I did that once. Found a group of soldier NPCs in Elsweyr. All women with a male Commander. Had an idea that maybe they tease him cause he's outnumbered. It was cute. Shared the joke. Thread got closed. Account warning.
So forgive me for being insulted when I see people turning Companions into sexual objects and ZOS lets it happen.
What exactly do you want ZOS to do about it?
They limit our ability to equip headgear on Companions. Should they exclude certain costumes and outfit styles too?
Or do we have to sign a waiver, promising that we are mature gamers who respect the strong, independent NPCs who're our Companions as part of their introductory quest?
I'm not trying to make fun here, but rather try to figure out what tangible action you want ZOS to take.1 -
aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭If it was a different female NPC would you be as offended? Maybe you and Mirri are getting a little too close?0 -

Umm, have you never played a game, like DA-3 or SWTOR where companions ARE sexual objects? Did you not read ZOS's blurbs about companions and where relationships MIGHT lead?

✭✭✭✭Some of us guys would VERY MUCH like a Companion that looks like Chris Hemsworth or Sam Elliot, yes indeed we would. Bastian isn't quite my type physically--he is a little "rugged" for my taste--but his personality pushes him firmly into "adorable" territory.
Honestly though after that latest Thor photo I don't think ESO's arm sliders go far enough to portray Hemsworth...!2 -

I wasn't sure I liked him until after a fight he asked if I was hurt. The way he said it... I was like 'Hell yes I'm hurt! You sir can bandage me up anytime
'.
I haven't got Mirri yet so idk about her. I've tried a few outfits and costumes on Bastian though. Feels weird to me to put him in a skimpy outfit. I've been leaning more towards a normal look or decked in armor type of thing for him. Like a manly look which is the opposite of how I normally dress my male character (tbh he sometimes looks like a man hoe just sayin'). I imagine Mirri will be much the same as Bastian and the exact opposite of how I dress my female characters. I don't dress them skimpy because I'm objectifying them. It's cuz they get to wear stuff I wouldn't normally (never in a million years) wear in real life.Well, being an old bag, I'd have been happy with this guy ...
I ain't old yet but even I'd melt for Sam Elliot.
Tbh I was hoping for a Gideon Emery voiced companion. I don't know what it is about that man's voice but my gawds.Edited by cynicalbutterfly on June 9, 2021 5:59PM1 -

✭✭✭Regarding character and voice, my main would have fallen in love with Bastian... if he were a Mer. Since he is not, even the tattoos do not help.

Okay, but how?
That's not tangible action, so much as it sounds like griping over past disciplinary action. You might want to take that to the mods instead of rehashing it here.0 -
vallisas✭✭✭With the boys too, those tats are amazing, and I like his VA. I also have a thing for gingers currently so i'm glad they made him ginger instead of another boring blonde cullen type which we've seen thousands of times. I'm glad Zenimax didn't make him an ass, like Bioware almost every single one of their male characters.

vallisas✭✭✭Adding to the above post, i'm really curious to see what they do with Bastian storywise. Some of his dialogue has me questioning his history. That maybe he's not as clean cut as he initially appears. Bastian hates taking lives unecessarily. But when you come across bandits or something he says something like "Robbers only deserve killing". Hmmmm what happened to him to make bandits the exception.0

If Bastian's backstory is ever fleshed out, expect shallow contrivances more than any depth.Edited by Abigail on June 9, 2021 8:34PM2 -
vallisas✭✭✭I have more faith. I believe they said they didn't just want to put companions there and leave them, I think they intend to add more and more to them as time goes on. I think that was influential in the decision to launch with only two. Had they launched with like 10 or so then i'd be worried about any of them getting development.0

Teasing him by feeding on, blade of woe-ing, and robbing innocent bystanders will never not be entertaining.
Getting decent rapport between them is going to be a long journey full of highs and lows.2
