If more quests provided a companion, who would you choose as your new NPC companion?

After Veya Releth messes up with the Morag Tong and Naryu can't keep her as an apprentice, I would like to be Veya's new mentor and literally level her up a bit smh. Especially after me betraying both the alliances and always being on the run just like her, we would make a great team

✭Dringoth. I would like someone witty. And it would be a great way to satisfy that wanderlust of his.
Andarri. I don't know why but I've always liked her. So sad she vanishes at the end of the quest line. I want to dress her in nice clothes and help her get back on her feet.
Alyxe. I bet she has some interesting recipes to share.
These are just the ones I can think of right now.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Popular NPC like Raz get reused a lot.
Raz is used all during the AD story, he is used in start of Summerset, a quest in Elsweyr and a delve in Gold coast.
Stiborn and the Dunmer couple is in most zones
Grinding just make you go in circles.

You're actually kinda right about if she were your companion things may have turned out different. Part of the reason things out the way that they do is becauseShe was completely alone on a ship, and overcome with grief and crippling loneliness, and she didn't forsee a good future since she was being told to forget everything.Edited by spartaxoxo on November 21, 2021 5:21AM0 -

Oh wow, learn something new everyday.I never spared her life so I never actually ran into this. Well, that's an interesting way to make player choice impact the game. Sure the result is the same, she dies, but how it does and under what circumstances are do to the player.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK1 -

[snip] not only that but as far as I understand I have to kill her as well after the Summerset incident... However it is also quite fascinating to see that lore-wise Veya actually would make a much more interesting companion than anticipated, thanks to the context you have provided. Basically you either kill her in Vvardenfell or spare her and let her go to Summerset to become a villain out of loneliness and depression, or you take her in and basically save her life by becoming best buddies. Spread the word to the developers @ZOS_GinaBruno let's make this happen!

https://media.giphy.com/media/cT3wMhLGQWdKU/giphy.gifCurrent Champion Points- PvP: The Lover for penetration when playing a sorc or temp.
- PvE Healing/Damage: The Thief for decent crit rate.
- PvE Tanking: The Lady to get close to resistance cap.

https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif- Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
- Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
