New Companion Suggestion

AScarlato · January 9

I really like the design on the new Were and Vamp NPCs. Since we do not have any Were of Vamp companions - perhaps expand on these concepts?

Werewolf and Vampire Companions are reportedly still on the table. They may happen eventually!

As far as Werewolf Companions are concerned, I think we should see how the upcoming Werewolf skill line refresh changes the abilities. A Werewolf Companion would no doubt also use the same animations and appearance as player werewolves, so hopefully this balance + visual refresh makes Werewolf in general easier to adapt to Companions. Who knows what the Werewolf skills would do and look like after the rework?

That's great to hear, and your point definitely makes sense. It would make sense for them to fix up those skill lines before adding any such companions.

I just saw the NPCs and thought they looked pretty cool - so good job on their designers. Since they are right there - I figured they could be a good place to start for Companions.

It would be great if the companion as an added bonus could also provide bites for people that go back and forth with cures, given they will now be free.

Agreed, I'm particularly fond of the design for the werewolf NPC. I've been wanting a male high elf as a companion forever.

It would be pretty cool if we could control his transformation so that we can trans at the same time.

Could this even be a hint that these two will be new companions? That would be fantastic; it would save 2026 for me.

I want vampire and werewolf companions, but I also want them to be races we haven't gotten yet.

New werewolf and vampire companions would be quite nice! I’d be curious to see a subclassed companion too. Like an elemental bender (elementalist).

I hope ZOS continues to bring more companions with unique, interesting and personal backstories such as Sharp-as-Night and Zerith-var. It’s also always nice to go to a part of Nirn that isn’t available on the map while you learn more about them!

Edit: Story and voice acting can make all the difference in the world. I say this as someone who went from purely solo to always having Zerith-var by his side.

Tbh I'm surprised ZOS hasn't held a "companion competition" where people can submit their ideas to win and get put in game.
