what do you think?
Yes!!!!!

✭✭✭✭✭Eh, not my sort of thing - but obviously if they were going to add something like that, there would likely be those who would love it.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Hmm...only if they stayed in your home. The last thing we need to see is sorcs (example) running around with two combat pets, one non-combat pet, merchant/banker and their new companion.

✭✭✭✭✭Her name will be Lydia. She will eat all the sweetrolls, fight all the giants, and stand in all the doorways.
As for recurring companions with ongoing storylines, that's how we got Sai Sahan andDarien. Possibly Lyris soon, if we get Skyrim as some suggest.12 -

Meet Harvey. Oh, right, you can't see him, but he's real, I tell you.

Langdon64✭✭✭✭I think it would be cool if Zos sold people packs in the Crown Store like they do furnishing packs. Like a group of NPC sailors, or island people, or villagers to fill in the homes.5

✭✭Personally I would hate it. My last dungeon run, I was tanking and I had 2 sorc pets, a warden bear, the Maw was spawning stacked on me, Mad Tinkerer and Atro all in my face. I couldn't even see the boss. Factor that in with cosmetic pets and left out merchants/bankers. It was like being in a rave.6 -
Maxx7410✭✭✭✭They wont do dungeons or trials they cant fight anyway, so you wont be able to summon them there. They are nice complex npc maybe some can teach the game mechanics too!!! they can introduce us to lore from the game make exploration more rewarding! a lots of things! then they can be in our house/base1

I'd like to place all my character in my home. So all but the one you're currently using will have a spot and maybe a small animation to be doing something. using a practice dummy, sleeping in a bed, reading a book, drinking, gardening, etc. Sit 4 of 'em round a table playing cards.4 -
Rain_Greyraven✭✭✭✭✭You think you want that but you don't.
It was a cool idea on paper for Bioware's SWTOR, but it proves to be almost impossible to keep updated as the expansions come along.Enemy-of-Coldharbour wrote: »Hmm...only if they stayed in your home.

Now that may work do a small quest chain with the companion then have them hang out in your home, and use them as another way to complete dailies.Edited by Rain_Greyraven on November 7, 2019 2:08AM"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”

So you want to be a game developer? Here is the best way to go about it.1 -
Dusk_Coven✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭SWTOR does this and for game balance it screwed everything up. From the player perspective the additional management (including gearing, etc.., which they ultimately removed and replaced with a number) also shows people didn't like that either.
Their best contribution is to story richness, but embedding them and tracking all permutations of interactions and decisions is a huge undertaking.
Not impossible but not a decision to be taken lightly and it involves a lot more than you think.0 -
Maxx7410✭✭✭✭The game has to give real new content some time all the dlc and chapters are the same. Something new is needed!Edited by Maxx7410 on November 7, 2019 4:45AM0

They kinda did with that psijic skull from Arteum, but an actual NPC would be great.0 -
Morgha_Kul✭✭✭✭✭
✭I'd love to be able to have a companion of sorts, but I would want to be able to CHOOSE for myself, and not necessarily from a tiny stable of possible characters.
For example, my Dunmer Sorceror, in my own bit of headcanon, developed a thing with Sergeant Seyne on Bleak Rock. I'd love to have been able to take her as a companion to be part of his adventures.
I don't think they could restrict them to player housing, since not everyone uses it, and there's something nice about showing off your companions for others to see.
So, YES! I'm definitely on board with having traveling companions. They should be non combat only (though, perhaps could have a function, like handing off junk to be sold, kind of like TOR does), and we should be able to choose them from any NPCs in the game.
That there are SO many mods for games like Skyrim that allow for this is ample evidence of a demand for it.Exploring Tamriel since 1994.1 -

I thank we should have them for overland areas not dungeons,arenas or trials tho and they off set you toons classes per say your an healer gets dps/acceptable damage/no healing, dps gets an healer/ low area heal/medium self heal and tanks get an dps/with acceptable damage/low self heal if you let die 5xs in an day they get an 24hr spun timer placed on them only useable up to lvl 45 of your toons then they get moved to your home so you could have an max of 18 of them doing things around the house after you lvl them up like in crafting ,war, art/ decorating , by having them in your travels while doing each active you want them to learn to do as you lvl yourself up tooEdited by Nordic__Knights on November 7, 2019 10:40AM0 -
Witar✭✭✭✭✭Don't think this will gonna be implemented in the near future. Enjoy the company of scamps, pigs and puppies or go play swtor (for example)
Overland is "balanced" around you with no companion and frankly speaking super easy as it is. Edited by Witar on November 7, 2019 10:23AMIt cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.0 -

For new players an idea like i put about could make learning the game mechanics better on them as i find with overland being so easy now newer players never truly get an understanding of what they are ment to do as vet players i understand that for vet players we'd have no use in them for training but in home would be cool too id like to go to my 100$ house and see it being used even if just by NPC'S0
