ESO companions in 2024

oh boy time for my yearly contributions to uesp (adding dialogue to the uesp pages of the new companions)

it is kind of funny when companions are released and you can tell which of the two are more popular. when sharp and azandar were released with necrom, sharp had A LOOOOT of his page filled out already, whereas i probably ended up adding like a majority of azandar's lines myself. in fact, i pretty much added all of azandar's houseguest dialogue (minus the lines specific to the necrom main questline because i hadn't finished that yet).

there's not nearly as much of a gap between zerith-var and tanlorin's pages, but i've added a lot more to tan's page by now than zerith's. so there's still a bit of a disparity between them.

(i'm not counting quest-specific dialogue, i don't add those. i just add companion responses and houseguest dialogue.)

Old tentacle-tea man is cool.

"what do I do if I have theories" will always be the fucking funniest reddit post

top tier comedy

okay but "the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You" is my favorite kind of symbolism

like yeah the monster is a representation of your unresolved trauma and guilt and a manifestation of the sins of your past but it's also a real creature and it's going to fucking Get you

I fundamentally disagree with Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain. "Never use two words when one will do," "don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do," I'm going to turn a single sentence into an essay and it's going to cost five hundred dollars per word because those are the right words to get across what I mean without ambiguity and misunderstanding, thankyouverymuch

fuck it. azandar & drals fursona time

"cohort" is a pet name. to me

just realized that bastian actually does have a favorite pet, and it's the great daenian hound, which i've added to uesp here:

(sometimes his responses are mixed with his generic ones to pets, but i've only ever seen those last three whenever i selected the hound.)

i figured that this actually makes perfect sense because as the name implies (aside from being a play on the great dane in real life), these dogs come from the daenian region, where daggerfall is located.

(side note: i got this dog on eu because my main oc over there is supposed to be part of the beldama wyrd.)

they do, actually! ember tends to like the small kitten pets:

while isobel is more of a dog person (uesp used to specify *which* dogs, but they don't seem to be listed now?):

isobel also comments on certain daedric pets, but the lines aren't on uesp and i'm away from my computer atm so i'll have to find and add them later.

azandar gets suspicious of creatures from apocrypha, but has a fondness for vvardvarks:

also here's a quick scribble of azandar's outfit from that last drawing, since it was mostly hidden and I kinda liked it!

modern au doodle because I just thought azandar would look cute in glasses :)
