Necromancer RP Help

I’ve tried a couple times to be a necromancer as my main. I love the dread overlord mod subclass. But I always give up the run, bc for me necromancers think of death as a gift and what everything wants to be even if they do not know.

It’s only fun for a little while having a complete desolation run through. Where, as soon as someone can be killed they are. No cut scenes, no banter, lots of locked out content.

What are some reasons a necromancer would want live companions??
