I keep having an open Miscellaneous quest: "Talk to the Companions leaders for work". I've done a lot of these quest between the three remaining Companions (two have been reverted back to normal while one, the woman, remains wolf capable still--although I have not had any conversation with her specifically about this...that she would like to change back or keep her 'ability'?). Anyway, some of the quests almost seem to be repeats of the same thing but in a different location? How long does this go on and/or what can the PC do to trigger an end to the Miscellaneous quest?? Thanks.

It's infinite, so it won't leave your quest log.

Interesting... I wonder why gamesas ended the Companion quests this way? I know that both the Stormcloaks and Imperials are waiting for me to take one of their oaths--assume you can't take both oaths.

My PC's plan is to side with the Stormcloaks or both sides. There seem to be plenty of odds and ends still to do so I'm hoping not to pick a side yet.

Yes it's normal. And all the factions have infinite quests that can be done during and after the main quest of that faction is complete. I believe though it's only the companions (Talk to the Companions Leaders for Work) and the dark brotherhood (The Dark Brotherhood Forever) that have their radiant quests stuck in your quest log.

Ah yes...quests stuck in the quest log... Don't have to worry about the dark brotherhood though. They are all dead. My PC was really pissed at how this faction was introduced to him so he killed the leader on the spot and then everyone else later on in their hideout--don't remember the details.

Great quest line though, you should try it with another pc you create.

And there is plenty to do so no worries there. In fact the civil war was one of the last things I did. (Can only join one side though. But that's what creating multiple characters is for, so you can get the full experience. I joined the imperials, plan to do the stormcloaks with my second character.)

when you finish the main quest lines, and you become leader, do you get any perks out of it like in oblivion? cuz for me, in the college of winterhold people dont even call me archmage

No, but you get some nice equipment, (thieves guild gave me a great necklace witch i still use
