So i did the Diplomatic immunity quest. I had a lydia as companion when i accepted the mission, but she got booted because it's a solo mission. Problemis, i can't find her anymore. she's not in the hall where she normally waits. Now i'm stuck with the stupid archer guy from the first village.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Interesting bit about increasing the game's looks, orimarily the bit about forcing the game to render more gameworld grids, i.e. increasing the detail level a lot further out (e.g. if you leave Whiterun and look at the farms from he guard towers, the mills will be simplified meshes with smaller textures. With this setting you'll see all the detail, including the wings of the windmill turning from quite afar).

These tweaks don't bog down my game's performance if I got the 11 or 9 grids settings, but it makes the game crashy as hell, e.g. when I go from Whiterun to Riverwood and come up to the big waterfall.

This thread has more about the uGridsToLoad setting:

So far it feels somewhat stable with 11 for me, following the thread's suggestions, but I reserve judgment.

Due to PC limitations, I'm going to be trying it on XB360.  Haven't gotten around to picking it up yet, though.
Experience bij!

I lost her for a bit too.  Just run around solo for a while and she will reappear.

Crashed badly and gave all kinds of glitches when I wanted to go to Windhelm. I've reverted all changes to the .ini files for now. :(
