It's some combination of the fact that she's officially appointed to you by the Jarl, and that she's super-dooper pretty. It's what they do.īut there's something special about Lydia.

Whether it's the creepily long-hair-and-balding weirdo, or the guy who informs you that you've been a great friend to him after you beat him in a fist-fight, they're all going to stand in doorways, walk into a rack of frying pans when you're stealthing, or time things to ensure they step on every trap trigger just as you're in the danger zone. I readily concede that there's nothing specifically technical about Lydia that makes her any different from any of the other hirelings you can have accompany you as you play. There are few NPCs in games that have inspired me to write a song. This is a random sandbox event caused entirely by something I did, and is in no way scripted into the game.


Let me begin by saying this is not a spoiler.
