I think the Companions of Jorrvaskr could have been unique if their members would randomly quest through Skyrim's caves and ruins. Imagine sneaking and charging past some Dwemer machines and out of nowhere Aela and Njada run in to help out. After a "oh hi, we were retrieving some things for XXX and YYY" they decide to tag along for the remaining ride. Now allows us to induct our followers into the companion's ranks, and we could run into Lydia and Iona tagging together well inside Volunruud, asking you out of nowhere to help them retrieve a heirloom sword (lookie! Vilkas gave them the quest you normally get). Now THAT would be fun.
