Are we getting brand new romances with any companions in KOTFE? Not counting Lana since I assume you can continue it with hers. I mean like Koth or any other new companions.

1. Nautolan 2. Zeltron 3. Falleen

Actually, Andronikos doesn't blink if you fool around with another dude in game- even finds a partner himself and gives approval if you chat about it casually. Since he often talks about spending time away from each other when you get bored, and is a pirate, I doubt cheating is a big deal to him.

For me: Doc, Corso, Skadge and Pierce are getting kicked out with prejudice at first opportunity. I love everyone else to bits. But those four...urgh.

Well, you know, it's not just typical male gamers- women who prefer women play this game too. And Theron's as much for male players as he is for female players. Sorry, as a gay female gamer I get upset when ever people equate a female character being for men and male characters as being for females. I am excited for Koth because he's SUPER cute and hope he's an LI, but I was really disappointed when I heard Theron wasn't the one with Lana to break you out. It feels weirddd to not have them together.

Difficult, ecause while Mako and Risha are my favorite female companions, I only really want them on my bh and smuggler respectively. So Akaavi. She's great and is interesting with any class.

Yeah, it just comes down to use needing more f/f and more m/m (and more lady companions in general). This COULD be solved Bioware by making your returning companions s/s romanceable, you hear! (If Mako and Risha became an f/f romance you'd find me in the nearest coffin, just know I died happily). Again, hoping Theron is just a huge NPC, both he and Lana and Koth and another lady are available. It's nice to have one, but to have choices like everyone else would be nice. Edit: And UGHHH Corso. My lady smuggler was a lesbian and I was so mad everytime he approved of me not flirting with men...no she's not 'a lady' she's GAY GO AWAY I DON'T WANT TO ROMANCE YOU!

Well, I'm quite glad the crew is skewing towards women, especially in Senya is one too. We ladies got seriously screwed by the absolute itty bitty amount of women in the game. Trooper, both Jedi, Inquisitor, and BH only have ONE female companion each in their group and it's really depressing. An injection of women was deeply needed. Now just...make them SGR bioware...do it...I waited so many years and have romanced Lana like 5 times just...please...

He's a bit old though for a romance. And he'd have to be m/m available to be Theron's replacement (Theron's not just for women after all) and I somehow doubt that. I mean, nothing says he couldn't be, but I doubt it.

I guessss they could make it even by having Koth and Lana being the only romanceable ones in the group, making it even for one SGR companion for both dudes and ladies, but I hope instead we get Theron/Lana/Koth/Vaylin. I guess being a companion could be seen as Lana's 'compensation' for not getting a comic and book like Theron did? Again I'm just hoping Theron will have a huge NPC role that they're not spoiling yet.

While I disagree with Lana being mary-sue-ish quite deeply, I agree that it would be pretty awful if Theron got shafted. He's had a book and a comic (and as you said, it's awesome to see a bi non-white lead in these things) and has huge importance to the storyline due to his heritage. While of course as a non-straight player I'm over the moon at having my sweet lady companion to romance, it'd suck royally for the dudes I know who waited so long for a serious m/m romance to lose him. I'm hoping he just became head of the sis in the years you spent in carbonite or is mission control or something.

PLEASE be a bi romance Vaylin. (Or not bring a romance at all is fine). I'm so tired of pretty ladies I can't go after...Miranda, Morrigan, Mako...not that I don't love Lana, but more would be awesome. Or Senya if they are a lady, they seem really cool.

Hm...

They're both definitely bi, I at least trust the devs enough at least that they wouldn't give us a whole game of definitely 100% hetero characters but the second we get bi characters it's 'schrodinger's cat sexuality'. That would be embarrassing. And it's certainly not lazy writing that two characters you team up with happen to be bi, I would think.

Lana Beniko and Theron Shan. They re-ignited Swtor entirely for me.

Nautolans are going to be added after Togruta, tbh. They hit all the points Bioware requires (including being romanceable- I think we see a Nautolan lady romancing a Zabrak guy at one point) and it'd make people who want more alien-less-painted-human options happy, and we've seen they're fine with adding toons with head tentacles. They also already have models in game. After that a new race option will probably be a new race added to the game period, since all the ones remaining, even the painted-human aliens, wouldn't make sense. (Devaronian is a possibility, I guess, but I reallllllllllllly doubt it). I think it's likely to be Zeltron- they're popular, were in KOTOR and mentioned in game, etc.

150% ready for storyline continuation. Completely buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.

D: Ah, this was sad. Nice to see these come in parts, now, though!

A more casual looking formal uniform would be cool- like the imperial officer uniform, but unzipped to show an undershirt underneath or something- because I mean who runs around the desert meeting perfectly in uniform?

Theron and Lana could never be companions for a million reasons, but I wish. Oh, I wish. I love pretty much all my companions on every pt but I'd throw half of them out the airlock for those two. They're really well-written and interesting and the fact that they interact with each other makes the group feel more close-knit than a lot of companion groups. Also, they're SGR and we desperately need SGR for companions. After seeing the new stuff, I'm guessing that they will be appearing until at least the Emperor is finally defeated. Which is good, because I want to see them and their romances followed up more...if we can't get them as companions, I want them to have a hell of a storyline.
