Dungeons repopulate every so often. Partially, I think, because the random quest generator might send you back there or possibly so you can wander back after awhile and still have something to kill.One of the main problems is the follower's AI, though good, it's not perfect. It's kind of comical how they always manage to trip a pressure plate and cause me to be hit in the back of the head by the trap. Of course the swinging axe blades are always a hoot. I get through them by either strategy or the whirlwind sprint, but they seem to keep getting knocked down or hit by the swinging gate over and over. I get my restoration skill up, just by having to heal them so many times.
I lost Lydia in Driftshade Refuge and when I went back to get the stuff I couldn't carry out due to being already maxed out in weight, I couldn't find her body and still had to fight oodles more of Silver Hands who had repopulated the place, even though my map said the area was cleared.
My understanding is, none of the companions can die unless your character accidently hits them while they’re at low health.
Lost, on the other hand…
Well, if you tell them to stand somewhere, they’ll still be standing there, I suspect.
