If you haven't done the Companions then overtaking Whiterun can mess up that questline.

Yeah. All that happens is some of the outside walls get a little bit torn down, two non-important houses in the city are destroyed, and there's a new jarl.

Didn't happen anything funny to my questline both times I did Stormcloak.
What happens? Do someone die? Vignar isn't any important if that was what you meant.

Whoops. Didn't know that. Disregard my last statement.

I did the companions after taking it over for the stormcloaks, I never had any problems.

I think trying to do them symultaneously can be troublesome, but one after the other in no particular order is fine.

It can mess up some Radiant quests(Some have a target that exists in a house that gets destroyed), but that's it I think.

Just because it didn't bug for you doesn't mean it can't happen.

And just because it bugged for you, doesn't mean it ALWAYS happens :smile: He could in fact have no problems but will now be scared to do it because you made it sound like its a problem everyone has. Which not everyone does.

What will happen is that there is one bad ass mofu who comes after you and one hits you and all your Stormcloaks. You will not even make it over the barricades alive!

This is what happened in my version of the game. Your experience may vary.

Hmm, strange. I've only encountered him once and I'm scarred for life. He was one badass Orc.

At least one of the houses becomes inaccessible afterwards. I remember there was a Thieves Guild quest that needed you to go to that house. I'm not sure if a different house is selected after the Battle of Whiterun (e.g., if this was a specific quest or one of the randomized ones).

Im at the point where i have to do the "Season Unending" quest (have to talk to Angneir), i have finished the Companions campaign, and now i have to attack the Whiterun. So how will and in what way that impact the main quest, storyline? I also have an active quest "The Fallen" where i have to convinve the Greybeards to negotiate the truce. Doest that reffers to the truce between Whiterun and the Stormcloak? To prevent the same attack im about to do?

It's to be a temporary ceasefire between legion and stormcloak forces.

I also did companions after civil war on both my runs, never had any problems (or maybe I never figured out i had any problems 0.0). Also, there is a very minor bug, where one of the radiant quests for the theives guild can send you to one of the broken down houses, in which case, you will have to go back and get a new radient quest

Yeah but i left the main qest to wait after i fought Alduin at the Throat of The World, and now i have to talk in Jarl of Whiterun to capture the dragon, but if i attack the Whiterun how am i suppose to do that? Wont it mess up the quest?

Oh and btw, does every of the major cities have factions like Whiterun has Companions, Riften thieves guild, Winterhold has the college exc. Or lets say every city has some major quest of its own?

There will be a new jarl whom you can speak to about trapping the dragon.

Each major city has a questline associated with it, but not every one has a "guild" so to speak.

A bunch of camps and another city ... if you do the civil war until the end, of course.
