lowflyingmeat Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Thana Vesh should be a Universal companion for all Empire Players! She's a great compliment to the story and would work for all the classes IMO. Light or Dark, she would just submit to you ...would also make a nice romance option. (Yes I know, this causes problem for republic players, as they want in on the pie too...but oh well). For the naysayers... She has a great character actually -She plays hard to get and this only adds depth to her -You should realize she actually listens to you (She does whatever Light/Dark side choices you want). She never outwardly tries to kill you or anything, she's just got a bit of an inferiority complex -Shes actually a born-to-be-sith (sure you can turn the Sith Warrior companion evil but Ive heard that shes lame. Plus Sith Inquis, we can't really change anyone to dark side) -She comes off arrogant, slightly one dimensional - but as the story progresses - you realize she's actually just an insecure sith. Pride & Insecurity go together you know -Yeah you can choose to kill her or save her, that is a problem - I'm sure the quest chain can be retconned for people who want her as a companion or something -The voice acting is essentially in the game already Specifically due to my main being a Sith Inquisitor -As a class inspired by palpatine, our inability to twist/turn someone to the darkside (ala anakin) is pretty disappointing. Especially because our character is constantly asking for his/her hand to be held by smarter people for guidance in the story. -I'll just take Thana over Ashara, thanks. Anyways, as a sith inquisitor - I feel robbed by my story in general. I'm at 45 and I've read the end story spoilers and it's still just a yawn for me. The companions suck, especially as a male. We get a buncha randoms including a mute dashade who just wants to eat as our first companion...plus our only romance-able companion is a barbie Jedi who can't truly fall to the dark side. I don't think I'm the only Sith inquisitor player who thinks our story is just mediocre. EDIT: after finishing the game and rolling an Agent alt, my impressions are the same, Sith Inquis story is lacking. Her story arc here: Edited February 3, 2012 by lowflyingmeat 1
memoriesofprey Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Even though I killed her, the lack of strong characters in Jaesa and Vette annoys me to no end. That, and the voice acting for Jaesa makes me want to ignore her. So, signed.
slimshedim Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 The only companions I liked in this game were Vette and Blizz. The others were either boring, or annoying (especially Quinn and the robot). A shame you can't romance Thana Vesh.
GingerFury Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Agreed, wish I could have her and didn't kill her for dark side points.
DarkestDaemon Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I did love her... but it got to the point where she and I were just one-upping each other on who could be the bigger jerk. ... Though I do wish I got her over Vette. Dark side Jaesa is too wonderful.
Mechavomit Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Maybe. With an option to change her somehow. It would be boring to have an only-evil companion. Even Khem Val has some sort of moral code, I doubt she would.
ShannaRZ Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I tend to agree. The storyline starts out as a rivalry, and you realize from the start that it will come to blows... but it need not END. Her character development is precious, and her strength could be molded by someone strong enough to hold the leash. I realize that there is a lot of hard-wiring related to which companions are in the mix for each character type, but I see no reason why we couldn't (at some point) choose to give up one in favor of an alternate as well-developed as Thana.
Sarkanus Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 You should totally get to choose between the ex-Jedi chick and Thana, in fact the way my story was unfolding I was sure this was what was going to happen, there should be an option for light side Empire to get the Jedi and dark side Empire to get Thana - it just makes sense to me.
ProsaicProse Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I found her pretty annoying, and I had my IA flirt with her mercilessly in a roundabout way to make fun of her. It made the character more enjoyable as her responses were hilarious and petty (especially on the heels of situations where she'd clearly failed, or got captured). Edited January 10, 2012 by ProsaicProse
Ethern Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 /sign. I want her as a romanceable companion. I spared her life in Taris in that purpose. I really like that option, since I can't romance the LS Jaesa. I already made a thread but it went unnoticed. I subscribe to this one then. Make it happen Bioware !!
xcimeister Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Haha. She annoyed me at the start and came off as pathetic, but the rivalry thing quickly gets quite fun. Yeah would be fun to have as an unlockable universal companion. I would rather kill her master then her. Oh and guys, use the spoiler command if you're about to spit out stuff which may be spoilers. Like this.
jarjarloves Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The only companions I liked in this game were Vette and Blizz. The others were either boring, or annoying (especially Quinn and the robot). A shame you can't romance Thana Vesh. Are you kidding Mako is the best companion in the game. But yeah we need Thana Vash as a sidekick. I do hope one of the things they will add as a content update is universal companions. Although the Bounty Hunters ship would get full pretty quick.
Ethern Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The only block I see with this request is to hire back the actress for the voice overs and rewrite many dialog pieces, without counting the fact that many killed her. Fortunately I'm not one of them. But Bioware seemed to indicate it would not be a major problem, so let's hope for the best.
ZakMorgan Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 It annoyed me that my flirt options led to no where in the end, I would have just killed her at the last mission if I knew that.
BrotherKarr Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I hated her and enjoyed just leaving her in the cell after you kill the cathar commander. She just annoyed me to no end I even chose to do every thing that was the opposite of her suggestions to make her look like a blood thirsty fool. I think she should be a companion for a Light side character to redeem and return to the light side.
Gestahlt Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I was saddened when my charms yielded no results. She is kinda hot and I'd bang it out like a drum. We're on the same page.

That or just reset the quest chain for everyone and then they just have to do it again if they want her to become a companion.
grania Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 She was a fun npc to interact with, I enjoyed arguing with her.
Cutemoff Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I liked her outfit and looks alot! But as a character she was damn annoying.. Also i like Jaesa quite a bit, and her voice acting so no idea what you on about there : o

That or just reset the quest chain for everyone and then they just have to do it again if they want her to become a companion.I don't think they will opt for that direction. I'm more betting on a substitute companion.
MandelynRain Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 She drove me absolutely batty (and everyone in my guild also), I believe every single one of us killed her. I stayed on Taris JUST to kill her. As I told my son, a hole in the head would have been more useful to you then she was Those were some DS points I really enjoyed getting
Deshiel Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 She's too puwerhungry for a light sith and too puwerhungry for a standart sith. If you'll show her even a slightest piece of weakness, she will try to get on top. that's why she's not a good companion material I guess... but wait... Malavai quinn...

I'd like to see her getting on top...
raelimar Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 /signed Players who killed her could get a cybernetic Vader-style Thana.
Karkais Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Signed. She plays hard to get? Certainly haha. But I find her funny rather than annoying. Even though shes likely to kick me in the unmentionables if I approach closer than 3 meters, I would enjoy breaking her. She brought nice flavor to Taris. "Come closer and Ill caress you with my lightsaber" - Thana Vesh ps. The end: Letting her go was one of the few conscious lightside choices Ive made. I hope Bioware lets me have her.
