SolarCat02✭✭✭✭✭Either the AI will be as useless as the average quest NPC companion and just as well implemented as the Breton Hero costume, or the selling of followers will essentially be paying real money for an advantage.
Either is very very bad in my opinion.Why be normal when you can be better?

✭✭✭✭✭I would pay for a companion that runs around the world with me saying funny stuff. Like Elam Drals. I would love Elam to follow me around.
BUT... No fighting. Therefore, voted "nope".Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.3 -

Yes. This would be awesome.
I would love Cadwell's commentary while questing, *that* would be awesome. I would wear his pot all the time if it made him talk to me.

✭✭✭✭✭If they were any good it would be pay to win. If they're not any good then it's a waste of money.
Either way it's a terrible idea.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Wow✭✭✭✭✭If they are full fledged figher companion that would be p2win
Well then how about Follower NPC that can also fight (at least it looks like they are fighting) but they deal 0 damage. Add a new tab in Crown Store Daedric, Domestic, Exotic, below that add "Followers" and they replace pet slot or something

Serjustin19✭✭✭✭✭Sadly no. Since companions don't work in PvP. I won't waste my crowns. Since I don't hardly do any PvE no offense. Hence why I stop buying pets. Even the ones I like. Pets are not available in PvP. Unless your a Sorc... But no companions even if I did tiny bit PvE.Formerly Serjustin19, Save for Forum Of Course.... Fiery_Darkness (PC NA) currently.0 -

elantaura✭✭✭✭I wouldn't pay for a fighting companion, but I would pay for someone to stand on plates to open doors etc.so I could do content without someone - the fighting bit, I would do.
I feel bad asking all the time due to alts etc.PS4 EU 1200+ cp - I enjoy RP, Housing, PVE and PVP1 -

✭A pocket healer npc would be some what useful for grinding but for this concept to be balanced it would have to scale off of your stats and be restricted from anything with a leader board so no trials.0 -

This, pretty much.
If there would be something in crown store that would give you a combat advantage, it would be pay to win. Because that would mean faster and easier gear grind and better leaderboard positions.
And questing is easy enough without companions imo.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason
