Pet system.

I may not be knowledgeable, but I want to know if there will be something similar to being able to have a pet/nps follower in battles and maybe even take care of it. And also about nps in general...

Summoning skills, Pets & Hirelings/combat npcs they said no to all 3 in the past, the only thing you're gonna have is some npc's with your mobile caravan maybe once it's out the way it's suppose to be and they said none of them would do combat or go with you

that makes me sad with the dog and cat in game I was hoping that was a hint a pet might be in the works... maybe a pet for supporter pack buyers? even if they just carried pet back packs lol oh well still an awesome game. I have never regretted buying this game I love it thank you Devs for making it... I just recently bought the supporter DLC too.

just for more information, or if anyone stumbles onto this thread asking them same question here's an answer from Wayfinder.

"Given the nature of combat in the game, I'm afraid all your dogs will be basically overly complex single-use consumables because they'll most certainly die within the very first couple of battles"

and a response to cosmetic pets>

"If we add cosmetic companions, people will demand them to have some utility, and giving them some utility will require making them mortal
And if they'll be made mortal, they'll most certainly die as soon as you encounter any hostile"

Given the specifics of the game, this sounds logical. Thanks

Summoning is not a hard no, I've had some interesting concepts for it for a long time. But it's a maybe for the post-release support, as we already have too much on our plate.

Pets and combat followers however won't happen due to the reasons Lava already posted. There's too much to change (starting from combat general balance to the whole approach to dungeon generation and difficulty curve) to introduce something like that.

If I broke into your home (territory) and just stood in your room, would you ignore me if I handed you a bag of chips so I could kill your dad?

It depends on what kind of chips
