Except I think for P:E the animal companion is going to improve with your level, which solves some of the problem of it becoming just another way enemies can hurt you with minimal payoff. If they balance it right, it should continue to be useful enough throughout. Hmmm... I wonder if a Ranger cna have a horse companion. Stick some firearms on him and suddenly you've got a Cossack or a Dragoon .
