Skyrim Cartoon :: O'RLY? - Failtastic Lydia Moment

((Turned out a little crappier than I imagined it would look, but then again, I didn't try super-hard to make it look comparatively "good," nor did I have the patience to in school today. Hehe))

So, in my new game, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, ((which I fucking love, by the way,)) you get a sort of "sidekick" a few hours into the story: a woman named Lydia. At first, you might think, "Oh cool, this girl's gonna follow me around and fight with me all the time, and she can carry my stuff too if I have too much. This is awesome." Pretty soon it becomes obvious how useless Lydia actually is for anything other than an extra 300 lbs of inventory space. She tends to fall really far behind me when I'm adventuring, and as a result, misses a lot of the action, more often than less when I really could use some backup, like when I'm fighting a dragon out in the open. The worst part is that she always shows up right after the action ends. My best guess is that anyone else you can gain the allegiance of in the game probably follows the same coding, and will give me the same result. ...So "sidekicks" in Skyrim are one of the few little details I could rant about for a while ((again though, note that it's not a rage rant, so much as a humorously annoyed rant; it can be funny how badly she fails at more than just lagging behind and missing the action)) but it sure makes for a good cartoon. lol
