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 essential Skyrim mods in existence. Lydia is perhaps infamous for being stupid and hardly anyone is feeling sorry for her, with OnlyAFleshWoundd also complaining about her blocking doorways and staircases.

Lydia is one of the earliest followers in Skyrim and players can recruit her by completing the Dragon Rising quest. As a result, most players use Lydia for a large chunk of their journey, and she is one of the most famous NPCs from the game. Players can also choose to marry her after purchasing a house in Whiterun. A Skyrim fan had even created a fake profile for Lydia on Tinder, which appropriately lists “dying in the most inconvenient places” and “standing in doorways” as her hobbies.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
