What Companion do you want to see next?

They shouldn't add more to the system, until they fix it's targeting. Fix things, then milk.

None. Before they add new companions, they should improve the existing ones. The combat AI, how you can interact with them, etc.

A daedric companion would be pretty neat. Having a totally unique morality and rapport system. They could be a summoner and have a perk that makes scamps and banekin neutral to your character.

Orc, Nord, or Bosmer, we really need any and all.

Preferably one that is an archetype of their race and not completely opposed to everything that has ever been presented about it in Lore. Outliers are fine and dandy, but when we only get one (if that) of each race as a Companion I'd sure rather have one that didn't try so desperately hard to break the mold, just for the sake of difference.

Don't give me a peacenik Orc or a vegan Bosmer.

This is the most important for me--getting the remaining three races--with the next companions we get.

I'm still so disappointed that the Altmer we get hates the mages and the Mages Guild... Like... Why design the Altmer that way...

Non human companions and the ability to make them wear helmets would be wonderful.
Can you imagine a minotaur tank?
And seeing companion following others or seeing multiple of the same togheter is terribly immersion breaking. Make them wear helmets!

An orc, Nord, and/or woodelf companion please.

BetweenMidgets · March 3

A dog or some sort of pet. No talking, just happy to be with us and we can pet them or feed them.

logarifmik · March 3

None. I would rather have new stories with already existing ones.

amig186 · March 3

One that doesn't try so hard to subvert expectations and just acts like a typical member of their race. Bosmer, Ork or Nord since we haven't had one of those yet.

I don't primarily see companions as (more or less effective) aids in combat, but rather as story content. Accordingly, I'm happy about every new companion and sincerely hope we get more this year. I also wish that our existing companions would be expanded with new quests and new dialogue.

whitecrow · March 3

I'd rather see the existing companions be developed more. Maybe even new quests.

SkaiFaith · March 3

I already have what I need from companions but looking at some of the responses here: Nord Werewolf (like Hildegard) and Bosmer Vampire (like Gwendis) I think would be nice!

(I'd really like to be able to customize more the appearance of all companions btw)

None, thank you very much.

I have eight companions. Five of them are fully outfitted with weapons, armor and jewelry. Two of the five I use mostly.

Three of my alts I hate and despise and never use them and never upgrade their common level items. If I could delete them, I would.

If I could get a Companion that would actually come to my home, yes, I mean my IRL home, and vacuum and dust weekly, then I would accept that Companion.

Thank you very much.

Some fun ideas in here but this is what I want the most. I love the dog banker but I think it would be so fun to have a dog companion with a quest line (there are pets in other quests so it is not that ridiculous of an idea.). The dog could periodically whine and bark and yip, or stand and point at nodes, and do a few things like this that would make them feel more like a pet than the pets, and most importantly, they could join the battle with you which neither the banker nor the non combat pets could do!

Also, though, I would prefer to see improvements to the companion system before getting new companions. Most important: Improve their AI so they don't stand in ground dots. Fix that issue that only is avoided with the ice staff. Make the older companions as powerful as the newer ones. Make it so the companions can carry some spare companion gear. Change the trait system because the cost to buy a good piece of gear with the right trait is truly ridiculous. Add new stories for the companions (imo, preferably non romantic ones because I don't want all of my companions trying to get with me!).
