How to conquer Kuttenberg

Companion Squad, created by Steam user Triget, allows players to summon an army of 30 mercenaries for an assault on Kuttenberg. Allies such as Hans Capon and Radzig join, increasing the force to 43 soldiers. Henry, the protagonist, is humorously pantless due to a save transfer issue. The army, initially defensive, engages in a skirmish with the city guard and eventually overwhelms them. However, the situation spirals out of control as the army indiscriminately attacks nobles and townsfolk, leading to chaos. By nightfall, seven soldiers are dead, and Henry reflects on the violence. He ultimately takes control of Kuttenberg, but faces severe repercussions for the destruction caused during the coup.

8 strong Elder Scrolls opinions: With over 2,500 combined hours (and not all as stealth archers), we shout at each other about Skyrim, Morrowind, and Oblivion

The editors advocate for a focus on interactivity, highlighting the immersive experience of manipulating the game environment. They also express interest in an Elder Scrolls television series, suggesting it could explore the franchise's lore while fans await The Elder Scrolls 6.
