Like all the other candidates for marriage, she will cook a Homecooked Meal once a day that regenerates Stamina, Health, and Magicka. She can be asked to move to a different house, if a house other than Breezehome is owned. If the Dragonborn does marry her, then she opens a shop in town and gives the Dragonborn 100 per day. Marriageīefore Patch 1.5, it was only possible to marry Lydia through console commands.
She can still be recruited as a follower, but her default Steel apparel will be replaced with a full set of Blades Armor and a Blades sword. Lydia, like most followers, has the option of being recruited into The Blades by being brought to Delphine at Sky Haven Temple after the quest Alduin's Wall is completed. If enough time was spent with her, she may gift the Dragonborn with a radiant item upon reuniting with her. If Breezehome in Whiterun is owned, she will return there instead.
If the Dragonborn and Lydia part ways, she returns to Dragonsreach. This can happen if the Dragonborn damages her at low health. Just like other followers, Lydia can die if she does not get the opportunity to heal herself when knocked down.
