The Companions of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim are generally seen as one of the weaker factions in the game, at least conceptually. This is because the group’s associated questline isn’t as compelling as the likes of the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood. It also isn’t as lengthy of a campaign. Perhaps one of the faction’s few upsides is that it has some of the more memorable NPCs in the game, such as Farkas Vilkas and Aela the Huntress.
