Are you going to use the new Companions, Tanlorin and Zerith-Var?

I will use Zerith-Var only

I'll have to make a note of that...he fussed at me for giving coin to a beggar. I guess he's super-big on self-reliance?

Or he just knows that most (or even all?) beggars in ESO are scammers (at least the ones that will approach you as a random encounter; it's different with the few war refugess one can give a few coins to). It's more than just slightly implied through their dialogues.

That's probably true, but still...I need that achievement!

I will not use either

Classic no no I don’t use them. They are absolutely useless for my play style . When i feel like I want to use one I can grab one of those free that I already unlocked. Not worth my time and money.

Companions are optional. I won't use any.

Soarora

I am undecided

I really like the kitty but also I only use companions so I can level their friendship (neither of the new companion passives interest me), so I can get companion gear drops (mmm money), and so I have a little healing/dpsing help (any companion can do this). If I like him on PTS, I might get him. I might also not. The Altmer I’m uninterested in, so I wouldn’t buy them individually. Wish I could trade Azandar for the kitty.

Tornaad

I will level both to get their specials permanently unlocked, but after that, will very likely go back to Ember.

Dark_Lord_Kuro

I will use Zerith-Var only

The necro for sure! The other one realy will depend on how the handle the non binarty thing. These kind of character can easily be badly writen and become unbearable. At the very least i'll do her quest.

Most wholesome interaction, only compares to when you accidentally loot an item off of a Guild Merchant’s stall and Bastion loses his sanity.

Like, bro. Chill out, I’ll put it back.

Did you put it back though? Or did you destroy it or sell it for some quick cash? 😉

AzuraFan

I am undecided

It depends on what you mean by "use".

I don't use Ember or Bastian. I only use Sharp when I'm fishing. I know he doesn't have to be out to get his perk, but I like his comments. I use Isobel for the occasional single target, when I think a tank might be useful. Not very often.

I use Mirri and Azandar a lot. Mirri because I like her sarcasm, and Azandar because when I'm doing content that's difficult for me, he does the best job out of the current six companions of keeping me alive.

Will I use the two new ones? I'll level them up to get their perks. After that, unless they do a better job than Azandar or I absolutely love their personalities, they'll gather dust.

So right now, I'm undecided. I need to see them in action.

MrGarlic

I will use both

They will be great for the account I have that doesn't already have access to any other companions.

I like the companions. I think they are a good addition to the game for those of us who do not mix well with others people.

Hapexamendios

I am undecided

I unlock them, max level and rep and using them after that will depend on how annoying they are. So far the only companion who doesn't annoy me to some degree is Sharp.

Bradyfjord

I will not use either

I don't use companions. But more power to those who do.

I doubt how it's handled will even be an issue. Based upon previous instances in game, it's not likely they've even built a storyline about a character being non-binary. They'll probably just use the non-binary pronouns, nobody else comments on it either way, and not much else beyond that. It'll be like Isobel's storyline, where Isobel being lgbtq wasn't noted in the story. She just was.

I'd go as far as saying that if it wasn't specifically mentioned in the U44 livestream, nobody would even notice until after they're released and some observant players point out that their specific gender is never even addressed.

spartaxoxo

I will use both

I want both of those bonuses and I'm subbed to plus until next year, at least. So, yes, absolutely.

FelisCatus

I will use Zerith-Var only

I think for obvious reasons I'll only be using the khajiit.

bmnoble

I will use both

At the very least I will level them both up and perhaps unlock their perks assuming they are not tied to any especially stupid requirements.

Elvenheart

I will use both

Both. I would rather do quests I haven’t done before than repeat older quests so in that sense the companions represent new quests to do. I have 11 fully leveled characters and across them all have done every quest in the game at least once, a lot more than once (somewhat reluctantly or after a lot of time has passed).

I have unlocked all the current companions on every character, and tailored the companions to be used with certain characters for either practical or roleplaying purposes. I do wish when we first unlock the companion with a character all of the other characters had the option to skip the unlock quest like we can with ToT. I might or might not skip the quests depending on if I like them or not, but it would be nice for everyone to have that option.

I’m really excited about having new quests to do and new companions to level with new perks that actually sound useful. I wish we could turn off this potent potions dropping all the time!

Most wholesome interaction, only compares to when you accidentally loot an item off of a Guild Merchant’s stall and Bastion loses his sanity.

Bastian hates it when you cook certain things. And Isobel gets all upset if I enter the thieves den. I can live with that.

Mirri just throws a tantrum!

Maybe that will be the chapter feature for 2025.

For real, it’s so obnoxious to deal with.

Assuming that I can be conned into another ESO plus sub.

LunaFlora

I will use both

i love both Tanlorin and Zerith-Var and i am excited to meet them both in-game soon

Destai

I will use Zerith-Var only

I think if I unlock any of them, I’d go with the Necromancer companion. The other’s story doesn’t really appeal to me. However, since they’re in the crown store and were previously part of the chapters, I might just forego them entirely.

Punches_Below_Belt

I will use both

Why wouldn’t I? They both have good perks and are just another facet of the game to enjoy. I’ve enjoyed leveling up every other companion. I’m sure I’ll enjoy these two as well.

Mascen

quite frankly i find the perks rather redundant this time around

Never got hit with that 5 streak of failures with a 90% chance to force it? I envy you!

I think that's loading issues, actually. If you wait until half of the time (or so) is up, chances are good it won't break.
