mothermoy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 they are using the ship droid to level....i love the sniper, teh story and all. but kaliyo is such a disgusting choice as a companion for an UNDERCOVER AGENT. No loyalty at all. i mean how many employers did she burn through till she got to you. last thing i need is getting deep into a cover, and kaliyo deciding she is gonna bail.....hate kaliyo so much. As much as i love the class, i almost completely scrapped it, until i realized i could use the ship droid, i hate her that much...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-monty Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I must be in the minority of agents here but I freaking looove Kaliyo. I've got a healer Op at lvl 47 and all the other companions have been sitting around in my ship since I got them. This wasn't a thing where like she grew on me over time or anything, I loved her the second she opened her mouth on Hutta. Maybe it's just easier for me since I play my agent as more geared towards causing chaos than out of loyalty to the Empire, but Kaliyo hasn't left my side since she joined me, even though I know she will have to for a little bit later on. Granted, I can see where a lot of people just want to shoot her, but her constant stream of sarcasm, awesome war cry of "dibs on the head!", and at times her overly flirtatous behavior towards anyone that moves just makes her one of my favorites.

mothermoy Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 she belongs with the smuggler or bH not an agent..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acherom Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 When I initially started playing; I rolled a little sniper. It was fairly entertaining: I could throw grenades, shoot things, had a suave accent and several smooth lines. Then, I met Kaliyo. This companion made me quit my sniper flat out, and I didn't touch the class again until my friends all decided to try a different server. I look at Kaliyo; and I can't help but see Jack from Mass Effect. I. Hate. That. Character. Not dislike, not am slightly annoyed by, not 'I'll just leave her in the cargo hold until she gets bored and leaves on her own' disdain. Honest to good; Dark Side Loathing. I would eat the hit to crafting happily if I could just flush her out of the air lock. Even though I'm Cybertech and her bonus to Underworld Trading is quite nice.

Ellyria Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I look at Kaliyo; and I can't help but see Jack from Mass Effect. Hah, glad I'm not the only one. Couldn't stand Jack in ME2 (ME3 she seems a bit better.) She reminds me of those kids in grade school who start getting bold enough to use swear words, so they swear all the time just because they can and think they're bad*sses. Kaliyo rubs me the wrong way. I don't hate her, but I hate the fact that it takes so long to get Vector so you're stuck using her for 85% of the prologue/chapter 1. She seems almost schizo with her affection: sometimes she gives + for helping the Empire, sometimes it's -. Sometimes you do a good dead and get +, other times it's -. Do something completely destructive, might get a + or -, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothermoy Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 i dont mind sadistic, even and even dark side....BUT IM A FRAKIN UNDERCOVER DEEP PLANT AGENT!!! At least try to make me think im getting a companion that fits me somewhat. Id even take kaliyo packaged in watcher 2 skin, with a bit more internalization.....

mothermoy Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 only thing worse then kaliyo is making us wait SOOOO LONG till next companion. if you are going to do that kinda polarizing character which kaliyo is. drummond kass should give me another companion to choose from. so i don't have to use my ship droid. Jedi sentinels/defenders get t3 then right after that kira... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I like Kaliyo. She's a flawed mess and tends to cause more problems than solves, but that's what makes her interesting. I used her all the way until SCORPIO tried to kill me (when she first becomes a companion) and now I keep SCORPIO at my side constantly because she still wants to kill me, but I am considering using Kaliyo again now that the level 50 shenanigans are happening (I hate taking my eyes off SCORPIO though).

Gazzaho Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Are you kidding? Kaliyo has some of the best one liners in the game! I stopped playing the Operative after being disheartened with the damn Sith story instance and the continual death at his hands, and to be honest I miss Kaliyo and her warped antics. I mean how do you beat the line "Hey ugly I'll pay you to lick my feet... He'll do it, can you spot me 20 credits" said on getting to Nar Shaddaa for the first time, I nearly fell of the chair laughing when I heard that one.

chuixupu Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I"m always surprised when people say they hate Kaliyo so much. She's such a fun character and definitely my favorite out of all the companions I've run with (which is a lot, I'm an altaholic, and two of my 50s are Agents.)

