Companions get replaced by merchants, but do not return once they are de-activated ??
I am a long-time player of eso and engage in all of the content in the game on console, so my slottable bar is already too small for all of the things that I use including merchants and even siege equipment. Since I often struggle with inventory space, as do the majority of players, I keep the merchant slotted so i can vendor in between fights. But now with the release of companions, I would have to resummon the companion every time I use the merchant and therefore would have to slot it. I understand why they cannot be up at the same time to preserve server performance, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have the companions reappear automatically once the merchant was dismissed similarly to how the non-combat pets reappear once the merchant are dismissed which would greatly increase the QOL of the next chapter and furthermore better improve everyone's experience with the well-awaited companion system
