It depends on the person or chest. Some things are random and others are not. For instance in the place where you get your first shout the last 'boss' or whatever dropped an enchanted Honed ancient nordic sword which I used all the way up until I got elven gear. The rest of the times I played I just got a basic enchanted nordic weapon. Same with chests, sometimes I got great stuff and when I go with a new character I got crap. I should also add that some quest rewards are random too, same value usually but different item or enchantment.

Right now the biggest problem I have is with companions and how they work since every site seems to have a different answer. The primary questions is: Do companions level and how? Because some people say they do but are bugged, and others say they don't and they are at whatever level you find them at forever. I have the game for console since my younger brother got it for me for my birthday as one of those gifts that are meant more for himself *hint hint* Anyway I know that on PC you have to dismiss and do some console magic but what about 360? See one thread I read said if you dismiss and rehire they might level up but does anyone know if that is how it works? Does anyone know what the official story is on this? Thanks in advance. Lydia and I have been through hell together and I don't want to lose her because of something so stupid.
