Description
Based on a true story! When I first started playing Skyrim, I went to Whiterun and became Thane. I was awarded my own bitch (Lydia). Her only real usefulness came from carrying my crap for me- since I had a tendency to pick up EVERYTHING.She was affectionately referred to as "The Bitch", both for her attitude and my use of her as slave labor.
Eventually, she died.
The end.
(This was 3 days worth of work, with a lot more effort put into it than I originally intended. I am pretty proud of this piece! It was done mostly in Paint Tool SAI with the text and borders added in Photoshop.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am sorry for not responding to everyone! I am overwhelmed by how many people have viewed, commented and favorited this piece! It really means a lot to me! I never expected this comic to be seen by so many people. Thank you all so much! I am so glad I could make you all smile!

I accidentally killed my Lydia on a mission. I don't remember where we were exactly (some kind of snow temple or something). I was far away, she somehow got separated from me, and because of the distance, I mistook her for an enemy Foresworn or bandit. Shot her with an arrow. One of the worst things I've done in Skyrim.

Lydia often gets pack-mule duty whenever we kill a dragon -- those dragonbones and scales are heavy as hell, and I usually sell them off once I get to a kitty caravan or general goods merchant, as I don't plan on using them for smithing until I pass the level 50 mark. The other major stuff I tend to carry myself. That said, Lydia is death on two legs, especially with properly upgraded gear (I recently got her a set of Steel Plate armor and a nice Glass Mace, and am looking to upgrade her shield with one of the shields from the Immersive Armors mod -- I play on PC), and she is a hell of a tank for my archer/assassin, even if I usually make her wait on the sidelines while I snipe enemies off with my bow or stabinate them with my dagger.
On stealth missions for the Guild and assassin missions for the Brotherhood though? She stays behind in Breezehome. Heavily-armored warrior types are NOT good with the sneaky, and it's part of my roleplaying besides. Lydia knows about my Thieves' Guild business because I've taken her on the Honningbrew run which had us killing those rats and that mage and taken her to the Ragged Flagon and the Cistern and dealt with Brynjolf in her presence. But I do NOT take Lydia to the Falkreath Sanctuary, go on assassin runs with her or allow her to see me in my Shrouded gear -- I'm rather a stickler when it comes to the Five Tenets unlike some members of the Brotherhood.

That's seriously one of the only things I use them for, the other is killing guards while I run from the battles. XD

I use UFO and make her an essential character so she can't die. So... really... She's an invincible pack mule.

I got her and I was thinking
"Do I get a refund?"
So fus or dah-ed her off throat of the world.
She was still alive.
Told her to go stand and wait in a trolls lair.
Haven't seen her since.>
It's not murder,the troll killed her.

SInce I dislike Lydia because she drives me insane.. (i.e. when we're near a giant's camp i walk away from it, she actually runs toawrds them and gets killed. Though that was onanother charrie. Then when I need her help, she just stands there all like: derp.) So I sacrificed her to Beothiah XD

Heh, I killed my lydia, then sat her in a chair so it looked normal. A little while later I got a letter of inheritance, and everyone went on about how sorry they were. I died laughing.

I was tempted to slay Lydia for a long time in a game but it didn't feel to have a point at that time. Then I came across a quest which demanded that you get some companion and kill him or her in a sacrifice stone. Guess who I took to that stone? XD It was like killing too flies at one time. To get rid of Lydia and achieve something. Good times
Really nice comic. Captures the true meaning of treasure hunting in Skyrim very well ^^-b

Lydia is the pack-mule of the game, although its rather annoying when she stands RIGHT in front of a door and refuses to budge xD

I noticed a lot of people complaining about NPCs who stand in doorways and get them stuck in a room. I've never had that problem, when they "block" me I just sprint into them and they stumble back and get out of my way.

Lydia often gets to carry whatever excess loot I can't. That said, she's a good gal to have in any scrap, if her AI is a little dim at times when it comes to traps and shit. She's not too bad on the eyes either, even if my main (a female Nord two-handed warrior) doesn't swing that way and regards her as more of a friend and shield-sister than a romantic prospect.

So funny, and so true.
Personally, I don't believe in companions. Last time I tried it, they died because they got in the way and they ended up getting one of my arrows up their... rump.
I never did get that arrow back.

I`d recommend that it`s better to not even get that arrow out

I'm glad that I've found someone with a similar mind to mine.

I accidentally killed Lydia a few times, so I panicked and loaded.
After all, who's gonna carry all my stuff if she's dead?

Dude xDD This sounds just like me. I'd refer to her as either The Bitch or The Whore. Both cause I took adcantage of her >.> then one day i made her tank too much and she died in some cave and I had to walk back with all the crap I looted off her T___T

I've never taken Lydia with me on anything before, but I always do this anyway, lol. The trouble is that you get so much stuff it's too heavy to carry, and then when you go to sell it all the shopkeepers run out of money... I was so glad when I got my own lodgings, lol, because it's a place to put all the stuff I don't want to carry and never remember to sell - except when you fill up your drawers and cupboards and display cases to the point where you can hardly move for stuff |D
A great comic, though - it's so true, and the expressions are priceless x3

I recently fully furnished my Breezehome digs, which was a damned good thing -- not only does it look like a place my character can actually live in, but it was good to get all those damned books out of my inventory and onto the shelves, as well as throwing the good stuff into my chest in the bedroom. Saves both me and Lydia a load off our backs.
