Other Player’s Companions Visible in Cities

katanagirl1 · December 2022

In Alinor, Davon’s Watch, and Vivec City I now see Companions alongside players.

I thought they weren’t visible in cities. Why the change? Or when?

I don't think they are suppressed all over town, just near crafting stations according to the settings option:

Sometimes I see them and sometimes I don't, it appears to be inconsistent throughout the city.

It just works ...

My bald daedric monkey, dwarvin theodolite pet and Ember, other player's griffin pet, wolf pet and bear :zany_face:

Edit: I have the "Limit Followers in Towns" setting on. This is in the Leyawiin crafting area in Blackwood.

I wish we could hide other players companions or at least make them appear as wearing an helmet. At the moment companions are terribly immersion breaking.

It's interesting to note that 18-19% of the respondents don't mind this or don't want the ability to either put something over their head as option/leave it as is.

This does seem to be the case now, but didn’t ZOS say when Companions first came out that they would not be visible in cities?

The setting seems to be pointless atm. In Vivic City I still see other players pets and mounts right at the bank. To me that is FAR more offensive than at crafting stations.

They REALLY need to improve on this.
