I can’t be the only one getting tired of Bran. Meanwhile we have a whole roster of order hall companions you could bring back and let us use. Just copy and paste Bran’s abilities on to them and let us use them I honestly don’t even care if they’re voiced or if the abilities make sense on them.
Alternatively if this is supposed to be evergreen/we’re going to have more delves in future expansions take a bit of time and choose a companion for each class and give them the same abilities but with appropriate animations and voice lines. Anything but the flanderized Bran we currently have.

Brann is only the Season 1 companion.
I suspect after we’ve had several seasons of companions to generate data about performance of the AI with different customizable toolkits and player loadouts we’ll see some options in companions.
It would be nice to see some other choices, though I would not necessarily want Order Hall companions.

This is actually a pretty cool idea.
Really doesn’t change what I’ve said, we had companions in the past let us use them and get rid of Bran.
Well, I have him a fifth of the way there from Zekvir attempts before I managed it.
Though I actually really like Brann, which is not how I felt about him in any prior expansion. Better voice acting helps a lot, lol.
Genuinely I think his voice acting is worse now. Not trying to be rude to the VA but he sounds so dumb and cartoonish now. I am so sick of hearing “DON STAN THERE” “FOUN A BITA GOL” over and over his voice is too annoying and abrasive to be so loud all the time.

That would be fire. I got nothing more I can add- this is just an excellent idea.
10 outta 10, no notes.
Also just to add I think order hall companions would add some sense of continuity/permanence to the world that it’s been seriously lacking. Plus it wouldn’t require them to add anything new since that’s like pulling teeth for blizz.
I would like for Brann to take a short walk off of a tall cliff.
I agree with the fact that more of those characters need to be reused. I just wouldn’t like it to be “you’re a paladin, you have to use the paladin OH companions”. It’s a lot of extra effort, and tbh, I didn’t particularly care for most of the companions on most of my classes. Would be nice to pick and choose from a larger set.
The characters already exist and the assets are there it’s a lot less effort than coming up with a single new original character that people may also not like. And to be clear I’m not saying only add order hall companions they can add as many as they want I would just like the option to swap out Bran.
Blizzard has expressed interest in making even our warband characters into followers, so I think it’s safe to assume we will get a variety as the system expands.

i want Sylvanas as my “delving companion” for impure reasons.
I actually find his voice acting to be obnoxious and annoying. I’ll be thrilled when he’s gone in S2. (Granted the replacement could be just as bad)
I already have all 4 of my Legion Order Hall companions with me all the time
Explains the rotting smell.
the problem will be the AI you can put any NPC but as long as the AI is this terrible like currently is… we will be asking for new npcs every season until delves arent a thing anymore.
Except no one here is talking about AI, my problem with Bran isn’t his AI being bad it’s that he’s annoying. I even said copy and paste his abilities on to others.
I’d like Gazlowe as my S2 companion. Get some goblin mayhem going in the delves.
