Annoying things companions say and your snappy come-back...

(In the midst of battle...)

Bastion: "Shake it off! You can do it!"

Me: "Shut up! You can do it!"

My favourite was still standing tanking a dragon and as about 6 people standing behind the tank (don't stand behind the tank....) got turned into popsicles I hear "That was a bit of a warm up"

“What do you think you’ll make with that?”

“Off. And I already did.”

SammyKhajit

Isobel: “What new tales will we tell?”

Sammy: “Um, some sneaking, a bit of petty thieving and a couple of Dark Brotherhood contracts?”

(Isobel rapport drops)

SilverBride

Mirri: "I'm still here. Thanks for asking."

Me: "No you aren't." *Fires Mirri and never uses her again*

What do you think you are going to make with that?


A gag to shut you up. If you don't stop talking, you are going to become muzzled Bastion in the iron mask.

Bastian is so annoying with his holier-than-thou attitude, I swear he's like Walmart Captain America. And for all the fortune cookie wisdom he preaches he can be so judgemental too, like he basically called me a degenerate for liking cheese.

When I know I'll need him I turn the game in french and paste /script SetCVar("language.2","en" ) in chat to get the UI in english. Bastian in french is somehow less grating and I think it's thanks to the acting: he sounds like he has some sort of self awareness about the dumbassery he's spewing and that makes him more sympathetic.

I harvest a node and the following exchange happens:
Isobel: Nice, what did you find?
Me: The meaning of life!

When did he do that? I can't remember a line like that. Only that he dislikes cheese and that it's because of his lactose intolerance.

Bastion after I fall off a cliff and die " I WILL AVENGE YOU!!"

Me: ".......by destroying gravity?....."

Crimsonwolf666

Mirri when I am caught stealing/pickpocketing: "Hey warn me when your gonna be a fetching swit!"

Me crouching down in obvious steal mode "............"

AcadianPaladin

Mirri: Would it kill them to just run away? No, I don't suppose it would. . . .

Me: Umm, Mirri, that was a strangler we just killed.

Carcamongus

I ran nCR with 11 people, so I pulled Bastian from my bag. After all, a little more damage wouldn't hurt. During the two seconds he stayed alive, that is. The group killed Z'Jabba and Bastian... started to mourn. I can't remember exactly what he said, but they were the same lines he uses when the player dies.

Group: Wohoo, we made it!
Bastian is visibly upset and overwhelmed by sorrow.
Group: ????

Minimal is still too much.

There needs to be an 'OFF' option.

Disabling speech from companions completely? Well, it's everyone's personal choice, I'm fine with having options.

I'm just wondering what the use of companions is, then? Most content so so easy that you don't really need them, and if you solo group dungeons with them, they don't really talk that much while fighting. I actually think their chitchat is one of the main reasons they exist - roleplay, immersion, adding to the atmosphere, etc...

Not every player finds most content easy.

It's never literally everyone, but I have the impression that the vast majority is able to solo regular overland content. If you find a companion's help handy, it's fine, of course. That's not the point, though. I'm quite sure the developers didn't design companions to be anonymous, characterless puppets that fight for you without ever saying a word. Otherwise they wouldn't have spent so much time and effort on creating backstories, indivdual likes and dislikes, companions quests, voice lines, and even hiring well-known voice actors for them. To me it's obvious that companions are meant as a means of storytelling, and for roleplaying and immersion reasons, and not only as a simple fighting aid.

Mirri "What are you going to make with that" after I pluck some random alchemy plant

Me "A small vial of poison, as a gift for Bastian"

If I harvest wood I tell him "your coffin" some ore and he hears "your headstone" and similar responses for other things harvested.

Ember: “You always bring me to such nice places.”

Sammy commences to fish.

What’s new in this week’s Luxury Vendor:

- Iron mask, only for Imperial male, 10,000g

- Bespoke coffin, lined with cheese 🧀 50,000g

- Plain headstone, pre-carved with the texts “Here Lies Bastian Hallix, May He Rest in the Paradise Great Place for Harvesting.” 100,000g

(This is satire, not real news, just in case people have questions)

I will never understand these sort of reactions to npcs in games.

Accidentally attacking Mudcrabs.... Mudcrabs are attacking me... I have to fight back.... Ember: "Feels good to get the blood pumping, right?"

Poor little guys.

BloodyStigmata

Bastion: "The Divines sure were in a good mood when they made this place!"

Me, standing in the middle of the Deadlands: "I'm pretty sure there this where Divines go to die, Bastion."

ArchMikem

Ember: "Hey you! Everything alright?"

Me: *swoons a little and nods like a goofy kid*

I love it when companions are awed by a striking locale and say things like "I've read about this place" or "Traveling with you isn't a tour, it's a tale!"....

And this is the "majestic" sight they're refering to:

Hey. That campsite holds a story of a thousand words.
