Hello all,
I know the topic of animal mounts has come up before, i do not know about animal companion though
So this is my suggestion, obviously i would love to see animal mounts in game, this makes a lot of sense to me as jedi/sith can use mind trick and you often see military forces using animals in the star wars universe, so it works for non force users also. What i would like to see as an addition to animal mounts though is for that said animal to assist you in combat, so once you enter combat from your animal, if it is your chosen companion it will remain and assist your fight, i can see animal companions being either dps or tank spec depending on the species, i could even accept that animal companions cant do crew skills as a vine cat doing a diplomacy mission for me would just end up with the emissaries it meets making a tasty snack. This could also make affection not required, as for combat skills, considering we already fight creatures in the world one would expect that the skills and movements are already available. Thank you for taking the time to read, please show support for this to get the Dev's attention, or even add your idea to this if you like perhaps suggesting creature mounts you would like to see, me personally i would love a vine cat, introduced by the sith onto Dromund Kass as my creature mount/companion for my pureblood maruader, thank you for reading.
