Can I be a companion and a Stormcloak?

1 Answer. You can still finish the quests for the Companions - joining the Stormcloaks and taking Whiterun actually has very little impact on practical gameplay, as it mostly just replaces some NPCs with some other NPCs, and some NPCs become happier than some others.

Can you join Stormcloaks and companions?

There is literally nothing keeping you from doing both. Joining the Companions merely helps you be a warrior and a werewolf. Joining the Stormcloaks merely puts you against the Imperial forces in Skyim. Yes, as a Stormcloak you need to capture Whiterun, but doing so doesn't hinder your progress as a Companion.

Can you unite the Imperials and Stormcloaks in Skyrim?

There is no such option in-game. The war part between the factions must be completed taking one of the sides and doing the missions. No, at least not in an unmodded game. The civil war plotlines have no "third option".

Pick Imperial if you want to play a character who is originally from a place aside from Skyrim, as it doesn't make sense to fight under a banner that ultimately won't accept you. Pick Stormcloak if you believe the Empire has no right to say what Skyrim denizens can and can't do, especially if you are a Nord.

Does joining the Stormcloaks affect anything?

Joining up mostly affects the camps you can visit. Being a Stormcloak makes Imperial camps and forts hostile and vice versa but the major cities generally won't be affected.
