Hilarious Skyrim Clip Shows Just How Dedicated Lydia is to the Dragonborn

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is probably one of the most influential games of all time, as it played a big role in making open-world games more popular among the mainstream and casual audience. As The Elder Scrolls 6 is seemingly years away, Skyrim enjoys a healthy user base even a decade after its release.

Skyrim launched with a follower system that is also found in other games by Bethesda Game Studios. Players can ask an NPC to follow them everywhere they go, from the highest mountains to the deepest dungeons. The dungeons of Skyrim are filled with traps and these followers are infamous for walking straight into them, and they would often end up getting the player killed. A new clip posted online serves as a great example of this, as it shows one of the most popular followers repeatedly triggering the same trap inside a dungeon.

Tomb_SN has posted a clip on the Skyrim subreddit that starts with a follower named Lydia getting hit in the face with a spiked gate. The pressure plate looks easily avoidable, but Lydia triggers it several times throughout the video, with Tomb_SN patiently waiting for her on the other side. It’s hilarious to see her immediately get up after getting hit with such force, only to trigger the trap over and over again.

Many users are admiring Lydia’s dedication to the Dragonborn, but they agree that she is not the brightest follower in the game. According to prs722, there’s a Skyrim mod that prevents followers from triggering tripwires and pressure plates. Judging by the clip and some comments, it may end up becoming one of the most essentialSkyrim mods in existence. Lydia is perhaps infamous for being stupid and hardly anyone is feeling sorry for her,
