Next year's Companions - speculation, and what would you like to see?

Kng_Ayumayuma✭✭✭For next year I want Schwarzenegger's Terminator and Andre the Giant.
And I would like the four current companions to be selectable male or female. Then let us run them through the screens we use to make our characters. Customize as we like.Edited by Kng_Ayumayuma on October 23, 2022 2:37PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I want a handsome male, preferably an Elf, and I want him to be a bit flirty. If the only males we get are Argonian, Orc or Khajiit I am done.
And don't say we have Bastian because he is not what I consider handsome or desirable.Edited by SilverBride on October 23, 2022 4:14PMPCNA1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Seeing what devs are adding pretty much every chapter, my guess is that we will probably get:...Another Cat...... That will look like Raz......Raz's nephew's cousin's brother...1 -

We already have a khajiit, and we are likely to get a companion of every race with time.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!3 -

✭✭Argonian or Arox.
Argonian: a Shadowscale who will be deadly, ruthless and please, please ZOS make them dodge red circles.
Arox, because the daedrat is itching to go out to Tamriel and shred some ankles!!! Even if Arox doesn’t do anything apart from cheering Sammy on during a fight, it will be worth it (eg “A magnificent kill, my mortal master! You have a way of spraying blood everywhere!”).1 -

Ember just ran right up to the red circle under a dragon on me the other day. I know she is not the brightest, but she has a bow! That means "ranged"!
And she gets so mad if I get caught (twice to me on the same day at the same time) in a forbidden area. I was working on her quest and went into one of the many areas I didn't realize was such. -20 in a flash! And this from someone who got nailed multiple times under a dragon!PC

jtm1018✭✭✭✭✭Can we get other companions, like say none of the player races?
Maybe a daedra, a werewolf, A werebat?
Maybe Azura or Nocturnal will get bored and join you as a companion in your journey?
Dont want any of the divines as companiong, I'm thinking they will be boring as hell.

This one agrees with the ridiculousness. This one has Mirri, Bastie and Ember on ranged weapons and skills but they are like moths to the flame when it comes to the red circle. Why, ZOS, WHY??
Isobel, if you fitted her out in heavy armour (bolster health or reduce damage) and a few heals and shield skills, will be able to last a WB fight. But really it doesn’t make sense why the other three are woefully incapable of dodging.Edited by SammyKhajit on October 24, 2022 6:58AM1 -

✭✭✭✭An already leveled one? That is what I want. Or maybe a little whirlwind that follows me and pulls up all the flowers, ore, wood, water that I ride past at breakneck speed.
What do we not have? An orc, a high elf, a redguard, a bosmer, and an argonian. We don't have a warden or a necromancer.
Next year, a redguard man might become available as a companion. That would be okay with me. Could he be a Warden with his own bear follower?
I would like a male orc companion, at some point, who has an extremely orc personality.
A male argonian would be nice as long as he is one of those dark brotherhood types. Would he fit the necromancer class?Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)
Might be joking in comments.

Einar_Hrafnarsson✭✭✭✭✭Well i would say female High elf Healer or Sorcerer. High elf is the most played/popular race as stated in ZoS own data so im surprised they did not try to cash into that yet.0 -
Drammanoth✭✭✭✭✭A Companion who gets rep from doing illegal things. An Argonian Necromancer (a Veeshkaleel) who was a Worm Cultis for some time, but found it boring.1

Ember does. She just gets too annoyed if you happen to get caught, far more than the positive benefit.PC

The orc warden asks the redguard necromancer if he can give a hand in a fight.
The necromancer asks in turn his or someone else's?
Option 2:
They both order drinks. The wardens asks for his stirred, and leaves with one stirred and chilled. The necromancer asks for his chilled, and leaves with one chilled and stirred.

I think it would be better to have the option to flirt with your companions rather than having a companion who is flirty by default. Lot of players find Jakarn's flirtatiousness uncomfortble rather than sexy for example. There should always be the option to tell them you're not into it.6 -

We will keep getting different varieties. It is likely somewhat easy to make a new variant (except for the individual quests), it pushes people to play to get gear for them, and may push Crown sales to buy tickets to buy the guild level ups for them.PC

I would agree with that. Even though I am a male playing mostly female characters, except for my namesake, I would not want any of them flirting with me by default. I have no interest in making that kind of relationship in game.
A good waifu might change my views.... (Just kidding, I think. Too bad this isn't an anime/oriental game where that would fit better.)PC

Because people like variety? It's nice having several options so people can have a companion with a personality, race, gender etc that works best for them/their character.[Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!4 -

Handsome according to who? Beauty is subjective and very varied. They could make a flirty elven companion they and some others consider handsome but you don't. Same as you could make a character you find handsome but others don't.
Also, bosmer and orcs count as elven races, yet I doubt they are considered here.NotaDaedraWorshipper wrote: »

I think it has something to do with the phases in dragon fights. I've had Bastian go "sheet your sword, the battle is done" in the middle of a dragon fight.

Which is exactly why we need more male choices than just Bastian. A lot of us asked for a companion similar to Verandis Ravenwatch.PCNA2
