So... What would be your Dream Companion in Skyrim?

[Da Orky Man]

My perfect companion?
I'd say a female, romancable dark elf, primarily uses a bow, with a personality much like Kasumi from ME2.
Yeah, I'm that specific.

 

[imnot]

Why, those giants or those mammoths of course!

How bout a giant mamooth, like 200ft?
Sure it would be unbalaced as fuck but hey giant mamooth.

I want a octomamooth.

 

[Hugums]

Honestly, I want a mammoth. you see the ones roaming the plains with the giants in the gameplay demos and i really just want to toss one a steak and put a collar on its neck and start calling it Wolly.

 

[Owlly]

Cthulhu, if he felt particualaly nice that day, i would sit in his hand and watch the world burn and crumble in the darkness of insanity that or a little cat with a top hat, that i could skin to look like my cat ^^ that would be cool too

This guy

 

[Mikeyfell]

possibly some sort of a weighted cube with a heart painted on it.....
With a questionable level of sentience.....

Oh, here's an idea how about one that won't die in 20 seconds and fuck up all my atte3mpts at a stealthy entrance.

Bethesda is bad at making me like the NPC's in the same way Bioware or Valve do.
They don't offer any gameplay help besides the a fore mentioned 20 seconds and they never have a personality that makes me want to keep them around. I've played Oblivion for over 1000 hours and never once used a partner (When it wasn't scripted)

You know Fawkes for Fallout 3?, ya him.

 

[Rekrul]

A little child who sees himself as my squire, so he carries my shit, repairs my shit (just a couple of percent a day or something, he doesn't have to be an expert ) and as he's my squire he's learning the skills I am, so if I'm stealthy he'll be equally as stealthy, if I'm not he's not. He would primarily mean he's a big backpack that's as stealthy as me

 

[Brutal Peanut]

My own pet/friend dragon. Doesn't have to be a big one maybe just be young one that can't fly properly or something which is the reason why it follows you.

Ah ninja'd! But really, I expected this to be an immediate response from someone. lol

OP: Since Dragon was taken, I suppose I'd also go for a young wooly Mammoth.
....or a Phoenix. Some creature of epic awesoness,....or Dogmeat. =]p

 

[Brutal Peanut]

This guy

Ugh, I...I hated him. I remember I killed him once. It was an accident., o_- That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[foolish snails]

I would like something akin to Mordecai's bloodwing in Borderlands. Something that can help you out in a pinch and is awesome, but doesn't get in your way. I prefer not to have people following me around wherever I go.

 

[dancinginfernal]

I want to have a little imp that rides on my shoulder.

I'll name him Bubba.

No captcha, my keyboard does not have umlauts.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Since I'm a rogue/thief I could use an apprentice so I can have him/her do the easy work. Such as just pick pocketing people to get me funds and stuff of some value. Also come in handy when raiding a supply room and theres to much to carry.

 

[Fayathon]

The only kind of companion I want is one that's a competent thief, or rouge. I hate when I'm trying to sneak through an area with a companion and I get spotted because the idiot decided to go Leroy into a group of enemies. That said I think I'm gonna do the same thing I did in Morrowind, Oblivion, and FO3, and that's run solo, I hate companions. And yes, even when Behemoth hunting in FO3 I refused to have a companion help me, I can take a den of enemies out more efficiently by myself than with help.

On the other hand, if it allows for some sort of co-op, I will definitely be helping/being helped by some of my friends. A two player co-op thing (second player would need to get slightly nerfed stats otherwise it would become unfair though) would be insanely fun to do IMO.

 

[C95J]

My own pet/friend dragon. Doesn't have to be a big one maybe just be young one that can't fly properly or something which is the reason why it follows you.

That would be amazing! Just a little dragon, about the same size as you, maybe a little smaller, which follows you around everywhere! I would love that!

Ugh, I...I hated him. I remember I killed him once. It was an accident., o_- That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

In one of my playthroughs he was eaten by a pack of trolls, while I was doing a Fighter's Guild quest. The weird thing is, he came back.
Then I told him to wait in the middle of nowhere and left him.

 

[Seanfall]

Well according to rumors they are putting in Love interests, or at least romanceable's. And friends. I honestly can't think of one I'd want though as I don't know what I'll be playing as.

 

[Vonnis]

None. I prefer exploring by myself, especially as I tend to go for sneaky characters in this kind of game. The last thing I need when sitting in the shadows poisoning arrows to take someone down without anyone else noticing is some overly enthusiastic sidekick alerting every single guard in the world.

 

[RuralGamer]

Whatever creature I summon usually works fine.



Conjuration, ftw.

I guess my ideal companion would be...J'skar from Bruma.

Yes and yes; conjuration produces very useful companions and J'skar would be useful, especially if he could go invisible on command and stay that way until told otherwise; would make for some great stealth combat.

OT: I'd like either the Im-Leet or Rolf the Uber

I can't say I really feel the need for a companion honestly; my issue in Bethesda games is that by and large, my companions have no understanding of the words 'stealth, 'passive' or 'cover my six'; far too often they're charging some hundred meters up a hill to attack a nest of deathclaws which had no idea they were there (that actually happened to me in New Vegas whilst I was attempting to avoid it; curse you ED-E!); if I'm going to have companions, I'd prefer them to stick close, only attack what I attack and preferably warn me they see or hear an enemy I don't.
