not a deadric shrine.

 

[Trig0n]

R.I.P. Maurice. You never got to see the eldergleam sanctuary.

Granted, it probably would have been a better idea to stay back and let me handle that three-way fight between a giant and a dragon, but still, hell of a way die.

You annoying unarmed french bastard.

This exact same thing.

Ok tahts creepy... same here. Yay for giant/dragon magnet?

 

[circularlogic88]

R.I.P. legitimately bought horse. For 1000 Gold, I thought you could handle a 2 foot drop.

R.I.P. stolen horse. Ok, I swear that cliff came out of nowhere. Although admittedly you were more useful by virtue of the fact that your corpse somehow cushioned my fall.

R.I.P. Orthorn.
You shouldn't have stolen those stupid books and fought with the Caller. Also, I'm still puzzled how you got out of your cell without me pulling the lever... and blatantly telling you to rot there.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

RIP Borgakh the Steel Heart.

Died fighting a death knight draugr champion, the last guardian of Hevnoraak.

Distracted the knight so I could wear it down further, took a power attack from an ebony warhammer and died for me, died in my stead. Damn, it was such a great ending, such a hard struggle, I just had to continue.

 

[Miranda Lloyd]

RIP stray dog, really sorry about that, but what do you expect loitering in the woods, looking exactly like a wolf...

RIP first horse, always eager to get in fights, it got to the point where I had to leave you far from battle, but that obviously wasn't enough... Was it the frost spider that got you while I was sneaking into Goldenglow? or the dragon that swooped in seconds later? We'll never know.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

RIP 500 gp Markath dog. You didn't do much but bark annoyingly, until you distracted a powerful ice witch, died from massive cold damage, but helped us carry the day.

End result? Now blood-kin of the orcs.

 

[lVl477]

RIP Stray Dog: died on the ascent to High Hrothgar during a fight with an ice troll.
RIP horse: left outside as I went into a dungeon, came back to find him dead with TWO dead saber cats next to him... not sure if they killed each other or if something killed them all.

 

[craftomega]

R.I.P. Horse 1, this is why you dont run away from me during a dragon attack.
R.I.P. Horse 2, This is why you dont attack a dragon with out me.
R.I.P. Stray dog, you survived a whole dungeon with me, only to be killed by a random bandit that came out of no where.
R.I.P. Maiq The Lier, Getting Rid of mystisism is NOT pratical.
R.I.P. War Hound, Why wold you run off to attack a giant when he is not attacking us?
R.I.P. Merc 1, Ok tip, when i say WAIT HERE i mean it traps tend to hurt.
R.I.P. Merc 2, REALY 5 minutes is all you survive before you jump off a cliff?

I took Lydia out for a spin, and she held her own pretty well. She got dumped when I couldn't take her on a Companions quest, and I never got around to picking her up again.

But I'm still pretty sure I'm never gonna let a follower die and keep going. If Lydia died, I'd reload. And after that guy with the tree quest (Maurice?), even if it's a temporary follower, I'll reload because he ended up being important to the quest.

 

[Slash Dementia]

My horse disappeared when I talked to a skooma dealer. We got attacked right after I talked to him and dispatched the enemy really fast, but my horse is no where to be found. Also, I don't really bring companions unless it's a Falmer-killing quest.

I was watching my brother play the game and he went to a giant's camp with Lydia. Lydia just ran up to the giant and started attacking with her sword, then the giant smacked her down. After taking Lydia out of the game, the giant went after my brother, regretted it and turned around to face Lydia, who was knelt on the ground. The giant lifted his foot and brought it down on her, killing her instantly. It was the best death I've seen.

 

[MultiElford]

R.I.P all zombies that I conjured and treated horribly (fireball'd their face when I didn't need them anymore)
They were companions in my books

 

[purf]

From this thread alone, I'm leaving Lydia at home now.

...while I start to think she needs to leave the house more often. What is she doing anyways, mostly sitting in my bedroom? Sniffing the sheets while I'm out?

RIP Stray Dog, not understanding the importance of Stealth. You were a fine companion while I was walking from here to over there. (Well, actually I used the F9 of resurrection a couple of times. The dog is cool.)

 

[Mirror Cage]

RIP, that guy in Markarth who agreed to follow me for a beer.
Boethia found your sacrifice acceptable.

 

[kasperbbs]

R.I.P. my horsie, i didnt think that that cliff was that high..
