Houseguests as NPC companions?

Medieval3D

Hi, I just wonder what are the plans for the new companions feature in future

It would be so cool to have Houseguests (those NPC who stand at player homes) as NPC wandering companions who travel with you.

Houseguests list:

- Biro-dar
- Solitude Guard Jorn
- Acolyte Deras Arelas
- Lyranth
- Javinus Tirnendo
- Mirri Elendis
- Prince Irnskar
- Historian Phedre
- Sister Gellena
- Hroltar the Boaster
- Keldora
- Makes-Many-Soups

Any updates about companions topic will be appreciated, thanks!

I think you can add to that list Bastian Hallix as well as Sereyne, since they seem to be missing.
Although Mirri and Bastian are already companions who can become houseguests (and not the reverse, which seems to be what you are asking for), so perhaps instead they should not be included xD

I can't remember most of the houseguests were in quests. Yeah, I know Lyranth, Prince Irnskar and... No one else. And I completed 95% of quests in a whole game!

Wow

Would be nice if Houseguests didnt exist till they invented Companions. Probably Houseguests will be marketed as companion's skins

Sereyne was part of a quest in Elsweyr. As to some other houseguests, they definitely were not part of quests. I don't see that as a bad thing, it gives the player a chance to give them their own back story as to why they are in your house.

I see these things as two separate entities - houseguests don't have to be companions, necessarily. I am sure the Vestige accumulates a lot of connections and makes friends/allies, so having both houseguests (who might need a place to stay, enjoy your company, etc.) and companions (who are willing to fight by your side) makes sense to me.
