Which companions do you use?

[nivea]

I love companions I grew into pc gameing on baldur's gate series, I just cant get into a game without any companions it becomes lifeless and boring.. I mean saveing the world is hard work why would you do it by yourself?

First companion I ever had was a cat, it was boring but I felt less alone (that was when oblivion was released). My first "real" companion was Ruined Tail had him since his first release, and he remains my favorite.

Currently though I want somthing less sad... so these are who I use.

 

1. Vilja, if you never had her....then your missing out on the single best mod for oblivion imo.

 

2. Valtierro, he is fun/funny/romanceable and has comments on almost every guild/quest in the whole game I cant play without him. Dont let the CM partners turn you away, he just uses the basic packages from it he is full of personality.

 

3. Stoker, he is decent and his story if fun.... but I dont like the underdark requirement all that much.

 

4. Ramy, she is adorable if I need a cute character around she is the one to go to, not a lot of personality per say... but her animations are great.

 

I plan on trying out Dairanath now as well.

I tried Dairanath but he was just too scary looking for me, and his spear was too big...

I can't stand companions. They get lost and stuck in weird places, they can't jump at all, so some environments that I don't even think about pose a problem, and it's just a general, all-around pain to worry about whether they're behind me.

 

I have Talkie Toaster's Companion Share and Recruit, and so far it seems to not bug things if I "borrow" and NPC for a while, but I don't do it very often. One of my characters, a mage type and level 1, hired all of the Leyawiin fighter's guild to help him investigate a fort ruin. I'm using FCOM, so the bandits were not leveled with me. The fighters might have been, because they all got their asses handed to them.

 

I felt bad about it too.
