Can Bosmer get permanent animal companions? : V

Can Bosmer get permanent animal companions? Or is it just the old deal from past games where you can cast a charm spell on them once a day and they fight for you for 30 seconds?

Don't know but im hoping for the ability to do the "wild hunt" once a day,
instead of the poor mans version of it charm 1 animal lol.

Anyone can, so long as the animal is a dog.

I imagine that animal companions of other kinds will be modded in very quickly.

I hate dogs. Why developers always assume people like dogs as companions?!?

Give me a monkey, a feral cat, a stupid donkey but not a *$%!& dog! :brokencomputer:

Well because the dogs are the only companions man have for thousand of years

To be honest I am quite happy to have a dog companion for a change. It is strange, but only a few games offer a dog, most of them give bears, wolves, lizards, but not a simple dog, to role play a hunter, not some fantasy beast master.

Actaully that is not true, in Egypt the Pharohs had Cheetahs as pets, others did too but they had more then anyone else as PETS. I am just saying not trying to start something

Hehe yeah you are right about cheetas.

The Wild Hunt isn't really a temporary thing, if I recall correctly.
"Wild Hunt: Turn into a bloodthirsty monster. Lasts forever."

what's the deal with animal companions.. what can they do for you? can you use them to carry stuff for you?

» Mon May 14, 2012 12:58 am

Charm animal would be handy while hunting. "Hold still Mr. Elk" *stab*

I don't like how it was just a low level spell, hopefully it's better this time around.

This generation Fable (II & III), Dragon Age (origins & 2) and Fallout (3 & NV) all had a dog as animal companion, so I wouldnt say this is a first time.

For Elder Scrolls this is perhaps the first time, but then again they never had animal companions anyway.

I hope it is useful at higher levels, as well as all of the racial abilities.

A companion parrot would be nice to have on my shoulder :woot:

Hm! I suppose that will do! Thanks Gregasaurus!

Damn, I just got a look at a dog companion : http://www.mlwgames.com/img/assets/skyrim_aug/skyrimdarkelffemale.jpg

Anybody else instantly reminded of Cupcake Dog?

It should honestly be until the creature dies. I can't imagine even the strongest of animals lasting very long on your adventures.

Animal Companions are just meat shields really I mean they can't really do the stuff that humanoids can, like you can't send an animal to steal stuff or anything like that, kinda boring if you ask me with so many other ones to choose from. Not saying I wont have one I'm just saying its not a big deal if its just a dog.

Oh, I'm sure the human companions will be way more interesting for the most part. I just want to make a Bosmer who gets along with animals. Probably just going to get the stupid once a day spell where you shoot them with sparkly lasers and they leave you alone for 30 seconds. Oh well.
