I still hear mine talking and expressing likes and dislikes even if we just run from one place to another.
And in case of other player's companions, I really don't want to know who they are. The opposite. My companion feels more like a person and an individual if there aren't 20 obvious clones of him around.@Syldras | PC | EU
The forceful expression of will gives true honor to the Ancestors.

They still have unique voices, abilities and reactions, and even some unique animations.
We don't see those when they are just running by with the player.
No, but from our perspective other player's Mirri is not Mirri anyway, just someone who looks kinda similar. It doesn't make much sense for 1000s of Mirris to exist at the same time.

Q: I just want to give them a hat so they don't look the same as everyone else... any thoughts on changing your stance on this?
TM: We do have discussions about the level of flexibility we want to give users on a Companion’s appearance “from the neck-up” – like hats, or different hairstyles. One of the early design considerations with companions was the balance between "identity" and "customization" for each companion. We wanted to give players as much freedom to customize their traveling companion, while at the same time keeping the identity of the companion the same. We ended up with "no hats" on companions because it hit that sweet spot - where players can make them look any way they wish, but the character and identity of the companion doesn't change because you always see their face.
Translation: We tried hats and Hairstyles on Companions but it crashed the entire engine.....
Kidding....well maybe not....
