Yes, it also stacks with dual wield damage perks, sword damage perks and power attack damage perks. 1500 is just the beginning but you have to be sneaking and most big fights have more than a single ennemy at a time.

So Lydia just died in a epic fight against a dragon. I didnt realize til after i quicksaved and didnt want to load an old save for 3 hours ago.
Im all alone now, but i have this horse called Frost.
However, Frost tends to suddenly charge in on the enemy and start killing them all lol.
Earlier today it came while fighting a dragon and tanked it for 10 minutes while i killed it.
Anybody else have this "problem" ?
Got the horse early in the game during a quest. I'm pretty sure companions only die if the main character kills them, which means you killed her. You're evil. :[ Not true....I was having a devil of a time killing an Arch Electrocutioner (I play 1-handed + shield + heavy armor, with no electric resistance, slamming potions Diablo 1 style and Sprint Shouting around like a madman), and after the fight Lydia was dead, in a place I was never anywhere near. I saw her kneeling down early on in the fight, but the next time I checked on her she was very dead. So I went back and picked up the archer elf dude again. At least he can ground dragons for me so I can whack them to death. =/
Oh. I've never had her die on me yet even though I regularly use her as a block for the larger mobs, where she's just kneeling in a tunnel to block their way in so I can arrow/magic them to death. And just give her a bow and an arrow and she'll use that on dragons as well; one arrow is enough for infinite copies.

lol I had to turn it to 9999 because I went to this dwarf dungeon and hell, the dwarf metals are so damn heavy.

like I said with the Nocturnals Cloak ability even bigger group fights are no problem because you can go invis as often as you want while it's active

Do note that turning it into each person wields you a different type of Star (regular one for creature souls, black one for humanoid souls).

I did that too once but it kept resetting each time I log in to play so I just learned to deal with not picking everything up in exchange for using the console to get some extra gold.

That's alright. I'd rather have a kickass mage companion that summons shit and blows shit up, who I can equip with dragon armor.

Totally random question: Does anyone know of a way to make an updating image that shows whether a site is on- or offline?
Kinda like http://www.isup.me/www.skyrimnexus.com - just with an image as a result so I can add it into the skyrim modding thread?
Would be pretty awesome, since I'm F5ing myself all day to check what's new >_<

I got a question:
I joined the thieves guild, did a couple of missions and now I'm at the point where I'm about to start the kaliah mission. The problem is that Tanalia or whatever the fence is called is expecting me to bring her thieves guild gear so she can upgrade it - the problem is I sold all that gear cuz I got better stuff. Now I don't only get my upgraded gear I also lost my fence, what do?
Where do I get thieves guild gear from? Do I get some if I kill kaliah?, because I haven't done so yet. Help TT.

Can't you just go to the merchant you sold it to and get it back? And I wouldn't kill Kaliah if you want to continue with that storyline.

That's the other thing I was forgetting. 6x damage with a bow, and that's after 2x damage from perks/items, so it's 12x kekeke

There are potions that increase capacity for 5 minutes, and there are several items, and a perk, but I don't think there's a spell.

They bind souls to soul gems, which are used to restore charges on enchanted weapons.

The problem is I sold it to Tanalia and I can only trade with her if I give her something to upgrade first (plus I checked without activating the kaliah quest and she doesn't have it anymore). Am I fucked?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Conjuration spells that summon a sword, etc..
To answer him, I guess they would be good if you need to melee and don't have a physical weapon on hand? I'm unsure if the damage is affected by 1h skill or the Conjuration skill, if it's the latter then it would make more sense for pure mages trying to melee.

So is everyone using a follower? I've been just going alone since I feel like followers would just get in the way with their AI. So now whenever I go to my house in whiterun theres lydia just sitting there on a chair by my bed, it's wierd.
