I feel kind of bad by riding everywhere with Lydia running behind me. Is there no way to give her a horse of her own?

Have aela and Lydia both back at the whiterun house. Hope they're keeping each other company while I'm gone.
Actually, Dwarven armour looks like shit to me. All gold and blocky and shit.
Daedric ftw! (I've yet to get any Daedric armour though)

i entered a cave from the backdoor, fought my way in for a bit and then tracked back. later i discovered the main entrance, and now when i open the map, it says "cleared" on it.
is this cave bugged now?

Pay gold to someone to get rid of bears.
Get killed by a bear in your own town.

Same here. Seems like every time I visit Riverwood it is getting attacked by a dragon.

Lost my first housecarl... 
A dragon priest zapped her to death, then resurrected her to fight against me. I wasn't too upset though since about 5 minutes before she'd turned on a quest character for no reason I could detect.

I killed my first giant last night. I cheesed him by shouting fire and chasing him around with an ice axe. Once they're set on fire, they run away, apparently to find water. This one got stuck against a rock formation and I had barely enough time to kill him before his friend came out swinging at me.
It was a pretty non-epic way of taking him down, but hey, a dead giant is a dead giant.

I've been trying to find the spot that shows the land bridge of Solitude in the game's first trailer, but I can't seem to find it.
i assume you just triggered the "cleared" flag by entering from the end. i don't think it will be bugged or anything.
Dwarven really depends on the character model; it probably looks terrible on elves because of how gangly they are. Daedric has a wicked look to it. I really like the hammerfell garb for my shieldmage, got a very ragged adventurer look going with the footwraps.
Minor whiterun sidequest spoiler
I walked right by there on the way to get the sap from the tree; the guy that follows you refused to not fight the bandits in there. Couldn't save him because he kept running right by me and half the time I'd launch him off the bridge with my own fireballs. I don't like that place at all
EDIT: Whoops, I'm thinking of a different land bridge near whiterun. That's Solitude isn't it? Fail!

Man this is really fucking lame.
I'm a level 29 Imperial and fast traveled to Swindler's Den. After about 10 seconds, a Boethiah Cultist appears and starts to fight me. This dude is crazy hard, like at least 10 levels above me and is wielding an Elven Mace. He can 1 or 2 shot me like it's nothing. I'm playing on medium difficulty and enemies lately have been getting similingly harder too.
I also revisited that tower east of Whiterun where bandits demand a toll. I cleared it when I was maybe level 10 and now they have much better armor and weapons. Arg what happened to all that level scaling talk?

If u aint using Marcurio as a follower, you lost.
I don't use followers myself; what does he do that makes everyone rave about him? Personally I'd probably take J'Zargo if I wanted a companion; gotta love that accent.

I'm normally not creeped out by Spiders in games, but there's something about the way they modeled (or animated?) the spiders in Skyrim that gives me that gut reaction like I'm looking at a real spider...

The journal is a huge step down from the previous games. Oblivion at least kept a log of what you've already done in a quest.
At the very least give me a bit more information on each misc quest.
SERIOUSLY, "bring this back to ______________" and yet you can't track it on the map? A world with hundreds of NPCs and I'm supposed to remember who that bitch is?

Hey guys, what does "Save before entering if you want to be able to reroll the loot you'll find." mean? What is 'rerolling'?
The Elite
BOSS
it means the loot will be different everytime you enter.

Can companions die? I haven't used one yet.

So, I was playing with Lydia as my companion but then began the Companion questline which made me use another guy as a companion. Lydia said she'd go wait for me in my home, but I haven't yet bought a home. Where did she go?

Tearing everything apart now
Yes, but not story related.
yeah, I asked the same question yesterday.
I got to use Lydia for about 3 minutes (total) and she was apparently killed by a dragon I was fighting.
Fortunately I have other sacrificial...er followers
Lost my first housecarl...
Oh WOW. That is awesome!

Really wish the graphics werent so washed out and rough around the edges on PS3.
Blegh.
Blegh.
You should be able to sell them at any general store type place, like the Riverwood Trader or Benethor(?) in Whiterun. Of course, they have not so much money so you'll still need to sell a little bit at a time. I've got a big pile of gold diamond necklaces I need to sell eventually. I use the dresser in my Whiterun house to put any apparel items in, and it's getting really slow to place items inside it now since it's so packed.
Yes but you have to cause it. Enemy attacks (that are not Lingering Damage debuffs like Poison) will not kill them no matter what you try. If they fall over dead, you're just a terrible person that murdered your loyal companion. You horrible person you.
Well, PC version anyway, though I'd assume PS3 and 360 are the same. I've tried a good 10-ish hours of nothing but various situations of getting Lydia killed and that was the conclusion I came to. Dragon Priests, Mages, Dragons, Giants, etc. could never kill her no matter how hard I tried; Falmers could, however, with their Poisoned weapons.
...in retrospect, spending that much time just to try to kill Lydia over and over makes me a pretty terrible person, huh.
Every single quest is trackable, even the Miscellaneous ones. Not sure what you mean here.

You can get a companion 2-3 quests in if you follow the Main Quest.
Tips for a Mage: get Impact from Destruction tree asap.
go and play the ps3 version of saints row 3 and you'll feel much better ;(
weird ass blur thing always going on in that game
That's kinda a spoiler for me
I only know how Whiterun, Winterhold and now that city, looks (plus a couple small villages, anyway). I guess that's the city on the northwest area, right? I've played close to 60 hours now, but I tried to stay far away from any other city so I could enjoy them once I had cleared up everything else.
Oh well, at least I'm only seeing it from the outside, the inside is the most important part
