2 to choose from at launch, only 1 is available to use per player at a time.
We can give them our equipment, change their abilities and they have story quests.7 -

✭✭✭Excuse me, I have not seen the preview event because I had to get up early...
Combat companions? Permanent ones? 2 per player?
So does that mean trials with 12 players, 24 combat companions and 8 pets now?And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon1 -

✭✭✭✭✭As a tank that does a lot of dungeon finder groups, this worries me. There are already too many sorcs and wardens that don't control their pets, now there will be 3 more running around. Depending on group make up, there could be 10+ "allies" getting in the way in the dungeon now.3 -

The only content that Brian said companions would be excluded from was PvP and solo arenas, iirc. Only one companion per player at a time, though.Excuse me, I have not seen the preview event because I had to get up early...

I'm really hoping to see some ridiculous 12 companion all-pet-sorc trials on PTS this weekend.

Only 1 at a time. Only for questing/travelling.@Syldras | PC | EU

Rootmender_Inky✭✭✭I really wish they add an Argonian companion, how awesome would that be?
I know my Argonian guild would love it
What do you guys think? Will they add an Argonian Shaman? Maybe a Rootmender or even a Shadowscale!

Could be interesting for quite a few roleplayers, I guess.
I'm sure that sooner or later they will sell new companions in the crown store.

✭✭100% chance of Companions in the Crown store. That is the funding model for the game right here.

kapachia✭✭✭They should really limited this to overland stuff.
Dungeons and trials are already clogged up with pets and non-combat pets already.3 -

✭Everyone knows that this system is only a testing field for something bigger. They desperately want to cover that part of their fanbase which likes old-fashioned Bioware games.
In order to do that you need to give us not someone new, but people we know already and actually want to travel with them or even romance them. Just saying.1 -

When house guests were introduced, I already wondered if it's a test for (travel) companions (generally: if people would be willing to buy a npc in the store). I see a direction there, definitively. But yes, I'm also wondering why almost no recurrent npcs were used yet (except for Sereyne). People would be much more interested then, I assume.@Syldras | PC | EU

Exactly. The only problem is people usually won't stop on only wanting the main mascot characters for a companionship. And even to give them these characters devs need to stop toying with their fates and it's bad for the writing possibilities.
So new guys are something in between, and I wonder how they'll perform. Won't stop us from wanting to smooch the others tho.1 -

Klad✭✭✭✭I know I have been hard on the devs, and to a lesser extent to the mods ( I might have that backwards...but anyway) this proves to me once and for all you do listen.
So @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , @ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert .
I humbly apologize for for my attitude to you or any ZoS employee. I will never doubt you again.
Thank you for the hard work, and trying so hard to meet expectations.

I hope that you can also modify the look/race. If there are only two options, oh dear, one wants Argonians, Kajit, Orcs ... I don't want any of these. Mer or no companion at all.

You don't want an Argonian or Khajiit dressed in rags to follow you around - like back in TES3?
No, honestly, they won't be customizable, as they will have their own backstories and special quests, but more follower npcs will be coming. So sooner or later there will be a bigger variety to choose from.@Syldras | PC | EU

✭✭✭My husband, who didn’t see the stream, asked me if unlocking a companion meant he or she was unlocked for just one character or for all alts, too. I’m guessing, since we were told they are acquired via a quest and that we can level them up, that this is character-based, not account-based? Meaning you could end up potentially with 18 different versions of each companion, each at a different level/place in their backstory? If so, that will be a bit weird...
Does anyone know if they are account based, like the merchant, banker, and thief from the thieves guild quest, or character-based?1 -

✭I just want the cat banker or merchant to fight alongside with me when I have them active.
I would like to see those little furballs attacking a npc mob lol.3
