What I meant is that I sometimes don't remember which 8 companions I had leveld up to 50 on that particular toon, so when there's still one missing after I retrieved all I can through the terminal,I have no idea which mission to do for the particular one taht's not there, because I don't know who it was . But I admit, that's something I could prevent but just marking them down before starting the story.
Also if you play through the story on more than one character it gets very boring very quickly to have to go through these console choices again and again. Sure, I know it's my own fault I use crewskills on every single character I have. And I already have them leveld up to 50, that's the problem, I know I can check where they return etc, but that doesn't help me at all. I'm not interested in leveling up yet another set of companions on many of my toons, just because the game loves to waste my time. I just don't get the reason for this design, the least the terminal on odessen could do is have an option to return all of them at once, so I don't have to scroll through the same dialog again and again and again.
Was it a threat created in frustration in order to vent? Yes it was, and by ow I of course already fixed the issue and enjoyed the story. But the knowledge that I'd have to repeat the process again for the next toon will probably prevent me from doing exploring the alternative choices. Not worth the hassle.
