# Vamoose's Companion

**Someone to keep you company while you play.**

WoW is an MMO, but we all spend plenty of time on our own -- questing through old zones, fishing on a quiet shore, decorating the house, grinding rep, running keys with strangers. Vamoose's Companion gives you a friend who's paying attention. They notice what you're doing and have something to say about it -- sometimes wise, sometimes funny, sometimes surprisingly touching.

Install it, pick a companion, and just play. They'll take it from there.

## What's New in v1.7.0

- **They notice your gear.** Armor getting worn down? They'll mention it. Something break mid-fight? They notice that too. Walk out of a repair vendor shiny again and they'll say so.

- **Pepe stays put.** If you were using Pepe on the portrait, he'd sometimes vanish after the housing editor or a cinematic. He comes back on his own now.

- **Quieter login.** No more "VC loaded" message cluttering your chat window.

*See CHANGELOG.txt for complete version history*

## Meet the Companions

Five personalities. Each one sees the same world differently.

- **Vamoose** -- A shaman who finds meaning in the smallest things. Warm, grounded, with dry humour that sneaks up on you.

- **Scurry** -- A squirrel who thinks everything you do is THE MOST EXCITING THING EVER. Endlessly enthusiastic.

- **Gazlowe** -- A goblin who sees profit margins in everything. Fast-talking, always scheming, genuinely impressed by gold.

- **Patches** -- A parrot who treats every outing like a voyage. Salty vocabulary, fiercely loyal, prone to nautical metaphors.

- **Murgle** -- A murloc. The translations are worth reading.

They live in a small portrait frame on your screen and react to what's happening around you -- walking when you walk, swimming when you swim, celebrating when you land a kill.

## What They Notice

More than you'd expect. Play normally and they'll surprise you with what they pick up on.

Every now and then they'll say something that genuinely catches you off guard.

If they're too chatty (or not chatty enough), there's a dial for that.

## The Little Things

**They remember your bond.** The more you play, the deeper your relationship grows -- from Stranger through to Soulbound. Your companion notices.

**They read the room.** Good things happening? Their mood lifts. Dying repeatedly? They feel it too. You'll see it in the portrait.

**They look the part.** Each companion has alternate appearances waiting to be found.

**They have style.** Three portrait frame options -- Classic, Ornate (filigree frame with parchment talking head), or Minimal (just the model floating on screen).
