Overall I feel like each consecutive companion release was better than the last but I would love to see ZoS stray away from the class format we're stuck to.. give us the Vampire and Werewolf a ton of people in the community want, a Dwemer tinkerer who uses automatons, a psijic mage... go a little crazy with it.

Honestly, I think the only way we could get a Werewolf or Vampire Companion is if they also had some existing Class. Both skill lines have 5 skills each, while a Companion "Class" needs 3 damage dealer, 3 healer, and 3 tanking skills.

ZOS would have to make brand new skills for Werewolf and Vampire, and that still wouldn't be enough in some cases. You'd have to toggle forms to use both Werewolf abilities and standard humanoid abilities like Weapon, Armor, and Guild skills, so they couldn't be slotted on the same bar (ergo, a "Werewolf Class" would lack one or the other).

I just hope ZOS doesn't do what they did with Tanlorin and replace the damage dealer skill line of their Class with some other skill line designed for damage dealing. Werewolf and Vampire should be separate skill lines that are offered on specific Companions in addition to their Class skills.

Give me a companion with a GPT core and eleenlabs voice and I would be happy. Companions and NPCS are all flat and immersion-breaking.

I want the whole character model to be AI generated. Result would most likely look like this:

I'd also be fine with a mage, of course (who may or may not be merged with Sheogorath).

Just like most things in ESO, companions are becoming unimaginative and formulaic.

Update the SYSTEM and CAPABILITIES of them - adding more numbers to the group of companions we have now doesn’t cut it. We need an actual UPDATE

What would you update about the Companions system? I personally want improved combat logic, a buff to certain traits, and a balance pass to all of the Companion abilities added thus far. It'd be nice to be able to equip helmets, as long as they're hidden during dialogue.

I mainly would like to see new Companions utilize new skill lines, like Werewolf/Vampire/Assault/Support/Psijic Order, with a questline that reflects their background there. We already have a Companion who utilizes Soul Magic, but what if we got another who has Soul Magic in addition to their Class damage dealer skills?

Before the release of 2nd Khajiit companion I'd be inclined to say that we are bound to get two companions of three remaining playable races - so Nord, Orc or Bosmer. Given the 2024 year involved Bosmer a lot it seemed like great time for a Bosmer companion. But we've got Altmer and Khajiit - neither linked to the year. I think it's fair to assume that at least one new companion will be of missing three races. Hopefully both are, but we can't be sure.

ZOS made appearing of bosmers in new chapter to make us thing that we get some new wood elf content finally. New hose, new companion or new motife. Haha screw you, bosmers are good only to be antagonist, nothing else.

I think we have more than enough companions in the game already.

I have nearly 1000 of them in Skyrim. There will never be enough companions.

I don't mind the Khajiit, I just wish he had more normal eyes (like Eyes of S'rendarr or just plain blue eyes)

A companion without something unique (Ember's fur pattern, Zerith's eyes, etc) that makes them stand out in the dark.
