So today during the awkward period in an exam where you have finished, yet still have 25 minutes left, I had a little idea, which occupied my mind for the remainder of the exam.
If you could make an elite group of warriors, a fellowship if you will, out of about 5 Skyrim NPCs, who would you pick? I know it depends on a situation, but say you could relive the events of Skyrim's MQ though the eyes of a group of NPCs saving the world. This would also mean another Dovahkiin.
After some hard debation (heh) I picked my team;
Jon Battle-Born - Sword n' board
Nazir - good ol' Alik'r assasin
Ghorbash The Iron-Hand - Tank
Karliah - archer
Marcurio - mage

An unlikey bunch, yes. Some more interesting than others, but all (in my mind) great characters.

i like the marcurio

Eola
Astrid
Karliah
Lisette
Marcurio

Vilkas
Aela
Farkas
Sapphire
Veezara

Hmm.... I'd have to have my current character (He is not the Dragonborn, just a theif and, at times, the unwilling hero.), Athis, Kharjo the caravaner, Cynric Endall, and Sven the Bard.

Annekke Crag-Jumper
Cicero
Aela the huntress
Beem-Ja
Stump

I cant think of the char's i would love to use but i think this would be a good idea as when playing mount and blade ive always wanted to so something like that in skyrim

hmmm role playing that your arnt the dragon born? never tried that before.

Erandur - Cleric
Onmund - Mage
Karliah - Thief
Mjoll the Lioness - Warrior
Faendal - Ranger

That'd be my team, plus my Altmer Spellsword Dragonborn. Getting Karliah and Mjoll to get along might be tough though , but I feel like she might a little more noble a thief than Brynjolf. I'd have her opening locks and disarming traps in dungeons, not stealing from towns, so maybe they'd get along.

Kharjo
Borgakh the Steel Heart
Brand-Shei
Faendal
Derkeethus

Whoever I choose depends on the voice files. I can't stand companions with same voice, immersion breaking. So far a good mix is:

Uthgred
Sven
Mjoll
Anneke
Marcurio

Can you pick just anyone in the game? Cause in that case

The mad emperor (Who would be the Emperor of Tamriel, so that would give you an entire empire)
The mad god (Also in the game, so very useful there. Sure not as powerful on Mundus as in his realm, but still more useful then most others)
Sam Guevenne (If not for fighting then for drinking)
Arngeir (He'll shout those that are still standing to pieces)
Einarth (He'll shout those still standing after that to pieces)

Legate Rikke
Balgruuf the Greater
Arngeir
Uthgerd the Unbroken
Esbern

Probably the people I usually recruit as blades.
So some combination of:
J'zargo
Faendal
Mjoll
Jenassa
Marcurio
& Aela

solid squad

This is what I currently have in my group.

Esbar
Delphine
Marcurio
Meeko
Dark Brotherhood Intiate
A master vampire
And a master necromancer

Marcurio- mage
Aela- archer
Khajaro- all around
Mijoll- warrior
Erandur- healer

Aela
Mjoll
Babette
Brynwolf
J'zargo

These are my picks( companion member,random chick with big axe, DB vampire assassin, thieves guild b.a, and a wizard cat.

this would be a well balanced band of heroes

k screw this sorry

All the Mages. All of them.

Cicero - Assassin/Entertainer
Festus Krex - Mage
Legate Rikke OR Mjoll - Sword n' Boarder and Tank, respectively
Arngeir - Voicemaster
Emperor Titus Mede II OR Jarl Balgruuf the Greater - Tactician/Group leader

Wouldn't synergise very well, I know, but working purely on their skills, these 5.
