If you could choose any npc as your companion, who would it be?

derkaiserliche

This would be my choice. What about you guys?



(Titus Valerius from the craglorn story)

ixthUA

Eveli as a humanoid companion. A chicken as a fierce beast companion.

GimpyPorcupine

Certainly not Valaste.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

Xukas, I adore that lizardman. Sadly he has other duties.

wilykcat

Caska. This senche raht would make a good body guard that would protect me from and fight the elite monsters.

SickleCider

Knight of Marrow 🐦

Tigeracer

Razum dar

amig186

That Dunmer girl who keeps getting rejected from Shad Astula.

PrimeSeptim

Maybe Lady Twilight ...



Plenty of NPCs with nice personalities in the Thieve's Guild DLC, like Quen or Velsa maybe.

They should sell companions in the Crown Store, even if they're generic ones, like a Pact/Dominion guard or Dremora even. Variety at least, instead of seeing all the same companions everywhere. At this point I think companions are just as important to your RP or what you use to express yourself or your character as mounts, outfits, etc, are.

Silaf

Cadwell or a minotaur tank.

JARTHEGREY

Molag Bal (just saying...).

Twig_Garlicshine

Basil Fawlty or Alex DeLarge

Rachaelphoto

Ashur.

Marillea

Za'ji.

Tenthirty2

M'aiq
He wouldn't even have to fight, just give commentary would be enough

Hadamnargo
He also could just be assigned to commentary duty, his voice makes me smile every time I do that quest
But I don't think he'd want to leave his home, no one would be there to take care of Gordon or Horse

Tandor

I actually wouldn't use an existing NPC from elsewhere in the game as a companion even if it was available, it would spoil that NPC's existing role for me, and I prefer my characters to develop their own relationship with one of the existing companions.

Grizzbeorn

Thoreki

Kisakee

Stuga and Madame "Hear, Hear!" to bring horror to all of Tamriel!

ArchangelIsraphel

When it comes to NPC's- Fennorian or Skordo The Knife.

I adore Fennorian's personality and scholarly inclinations, while Skordo just makes me laugh and seems like a good buddy to have around. I enjoy him every time I see him. Really hope that if we ever do get an Orc companion, that its a male with a similar personality. (Female orc would give me "stuga is following you" vibes >>;)

But ultimately, I'd prefer to design my own companions appearances and personalities. There's many characters I've created who are friends or loved ones of my main characters, who would be at their side, that I wish I could have in addition to the current cast. It would be interesting to see what others would make as well if we ever had a "create your own companion" system. (Likely never going to happen, but I can dream.)

Sauce_B055

Guards would be OP as companions. Permanently invincible, infinitely scaling damage, CC and oneshot mechanics...

I_killed_Vivec

Naryu, for the bubble-bath relaxation after a hard days adventuring together

Alinhbo_Tyaka

It would have to be Little Leaf followed by Eveli Sharp-Arrow.

Tesman85

1. Meryline Barthel: She's just so sweet and with that song-magic thing she has going she could have some pretty unique skills.
2. Either one of Valentyn or Marcelle Dantaine: They could have a highly amusing roller-coaster questline where the spouses doublecross each other and the player like there's no tomorrow!
3. Fennorian. A nice vampire for a companion could be interesting (and I like House Ravenwatch so they could have cameos).
4. Skordo, of course.
5. Alinon the Alchemist. He's a cool guy in that irascible manner of his and could have an interesting skill set.

Many more, also, but these came first to mind.

RaddlemanNumber7

Naryu, but only so that I can take her to the top of the Crystal Tower and watch her die at the hands of the monster there.

Rebirthment

Darien Gautier.

Kesstryl

Fennorian would be my first choice! I loved having him be the healer when questing with him in the Greymoor storyline, and I'd make him my permanent healer. I also love his personality.

Revus Demnevanni would be my second. He would make a great sidekick, and I'd take him to every Dwemer ruin and Kwama mine in all of Tamriel so he could continue his Tonal studies and egg collecting.

There are many others, but those two are at the top.

merpins

Razum'Dar or Sereyne.

El_Borracho

Norgred Hardhelm, aka The Naked Nord.

rpa

NPC guard?

Mirrrr

Raz

Syldras

Give them a reasonable amount of (and more location-specific) dialogue first.

Then: Revus and Fennorian.
