I do not want to have to become a werewolf, but seeing where it is necessary to continue on with the Companion quest lines, at least some of them.
I was told to talk with Skjor, so it is on my "quest" page now, but; could I not just ignore all the quest and the Companions completely from this point on out? It won't have a negative bearing on the main objective of the game will it? Or on any other factions in the game? I have not seen where it goes into this detail, not on the USEPWiki pages or these or anywhere I can find? Will you be able to do most of the quest in the game still? How valuable is it to even finish this? It is not a required faction in how the game ends right?
I am on xbox 360, version 1.00.4 I believe.

The Companion quest-line is a side-quest, so it is non-essential to the plot line. For the sake of completion, you get a title, and a pretty nifty axe if you want it, and every time after when you visit Jorrvaskr everyone knows your name (reminds me of an old sitcom...)
However, there are ways to cure the Werewolf curse, which is actually part of the Companion's quest line. And if you got the Dawnguard DLC, you can choose to become another mythical creature, which will override the werewolf curse, however, curing that can be a bit trickier.
