Please for the sake of the game no. There’s already too much pets everywhere. With companions every city and town would be overcrowded with them.

The next problem is how easy overland content is. With a companion you could basically go afk while playing.

I think the idea itself isn’t bad but it doesn’t fit into the current ESO.

Highly doubt what you're saying would occur.

And to the ppl saying there would be balance issues... It's not a companion that can attack like you can... It's more like the companions u get sometimes for quests... They attack, but it barely takes any life off the enemy... So no balance issues and they won't be a crutch for new players...

First off, do not treat us like we are ignorant and do not twist your statements here as you did clearly state a battle companion and did not differentiate between one that actually did something vs one that would be the worthless joke you are explaining here.

Secondly companions exist... Pets exist... No one think about them because we are so used to them, but they're everywhere... These combat companions will do such a basic attack that there will be no additional load... And it's not like everyone will have one because clearly u won't

Second, no one is arguing about the existence of pets. We know they exist so it seems you are just being condescending in suggesting otherwise.

Further, you are making a false statement that their would be no additional load with these combat companions just doing a basic attack. The reality is they are doing something more than a non-combat pet so they are in fact adding to the server load.

If u read my original post...I did specify the damage would be minimal...so u went on ur rant for no reason

This reminds me of a thread over in reddit where someone suggested a Witcher MMO. Vast majority of people trashed the idea, “Witcher’s are rare, not enough monsters, won’t work.” Only one person suggested the mmo be set during The Conjunction of Spheres, where an mmo would be more lore friendly and appropriate.

My point is people seem to just trash ideas and never offer up compromise or solution. This concept is already in the game, there are quests where you have an npc following you and doing negligible damage, you see other players on same quest with their own NPC. OP is asking for something like that on a permanent basis, block them from being used in dungeons and trials. If you have server concerns start demanding from Zenimax the servers be improved so these sorts of things can be included instead of dogging every idea.

Followers have been in game since Morrowind, becoming more and more involved with each entry. There’s no reason not to have simple followers in ESO.

Thank you for understanding
