I have always enjoyed having pets at my side in games
Whether they give you extra boosts, help in combat, carry things, help you travel, or whatever else your imagination can come up with
I also like having something else to level up with and have a companion. The Guy in Lonesford barn has one, why can't I?

Interesting idea... And yet another idea which requires npc movement intelligence...
But every time I play nethack, my pet either dies our runs away by the second level...

As far as intelligent movement goes: does anyone remember Shadowrun on SNES? If you hired a person, they would follow you on the exact path that you walked, tile per tile. Only map changes would be an open issue then. Or they could even share a tile with you.
I don't really like pets in real life, but if it is done well it might be a nice addition to the game.
By the way, Shadowrun. Hihi...

Exactly Buddy, no intelligence needed. Just some extra formulas (depending on their perks and abilities). I would prefer to see him/her follow me around, but if not, a pet could just have its own tab in overview.

FYI, Oscar had already said no to this idea when it came up in the past.
