Bastian don't like when I make... TEA???

Scaletho

Every time I'm doing daily writs and need to make TEA, Bastian got negative rapport! Why a Companion don't like when I make a simple tea??

It's the Muthsera's Remorse tea. What horrible ingredient does this tea have to make Bastian dislike it?

merpins

Bastian obviously prefers coffee.

It's not the tea - it's the Firsthold Fruit and Cheese Plate - he's not fond of cheese....

SammyKhajit

Even if they’re not intended for him, he still gets offended

I think we know what he likes.
"Let's find a tavern where we can spend that."

Bastian is allergic to cheese or lactose intolerant or something and gets offended when you craft anything with cheese in it. Muthsera's Remorse is paired with Firsthold Fruit and Cheese Plate every third day for max-level provisioning writs. The rapport decline that you think is because of the tea is probably a delayed reaction to making the cheese plate before the tea.

Tea for two?

Picture you upon my knee,
Just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you
And you for me alone.
Nobody near us
To see us or hear us,
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations.
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear;
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake,
For me to take
For all the boys to see.
We will raise a family,
A boy for you, a girl for me.
Oh, can't you see
How happy we would be?

LOL

Negative Rapport because of cheese seems a bad pun from ZOS...

Yep. One wonders how Sheo thinks of Bastian.

It's probs a cheese food you made. As I am a cheesehead, I purposefully make the Firsthold cheese food in front of him. Bastian, you himbo, you WILL look at the cheese.

If Sammy has the time and energy, he will build a cheese shop in Glenumbra, maybe at the Rosy Lions Inn.

Bastian will be the shop keeper and Arox will be there to ensure he doesn’t run away

Why on earth did they make these companions such fussy little children who literally cannot cope with you doing something that may not suit them personally, like cooking with cheese or catching a torchbug?

I mean really, this sort of stuff is the kind of response an emotionally immature person would have. Are the companions adults or no?

SammyKhajit

@xXSilverDragonXx this one agrees with you on the cooking but if a new acquaintance (neighbour, colleague, new friend or whatever) suddenly pulls wings off butterflies or kill bugs with hands and those bugs weren’t aggravating them etc., Sammy will be a bit alarmed as well.

It would be nice if some of these minor annoyances that turn into major irritations for us can be reworked in an update for the Blackwood companions. Some of these things really are irritating. There's always that one torchbug in the way of a quest interact-able or loot, and it's frustrating to have to put companions away to do basic things.

Question in return:
Why on earth are some ESO players such fussy little children who literally cannot cope with some harmless little flavour point of an ingame companion?

Cook a cheese meal (usually done once in 3 days, tops), or catch a butterfly/torchbug by accident. Rapport goes down by 1. In words: ONE. Click at the next bookshelf you come across, any bookshelf, and the rapport is back to what it was. Bookshelves are everywhere, so you don't even have to go out of your way.

So there is no need to put a companion away "to do basic things". And even if there was - having them on quickslot makes that a thing of a few seconds.

Well I like fishing and need bait, I like crafting and get dailies and I like opening thieves troves when I find them, and putting a system in game that makes doing those things more of a hassle, it just dumb. It is the exact opposite of a QOL thing actually, especially since companions are pretty much nothing more than a useless barbie or ken doll that follow you around saying the same bizarre things repeatedly. I mean sure, if companions actually helped in someway, like allowed you to do something you couldn't already do on your own, then sure, give them a downside. But they don't.

I for one would very much like to kill Onkel Sheo, I mean we did defeat Molag Bal?

Was it cheese tea?

He gets upset when you make a cheddar chai or a brie brew.

Tea is for elves, Bastian rejects it like a true Breton.

I thought Bastian was an Imperial?

Is that before or after Sammy has slain a hundred mudcrabs and those little spiders outside the stables at Davons Watch ?

Jaimeh

But think of it this way: if he is indeed lactose intolerant but then has cheese, then you might have to de-summon him anyway

While I wouldn't go this far, I do like that the companions don't like every little thing we do and have their own personality. And the rapport lost for making cheese or grabbing a torchbug is extremely small. As you say, it's literally reading one book. It's just a piece of flavor to give them more personality.

Everyone has pet peeves. I get annoyed by loud eating. I might be annoyed enough to say something even, but it wouldn't be enough to change my opinion of you. And companion rapport works like a pet peeve. It's too small of a rapport loss to actually have any real impact on their opinion of you, but it will be annoying enough for them to say something. They get over it really fast.

Bastian is kind of annoying, I can’t wait for the new companions. My pickpocket thief can have a companion finally
