Animal Companion Helmets...

[Jivebot]

I saw video of the helms ranger Animals wear once you get high enough level and...Blegh. Hideous. Immersion breaking. I don't want it.

I was planning to play a beastmaster next but not if that's what I got to look forward to. Anyway to remove those things or are they unavoidable?

Are you aware you can hide the helmet?

[DietDrPibb]

Immersion breaking has lost all meaning

[GrandMajora]

Use the spider companion.

Instead of armor, they just evolve into more powerful spiders.

[Natilus13]

Agreed, this is awful. I can understand that some people might like it, but there should at least be an option (as with your other characters) to toggle the helm off/on

And how do you hide the helmet on animal companions exactly? I have been trying to figure this out for months.

Speaking of Animal Companions....

Is there a way to rename them? I was in a multiplayer game with somebody who had a crow familiar and a dire raven animal companion. One of them was named 'Quoth' and the other was named 'Corvus'.

Then again, it might have been a modded game, because he had both of them out at the same time, which I'm told shouldn't be possible.

No. it's their default names.

Well do I have news for you. Even if you solve the helmet problem you will still have to deal with the getting stuck on nothing problem. Unless you plan on using the bird you will always have to deal with the frustration of the dumb pets not knowing how to walk

I thought it was custom, because 'Quoth' is obviously a reference to Poe, while 'Corvus' is a fancy name for the family of bird is belongs to.

Think both of those are from quest rewards. One is a quest in Act 2 you get gloves from helping the guy who wants to punish the dead bartender . I forget where the other drops. Did not have to rename them since they come with those names.

Ah, then definitely mods, because he had these in Act 1 before we even reached the temple of Selune.

The bear is called Ursa Major which not only is the constellation but Ursa = Bear in latin

no no no

Quoth is a find familiar summon, a lot of classes have it
Corvus is a Ranger's companion summon

[jennireneex]

Only seen the one from the gloves, and have obtained some item that summoned the other as well, but they could be just mirroring a familiar spell summon.

The raven I summoned when I played ranger (archer not beastmaster) had no name though so never seen them from a basic summon spell.
