Why does lydia keep dying

Oh and how did she start a fight with Frea? Thanks for the warning though XD. Friendly fire probably, one of them must have hit the other one somehow when fighting some Draugr. The most common solution is giving her great armor and a shield but if you play on PC, you can set her as essential with console commands.

For no friendly fire, I use: "sifh 1" on my followers With your Console open, click on a follower then enter "sifh 1". On PC i just use the mod AFT you can give all those commands to followers through dialog instead of the console, and you can use it to lock her fighting style to sword and shield. If you don't say your on a console and sometimes even if you do the commands and mods will usually get mentioned sooner or later.

I use that so I will never lose my beloved Lydia. There is also a mod on Nexus that make Lydia look like as pretty as fashion model. In fact it makes all your regular housecarls female.
