The Companions - a question

Post » Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:38 am

Hi,

I'm a Mage. I want to get in the Mage College but haven't yet. In my travels, I've come across the Companions and was asked if I wanted to join up. Would this prevent me from joining the Mage College if I did? Any other reasons I should or should not join them?

New player here.

Cheers.

The Companions don't use any magic; your mage might not be at the right place there.

No. You can join multiple factions without any problems. As far as I know, the only choice you will have to make is between Stormcloaks or Imperials as you cannot be a member of both.

You can still use all the magic you want on the Companions quests, though. I guess it's more a question of your role playing sensibilities.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give them a miss for now. I'll head over to Winterhold soon.

Cheers.

Companions are good because you become a werewolf in one of the quests. I never actually use the ability but it is useful as it prevents other diseases. You can throw away all your Cure Disease potions. The random quests are good for improving your combat skills. It's go there and kill an animal in someone's house, thank you here's 200 septims kind of jobs. Or rescue a kidnaped person and escort them home. Or kill an escaped criminal.
