Don't know if this topic is plastered all over the forums or not, didn't look. But I really want a dwarven companion. Maybe one that bald, epic beard, likes to smash things with a hammer or his fists. Also, must be an alcoholic, never pays his tab and maybe has a slight problem with brain-tailed tieflings, hot-tempered spellcasters, and nature-y elf people. Mostly he has a problem with evil barbarians... from Luskan. He really hates those.
This may or may not have anything to do with my tiefling rogue named Neeshka.
Sadly, we have a slight overabundance of tank-y type companions. Including 4 humanoids of the "fighter" archetype, numerous animals, and the occasional "anything else" here and there.
My recommendation? Add companions more associated with the factions we are dealing with in the new content. Delzoun Explorers styled dwarven warrior, Luskan Corsairs pirate-y type, a Moon Elf bow user (copy and paste one of those guards that help you in that one Feywild quest... don't remember name of quest), and a red cap spellcaster (reformed or coerced, could be funny). I know there's already the the Cold Iron warrior and Leprechaun, but the warrior seems to be filling a similar bill as the Man at Arms, Sellsword, and Neverember Guard. Maybe not mechanically, but visually (big humanoid in armor, hit things in melee). The Leprechaun... no criticism, none at all. It's a flippin' Leprechaun!
Ehh, just my two bits... mostly I want my dwarf...

I'd also love to see account-wide companions added. For someone who plays a lot of alts, (like myself), it's much easier to digest a purchase where all my characters future or present could benefit.
I'd also like to be able to use dyes on my companions. For humanoids, this would recolor their clothing/armor, and for animals/creatures it could recolor their fur or carapace.
