What kind of companion would you want?

✭He might even be more likeable than Neramo and Raynor, I guess. I mean, I'm also amused by those two, but their haughtiness could be a bit off-putting for some.
We do get much less of him - unfortunately - but he's surprisingly not arrogant for a Telvanni. The Drake of Blades might make an interesting companion. I like the idea of new people though, with personalities and stories of their own to explore. Maybe they can link them to existing NPCs and reference those connections in future content.PC NA, CP2500+. Character creation is the true endgame.0 -

@NotaDaedraWorshipper Yeah, right? I mean, people can have different opinions, but I personally don't see the companion system as solely cosmetic decoration ("busty lady"/"muscle guy"/"npc of player's whatever preference" running after the player character) or just a simple fighting aid. I see it as an immersion thing and as a additional method to include stories and lore (how about a native in a new region who optionally tells you about the places' history and about cultural and politic backgrounds?). So the thing I care about most would be interesting dialogue.
I wrote it before, I would find travelling with, for example, Divayth Fyr, extremely interesting. Generally, some kind of scholarly character would fit my main quite well. As we won't get the "big ones" like Fyr or Galerion, I think I'd be quite happy with Raynor Vanos or Neramo. Or, the less serious and a bit more humoristic solution, Revus Demnevanni
Although I'm afraid most people can't even remember him.
I remember Revus! He's such a disaster-filled sweetroll.
Raynor would be a sweetroll too, if he only spoke a tiny little bit faster.1 -

@Nairinhe , you'd make him all nervous with that
Honestly, ZOS, please consider him!Raynor would be a sweetroll too, if he only spoke a tiny little bit faster.
Is it that bad in the English version? In the German one, his voice actor changed since Greymoor, which is also a bit... strange. He's still one of my favorites, though.@Syldras | PC | EU

The impression I got they aren't going to be either, which pleases me. I haven't watched the stream where the companions was brought up but I've heard people talk about that you will gain some kind of reputation with them by doing things they like and lower it by doing things they don't. Which sounds promising to me and make them more about story with character ( ).
I don't expect we will get known npcs and more likely to get ones that are completely new, but maybe some minor ones will appear.
Although I'm not sure how I feel about finding out that our first companions are going to be an imperial and a dunmer with names that sound like they were bretons.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!0 -

It's mostly OK, but when you talk to him at Morkul Stronghold he's reeeally not in a hurry to express his thoughts.
Oh, well, it's not that bad. So he's a sweetroll too.
Looks like I've learned something about my taste in mer today...1 -

Yes, it's going to be mostly about story and social aspects. There's also 2 articles about that so far, although you might already know them:

I still think it might be nicknames (for Bastianus and Marise or something) or placeholder names. Houseguest Phedre's name had also been a bit different initially (if I'm not totally wrong, it had been "Phebe" before?). I agree with you though, these names are completely awful for a Dunmer and an Imperial. I'm really wondering why they chose those, as all other npcs have "normal" names.Nervous sweetrolls are the sweetest
Ah, a connaisseuse, I seeIt's mostly OK, but when you talk to him at Morkul Stronghold he's reeeally not in a hurry to express his thoughts.
Isn't he drunk there?

✭✭✭I am personally on board with the idea of animal companions and would have loved that way more than what's on the table right now. I often think that some of my tougher pets look silly when they completely ignore my foes. If I have a bear cub following me he totally should be able to tank. 0 -
Eirinin✭✭✭✭I just hope the companions have:
A. Good voice acting
B. More than three basic lines they repeat incessantly, like some Skyrim companions.
As a bonus, it'd be great to have an Altmer companion at some point.Edited by Eirinin on February 3, 2021 4:49AM1 -

✭Ok here is my theory.
I would like them to give combat ability to our pets. It doesn't have to be all at once so they can take it slowly and do it right. But just occasionally switching them from noncombat pet - combat pet.
I really just want my nixad to fight with me.0 -

Josira✭✭✭✭Dwemer Automaton. or Clockwork City Automaton. One that has little to no personality,doesnt say anything and I can outfit with sets like mad artificer,Sentinal and other Dwemer sets and then call my character an Artificer.
Would rather keep romance out of the companion system altogether. But can see why others would want it.
What use would I have for a companion,or romance system when,when im solo I play solely PvP and when im not,Im playing with my boyfriend?With Characters we made together?
That...sounds so much more pretentious then I mean it to come across as. Sorry.
Still kinda bummed out that this was the feature we got. There has got to be something for pvp coming up in the chapter..I hope. at least..something that adds variety..hopefully..probably not.
And extra salty about the lack of any artificer class being announced,considering magicka necro has been a complete mess since release of that class"BlooD FReNZy TicKS aLL thE BoXes of WhaT iT mEanS tO bE a VaMpiRe"0
