I love ESO housing system. However I still feel missing something. A warm of NPC. It will be great if Zos let us do some reputation system, gain some NPC loyalty through quest line, dungeon and trial, then we can have some of them serve inside our house as loyalty friend.

Try to immage if we have a retire warrior guarding our treasure. a smuggler cooking inside our kitchen, a mage to take care our library. All of them have a background story, and some interesting dialog to explore, not just souless NPC we can buy from crowstore.

Then the most importain thing is that, Zos can make more money by letting us buy outfit for our servant, and encourage player to purchase big house, or encourage player to buy dlc to have loyalty from NPC who they like. It will super profitable and it will extreamly fun

What do you guy think about my opinion, if it's helpful plz help me send some word to dev team

    Just make NPC bartenders, cooks, cleaners, whatever available in the crown shop to go into your collections

    I don't need some complex reputation earning system.

    IMHO

    Reputation could be fun for some special NPC's, however the basics I think I agree they should just sell them. ZOS gets more new things to sell, players get those NPC's at last.

    As someone who played it for ten years, complex systems also were circumvented every time we got a chance and often were terrible and annoying. :joy:

    Once again. Let us place our characters, dress them up, bind some emotions in loop to them and there you go. You have advanced system allowing for thousands of customisation options.

    Simply have options that include a combination of reputation grind and crown store purchase. Game play earned NPCs of course would be essentially free and crown store NPC versions for those that do not wish to grind it out. They would be house only NPCs so essentially cosmetic and fun for those that want them. Potential for more revenue streams and more game play.

    This can add more to the housing system.
    Housing needs a major update for a long time now, this can be a part of it.

    I wouldn't mind buying them through the crown store, but I am seriously unwilling to mess with rep systems any more. Cringy-grindy stuff like that annoys me no end.

    Yeah me too, and be able to swap gear directly with them. Would save a heap of time on inventory management.

    More placeable NPCs, like the current Assistants but decorative (like the various ones in SWtOR), would be nice.

    Making it some sort of complex system (even if just trying to path them to walk around) is just asking for trouble, though.

    Was just thinking earlier, that with all the new changes ZOS added to ESO over the years, i'm surprised there isn't some kind of companion or steward system yet. And was wondering if that was something we might be able to look forward to in another chapter. Also some new "cattle" to place in homes for the vampires out there ;)

    I would much prefer if we could place our alts into houses. Even better if we could access their inventory by interacting with them, but I don't see that last part as feasible since it would mean the game would have preload a bunch of alts Everytime someone entered their home which would be a lot of stress on the server. But I would think simply having a shell of you character's appearances could be doable.

    Being able to swap characters by interacting with them would be cool too, and also could be doable since it again wouldn't require any preloading beyond their appearance. You would of course have a long loading screen during the swap since it would have to fully log out your current character and then log into the new one, but that would be fine with me.

    I have zero interest in housing and prefer attention spent elsewhere, but I am not against adding systems for housing people now and then.

    Additionally, I'd like a version of this system where we can design our own NPC's using the character creator and motifs so that we can include characters in our homes that we invent ourselves, but do not necessarily wish to play.

    We already earn rep with some small factions like Ashlanders, so I don’t see why not.

    I just want some liveliness in our homes, so yes to whatever idea.

    I like this idea, they could take it a bit further even. Earn enough loyalty with certain NPC's and make them available for marriage sorta like in Skyrim.

    OR, something completely different, I haven't seen this in a game before, but why not offer the players the option to place your OWN CHARACTERS in your home as "NPC's" when you're not playing them? Give them some of the functionality of normal NPC's and even be able to interact with them in your house. Might be kinda cool. :smile:

    Other. I just want the option of putting our alts in our houses. Let us outfit (or costume) our alts so we can show them off to people the same way people (yes, myself included) like to show off our houses. We worked hard to unlock those styles and motifs and dyes, etc. Let us show them off without having to suffer through a million age-long load screens.

    they don't even have to do anything beyond stand there posed like Tythis or Nuzhimeh. but let us have 'em.
    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""
