So, Skyrim's out 11/11/11

Another interesting story... Saving Lydia... During the search for the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, there is a spider infested place where wherever you step, gouts of flame spew up out of the floor. I had no trouble, sprinting across unscathed, but Lydia just can't seem to stay our of the fire. So, I tell her, you hang back here, I'll take care of it. But, as soon as I get into combat, she comes running in anyway and burns up on the flames. After reloading 3 times due to her death I get exasperated, and tell her to go home. She walks off about 50 feet, and pouts. Then I go forth, and once again lure the spiders to bake themselves on the floor. I finish, then I wonder if she's still just standing off in the corner pouting. She is, so I re-invite her to tag along, and she gleefully obeys. This time, with all the spiders dead, it was an easy thing to direct her steps to avoid the flaming floor.
