Anyone could easily invest 200+ hours just exploring Tamriel, leveling up and completing quests. Consisting of a massive open-world full of dungeons, castles, ruins, mountains, swamps, forests and countless enemies. It’s a strong system overall and makes them extremely useful for solo players.Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion was a state-of-the-art benchmark for gaming before Skyrim. With their own bar of skills, you can allocate the order they use them and will be used automatically in combat, where their ultimate can be restricted to activate manually. As they level up, they learn more skills and even get their own ultimate (each only has one though). If you’re a DPS and you need a Tank, then you can customise the companion to suit that. As they can equip any type of weapon, whether thats a bow, restoration staff, or two-handed weapon, they can fulfil any role you need. This means they do level up relatively slowly if you’re using a low level character.

Companions gain experience and level up just like you do, although they only gain a portion of experience from enemies killed, not from sources like completing quests. With their own class, abilities and equipment, they are incredibly customisable and allow for a variety of builds, just like your character. They act in most ways just like another player character. Companions are such a brilliant and much needed addition to the game.
