In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the Companions system allows players to recruit and adventure with unique NPC allies. While ESO doesn't feature the iconic Companions faction from Skyrim (the warrior guild of Whiterun), it does offer AI-controlled companions introduced in the Blackwood chapter (2021) and expanded in later updates. ESO Companions Overview Recruitable Companions: - Bastian Hallix (Imperial Mage) Found in Blackwood (requires the Blackwood chapter or ESO Plus). - Mirri Elendis (Dark Elf Rogue) Found in Blackwood (same requirements). - Ember (Khajiit Sorcerer) Added in High Isle (2022). - Isobel Veloise (Bretón Knight) Added in High Isle. - Sharp-as-Night (Argonian Warden) Added in Necrom (2023). - Azandar Al-Cybiades (Redguard Scholar/Healer) Added in Necrom. How to Unlock Them: - Complete their introductory quests in their respective zones (Blackwood, High Isle, or Necrom). - Once recruited, they can be summoned like pets via the Companions menu. Companion Features: - Customizable Skills: Each has unique skill lines (e.g., Bastian focuses on healing, Mirri on stealth). - Gear & Leveling: They level up alongside you and can be equipped with special companion gear. - Personality & Rapport: Their approval (Rapport) changes based on your actions (e.g., stealing lowers Mirris rapport, while killing undead raises Bastians). - Combat Roles: They can tank, heal, or deal damage depending on their skills and gear. Limitations: - Only one companion can be active at a time. - They cannot be used in PvP (Cyrodiil, Imperial City, Battlegrounds) or some group content (trials). Differences from Skyrims Companions ESOs companions are individual allies, not part of a faction. They have deeper interaction systems (rapport, quests, and voice lines). No werewolf or faction quests like in Skyrim. How to Get the Most Out of Companions Max Rapport: Gain bonuses by doing activities they like (e.g., reading books for Bastian). Gear Them Well: Equip them with companion gear (found in overland or bought from traders). Use Them for Solo Content: Great for solo dungeons, world bosses, and questing.

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
