A question to skyrim players:

Is it worth doing the Companions quest?

I've held it off till this point (lvl 41, khajiit) as I didn't want the character to turn into a werewolf (or a vampire, for that matter)...

I know its reversible, but it can't be done till the end of the side quest-line, and I'm not of the kind who just focuses on one quest at a time...

I usually have around all my quests active (that's like 25+ excluding the individual misc quest), as I prefer it that way, so my quest lines don't finish off early and takes me a bunch of time (but it gives me an all-round character)

I didn't like the part where your follower leaves your service because you may tear him up...(I depend plenty on my follower Erandur, so can't go completely without him)...

So, is it worth doing the quest line at this stage?

Or I can hold it off for later (still)?

Not too much interested in vampirism and lyncanthropy...

Or is there any workaround available, where I can skip the becoming-werewolf part and still continue unhindered?

Its worth it. Aela is an awesome companion to have. And you get Ysgramor War axe. And can become a werewolf (don't worry you can UNbecome one at the end if you have 1 extra witch head. But remember once you go back you can never turn into a werewolf again)

And your follower leaves your service because you can't have more than 1 follower and in some missions you're assigned followers. And really the werewolf doesn't have too many cons. Only one is no sleep bonus. And don't let anyone see you while transforming... because you will just kill your entire gameplay.. aka everyone will try to kill you forever werewolf or not..
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
I've always quit it at the moment where I get the option to become a werewolf, as I didn't see how it could be of any use to me. In truth the only advantage to lycanthropy I can see is that it can get you out of a tight spot when you're a lower-level character... provided you kill everyone in sight.

You don't develop any skills by slashing about as a werewolf! So it's really a matter of whether you prefer to slash your way through everything and not level whilst doing so, or not. This, for me, was the biggest reason to say no. Everyone I know is only level 40-ish because they play as a werewolf a lot, and I don't and I'm level 82, same gametime.

For me as a ranged/magic character, there is simply no point in becoming a werewolf. With a fully enchanted nightingale bow and all items, as well as ebony arrows, I take down an Elder dragon in two shots...

Keep in mind the companion questline is highly buggy. There's a 50% chance you will NOT be able to undo the lycanthropy because of that!

Pro:

- High DPS attack

- Fast running when in wolf form

- Immune to vampire bites

- Carryweight increases to 1900 in wolf form. (Good luck trying to get into the city to get to your house like that, though.)

Con:

- No skill points (= no leveling from the attacks.)

- Transform once where people see you and you're better off reloading a savegame. Mass murder is easier to get away with than transforming.

- Everyone will attack you on sight when in wolf form.

- You take extra damage from silver weapons

- When in wolf form (which isn't a switch to toggle, you have to wait for it to end) you can't pick locks, open chests, nor collect items and loot corpses.

- You're too big to fit through most dungeons

-Health does not regenerate in combat, you need to eat people for that.

- You can transform once a day for 2,5 minutes.

- When you change back, you need to re-equip everything.

- While in combat mode (claws drawn) you can't trigger anything. Doors, switches, levers, nothing.

Meh:

- No 'well rested' bonus (does anyone actually sleep in this game, anyway? Except once for the DB questline to start?)

- You don't need to become a werewolf to get access to the trainers in the Companions. Just joining them and doing the first few quests is enough.

Personally I'd say no, it's not worth it.

You need something called the Ring of Hircine to really get the advantage out of being a WW. Adds one more transformation a day that you control (technically unlimited since it resets if you un, then re-equip it).

I have it on my journal, but I haven't activated it since, again, it was related to werewolves, and I don't like that...

There is a glitch (not like a cheating glitch) where you can invest in the store (can't remember the name) in the little town at the foot of the mountains where the grey beards are.. when you invest, they have 10,000 gold every 48 hours.. its a quick way to get money and unload all the crap you don't need/want..

And then there is the navel combat system now.. its going to be amazing..

Now with Subject 16 gone, I'm wondering how they are going to tie the stories together.. his exactly do me make the (SPOILER ALERT, IF YOU DIDNT FINISH REVELATIONS, LOOK AWAY)

How do we go from Ezio leaving the gear and hidden blade in the tomb with Altaïr's skeleton to it making it across the ocean and into Connors hands.. while I'm sure it will be a group of assassins in the states, you know that Altaïr's armor will show up somehow...

I don't think altairs armour is in the game. Some are saying that armour isn't in the game, only outfits. Ezio's brotherhoood outfit is a Uplay reward though but that's nothing to do with the story i think. Unfortunately, i've had the ending spoiled for me now.

I suggest, have a look at those videos, there are walkthroughs uploaded so you get a basic idea about the game and then think of buying it. For the graphics its worth it, but for gameplay I think it won't do much justice compared to original MW. But anyhow you do get the chance to mess with cops.
