I was working on my new House (which will become a RP Tavern for my guild) and I was thinking would it not be cool if Jakarn was the Bartender...that got me thinking that Houseguest would be a lot more immersive and useful if you could assign roles to them...I'm sure this has been discussed before, but regardless it would be a cool feature....Jarkarn as a Bartender...Prince Irnskar as a Guard and have it so you can assign different roles to different guests.

I wonder how plausible it would be...

Thoughts?

I am not against the idea of house guest roles, I am just not understanding the purpose.
What would say a guard "do" that would be different than what the houseguest is doing already (for example)? You can't commit crimes in houses (at least not that I know of), so would it be just dialogue options?

A bartended house guest is an interesting concept, but I always thought our current barmaid should be able to act like a minor merchant, with a selection of "white" level drinks to buy. Is that what you mean as a bartender?

I don't know that ZOS is willing to pay for extra lines of dialogue for them, though that would incentivize people who haven't bought them yet to want them more, but using roles to set animations would be awesome. The animations already exist, and assigning a role would change the idle animations of the houseguests. I would love to have my houseguests be able to sit, have a beer or a meal, read a book, do crafting animations at my crafting tables, etc.

It would be nice if we could set them to use emotes, as well as walking around.

If we could give the Guests emotes, most the Role Activities would be covered. Even without those, we could use pathing to make the Guest move around the bar back area.
