Where'd the Kahjit caravan camp outside Whiterun go?

My wife has noticed their camp is gone.

 

[Agamon]

There is one? Never seen it. Didn't even meet a Kahjit until L25.

This is probably one of those random things that makes everyone's game different.

 

[Janx]

There's. A camp outside whiterun, winterhold and riften that'll sell 35 lockpicks each. My wife didnt know that and just started using them, and then they were gone.

 

[Agamon]

I walked all around Whiterun when I first got there, didn't see a camp. I did see one at Winterhold. Is there a chance they move around? Would make some sense...

I've seen the Kajhit merchants walking on the road before selling stuff, bought my first soul trapping weapon from one of those groups.

Also ran across a few non Kajhit Skooma dealers way off on the backroads. Can't resist murdering the Skoomapushers for their Moonsuger to make Elsweyr Fondue.

 

[Agamon]

Yeah, I've seen them moving between holds, too. I don't kill them, I just take their stuff when they aren't looking. Satisfying to be able to do that to a gypsy-type.

I just traded Lydia for Illia. She's a mage but wants to use the two-handed axes I give her to carry. She also won't wear the mage robes but loves the leather armor and steel helmet. Is this normal for magic-using followers?

Yeah, frost dragons seem common in the late 20's early 30's. Cold resist is practically mandatory around then.

My character is level 14 and has fought 5 dragons. They all seemed identical. How can one tell them apart?


Here's a great short video on how to defeat Giants with your bare hands. Very entertaining:

That is odd. I still use Lydia, but she compliments my PC well. She did use a shock staff when I gave it to her, which I thought odd.

Regular Dragons are the easiest and the ones you first encounter. Higher level they start getting different names. Aside from the named dragon I've fought, I've also seen Blood Dragons and Frost Dragons.

What a great way to start the day. That was awesome!

Had some Khajiit merchants help me kill a dragon outside of Riften. Actually, I suspect they did most of the heayv lifting, I tend to think. Then they moved on.

Also, a dragon flapped about and seared a hillside just above Morthal. Never came down into the city proper (which would be tough for it, I suppose, as the city is built around a lake). By the time I got up there, he had scarpered off. Punk!

As far as i can figure out the game uses some sort of sorting algorithm to chose what a follower will wear. Lydia kept putting on a steel plate helm when she had been previously been wearing a glass helm that had a far higher armor rating.

BTW, how are the magic using followers in the friendly fire department? Do they often hit the player? I've had my dog try to kill a plot based ally over a fireball the dog charged into, so I've been leery of taking caster allies.
