1) my companion (the SI force eater) has not participated in class quest cut scene since the starter world. He just stands there. Is this normal, or a bug?
I find it extremely detrimental to the story that my companion has no lines. i bet SWTOR paid 8 figures for voiceactors. they might as well have voiced the companions as well..
2) When i stopped playing SWTOR, I just had to increase influence via gifts and I could talk to my companions- i have heard that this has changed to be related to story progress, not influence- is this true?
If not, what level (around) do you get companion quests and stuff? My force eater is level 11 influence and I haven't been able to speak to him since I resubbed (he was 6 I think)
