Rapport unfair to members of Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood

I'm pretty sure Mirri doesn't care if you pick a pocket or open a lockbox as long as no one gets hurt. I know she doesn't care about Thieves troves.

She doesn't care if you kill others either. She cares when you take their soul from them.

There will almost certainly be more companions, and at least one won't care about such things. These are just the intial ones most likely.

I am sure that there will be more Dark Side companions before too long, because ZOS won’t be able to stop themselves.

But honestly, anything that gives people pause from leaving Tamriel littered with the stacked corpses of a significant proportion of each town is a win for me.

I'm also not interested in Bastian or Mirri. I haven't even recruited either of them just to test the system out. I am eagerly awaiting a shadowscale companion.

You won't get that flexibility because they'll eventually sell either a vampire or something else familiar...I mean 'companion'.
I won't get into that realm of the game either way as it's not my cup of tea. Make sure to research your purchases before buying guys, it is very important. You know what the schematics for content release here are.

'shop smart, shop s-mart!

I completed the Thieves guild quests with Mirri. Bring her to Heist, i made 10 so far, and stole all around, and she never complained. I can not though do the brotherhood at all with mirri nor Bastian for sur

There is an easy way to deal with negative rapport you know - just unsummon companion when you feel like committing blade of woe killing spree and summon back when you're done. You can put the companions into your quick slots so it's not big of a hasssle.

Not even an issue. I do Dark Brotherhood and thieving a lot and am not hindered one bit.

I do put them away now if I want to pick up a thieves trove or open a lockbox. But I'd rather have a companion I have something "In common" with.

Mirri is perfectly fine with stealing, but she gives negative rapport for using the Blade of Woe or going to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. So using her with Thieves Guild quests should be fine... but sadly, neither Companion likes the DB.

In fact, Mirri makes a joke, "You'll take anything that isn't tied down" when sometimes looting Thieves Troves. First time I heard it I had to laugh.

Or "Finder's keeper's!"

I don't like rapport, but I could accept it more if it weren't prejudiced against players who explore the dark side of Tamriel.

We need companions who are like minded with all play styles, not just the goody two shoes we have now. For every "good" companion there should be a "dark" companion. One who would gain rapport for a good heist, or opening lockboxes successfully, or completing the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood dailies.

But the way it is now, a good portion of the player population is being hindered in developing a relationship with their companions because they engage in some of the darker aspects of the game.

Yep.

It was a big mistake not to introduce an evil (or at least a morally indifferent) companion at the beginning. The companion system would have appealed to a broader audience if they had.

Maybe, but speaking personally, companions don't appeal to me period regardless of whatever personality they have

If I want to be a hero I will choose Bastian. If I want to be a thief or assassin I would choose a companion who is also a thief or assassin.

A companion who is a fledgling thief or assassin, who is in need of a mentor from the applicable guild, obtained after completing some appropriate companion character related quest.

We will definitely get more companions, one who's fine with Dark Brotherhood. But it's not bad or weird that Bastian and Mirri disapprove with you for sending people to the Void in the name of one of Tamriel's most infamous murder cults.

No... but... perhaps they should be more grateful that they are our companion and not our enemy.

Elam Drals as a companion and I'd buy next dlc right away. Not happening though, dunmer nightblade is already implemented, oh well.

He is a sorc iirc. You get him to follow you for a bur and if you use blade of woe he will chuckle sometimes lol

I just want a thrall companion that just sits there and looks pretty.

Your forum class is necromancer?

Considering my main is both a thief and assassin, this DOES get a little problematic for me. I can't use the blade of woe with Mirri, but I can't steal with Bastion around. It is annoying that thieves troves ALSO set off bastion but it's just good that it's one or the other and not both hating both. With how they're punishing players for being vampires, lately, i'm surprised they don't hate me for THAT, as well.

Hurbster · December 2021

Mirri just doesn't like it if you get caught stealing. And to be fair if you take her anywhere near the DB sanctum she makes her dislike very clear. And I have her set up as a healer.

Bastion, yeah. I just find him annoying to be honest.
