If you could have any character in the game as a companion who would you pick? And why?

HalfDragoness · June 9

I love Sharp, but I would pay actual money to have Xukas (bright throat argonian from Murkmire) as a companion. I want to hear is funny takes, and bad metaphors as we traverse Tamriel. However due to how the Murkmire Story works I'd also love Jaxsik-Orn as a companion for her dry wit and incredible bloodlust.
I don't mind that I would have any extra story with them, I just want them to come with me and share their opinions about things.

I would also take Arox.

Er-Jaseen from the "Soul Shriven in Coldharbour" quest.
He helps you escape the Wailing Prison and I really want to learn more about his character. ^^

Almalexia...

Razum-dar for sure. Personality is just fantastic and he's a classic character. Voice lines have always been great. Any of the original characters from the main story would be dope! (eg, Lyris, Cadwell, Sai)

That new Sea Elf Cirwynia from Solstice. She would be perfect as a companion, and tbh her questline was perfect for it too as she's basically free to do whatever she wants now. Not sure what skills shed have, but storm calling is usually the maormer go-to, so definitely that.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stibbons......

AzuraFan · June 9

Naryu. She's cool, and I'm sure her commentary would be entertaining. I'd also adventure with Valaste.

lol rigurt

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · June 9

Eveli Sharp-Arrow

Tazzy · June 9

First I thought of Razum-dar, but if I had the choice between him and Abnur Tharn, I would choose Abnur. I just liked his arrogant, sarcastic manner. He always made me grin.

GloatingSwine · June 9

Choixth.

She already has the single best dialogue in the entire game.

SilverBride · June 9

Count Verandis Ravenwatch, because

.

Syldras · June 9

Revus Demnevanni. I find him entertaining to be around and he shares a lot of interests with my main, so it would just fit.

This. 100% this.

Altyri · June 9

Top 3 choices would be Eveli, Naryu and Razum for sure

spartaxoxo · June 9

Fennorian, Darien, or Jakarn.

Morvan · June 9

Gwendis, because we seriously need a bosmer and a vampire as companions, and she's both.

Erickson9610 · June 9

If it had to be an existing character, I'd choose Narazda from Moon Hunter Keep. Not only would she be our first Werewolf Companion, but her general outlook on lycanthropy — the dual nature of it and how it can be both a blessing and a curse — is something I wish more werewolf characters in this game had. Too often, werewolves in this game are either ruthlessly evil or too afraid of using their lycanthropy; don't get me started on the kind of werewolf who constantly complains about their condition. I don't necessarily want a Werewolf Companion that loves slaughtering people, but I also don't want a Werewolf Companion that hates when you maul people.

Yes, I know she'd be a third Khajiit Companion, but as long as we keep getting new Companions and eventually get Companions of every playable race, I don't really think it matters which race is given to a Companion next. Honestly I'd just be content with seeing Narazda somewhere outside of Moon Hunter Keep — a Houseguest or future quest NPC would work nicely.

Any?
I'm sure no travel would be boring with Uncle Sheo, yes.

I want to add him to my list!

Cerbolt · June 9

I'd like vampire and werewolf companions, I think it'd be interesting. Gwendis or Fennorian for the vampire. Unsure about a werewolf. Maybe Hildegard from the dark brotherhood?

Liukke · June 9

Nobody said Sir Cadwell?
What's wrong with you people!

Ilsabet · June 9

I would enjoy having Arox around providing snarky commentary and encouraging violence. And we already know he fits in my backpack so traveling would be easy.

El_Borracho · June 9

Stuga. Cause the adds to flee when she says how long she has been looking for them

ESO_player123 · June 9

Abnur Tharn, Elam Drals or Cadwell

MasterSpatula · June 9

Well, I would have said Gabrielle Benele..... [snip] ZOS

[edited for profanity bypass]

redlink1979 · June 9

M'aiq, obviously.
Why? Words of wisdom.

LunaFlora · June 9

Cariel, the bosmeri eye of the queen.
because i want a bosmer companion and i like that character in the Aldmeri Dominion zone stories.

i really want her to return in a future story, she hasn't returned yet at all since base game.

TaSheen · June 9

Laugh if you want....

Elam Drals.

kargen27 · June 9

Rigurt the Brash because just think how many predicaments could be solved with diplomacy instead of lopping off heads if his skills were put to good use.

SolidBeast · June 9

Pacrooti 100% but only if they give him his woodworker personality back. I've been shouting this on Twitch streams since companions were announced, but I doubt we're getting a third Khajiit ever.

Other than that, Fennorian seems like he was made to be a companion. Surprised he isn't one, honestly. Before him, I would have said Verandis.
