Companions?

In line with the myriad of ideas for the NEXT companion...I nominate STUGA.
I want to hear her say " Do you know how long I've been waiting to be your companion?1?" Lol
Or Sun-in-Shadows with that high pitched voice.
Maybe Lyranth as a sidekick?
List goes on and on...
Yes...this is sarcasm. My own opinion is I don't think any of the known NPC's that is around should be turned into a companion.
I say create a new character with a new backstory for the next NPC if ZOS decides to do so.

Considering that the quests where we get to know they are a major draw for Roleplayers, and that having them as houseguests is attractive to some housing fans...well I doubt you'll get all those features removed simply because you don't care about them.
For me, I'm enjoying Companions solely for the roleplaying. About the only reason for me to run a bunch of Mages Guild Dailies is wanting to do Bastian's quests.
So it's not wise for ZOS to remove reasons for people to do things with their Companions.5 -

Yes I know people like their companions, but there are many who view them as a complete waste of time. So whilst threads like this are great for those that love them it also needs to acknowledge that some of us detest them and wish they had never been introduced into the game.
Yes I've maxed Mirri, no need to see her again.
Bastion I'm levelling and then no need to see him again.
I don't want to have to do this again for another stupid companion that I'll never use but will feel obligated to do so in order to get the achievements that will be associated with them. If there are no achievements I'll be happy.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm all for new companions (original characters, not existing NPCs) but would prefer it if their release coincided with the addition of new features, they involve too much grind just to do what Bastian and Miri can do, but with only different looks and slightly different skills (since skills are homogenized and in the context of companions and their utility, will fulfill very comparable playstyles).2 -
Oreyn_Bearclaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭More concerned about them making the two companions we have actually useful, rather than adding more useless companions.
I like the companion system in theory, but it has a long way to go. They should really spend some time and energy to make them decent support players in actual combat. They also need to look at games like Dragon Age. Allow us to assign priorities and triggering events/threshold for certain skills and actions on the part of our companion.
One thing that would go a long way and I dont think would be hard would be to allow us to assign them roles. If I assign a companion as a healer or DPS, maybe disable hard aggro so they dont get murdered by a world boss. That sort of thing.
I have been farming WBs lately for my sticker book. I simply solo them on my mageblade. If I build Miri as a DPS, she dies in 90% of fights. She grabs aggro on the boss, the boss walks right out of my destro ult, murders my companion, then walks back to me once the ult wears off. LOL. I dont think I should need to slot a taunt when playing solo, but companions make me want to. If I build as a healer, well, she lives most of the time, but I barely notice she is there. Healers need more support options (buffs/debuffs). Admittedly, I have not taken a run at building Bastion as a proper tank. I have heard that is actually doable.3
