Enhanced Skyrim Factions:
The Companions Guild

By DreamKing

Skyrim's Companions guild questline suffers from being too short and too linear; it is possible for a low-level character, and/or one with minimal combat skills, to quickly accend to the highest ranks of this famed guild of warriors. Moreover the questline railroads the player, denying them the opportunity to make several key choices. ESF: Companions is a project that aims to improve this situation in several ways:

1. Add skill, level, and time requirements for each of the guild's milestone quests.
2. Add new choices and consequences to those milestone quests.
3. Add new radiant and story quests, both during and after the vanilla questline.
4. Miscellaneous other additions and tweaks.

Project Status:
I'm currently testing skill, level, and time requirements for quests, for an initial release of the mod; and also several smaller improvements.


What I'd like from you

I have an default set of requirements in place--see below--but they're based on my playthrough as a stealthy archer. Bearing in mind that players will have the ability to tweak these as they like, does anyone who uses more melee-type characters have any input as whether these make a sensible set of default requirements?

Before Your Trial in "Proving Honor" (Quest C01)
- Light or Heavy Armor skill at least 30
- A weapon skill--One-Handed/Two-Handed/Archery--at least 30
- Player level at least 10
- At least 10 radiant quests done since joining (including at least one for each member of the Circle)
- At least 14 days passed since joining

Before Being Invited to Join the Circle in "The Silver Hand" (Quest C03)
- Light or Heavy Armor skill at least 50
- A weapon skill--One-Handed/Two-Handed/Archery--at least 55
- Player level at least 20
- At least 20 radiant quests done since "Proving Honor" (including at least one for each member of the Circle)
- At least 28 days passed since "Proving Honor"

Before Kodlak's Request in "Blood's Honor" (Quest C04)
- Light or Heavy Armor skill at least 55
- A weapon skill--One-Handed/Two-Handed/Archery--at least 70
- Player level at least 25
- At least 10 radiant quests done since "The Silver Hand"
- At least 14 days passed since "The Silver Hand"

This looks very good .

Those requirement look very good.

This seems good. The requirements seem strict but by no means hard. I like it.
