They can be mute, with basic dialogue to access companion utilities and menus. Let us chose the class based on the companions we already have (Or other preset models). If they wanted to go a little further, the basic access dialogue could have several different "personalities" to pick from, with very basic voices we chose, similar to the way we pick a "voice" on the character selection screen.
Or they could create a system that lets us edit their dialogue ourselves. Since only the player can see it, I don't see how it would be problematic. (I doubt this would ever happen, but I can dream xD)
Let us access our own inventory of collected outfits/motifs/hair styles/makeup/accessories/dyes to add to them. Or just give us a fully unlocked character creator with all these options available to make the most interesting companions/houseguests we can come up with.
I've bought custom companion slots or cards in other games in the past to access exactly this kind of functionality, and I would definitely be more than willing to purchase them in ESO.
