Summary:
The quest from the towns called 'Needs help with brigands' is unbalanced. In order to assign a companion to it, you need a combat skill at about 150. 150 is an extremly high amount of skill points for most of the wanderer type companions in the game, I think only lord type companions like your brother and any wives you marry will have higher potential combat skills than 150 by default. 150 skill points for a companion mission involving simple looter slaying is excessive and should be lowered to match the tier of troops required during the mission.
