Dear Zos,

From the bottom of my wood elf heart can you confirm if there are plans in the works to toggle interactions with our companions on or off? Don't get me wrong I like the addition of companions it's quite enjoyable to hear Mirri all the time and her assistance in combat is awesome BUT I'm getting weary of talking to her when trying try to jump or interacting with her when I was trying to engage an NPC. It would be such a nice option to be able to toggle that dreaded X off on PS4. Thank you.

    Agreed. I'm really just tired of trying to loot bodies and talking to Bastian instead or trying to use a door, but having a chat with Mirri.

    Once I have my companions set up, the number of times I actually want to talk to them can be counted on one hand over a period of a month. The number of times I want to use E to do other things in that time frame numbers in the thousands, maybe more.

    Can we maybe move the companion menu to a selectable hotkey or main game bar slot at the top like crown store, inventory, etc?

    Agree. I use the No Interact addon on PC and it makes a big difference. This feature should be available without having to use addons.

    Where companion interaction bothers me the most is wayshrines. Every time I try to click on a wayshrine and end up talking to a companion instead I die just a little bit more inside.

    I support, it's way over due. Time us Console players get some QOL love too. I would also add in an option for a toggle for fishing nodes as well, as their range can be rather large and can also effect when trying to jump.

    In fact I have suggested both before myself, see my Sig for info.....

    Tell me about it! The problem is that companions follow us too close. There are times Bastian or Mirri almost hug me. Keep your distance, will you?

    Also, another broken feature is the Setting about how often they talk. Having it on Normal or on Infrequent doesn't make any difference at all. They keep blabbering, no matter what you do.

    I'd rather have interactions with owned items near vendors toggled off, tbqh. That mistake can be a lot more annoying than quitting dialogue with a companion.

    I believe this is already there under options somewhere even on console. I’m not playing right now so I can’t look it up.

    I just don’t turn if off on my main because sometimes I want to interact with those things.
