I think a few more would be cool. Like only 2 options?

I'm sure they are testing the waters to see how popular they are. If enough people use them, there will be more in the Crown Store and (sadly) probably in Crown Crates too.

Ya but its kind of the same problem with houseguests. Im very interested in buying them but they havent released any im interested in. Im very interested in companions but I want a good selection to fine one I like.

Stop bickering you guys. You MUST chill

I wish also they would allow players design the companion. And if they talk, choose voice too.

Also can he/she finally play norm dragonstar arena with me? sweet.

I have no friends lol

Ps. Pls add activity finder for arenas.

I must say, the argument about semantics in this thread is very tedious.

What if my character got married 5 years ago and my stupid spouse never logs in?

Can I get an ESO divorce?

What I hope for more is that the names are placeholders and not final; neither Bastian nor Mary (?!) are appropriate for an Imperial or Dunmer character, respectively. Especially Mary.
Which is weird, because the game is otherwise good at using lore-friendly names for NPCs.

I still think these are strange short forms, probably of Bastianus and Marise or something. Would still prefer them to have normal names, though.

I just wonder when roleplaying changed from adventuring to a fashion and conversion club - that isn't role playing as I know it. Tbh it is really disgusting to see the (d)evolution from pen&paper to these kind of role play, which isn't any near to what it once was.

There are many different types of roleplay, and not all of them (based on) classic p&p. There are letter roleplaying games, subforms of LARP that are more like improvision theatre, chat and forum roleplays... The very basic definition of a roleplay is "acting like someone else within a story setting", nothing less, nothing more. And actually people dressing up and taking different roles than they are in reality is a thing mankind has always done, millennia before p&p was invented.

If I adventure with a friend within ESO and have an AI companion with me that I declare my servant, then I want to have him dressed in a way that reflects that, as a servant would be dressed differently than a mage or a guard. If you don't need that - fine, you don't have to. Some people would enjoy it.

Once everything happened in your imagination with your own pictures in your head, today unfortunately everything is visually pre-prepared. I miss that times.

No one forbids you to meet with friends in the evening or at the weekend and play DSA or D&D. But ESO is visual, so I want a bit of visual customization. Not because I'm not able to use my imagination. I actually do enjoy computer RPGs as well as any written forms of roleplaying.

Bastion will be getting a skeleton skin and be my Necro's permanent Minion!

really wish they dumped the transform for a melee skele/draugr knight/assassin, and a perma cast like the fluffy... that gets in the way of everything and does less damage than the other 4 summons<_<

I can see the future and our choices are:

A: Clones

B: Waifus, waifus everywhere.

Waifus are awesome

The crown store will be strong with this one.

This This is all a potential monetization goldmine...

Aaannnnnnddddd if they give me the ability to customize they WILL MAKE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OFF OF ME AND EVERY OTHER ROLEPLAYER.

Instead of shoeboxing me into having a dunmer or an imperial. Two of my LEAST FAVORITE RACES.

So this whole system means nothing to me until I can either make my own choices with appearance, or they release an altmer companion.

But seriously. Not adding in A. An option for every race from the start or B. Customized companions, is going to be a serious missed money making opportunity.

*edit* This applies to houseguest as well. I would already dropped good money on house guests but you only add in a select few races and options. Like I don't want anything you have available and it boggles me that zenimax can't just add more literally anytime. Look how many freaking npcs are in the game. Crud just let me walk up and recruit literally any npc for my houses.

Must.? People are using that word much too often, when in reality what they really mean is "I want"..

That is not for you to determine.

Absolutely not but the 2 things are very different.. and when people on the forum say "need", in 95% of the cases we are talking about a "want"

Again, that is not for you to determine. It is not your business, job, career, position or anything else to determine what is a "need" or a "want" for another person.

It kinda is our business when OP is saying "us" and not "I". OP can't say what the rest of us must have.

Want dark sexy succubus platinum blond companion !!!

Need more companions like this

Good person, the term you are looking for is Dark Seducer.

@CMDR_Un1k0rn They said platinum blond! That's clearly a Golden Saint, not a seducer! Not sure why anyone would want one of them though, they are so terribly cranky. Almost like they always wake up on the wrong side of Oblivion .
