Not played Dawnguard yet but I been seeing this Serana chick's name being thrown back n forth and also a number of mods dedicated to her.

 

She the new "Lydia" or something? When I first got Skyrim the day after it first came out, I played the questline up to Dragonsrach, killed the Watchtower dragon and was rewarded Lydia.. wasnt impressed , sure for avanilla game, she was a pretty thing etc. but was not looking for a comp like her nor at the time wanted to have a housecarl... wanted to explore Skyrim with Sven who I got first trip into Riverwood....

 

anyways... so yeah... new Lydia thing right?

Frankly, I thought the advantage of Lydia was that she didn't talk much. Serana has some great dialogue, but she also keeps going "Yes, what did you want?" over and over and over if you stand close to her.

 

So I suppose it comes down to if you prefer your companion to have good dialogue options or just shut up and kill stuff for you.

She's a complete PAIN IN THE KNEE! She keeps constantly throwing that b****y Ice Storm spell of hers and freezin' my **** off !

 

Plus her and Lydia are constantly fighting each other (yes I have a multiple follower mod) I constantly hear "Now you'll pay!" and turn around to see Serana and Lydia beatin' on each other <sigh>

 

Thank the Nine I made both of them essential ... When they aren't fighting each other they do make a good team though ...

I hear you....her aim is shocking, I'm always finding Ice Spikes dangling from my Dovahkin when he has to take her with him.

 

As for Serena herself, she definitely has the most advanced dialog in the game....there is an actual story and it does progress in her dialog....She is a nuisance though for constant comments if you accidentally get within a foot of her, though she is no where near as bad as Mjoll.....As a woman I am immune to this 'Lydia' 'Serena' favoritism stuff, their face's, etc.... have no effect on me....I do like Serena's dialog, but she leaves much to be desired as a follower....That Dawnguard Orc actually makes a pretty decent follower.....

 

I am finding it a little difficult all over though in regards to having a Follower, as I don't generally use them (the Orc was out of curiosity) ...I have a ring summon-able Sabre Cat if my Dovahkin finds himself in hot water...doesn't get in the way, is easily controlled, doesn't mess up stealth, is an awesome tank and meat shield....I do look forward to finally being able to get rid of Serena following.

Hey, that's my wife you're talking about!!!

 

How I rejoice when I hear the story of the bandit soiling his armour, and her constant reminders of how she loves the outdoors, travelling, and her father's expectations of her.

 

Her stories are a delight, why wouldn't you want to hear them 80,000,000 times?

 

Seriously though, agree with the OP. Don't have Dawnguard yet but already sick of seeing her name, in exactly the same way as Lydia. At one point I started to wonder if anyone else but me had even realised there were OTHER followers than Lydia.

Sorry... :blush: ....My Dovahkin would rather be packing Kitty Litter over constant dribble in his ear....80,000,000 times.... :biggrin:

 

By the way, how are you enjoying Aerin?.... :devil: .... :biggrin:
