A valid argument in my opinion :p Solution: substitute sleep with caffeine and sugar, eating six meals per solar day. Play Skyrim at night, work during the day. Problem solved. It also helps to be an insomniac. | ||

Is there a better tanky companion in Whiterun or around then Lydia? I am playing a Mage. I put Lydia in a whole suit of flawless Elven armor and gave her flawless Star forge steel axe and a superior Dwarven shield. She still gets defeated in every dungeon where there are more then 2-3 opponents. I am sorry to quote myself but nobody answered my questions. | ||

This isn't true, I've had a couple companions (including Lydia) die to strong/semi-strong creeps if left unattended. Giants can one shot your companions, but I've seen them die to more standard variations of enemies as well. I haven't noticed any pattern but I'm guessing maybe they are killable when in their 'wounded' state, so if for some reason the attacking mob doesn't switch aggro to you, the companion may be killed. Not sure though, all I know is they can die without it being by your own hand. | ||

Dunno if she died or I forgot her or something but I can't find her  | ||

If they are downed like over 3 times in short succession they dead. really? i remember a lighning mage which one shotted me and i had to be super lucky to kill it. he however downed my follower like 20 times probably.... only times lydia died was when i killed her. happened twice so far. also: really hard to tell which follower makes the best tank as they are not scaling with your level but have to level on their own (afaik, as my lydia seems much better than the other followers i tried). | ||

NPCs seem to detarget your merc the second they go down on their knees, so they cannot kill them with autoattacks. AE attacks such as dragon's breath or fireballs as well as your own attacks can still hit them, though, and this will kill them. | ||

Companions go down when they have very little hp left and I am pretty sure mine died to a bandit powerattack which I was unfortunate to get hit by too and did over 120 damage. | ||

I'll second this, but it's also pretty easy. Quite cool though, just powerful. Edit: it also levels weird since I literally only used sneak and archery, you hardly ever get hit so once they plateau and I leveled ench/smithing I spent like 20 hours where i leveled once from misc lockpicking and shit lol before I decided to use some other combat stuff | ||

Yea, I guess that works too. Mercs (and regular NPCs as well, actually) drop to their knees at around 10% health, so I guess a blow that does greater damage than this would kill them before they'd get any time to get kneeling. | ||

Though, if they're low HP and you deal friendly fire to them and it finishes them, they WONT rez. So you really have to be cautious and not kill your own companion. If you're 100% sure your companion didn't die, just "Wait" for 1-2hours, and it'll come back. And I don't know if there's better tank, as I'm using Jenessa, and she's tanking alright for me on Master difficulty, never had to switch.

My most fun build is by far the Illusionist/Destro mage, 100 in illusion with all master illusion spells can cause some serious havoc, especially with many mobs around. Then Invinsibility for sneak mode rocks! ^^ | ||
