Miri keeps sweeping.

TequilaFire

I didn't know companions could do emotes. Seems my Miri has started doing the broom sweeping emote when we are idle.
Can't get her to stop and see nothing about it in the menus.
Is this normal?

TequilaFire

Looks funny with Miri being Dark Elf and my character being Khajiit.
Logging finally made her put her broom away, who knows where.
Would be nice if there was more detailed info on what the companions can do.

This whole thread actually made me giggle. I wonder if they have "hidden" animations for when they are in homes for example, so she starts tiding up.

Perhaps ZOS is working on some interactions to make companions feel a little more alive.

You can't take companions in your home. When you go inside it leaves them outside.

@TequilaFire Are you taking about the actual companion or the houseguest?

lillybit

You'd think they'd give them the same idles [snip]

Active companion running around in Reaper's March after doing a lot of scrying.
So the rapport boost from that may have triggered it if intended.

Does she say anything while sweeping? I find this quite amusing. I am going to see if I can get her to sweep for me today.

why does it matter what mirri or bastian do when you are not in combat?

if mirri wants to sweep, let her. if bastian wants to complain about the temperature of his hands...

what difference does any of it make?

mirri likes cooking...
A LOT...

She can't get near open fire without commenting about roasting scribs... on a "infrequent" setting

BomblePants

Once you level your companion you can take them into your homes… as a house guest.

I had Bastion doing a moonwalk yesterday… he just wouldn’t stop until I re-logged….

SilverBride

The actual companion and the house guest are completely different NPCs with very different behaviors. My Bastian and Mirri houseguests do not do anything but stand there or move around to follow a defined path if I have one set.

Waiting nearby a dolmen in Eastmarch and Mirri started sweeping up the snow

I do know that, it's the only companion I levelled up so I got to hear a lot from her.

I was mostly speculating really. I'd like to have companions with cool new interactions.

You do understand what general forums are for? What difference does it make if they discuss this?

I have never seen anything more accurate on this forums, and it made me laugh more than it should have.

Hey come on, if you just made an acquaintance and they invited you out for a stroll, and they start attacking butterflies and bugs by pulling them apart, that’d be, um, pretty unsettling.

There was a thread here somewhere about Mirri sweeping after being near one of the NPCs who sweep. Can't find the thread offhand....

Hurbster

I should sign her for my Football Manager Road to Glory save with Crewe Alexandra, I could do with a sweeper to keep things solid at the back.

Yes, I remember this as well, there were other examples too in that thread.

If they copy that nearby npc does that is very cool but it should be limited to the general area you are in like in an town or it get a bit weird like sweeping out in the wilderness.

Sylvermynx

Yes, I agree - doing it out of the area would only be logical if it was in a building or something.

This was mentioned in last week's PTS notes, so the fix should eventually make its way to live:

Reaper’s March
Fixed an issue where Aniel in Thormar could cause your Companion to join them in sweeping.

Not clear from that whether it permanently affects them, but at least it's a known issue. Guess I'll stay away from Aniel in Thormar for the time being...

Sweeps month is coming.

Going there as soon this one gets home

TequilaFire

Interesting, this happened while we were killing goblins between the Jodewood dolmen and Thormar so I guess you don't have to be that close to Aniel to pick up the bug.
At least that answers my question whether it was intended or not. Thank you.

If they then turned them into a potion that could cure me of pretty much anything instantly, I'd be pretty impressed.

zaria

Tested this and it trigger at once an companion get near Aniel at Thormar in Reaper Marsh.
Mirril will sweep all the time and run around with the broom who is pretty hilarious.
Porting out of Reaper Marsh will cure it, not sure if internal porting will do the same.

I say we made an nice maintenance crew

Almost an shame to remove it then its so limited in scope.
