Skyrim Glitches (Continued)

After receiving my inheritance from Gorm, I attempted to use the Amulet of Mara to propose marriage to an NPC, Lydia. This failed, as with all my previous attempts since the death of my first wife. Defeated, I put away one of the two amulets I was carrying with me and switched to a more powerful artefact. Later, when inspecting my inventory, I discovered I was wearing both amulets at the same time, which was previously thought to be an impossibility.

With Lydia as my companion, I went about an finished up some miscellaneous side-quests. After some fast travelling, I noticed Lydia was no longer following me. I attempted to recruit another companion, but was told I already had one by an NPC. She wasn’t in Breezehome where she serves as my thane. I went back to the last place I remembered seeing her, inside Dragonsreach. It was only there I discovered her after enchanting a new item and turning around. It reminded me of the situations I use to get into with the dog from Fallout 3, where she would disappear completely unless you returned to a certain area.

I had finally obtained the Master rank in Conjuration, and was summoning an Unbound Daemora Lord atop the mage school, when my conjuration disappeared suddenly. I looked around to see if it had run off on its own accord, and saw an incoming dragon. The top of the school was horseshoe shaped with a large tower at the end of the circle. The dragon would swoop from one end of the circle to the other where my arrows couldn’t reach it. If I used Dragonrend on it, it would sit atop the tower where I couldn’t see it, let alone fire my arrows upon it. If it settled down in the courtyard below, I was helpless to watch as the other teachers and student fought with it while I fired my relatively weak arrows into its hide, inflicting little to no damage at all. Frustrated, I used my Call Dragon shout. My dragon came swiftly, and I tried to fire upon the enemy dragon, missing my mark by a wide margin. Backing up for a better shot, I fell off the side of the wall and the cliff below. I feel a hundred feet to my death and respawned before my attempts at summoning. The dragon did not reappear this time, and I was free to continue.

A separate battle with Serena and two friendly NPCs in an escort quest did not go exactly as planned, as every attempt at swinging wild or use a broad-spread magic spell angered the NPCs into attacking Serena, who is admittedly a vampire and worthy of their ire. Serena, more powerful than the two combined, would smite the NPCs, and cause the quest to come to an abrupt halt, forcing me to respawn.
