Ember is a funny and beautiful khajiit

I’m currently leveling up Isobel. But for my next companion, I’m torn between Ember and Sharp. Ember because I heard she’s the best DPS and Sharp because of his roasts and snarky attitude lmao.

my friend bob

Sharp for sure.

He doesn't complain at me for basically anything (Only some stuff I rarely do). He's decent at any role (Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, Tank, Healer). His questline is decent. His comments can be amusing.

Zertith is second place though. With similar reasons, only he complains more often due to his dislike of theft/bounty removal/fencing. I'm also not as big a fan of his questline as Sharp's.

Normally I would say Ember for her excellent sorcerer skills with both damage and damage shields with healing. Plus, she's very perky and funny.

Zerith is also wonderful, with a personality like your favorite uncle. His skills are nicely rounded out with an AOE Fear which is great in public dungeons.

But, I had to vote for Azandar who has a quirky, scholarly, sesquipedalian (google that word one time and you will remember it for the rest of your life) sense of humor and uses more Arcanist-type skills than your average human Arcanist who tends to use the "green beam" and nothing else.

He loves it when you get any epic or legendary item in your inventory and says so about three times! He also laughs and laughs if you are in a public dungeon, for example, and start killing scads of enemies. He just loves it!

Also, he loves tea and I love tea!

However, I keep four out of eight companions on my quick wheel. Isobel, Ember, Azandar and Zerith. The other four are, errr, let's say they're on sabbatical.



(You should also google "callipygian pulchritude." Again, you will remember it for the rest of your life!)

Bastian gets my vote because he can tank up to Tho’at second arc for me. (I can’t get much further on my own.). He also has some entertaining comments that make me laugh even though I have heard them often enough.

I have not had a chance to spend much time with Zerith-var but he could be my favorite personality-wise. I have only finished the quest to unlock him as a companion so far.

Isobel gives approval points for each daedric adversary that is slain, and i like doing the dark anchors/dolmens as a casual pastime. Our interests are aligned.

Mirri. She's he only one that's not always upset with me.

Independent of their prowess in combat, I find the most important quality of companions is their character.
Sharp and Isobel are the most consistent with a specific type of fantasy character. Even if one does not like that specific character.
This consistency is what makes them amenable acquaintances.

Ember is the best example for inconsistencies. She is living on the streets with this supposedly tightly knit group of really good friends, but when she "looses" them, she goes to a remote island to study magic and wait for someone to turn up and push her into searching for them.

Sharp. He simply feels like an elder scrolls character, that's all. Not as childish as some other, which is a bonus.

Is Sharp's voice actor same as Garrus Vakarian?

Sharp, cool as ice

It was originally Bastian for a very long time. But then Zerith came along and dethroned him.

He's got an awesome voice, I love his story, his dialogue, his design. He ticks that box of a big, knightly companion that I wanted from Bastian, and for ESO standards anyway, his story is decently complex.

Can't really get past the thing on Ember's head sadly. Also can't really get past the fact that Azandar have a flesh atronach ( sorry but it's gross ).

Isobel. The unlock quest is a lot of running around, though. She makes a good tank, and that is really what I want out of the companions. Someone to provide a distraction.

That said, I don't usually unlock Isobel. The easiest to unlock are Bastian, Mirri, and Ember. Then Isobel. The Sharp and Azandar ones are so long that I did Azandar (found him first) and never bothered with Sharp. I turned Azandar into a healer thinking it might be nice for new characters, then realized I was never going to unlock him again.

I have no idea about the Pay Companions, as I don't have either of them.

None. No better than companions in Skyrim.
