Inspired by some of the classics like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and DOOM, the free shooter Darkenstein 3D has released and it's a rip-roaring good time.
Quality animal companions are definitely rare. Dishonored is the first that comes to mind, though I wouldn’t call the rats friendly companions - even the summoned ones were deadly.
I always played Lawful Neutral mages in Baldur’s Gate 2 because which familiar you summoned depended on alignment, and LN got a snarky ferret companion.
I wish the feature was more fleshed out - familiars didn’t react to narrative events and you could run through his entire dialog tree in about two minutes. There are thousands of mods for BG2; surely one of them expands the familiar system?
And Divinity: Original Sin 2 had a squirrel riding a skeletal cat that was pretty awesome, though I think it was a preorder bonus.
This should be a feature in every game.
