Character Animations for Elder Scrolls Online

Elder Scrolls Online has character commands that allow your character to express what are called emotes.  You activate these through slash commands on the PC although some of these are available only through Crown Store or game purchases and some are quest rewards.  On PS4 and XboxOne, you use the emotes by entering the chat window or by slotting them via the quickslot window. 

The Idle Animations addon for Elder Scrolls Online can also animate your character in various ways during downtime.  The second link below shows how it works.  Basically you choose a profile from a drop down menu.  Depending on the personality you choose, your character will do certain actions, complete with sound effects, when the character is idle.  You can set how long before your character starts an animation and how long it lasts, etc.  You also can set Event Animations so your character does an animation when you level up, get a champion point, etc.  The addon can be turned on or off, so if you don't want it active, you don't have to delete it entirely.

My Companion Talks Too Much (Elder Scrolls Online)

Is your companion in Elder Scrolls Online driving you crazy with the jokes and repeated comments?

You can't turn off comments entirely, but you can reduce (or increase) their frequency.   To adjust the vocalizations, go into the game settings menu, choose General Gameplay, then look for Companion Reactions.  You can change them from Normal (which apparently is the default) to Frequent or Infrequent.  It doesn't appear they can be turned off entirely.  By the way, this has to be done separately for each character if you have more than one.

The Elder Scrolls Online site has this information and more about companions, but they don't mention they function very well as tanks if you load them up with gear.  Apparently they can wear a lot of gear.
