Summoning & Turning Friendly NPCs - Creatures, Undead and Vampire Companions (followers)

139 votes

I would love to be able to turn animal/creature companions (like our servants), create friendly undead NPCs that can follow/assist me, from skeletons to ghouls, then more advanced and dangerous undead (e.g. wraiths, death-knights?) until at the top of this research tree I could create a vampire companion to share eternity with and maybe even customisations for them in future too (Abilities and Appearance)

And the ability to resurrect these beloved companions of the night ^,,^

(Below is a possible extension for later, the above is what I would love to see most)

Additionally external NPC vampires where you could have a diplomacy/relationship system to either befriend, coexist or battle them. Could be expanded into creating NPC bloodlines, clans that you could join (or found your own!) or war against for territory/food - could result in solo/PvE server warzones etc.

More PvE Content please!

I LOVE this game, keep it up! <3

A good gothic castle could, and perhaps should, be haunted. Ghosts that travel around (perhaps capturing banshees as servants? I don't know, that might not be the right theme), passing through objects, etc.

If the "enthralling undead" idea is the "right fit" for V Rising, then offer the option to enthrall skeletal mages, priests, and warriors as well.

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to have a touch of the spooky for the castle as well.

Sorry if this was posted before, will take down if needed.
Was thinking about having little fuzzy companions to aid you on your lonely journey, but more than just cosmeticly or passive stats and attributes , like have an active gameplay feature for ex : perhaps a little armadillo u could sent to roll into a rock while you're gathering wood and see him wobble back with his arms full of pebbles to help your gathering, or maybe a fluffy byson when you go out pillaging villagers for that extra inventory slot to carry home some valuable resource u wanna stockpile on , or even have them for a pro-active duty like a lil beaver to build up a barrage in the middle of a fight sort of like a wall to block just 1 projectile so its not too op and maybe so its not spammable have him regenerate over 3 in game days, or an owl to heighten your perception and give you some sort of visual feedback like some rays or ripple effect to let you know of far away enemies when you wanna sneak some loot back hom

just like other games where you can hire an npc follower with skills and gear you can equip to follow an battle with you, when he dies he just respawn near you after some time.
this would be fun option specially for solo plays or small game servers/lan servers

but i know this would be really hard to do because programming a good AI is tough

Necromancy - I would love to be able to create undead NPCs that can assist me. Lesser minions like Skeletons & Ghouls. More advanced and dangerous undead like Wraiths, Liches & Death-knights. Then at the top of this research tree I could create a vampire companion to share eternity with and maybe even customisations for them in future too (Abilities and Appearance).

Demonology - A tree where I could summon or enthrall demons, making temporary allies and eventually permanent minions. Plus other abilities you could expand on in this theme. Possessing NPCs and controlling them, Summoning demonic armour/weapons to boost stats or later create permanent equipable ones. Opening gateways to the abyss to summon lesser demons or travel. Infernal Resilience, resistance to traditional vampire weaknesses, such as holy symbols or sunlight, due to demonic influences. Emit an aura that induces fear, weakness, or madness in nearby foes.

And the ability to resurrect the advanced companions for bot
