Skyrim

[Caliga]

So apparently with Dawnguard installed there are now random encounters with vampires and werewolves?   I discovered this because on my way up that mountain trail to Ivarstead early in the main quest I encountered a pack of werewolf brutes that ripped me and Lydia apart.   Guess I gotta find another way to the town.

I've lucked out. I've only seen one non-quest vamp and it was being hunted by two members of the vigilant.

[Caliga]

Earlier on the same trail I encountered three orcs, who I killed, and then slightly further on found two dead vampires.  I'm guessing the orcs killed the vamps.  Anyway... busy trail.

The amount of wandering monsters in TES games, it's a wonder there's any normal traffic between population centers at all.

I keep finding Vampires in towns.  Three vampires will appear and get attacked by a dozen guards.  After killing the vamps the Guards will complain that someone really needs to do something about those vampire attacks.  I'm guessing it's part of the Dawn guard quests.  Never ran into a Werewolf random encounter.

I encountered vampires randomly before Dawnguard, but not werewolves.  Looking at Dawnguard in TES5Edit, I don't see any werewolf additions to the encounters, so you might be getting those from somewhere else (especially if they are falling from the sky, like everything else  ).

[Maximus]

Cal, if you have the warzones mod active it can give encounters like those.

[Caliga]

Ah, ok... and no, the werewolves didn't fall out of the sky first.  A werewolf storm would have been neat to see, though.

A werenado as it were?

Currently at level 18 and I have already lost Lydia and Sven. Both died when I used the Unrelenting shout and they were in the way. 

[garbon]

I got a mod that replaced Lydia with Ludwig.

The only followers I use these days are Mjoll the Lioness and Serana.  Both are essential, which stops them from going the way of your Lydia / Sven. 

[Josephus]

Yeah followers do have a habit of getting in the way. I've killed two so far (at level 18 too): Lydia, and the archer guy whom you meet Riverwood. Currently on my third, a woman I picked up in Falkreath

[Razgovory]

I kinda lost interest in the game.  I took a trip to Wisconsin and when I got back my PC then I got busy doing a lot of nothing and never could bring myself to get into the game again.

[DontSayBanana]

Yeah, the vampire attacks in Dawnguard are a pain in the ass.  Especially since they pop most frequently for me right inside city gates when I'm trying to keep my bounty down.

Currently, my level 16 Nord is taking a break before brokering the Imperial-Stormcloak truce to work on mining and smithing.  I've got the mage quests completed, just started the Companions quest line, and said "fuck it" and adopted a little orphan that was begging in Whiterun.  Discovery: Breezehome is kinda small for me, Lydia, and little Lucia.
