I don't have a problem with overlap on the companion... they could be opposite sexes and get along just fine in their own little pile. ;) The wolf is still on the list, but most other animals on that list don't really appeal to me... although a giant spider could be fun, that would just bring back memories of Eight Legged Freaks and the fight in the wall. lol<br/><br/>I played in a game once where my character was the only one who could cook and got left with the task every day... so he started just adding a little more pepper to every meal until they couldn't stand it anymore and replaced him... He went through ALOT of pepper.<br/><br/>On the bright side, if someone else will cook it, Lydia can hunt and dress fresh meat and probably find wild vegetables for sharing. Her idea of cooking isn't much more than stuff it onto a stick and hold over a fire until crisp. ;)<br/><br/>If he's REALLY good, he might find an occasional snuggling partner on cold mornings. lol
