Exploring the vast landscapes of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim can be a lonely journey, with the companions in the base game quickly becoming stale or repetitive. Skyrim has a large collection of weapons, armor, and quests, but doing it all alone can become a quiet affair. Thanks to the modding community, players can add new layers of entertainment to Skyrim, with mods adding new character creation, lots more quests, and importantly, new companions.
