    Companions have to be unique so you don't run into them in your travels/questing.

    It could work if you complete his questline. You would not run into him. That could be a requirement in order to unlock him as a companion.

    Darien would be better as a target dummy.

    They could make these characters companions if they want to. Once you complete all quests related to these characters. So as soon as you finish the last quest, they become a companion.

    could be fun sure, but zos does not want to make existing characters into Companions

    I want Hermaeus Mora as a companion. Romance included, of course.

    Given the possible story direction they went in, he should be. As well as any other future character they may go in a similar direction with.

    If I have a romance interest in any RPG they never leave my party.

    As much as I want him as a companion, I get that it could limit future story decisions. But maybe we could at least have him as a houseguest? Ideally with an extra line or 2 of dialogue for players who have romanced him.

    Or how about - just hear me out - a naive Lamia companion with an inquisitive spirit who wants to explore life outside of their clutch/tribe but is clueless about other cultures? Pretty sure that would have a lot of story potential, lol.

    I have nothing against Darian, but I would find it strange to see him multiple times in Tamriel at various hot spots. It already irritates me with the usual companions, but I think it would bother me even more if it`s one of the main characters from Tamriel.
    This one has no regrets *Raz

    That only works so long as they dont want to use him as a story character moving forward.

    Besides. I prefer to have unique companions.

    I couldn't care more about Darien, or Fennorian, as I've come to realize it's quite popular for some (odd) reason, but, since the subject is about NPCs that shouldn't become a Companion becoming one, I'd very much prefer Naryu Virian

    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

    I just ran into him a couple of times, all quests completed. There are Dariens Gautier all over the place it seems. :p

    Fun Fact: Darien actually will follow you around town and even to the siege camp if you walk around during the first half of crossing the Wall. He'll also comment on his surroundings.

    We already have enough situations where the same character is duplicated in an interior, such as Abnur Tharns in mages guilds, or Lyris accompanying you on a prologue to where she's waiting to start a different one.

    I have seen multiple Dariens in the Sunport palace, and I don't think they were all dressed alike. Tharns often are not. So even when you dress your companion uniquely, there is still a problem.

    Are there any known locations for multiple Jakarns, or Naryus?
