Yes, they stack. Most things stack except for a potion won't stack the effect with another potion. Also you can't stack some of the xp bonuses (Lover's Stone and resting bonus with spouse don't stack), while others you can (well rested stacks with Mage stone).
This is probably handy early on when the extra damage makes a difference. At the higher levels, I manage to take down dragons with five or six iron arrows. With the bow damage and the multipliers, those high level arrows aren't even necessary. Of course I realize now that my low level character at the time shouldn't have been saving all those higher level arrows for when I "really needed them." Because the time to use them would have been before I had all the uber perk upgrades. Of course I do this EVERY SINGLE time I play these types of games. Save the good stuff for when "you really need it," and you end up finishing with it still in your inventory.I gave my follower a daedric arrow and i'm wandering around the prairies shooting fox and deer with a courage spell so they attack me and i can collect arrows and up my illusion. A fox sounds just like wolf when it attacks.

Ooh, so a follower doesn't 'use up' arrows?I gave my follower a daedric arrow and i'm wandering around the prairies shooting fox and deer with a courage spell so they attack me and i can collect arrows and up my illusion. A fox sounds just like wolf when it attacks.
Right... just give them one of your best arrow and collect them.Ooh, so a follower doesn't 'use up' arrows?I gave my follower a daedric arrow and i'm wandering around the prairies shooting fox and deer with a courage spell so they attack me and i can collect arrows and up my illusion.

Hoping to finally get my second. After doing a ton of side quests in Riften, I finally decided I was just going to have to do the Skooma quest. Apparently it's a requirement. As soon as I go clear the cavern, I SHOULD finally get the offer.
tYeah eventually I'll probably own several. I am inveterate pack rat in these games and have a hard time passing up anything.
That is one of the few quests I just refused to go along with. The first step, which I am sure is the one you are referring to, was just totally out of character for my, uhm, character. So I told the lady no thanks and went on my way.I did a bad bad thing to dear Lydia yesterday after I found this book Boethiah's Proving, let's just say I don't have her annoying ### lurking around my Whiterun house anymore.....

I have been using Steel, Iron or Ancient Nordic Arrows while stockpiling Ebony arrows. Have over 200 Ebony arrows for exactly what you said, when I really need it.Me too.

Aren't you fairly high level now? I can't remember if you are a sneak archer or a tank.
I am level 15 working a bit of a hybrid character. Mostly one hand and destruction but with enough archery to allow some nice distance kills and of course some restoration magic in the mix. I did finally get past her though. That last undead kept catching Lydia and I weakened. So I backed up, remembered this isn't an FPS and with some patience was able to take him out by using the doorway to my advantage and healing Lydia every chance I got so she could take the brunt of the damage.
Knowing that the AI won't land the killing blow on your companion leads to some interesting tactics that's for sure. A friend of mine at work loves to use Lydia to bump his Restoration skill. He'll find a tough enemy where Lydia is in view and his character isn't. He'll let Lydia take the hits while he just stands there laying Healing Hands on her.
Make sure you bring them on the final couple missions of the main quest. I ran out of arrows before I made it to the World Eater, and was in a world of hurting. 2 well placed arrows would have ended things much more quickly, instead I had to throw jabs with my daggers. I must have reloaded 10 times before I beat him.I have been using Steel, Iron or Ancient Nordic Arrows while stockpiling Ebony arrows.

THIS.I was wicked lucky with my first character. I met Sam very early on and, liking to drink, did his quest around level 12 or so. That reward is BY FAR the most valuable item you can have early on. Hell, that guy is level 46 now and I still use it.
Yeah this was the first time I got Lydia killed. I am assuming it was the electricity that got her after she was weak. Worst part was I had won but she was loaded with a bunch of stuff I didn't want to lose. And really I owe her. She has saved my butt a few times especially early. So I backed up a save point and redid it until we both got out alive. Loyalty should be rewarded after all and she has been that.
Game Informer (magazine I got free for a year when signing up with Gamestop) has a two page article on Skyrim tips this month. One of the items they mentioned that you should make an effort to acquire was this one. I've never come across this guy that I know of. My bud at work keeps telling me I have to because he just loved that whole quest line. He never even mentions the reward item though. Don't know if he ever realized what he had when he got it.

I'm the same way. I solo now but, when I had Lydia, I would reload any battle where she died. This includes a tower I had completely finished before realizing she had died on the first staircase! I guess we are the odd men out, because most folks here seem to relish letting her perish.
She is a little impetuous which can cause issues and is a bit snarky, as am I, but otherwise she has been great.I seem to have lost my dog on this mission. I wanted to sneak and the dogs don't sneak well so I told him to wait outside. Little did I know I would get put out another way. I figured he'll catch up at some point but so far no joy. If I don't get him back I'll miss him. He was great at distracting dragons.

What kind of dragon? Not all dragons are created equal, but I'm pretty sure all Giants are.
I am soooooooooo looking forward to doing that very same thing to her, soon.I did a bad bad thing to dear Lydia yesterday after I found this book Boethiah's Proving, let's just say I don't have her annoying ### lurking around my Whiterun house anymore.....
It was a named dragon but I missed the name.
