"Companions" : V

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 3:19 am

Just interested to hear what others will do while adventuring and most importantly what kind of character you would like to bring along!

Id like to have a dog or a wolf

Well, i'll be a mage with maby a dog, or ill just summon stuff.

EDIT: I never really liked companions, allways more annoying then anything else.

Me and my dog companion will go murder dragons together. It will be such a hoot.

I'd like to have a mage for a wife, if it actually affects anything beyond a small bit of dialogue. Since my first charrie is going to be a thief, I think my best bet would be a heavy hitting warrior companion.

Depends on what character I'm playing as.

I must say I've been playing FNV lately, and I really enjoy it's companion system.

I hope Skyrim has something similar...
My companion will be a stealthy/archer type, so that he can back my warrior up and unlock complicated things for him:P

If I do get a companion it'll be a warrior. If I do get a spouse she'll be a warrior as well. Though I might choose neither, because I already have Atronochs, and Zombies to protect my frail body.

Yeah, I'd prefer an animal companion, at least until I get married, and first playthrough I'm gonna try and marry a noridc warrior chick I mean, how hot would it be to see your wife charge into the fray with a resounding battle cry and a giant ass sword and lop someone's head off in one shot. Not THAT'S a woman lol

Companions can be tricky sometimes. I remember in Oblivion some bug happened and this guy who couldn't die became a companion of mine and followed me around everywhere. As it turned out, every time I stole something he reported me and when I killed him ("this character is knocked unconscious...") he reported me too.

Edit: It was impossible to have him stop following me.

First character won't have a companion she works alone. Second Nord warrior will have spouse mage companion probably a healer. Some months later maybe i'll do a playthrough with another character probably a dog companion.

i want a dog as a companion and a mage for a spouse
my charecter: reguarding dogs if they can be mans best friend they can be mers best friend too

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:56 am

I chose warrior for the companion because i want someone to 'tank' while i sit back and use my magic. But as for my spouse, I don't want her to ever see combat and hopefully I can just leave her at home at all times for RP reasons, so I chose none.

I usually like to have an animal companion like a dog or a wolf. This time I would like a human AND an animal companion at my side.
If this is not possible in vanilla Skyrim, I'm sure someone will fix it later with a mod. This is for my second play-through. For my first,
I'll go with either. Not sure yet which yet.

I will be a warrior and have a (wife) Archer/stealth companion eventually. I will play with a dog companion on a subsequent game.

» Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:27 pm

I'd love a dog, as I love dogs.

Problem is if it died I'd have to reload my latest save.

Also not interested in marriage at all.

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 7:12 am

None, I'm a lone wolf.

Oh definitely this^.

Might hire a merc or something, no wife o' mine will be getting herself killed...

I've never been to keen on the idea of traveling companions in first-person games, as they are generally a nightmare to look after. However, since Fallout 3's companions weren't as bad as I originally expected, I'm hoping the improvements made are carried over into Skyrim. If they are, and I'm not playing a stealth character, I'll probably select a warrior type character as a companion (they make better bodyguards).

i wouldn't want my spouse fighting with me. What if they die?

Inb4 insensitive comments.

Married to a warrior chick. With all those scars she's gonna have from the chainmail bikini not stopping any weapons? With the rough, tanned masculine skin of a leather muppet from living a hard life? Boring shoptalk about how she's killed such as such a critter?

No thanks. That's about as un-sixy as it gets. May as well marry a pit gladiator named Harold and get it over with

If my character gets married, it will be to a woman that has a neat tidy home, good cooking skills, and ample hips for child-birth. That's just good sense

"By the way... do you happen to know what the fine is here in Skyrim for necrophilia? Just asking." ... Wink, wink, wink.

Nothin' like a dog will bring me a great friendly atmosphere. Eventually some kind of sixy magic babe... :disguise:
