So he doesn't like it when you loot and pillage. It's aggravating having to unsummon him every time I want to loot something, but at least it makes some sense because it's criminal behavior and he's a goody-two-shoes. I get it. But when he gets upset at me for doing my provisioning daily and cooking wine I draw the line. That's just stupid. lol

Mirri does not care when I use mesmerize on NPCs. I don't know about feeding yet, haven't tried it, but I'd imagine Bastion the Weenie would not approve of any of it.

It sounds like I'm going to have to wait until ZOS comes out with a less sensitive companion. Bastion the Weenie wouldn't like my main because she's a vampire, an assassin, and she steals anything that's not nailed down. Mirri would have a problem with my main because she kills anything that moves for fishing bait. We need a new companion that has an evil darkside!

Wdym?? It's so much more than that. I can solo dungeons now, or have my roommate login and together we can have a full party and do veteran dungeons. So much better than random queues and dealing with pugs.
I'm not asking this to doubt or challenge you @Elusiin , I genuinely am interested to know:
How, though?!
I tried taking them through NORMAL dungeons on the PTS with maxed out purple gear, and they died A LOT. Right when I kinda needed them, too. They were fine in fights that's weren't difficult to begin with, but when the going got tough they invariably took a dirt nap in the middle of the action. Or when they were alive, they'd often just roll away from the action which just scatters our foes all over the room -- and that's far from ideal.
Most notably, though, is that they can't obey mechanics at all; they're totally oblivious to them, even if all they need to do to live is follow me. (For example, fully tanked out max purple gear Bastian dopily waded through all the super obvious "DO NOT WALK HERE" fire mechanics during the last boss fight in Black Drake Villa, even though I had jumped down into the pit well in advance to try to prevent it. Mirri with the most heals I could stack her with fared slightly better, but ultimately was toasted by mechanics as well.)
So how did you make them work for Veteran content? Are we talking like vFungal Grotto here, or am I just doing something really wrong with my Companions?
I personally find Bastian way easier to live with than Mirri, who loses rapport if you pick a torchbug or kill a rat, or take her to any dock area.
I also personally like Bastian as a character more.

Same here. I do a lot of picking bugs on my way to just about any where I"m going so Mirri is a hard pass. I didn't even last 10 seconds with her out before I lost rapport
At least with Bastian, I can stow him away before I do anything nefarious or craft any provisioning stuff.

yeah it's a LOT easier to manage Bastian's dislikes than Mirri's, because for me I only do murdering/stealing on ONE character, out of 18 total so.
And as someone who also has a dislike for alcohol due to IRL family troubles, then it's easy for me to remember Bastian's dislike.

He doesn't approve of making tea either. So be warned.

Mirri is the only companion I don't mind since she has no qualms with me taking everything not bolted down, likes it when I brew wine, and when I set her to a ranged only fighter she isn't in my way. Wish she was a little more useful, but I get a little sad running by a bunch of torch bugs knowing I can't pick them up without unsummoning her.

Most drinks I can't even tell WHAT they are, so I'd just put him away for cooking, which I only do once a day (at best)
VS picking bugs, something I do intentionally AND accidentally numerous times a day

Same, they already announced he was good before the comps even launched so anyone having a problem with that, it's their own faults.
Personally i'm tired of the tendacy to rag on every non-toxic male character in gaming for being "soft" or "weak". Being good is not being weak. It causes devs to constantly create toxic abusive males. Like Bioware does. Half the male companions in Swtor are either toxic, abusers, murderers, way to forward with their advances or betray you and you're always put into a position where you must forgive them for something. I'm personally tired of the trope, and the thing is, people never even like the edgelord characters they demand. Almost all of the edgelord companions in Swtor are the most hated.
Anyway i'll give ZOS time to iron out some of the likes/dislikes. I remember when Fallout 4 first launched and you had companions that would like things they were supposed to be against.
