At what point did you lose both of them? They could be stuck in a doorway or other phase point somewhere.
I thought I lost Lydia after she got orbited by a giant but she randomly showed back up several days later.

I'm 22 hours into the game and lost Lydia at like hour 2. So I don't expect to ever see her again.
Serana is much more important. She could be anywhere I guess. The quest line is just dead now. It's crazy that this can happen. There should be a manual way to respawn followers for how common this is.

Lost followers was an issue in the original. There was a console command to teleport them to you. There might have been another way to get them back but I don't remember.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Speaking of followers.
I have a very high sneak skill thanks to alchemy/enchanting glitching. Sneak is improved by 20000% and I have on quite a few occasions slit the throat of Lidya.
Poor lady doesn't deserve such. But a reload always saves the day.
She may turn up at Castle Volkihar if you continue with the Dawnguard quest - hopefully you can get her back.

If you're on PC you can find lost followers via console command I believe? I could be butchering that information though haha.
If you're on console, obviously you can't do that, but do you have any earlier saves? With Skyrim, even back on the 360, I had hundreds of save points, so I could go back in case I messed up or the game messed up.

I've told Lydia to go back home a few times since she was fucking up my assassinating, and one time I got a letter of inheritance a while later. Stupid Lydia couldn't even go home safely. I had no problem console commanding her back to life though, she had a full dwarven set and Chillrend, she's really useful at keeping the heat off me.
I also have the advanced followers mod and it lets you have up to like 90 followers at once, I had to stop bringing Illia with me because her spinning ice orbs were triggering Lydia into attacking her. Rolling with just Cicero and Lydia is funny though, they just murder.

That was always the nice thing about the PC version--using console commands to bring people back.
Does the PS4 have follower-based mods? Maybe people can bring back lost followers on the mod side.

How are PS4 players feeling about the game? I might be picking Skyrim up this week for my PS4 Pro
Do you like Skyrim? It's great IMO.
I never got into the mod craze on PC so unless you really care about mods, get it. Otherwise stick with PC or xB1

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I hate how the quests are built around fast travel. Enter new town, want to get familiar with the new area, so you talk to a random guy... "Hey I know you just got here but can you go rescue my brother on the complete other side of the fucking map?"
Hey asshole I just got here! Get fucked. But now I have your bullshit clogging my questlog, thanks.
God I miss Morrowind.

Love it. Runs great, looks great. It's Skyrim!
The mod situation isn't that great, but I've installed maybe 15-20 that have improved the experience for me.

Alternate start from Dawnstar should've been way to start the game originally. The place is such a hole you want to escape from there. With a little intro quest, maybe you as a miner's slave, it'd be perfect.
The beta patch has actually been super stable for me after I got past the rough patch in the Soul Cairn. After I powered my way thru that area I haven't had a single crash to desktop since I installed it.
Hope we get SKSE pretty soon and this could finally be the definitive version of Skyrim.

I'm going for a destruction mage character - should I use a staff or dual handed spells?
Does attacking with a staff raise my destruction skill?

I have gone pure mage dual handed destro its fun! Also wearing robes not other light armour.

Game has definitely been a bit choppy at times for me on the pro, not ruining my enjoyment though. Feels good playing this again as a stealth archer. Really wanna try a mage playthrough. I hate having followers though, they just get in the way!

Try Vilkas with the giants club. He takes no prisoners with that thing.

Had to reload because of Serena. Common bug it seems & it can completely lock you out of the DLC

My Dawnguard quest line seems to have broke because A New Order won't trigger.

It is, you just have to make sure you are carrying enough filled soul gems for staff recharging with you. Mage armor perk and most of the alteration skilltree are vital for surviving. Also level up enchating skills as many of the help with recharging your staff.
Since you want to play some sort of Gandalf you cna level up one handed to fight them off if they come too close.
If you are on PC or XBox One you might want to look for armored robes mods too.

Was told there was a good PS4 mod recommendation list here?
Cool! Thanks for the info
been awhile since i've been on a skyrim binge... feels good man
y'know for a game that gets so much flak for "dumbing down" mechanics i'm sure having a good time building up my character. this is the first time i really did a jack of all trades sort of playthrough with some alchemy here and some smithing and enchanting there, instead of just cheesing it all. all the skills complement eachother quite nicely

Are mods doing this?
PS4 player here
Base Skyrim is still alright as a walking simulator. Mods improve that aspect by about 900% though.
I think my game is glitched... I'm doing the Dawnguard missions and I can't enter the first waypoint, Darkhollow Passage. The temple rises, I talk to the guy, but I can't activate anything. I've loaded old saves and tried a couple times and nothing.
I went into Darkhollow cave when I first started playing and cleared it out... if that messes up this temple part, I'm screwed bc that was HOURS ago. I'd basically have to start over.

Dong Guard, lol.
This game is addictive. Sometimes I want to stop, but I have to do just one more thing. I'll often keep playing for much longer than I intended.

Started a new file as a dark elf, staying true to my Morrowind heart. I love it, I immediately started using Flames as my primary close-quarters weapon and now I'm an assassin/mage. So fun fucking up all these n'wah.

Farkas was lost for over a week and then just showed up
Immersion is incredible even after 5 years

I've passed the point where I left Vanilla Skyrim back then. I'm quite surprised that I'm actually still so early in the main story quest. Too many distractions in Skyrim, I hope I can finish the game this time.
My daughter got hit with the castle Volkihar glitch where the gate won't open on PS4. She's not sure what to do. I've seen the tip to use a shout to dash through the gate but she hasn't got dragons in the world and doesn't want to do a whole new quest line to get the gate open. Any one know what to do? It's blocking the entirety of the Dawnguard quest line.

Wow. Five whole years...
I remember being so hyped about this when it was announced.
If not for Obvious, my first time introduced to this series, I would never would have cared.
