Companions?

  • Other than your mate/friend or an NPC being by your side during the journey [and the Wood Elf/Bosmer ability to befriend nature]. Do you guys think during the course of the game that we could befriend an animal ally [you know like Dogmeat in Fallout 3]? Seeing as during the interviews developers say they did take a few things from that game when constructing this one. Like a Wolf or Wild Dog or something like that [hell maybe even a Bear]. Am I the only one who things that would be a pretty cool experience?

    A dog would be a wonderful addition, especially if they can give a little advance warning to alert me to enemies.Ā  It will probably be easy to get so lost in the scenery while out exploring, at least for me, so a dog would be tremendous.Ā  And to ease the ...  more

    I wouldn't mind a dog companion, but only if it cannot die. That huge dog (irish wolfhound?) would be awesome running next to me when horse riding... also a bear would be nice, but I suppose that a bear could not keep up with the horse.Ā

    Ā For the type of character i am playing a companion would only be a burden unless they were plot specific then my character would use them for all they were worth and cast them a side as soon as they expended their usefulness. If they were lucky and he wa...  more

    I am just hoping to get mysel...  more

    Following the announcement of racial stats and powers, I'm burning with curiosity as to what the Bretons can conjure as a familiar. I'm holding out a distant hope that they'll be similar to Baldur's Gate 2, giving some element of choice and a bit of dialo...  more

    @Matt - in the Elder Scrolls lore the Dwemer Centurion is somehow locked into Dwemer regions/ cities.Ā  They shut down if they stray too far from them.Ā  But, I'm sure someone could make a mod for that!
