Make us choose companions like mounts

I really like the change where we now can use any mount without it affecting the power/stats that comes with a specific mount.

I would like this system be implemented for companions. There are so many good looking companions, but if you want to be BiS you are locked in on one or maybe a handful of companions to use as the summoned. There is no diversity.

    I asked the same question a couple of months back and was told it wasnt possible. [That was by players rather than official Devs though]

    I LOVE this idea

    Companions fight in their own term, style and timing. A tiger does a spin attack or shooting arrow would look funny if not awful.

    Could at least work on augment pets? :o
    Like If I have the owl bear cub, I should be able to use any of the companion "skins" without them fighting etc. Just as follower. :P

    The devs said a long time ago that WoTC would not allow them to do that, due to the companions having unique looks in both games(tabletop and Neverwinter).

    They COULD allow us to have a companion that shows up whenever there’s no combat. Like in PE. It would be like a vanity pet for show. But it would allow the 100s of companions to be shown off and have a use
    Did you really think anyone could steal the power of the god of thieves?

    Sometimes I just summon a different companion in PE...
    Yesterday I wondered if a companion that went round picking up loot would be useful... must have been in a tidying mood 🙂

    I think you already have a name for this companion, Roomba. :)
