Companions (Like Oblivion/Skyrim)

Any chance we are going to be getting proper companions down the line. I think that is one of the things sorely missing, the ability to have a companion follow you around on your adventures during your solo trekking. Maybe have it so that you can have one with you at a time, but if you group up it takes a player spot, so 2 people playing together could have 2 companions out, but once a third person joins the group only one player in said group could have a companion out.

    They already exist. They're called other players. Try taking one along on an adventure sometime :wink:

    I have suggested this very thing... in quite a bit of detail.

    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

    Exactly.

    NPC Companions will be a huge mistake if they're implemented. Maybe in 8 years time when the population has significantly dropped, but even then they're really not needed. ESOTU is vastly a single player game.

    If you can be anything, be kind.

    There were hireable companions in beta, and pvp mercenary contracts for a few months after launch. Both had pretty serious unintended consequences, and the game is better for having them removed.

    I saw someone when questing and they had a companion named "mercenary" following them, I thought it was part of a quest so I did it (I was on the way to quest zone when I saw them) but never did a quest in which I had a mercenary follow me and I completed quest area

    For clarification, I was questing in rivenspire, fell's run, the manor by in and northpoint then doom crag. Don't really remember what area I saw them in but it was last night and that's where I picked up. I wanna say it was in the doom crag area when activating the portals

    that is another player's quest NPC follower.
    quest followers are temporary and they will leave once you've finished certain objectives,
    and they will appear as some generic mercenaries/mages/etc to other players
