Recently, we got a hands-on preview of the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood, the next chapter coming to ESO this June. While the expansion promises a story that delves into the Gates of Oblivion, one of the stand out features that will have any Elder Scrolls fan excited, is the addition of Companions. Companions will be new allies in your adventures ahead, pretty much going anywhere with you with the exception of PVP and solo arenas. You can take your new companion to help fight the Daedric forces, putting them in any role you see fit, whether that be tank, healer or DPS.
Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood is releasing just around the corner, and we were excited to get a closer look at one of the game-changing features, which is probably one of the biggest additions to the gameplay of ESO in quite some time. Companions are coming, two of them in fact, that can accompany you all across Tamriel. While they may seem like any ordinary NPC that occasionally joins you while questing, one of the major differences is that Companions will be at your beck and call. They will also have their own gear and even hold a rapport with you. You might also be wondering can a Companion die in battle? The answer is yes, yes they can, so you better watch their health or you will indeed have to revive them.
Before I go any further, I should mention that this is an early preview of the Companion system, which is why we can’t show our actual in-game footage, and not all features have been implemented yet, so things could still be tweaked and changed when the expansion launches in June. This does, however, give a good peek into how Companions will appear in the full game, so either way it’s exciting to share more of what’s coming with Blackwood.
First things first, let’s talk about how do you gain a Companion. Zenimax announced during their livestream covering Blackwood content recently, that there will be two Companions available at the launch of Blackwood, Bastion and Mirri, and both can be recruited by completing their quests, but you can only summon one at a time. As for how many Companions will be add to ESO in the future, this is currently unknown, however as they are added to the game they should be recruitable in a similar fashion.
You will go through a whole quest which will introduce you to your Companion, even fight alongside them before gaining them for your Collection. Yes companions are under Collections, but get their own Allies sub-category, so you can easily see which ones are available and set them as active from this menu. I for one am glad Companions get their own story, and aren’t just dumped on you without rhyme or reason. They are actually a part of your adventure and you at least get to know them a little bit before you probably get them killed doing something stupid and have to revive them.
