I've only had 2-4 crashes, but all of them was on pressing R to loot a container.
I agree wholeheartedly. My venting-rant on this questline from another forum:
The Companions' questline. So awful. Bethesda's writers have no sense of pacing whatsoever.
So, as you join the Comps they foreshadow about not everything being right among them and that they are more than they seem. Being the fool I am, I went all "a mystery? In the fighter faction? This is great!" While I did not expect anything grand, but at least something, well, mysterious. Of course, they prove me wrong and ruin any kind of suspense immediately. In the second damned quest, they completely give it away by having my Companion companion shift into a werewolf right in front of you. They've must have taken for granted that the player would squee and go "A werewolf, awesome! Werewolves are great! That is really super cool!" because while you can talk to the werewolf about it, there are no options to be either surprised, horrified, or even slightly disliking of it in any way. Oh, and when asked about the group of werewolf hunters he just killed, it's just waved away with a, and I'm not even paraphrasing much here, "They are bad people who don't like werewolf so they don't like us" and that's it. You're werewolves, for gods sake! You're cursed and kill people! They hunt you because werewolves are dangerous! But of course, the Companions are the designated Good Guys, so everyone opposing them have to be EVIL, right? Right? What kind of player could possibly see anything wrong with that or want to criticise or comment on that in any way?
And it continues. I get to join the companions, obviously, and find out that only the Circle, the Comp management, are werewolves and that the the Head Comp want to cure them. I go do one more quest, beating up some shop owner for whatever reasons, and then gets taken aside by two Circle members and they want to let me into the Circle and they have to make me a werewolf if I want to join. This is the fourth fucking quest, and they want to put me among the leadership of the faction. These two doesn't know me, have hardly talked to me before and during the four days gone by since I walked into their guildhall I've spent more time selling the loot from the quests than doing actual questwork for the faction for God's sake! Not to mention that there are about half a dozen other Comps that has been in the guild longer than me and should at least be above a complete newcomer in the promotion cue, yet somehow I'm still going to be part of the Circle. It's just plain stupid and makes me angry more than excited or anything else.
Oh, and yeah, they have to make me werewolf in secret because the Head Comp, who wants a cure, doesn't want any more werewolves and thus can't find out. At this point, still just the fourth quest, there is no way to proceed without becoming a werewolf. I can't even say "no, I don't want to be a werewolf" or "no, I don't want to be a Circle member" and go back to doing basic grunt work quests! So I turn them down (and they're all "well come back when you want to be a werewolf we'll be waiting lol") and think that, hey, maybe I can tell the Head Comp about this and get around being a werewolf! But of course, not a chance, that's not not EPIC dude, get back on the railroad already!
And I was suddenly very, very tired with the game. So basic options. Why can't they do the logical thing and add them. Why. Why do I expect these simple things when Beth is obviously not ever going to be anything other than hack writers. If it's so damn necessary to be a werewolf why can't they just have an option to refuse and then have these two Comps force it on me anyway or something. Illusion of choice, for fucks sake! That's all I want! Can't you even deliver that in your "sandbox" game, Bethesda?
Of course, when I go back to playing after posting this, I guess I'll have to become a werewolf anyway. And most likely, the ceremony will either be interrupted by Head Comp or Head Comp will wait outside when we're finished and finding out anyway. And I will groan and put my head through the desk and my palm through my face at the same time. But you obviously can't have me telling him myself.
Where there one? I haven't gone very long into the questline yet and if there won't be one I want to reload an earlier save before I do too much other stuff.
