    Companions were not ready by Blackwood launch and won't be fixed for a long time it looks like. I have put away my companions half leveled and will wait until they will actually have decent quality in terms of customization and actual game play.

    what would you like to change in companions? Please share your thoughts.

    very controversial proposal, the ability to apply polymorph on them. What do you think?

    Companions should have a special Head slot.

    Basically, when viewing YOUR Companion, you can opt to have nothing on their head, a default helmet they have from the start, a helmet from the outfit station, or a Headpiece from your collectibles.

    But when viewing OTHER Player's Companions, their head is always covered up, either by their default Helmet, or whatever that Player chose for them to wear.

    Covering up other Player's Companion's faces would really help in making it so it doesn't look there are 14 Bastians swarming a boss.

    let's say they allow you to do with their appearance after reaching a certain level of relationship. I think it's a worthy reward.

    Here’s the thing, they put time into lip syncing the voices to the companions. So if they want to waste that work they would allow for helmets. Best not to waste it as there will always be those who don’t have helmets in their outfits.

    I don't think applying a polymorph would be good thing.

    Helmets, hairstyles, beards and face markings would be nice though since it would give us a lot more variety. I'd also love a second (or third ;) ) outfit slot for them.

      Agree!
      It is mindnumbing to see groups of Mirris and groups of Bastians everywhere. Would be so much better if you could customize your companions outfits - including hats and helmets. Even better if we could change their hair.

      If I could use my polymorphs on companions, I would buy Blackwood immediately in full price :)

      And of course, I support more customization options for them, including helmets as the most basic option. Skins too.

      The fact that companions have very limited customization, is the reason I didn't buy Blackwood. Sorry, I don't need some pre-defined NPC whom I totally dislike (both aesthetically and personally), following me. What I would love is some Skeletal servant or Zombie silently following me <3

      Please, add ability to use all new idle animations on every mount!

      Please, fix the bugged lights! They ruin visuals of environment and mounts.

      I'm -1 to companion helmets and body markings, personally. Their face is their identifying factor. They're meant to be pre-defined characters with stories and backgrounds, not just dolls. Seeing everyone's companion with a helmet would feel impersonal and anonymous to me. I'd rather have companions that are built with personality and their own uniqueness, like other quest NPCs (which they are, really).

      That being said, I think some of the solutions mentioned here for the helmet thing, like a toggleable setting, could be okay. But not tattoos and skins.

      I know it's not great for immersion or visual appeal to see the same 2 faces all over town lol. Hopefully we get more companions soon, and this will be less of a problem once there are 6-10 of them.

      It's impossible to understand why we still can't put an helmet on companions and shut their horrendous talk.

      They are ruining the fun we could have with the companions.

      While I expect a helmet option could happen I think any appearance customization would be very limited as Zenimax will want us to buy future chapters/DLC with new companions or outright buy companions from the cash shop.

      Flaunting his unique hairstyle in everyone's faces -- whether they have companions or not they have to see it around every corner :p

      agree, I don’t understand at all why to do such a face with a companion which we will constantly observe, what is the purpose? annoy us? Bastian also does not shine.

      Yes, it would seem that this is an obvious thing, but we are limited for no apparent reason. Just put a helmet on a companion, what's going on, why don't they do the obvious?
