What do we think the new Companion abilities will be?

WhiteCoatSyndrome · January 2022

For reference, Bastian gives a boost to the power of found Potions and Mirri gives a small chance of finding extra treasure in chests. So what are we going to see with the new pair? What would everyone like to see?

I’m expecting the Khajiit lady to have something related to pickpocketing or assassination - probably the former since Blade of Woe is behind a DLC.

I'd like them to have the ability to deal viable damage! That'd be a fun one :P

Ember is probably enchanting or psijic portal related, increasing your chance to finding of rarer items. Isobel not inventory related, maybe while she is active reduces the damage you take by 5% from non-player sources, but has a much longer rapport grind than others.

Whatever they are, I just hope they don't add more junk to my inventory. I don't need more micromanagement "upgrades".

New abilities will really be same old abilities:

gets in the way of other activities.
prattles nonsense
has a negative reaction towards some of your favourite game activities
unreliably gives rapport for things they claim to like (see: Mirri & Ashlander dailies)
resets mobs/monster fights
dies quickly
stands in stupid
can't store their own gear
generates inventory trash

etc.

The kahjit, a chance of a bonus item while pickpocketing.

The Breton, I am not sure about, maybe a chance to buff food?

The ability to complete a dungeon with a friend and two companions would be nice.

Preach!

Also double plus good on the signature. :-P

I'd be happy if they didn't have any ability like those. It's not super useful anyway.

Everyone guessing for Ember is just stereotyping cause she's Khajiit. I'm sure it'll be based off her profession and personality, which does not appear to be stabbing nor stealing.

They said during the stream that she was going to be more morally flexible.