Kamay Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Kaliyo and I got a long swimmingly because it pays to have someone at your side with loose morals when you are not doing pleasant things to people. When one is trying to intimidate someone it is always a plus to have a slightly crazy Rattataki standing behind you with her finger on the trigger (at least in my head that's what she was doing).

GraceandDanger Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have to say, Kaliyo did annoy me at first (and my female agent as well, who wanted to shoot her in the face rather than work with her) but she's starting to grow on me. And since I play my agent as a loyalist with a bit of a wild side, Kaliyo is actually fitting a lot better than I thought she would. As a result, my agent is more civil towards her now.

This for me as well. I actually enjoy her snide little remarks and her ******** attitude. My favorite champion line in the game was uttered by her after a holo conversation with an NPC; "Kind of cute wasn't he? Kind of stupid too........if he had money he'd be perfect!"

happysister Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i don't like Kaliyo either, but after meeting that sith who was shaking down my boss, she doesn't seem like the worst character in the story anymore. i'll be able to tolerate her until i get a new companion.

FluxWing Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I hated kliyo before I met the other companions... I mean the diplomat who is like a bug-zombie, and even more creepy when it comes to his loyalty to the Empire. Then the slimy were-frog zombie doctor jekyl, mr hyde ...and at the same time an old guy with a creepy smile on his face. I'm only lvl 38, so I haven't met the other freaks yet, but atm kaliyo and my agent are standing back to back on the ship watching the other "companions" with one hand on our blasters. And she is useful to an undercover agent, in that she draws alot of attention to herself. She distracts everything, which gives you the "tactical advantage" so far, the agent has the best class quests, but at the same time the companions are the weirdest bunch She's the hammer, you're the scalpel.

I'm glad this was mentioned because this is specifically one of her lines that exemplifies my hatred of her. Okay, fine; maybe she's just a tortured soul whos acting out for attention. Its not cute; I'm a god-D#%ed professional here. I have a job to do. Sure that kind of stuff might fly when she's running about with her space-pirate gangs or what have you; but she's with Intelligence now. Grow up a little and do your work, and do it right; or for the love of the Empire space yourself. (Or at the very least transfer to some other unit where I will never have to see you again.) However I will admit; that being able to insight such disdain is a mark of a very well written character. I do not for a second argue against her in that regard. If I didn't care at all it would be a whole lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankyhobo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I thought she was kinda cool when i first met her but she get annoying fast. About the only thing i do like about her is that i don't lose affection rating by making the dark side choices that i like to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erei Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 She was sooo annoying when I started. I was a profesional LS IA. She is the contrary. I was mad at her. But I started to like her more and more when I did her quest. Now, I wish there is SGR so I could romance her with my IA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimeran Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 She reminds me of an ex girlfriend, I like that her personality is out of my control, that she is a freak and is up for some bedtime. ..... but break anything on my ship and your out on your arse !!!!!

I use her because A) I'm only level 15 so I'm stuck with her but also B) she's an AWESOME tank!! Of course, she doesn't at all mesh well with my by the book follows orders to the letter Marksman Sniper so I'll be romancing Temple instead (MUCH later on in the SL) but as good a tank as Kaliyo is, I can tolerate her...quirky personality...especially since Keeper did say she was an anarchist...that's pretty much all I needed to hear, I knew right then with whom I was dealing Edited April 28, 2012 by StaticJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLeafClovr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I don't HATE her... but it did annoy me when I followed her advice with the data on Hutta.... and lost affection with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eutoxis Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 For folks that are worried about their Agent's Deep Cover... has it occurred to you that having a walking Chaos Bomb like Kaliyo around takes a lot of the targets' attention OFF of the Agent? Cover doesn't always have to mean Invisibility. Hiding in plain sight can work, too. Now I was as chagrined as the next player when Kaliyo started going off on the Cortess Duke but hey, at least she didn't show up with a Bug Army to Assimilate the entire fricking House!

What, how? I got affection with her for altering the data on the disc. Now I was as chagrined as the next player when Kaliyo started going off on the Cortess Duke That was hilarious. But then... I'm the one who slept with the Baron's wife, who was just trying to get me killed anyway but hey, at least she didn't show up with a Bug Army to Assimilate the entire fricking House! But I got him to turn against the nest and kill them all Edited April 29, 2012 by chuixupu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
