I solo'd the entire game. Companions only got in my way. I'm serious, they always walk RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME when either assassinating someone, bow shotting someone, casting, whatever. They are seriously retarded, and I never ever used one unless I absolutely had to for a quest.

They only got in my way.

The only thing I thought they were good for was carrying my crap around.

I wonder what they would do if you took all of their weapons away other than a healing staff.

Of course it's possible. I think I've used a companion 2 or 3 times just to get past a certain quest or mob. Otherwise they were just in the way.

Couldn't tell if this was a joke or not at first.

Companions are horrible, unless you get one in god mode (I suggest Mercer Frey, he's kinda tough, and has high stealth)

I killed the one the gave me, bitch was following me around, I didn't like it

I avoid them as much as possible. Always breaking my damn stealth.

I leave the one with an L in my house in Whitehaven. Can't even remember her stupid name.

i solo'd the whole thing with my stealth archer, was pretty easy. the dragons can be a little hard since stealth doesn't really work, but the brotherhood horse tanks em like a pro. i do suggest you get the i think pickpocket skill that ads 200 carrying capacity, because you won't have a mule to carry all your ****

This... and once you have a house they're pointless for that even.

Although... if you can find one with good gear early on you can go get them killed and loot their good stuff. grin

I solo'd a lot in Skyrim. However, on dungeons with a lot of magic guys, I usually bring along the Aela the Huntress girl.

My dude is level 81, with a set of enchanted daedric armor that has a rating of like 1120, enchanted with 100% MP reduction on destruction and restoration spells. Every one of those 80 levelups went into health because you can heal stamina and no spells cost anything. I started giving all my potions and items away because I have no use for money. (190K with all the houses bought and furnished)

Here is the best part: I haven't done even the first quest yet. I have obviously talked to people to buy things, but never actually did a quest. Now I am going to march through all of them

you must have done some quests to unlock some of those buildings at least. You mean the main quest?

Derp. Yeah I did the one for the house that also gets you dragon encounters. lol. i kinda feel like the game is in tutorial mode until you actually fight dragons. I havent bought the other houses yet. I just did on my other character so I know the prices n stuff. My goal is to beat everything with my claws as a khajit. the heavy armor perk that gives your armor bonus to your unarmed damage as well as the multiplier for being khajit and a few random items to beef up the damage. I will run through the game kitty-scratching everything to death
