I hope we get more personal quests for Bastian and Mirri in the future.

I don't know if I'm in the minority in this, but I enjoy having these 2 around, especially so after their personal quests. I just want to see more of them😂

Really hope we get new quests for them, it would really be a shame if they just stop adding content to these 2.

Like, by the eight just let me meet Mirri's extended family pretty please? And please just let her mom adopt me already!

Bastian: Literal red headed step child.
Mirri: Your dad is... a great book, a good song, and a terrible movie. Seriously?

Wet blanket, I am. My expectation is that all new companion quest content will be linked to new companions. At some point, they largely stopped going back into existing content and adding to it. I think that this was just to complete desired stuff that they did not have time to finish. I can remember when they used to drop new Hireling emails on us, and brag about it. Now, I would expect that they would simply not want more than they can finish in the first pass.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I suspect that ZOS expects us to drop these two like a hot potato when the next Companions come out.

Of course, if ZOS doesn't add any new content for Mirri and Bastian, it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy as players drop them just because they have nothing new.

It's easy to develop 2 companions but what about future? Somehow I don't see them making dozen of quests for every companion. The more they will give for these two, the more players will be expect from any future companions. Problematic is also expending already sold and old DLC content (better is making content for all players, not only specific DLC owners).

I think that it will be go more in making new features and functions for companions.

We will see what future will brings, but personally I prefer to have more choice with different companions than making these two more and more complex...

woufff

I also have and still am enjoying the personnel quests with Mirri and Bastian, I really like this new content.

Hopefully there will be new quests for them, let's see

Well yes, on one condition. I want a button that switches their voice off, not just such a infrequent but plain and simple off!

If I hear one of those three combat and harvesting phrases once more I swear I’m going to bludgeon the little beggars!

It’s like having a nervous tick outside your head! 🤬

Right now I just turn them on each time we approach a fight or a treasure chest. I just can’t hear stand hearing those same three phrases over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!

Yeah, infrequent option is not infrequent at all. I don't want them to be completely mute, but htere should be option "very, very infrequent"

"Problem, sera?"

"Problem, sera?"

"Problem, sera?"

"Yes, Mirri, I have a problem. Since you keep standing in front of me while I'm trying to do something, please loot that body for me."

"I'm sorry, sera. I'm afraid I can't do that."

I searched for her family members, but it seems like they just don't exist yet...

As for dialogues, they are unnatural. If you try to ask someone in real life: "What do you think about our relationship?". It will just cause a stupor. You probably will here something like: "Umm... What exactly are you talking about?"

If I were a writer, I would start from far:
— How are you feeling?
— Not bad actually, I like our journey! [Or normal, or bad, the answer depends on your rapport]
— What do you think about [current quest/location/character] Mournhold? (For example)
— *Tells that she lived here for several years and than asks about your thoughts*
— [option to say we here for the first time and it is good/bad or advanced line] I helped Almalexia to defeat Magistrix Vox and set free souls traped in an artifact hammer.
— So was that you!? I heard this story, but I never would have thought that you were there! [Rapport increases]

While this depth to Companions would've been amazing, at this point, I can only recommend writing your own fanfiction for your interactions.

I'm writing out snippets as I do the Gates of Oblivion quests with Mirri, and it does wonders for feeling like I actually have a real companion, as opposed to a combat pet that talks.

I'll take a note.

Mirri’s quests are delightful and this one would love to meet her family.

Bastion needs a silly quest, maybe a daedric Sanguine quest to loosen him up a bit.
