Official Discussion of the popular Bethesda Game Studios title TESV: Skyrim
Am I crazy or is Lydia less "clumsy" in the Special Edition?
As many of you know, Lydia triggering traps, standing in the worst spots possible, etc. became such a frustration that she turned into a meme.
In the Special Edition, however, she seems very competant. Did Bethesda fix follower AI?




Since I was doing the Dawnguard quest I have a different follower for now & Lydia hangs out at my house with my daughter but I did notice that when she was following me that she died a lot less often! My current follower almost never dies, even when she jumps right in front of me in a fight, which is great.
Yeah I noticed this right away when I was in a barrow just waiting for her to walk over a trap like I've seen her do a million times before and she walked around it for the first time in forever :D
