Query: Retainer Companions?

Although not retainers, it's essentially the same basic system. Anyways check it out! I'm trying to get a bunch people to discuss these features in one unified thread and to hopefully get a dev response eventually.

Well the two suggestions are similar, but I must admit there are some key differences. For one, you are suggesting a system that would be more story-driven, whereas I can't see how my retainer companions idea could benefit from having much in the way of plot (unless there was a way to assign some kind of "story template" to them or something). I wish there was a way to combine our ideas together. I like yours because it does add in that lore that is so sorely needed. On the other hand, with the retainer implementations in 2.2, it just feels like a natural progression to turn retainers into companions. I honestly couldn't pick one above the other.
