LtGeneralGezlin Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There were no hk-51' in tsl. There were hk-50's with silver colour and blue eyes. If you played the hk factory restoration mod there was stuff about a new series of hk droids that was going to be made. I also belive GOTO was involved in something ...man it was so long ago i played that. But something like this. There were no hk-51s in kotor2. I was talking about the restored content mod, which is where the HK-51's are seen (They have the blue eyes). To me, the TSLRCM is canon, which is why I stated it like fact. Sorry, I should be more clear. Just excited for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtGeneralGezlin Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 HK-51s were supposed to be in TSL. If you play TSL with the restoration mod (a better [non official] version of the game, using Voice Over elements that were left on the disc, but not in the game), you would see the HK-51s. I haven't played the restoration mod for a while (I'm waiting until they finish version 1.8) But, I love how much more they added for HK-47, and the factory.

Ravager Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I was talking about the restored content mod, which is where the HK-51's are seen (They have the blue eyes). To me, the TSLRCM is canon, which is why I stated it like fact. Sorry, I should be more clear. Just excited for this! Parts of it are canon, as per the New Essential Guide to Droids. In this source book, made several years after The Sith Lords, it explains that HK-47 eventually discovered the HK droid factory on Telos' surface and was able to assume control of the droid army and defeat G0-T0 on Malachor - as was originally intended before being cut. Thus: HK-47 being HK overlord is canon. Edited July 16, 2012 by Ravager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Precursor Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Any word on the requirements for acquiring this companion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravager Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Any word on the requirements for acquiring this companion? Apparently, you need at least two characters - one on the Republic, one on the Empire. One of the two must be max level, the other relatively high in level. Acquiring the companion involves the Legacy system somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I hope they post it on Youtube or some place I can never view videos posted on Biowares site. I need to pause it to view it, but if I pause it the download stops. If I let it run to the end and I try to rewind it. Then its all choppy again from buffering. I hope so too. This site just flat out sucks 98% of the time with their videos...someone really needs to look into this haha. Whoops someone posted a link...thanks by the way !!! Simon Templeman doing the narration? Oh, youtube link for you all here: I love how it's the same VO for HK-47 and the 51's from Kotor II ..pity this legacy will be better than that of HK-47 and Revan....I will never forgive BW for that..

thewatcheruatu Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yay! I hope this is merely the first in a whole line of new collectible companions BioWare intends to release over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moza Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm really curious - will HK-51 be a 'full' companion - will he have unlockable convos, and gain affection through NPC conversations? Or will he be like the ship droid, and only gain affection through gifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the New Essential Guide to Droids. somewhere, but I haven't read it since it came out. So, I may be a little rusty.

I doubt there will be any different skins for him though, unless there is a battleworn version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes i guess you're right about the blue eye thing(i thought the hk-50s had em). I also see the TSLRCM as canon, considering it was supposed to be in game, and it makes the whole game make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeverinTalyc Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 is this going to be a quest line that we can solo or are we going to group and role high to get him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I would be surprised if there weren't custom skins for him, considering he is being labeled as a 'full' companion. I foresee a chrome, battleworn, and/or HK-47 skin, personally.

KarethRiker Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm guessing your mid level toon has to finish Foundry or Maelstrom to get something from 47 (although is level 37 mid level?) then send it to your 50 who must either do EV or go to a 50 restricted area of Belsavis to implant it into the new 51.

I sure hope so. I mean, I love this new look, but that Iron Man lookalike chest light... It just doesn't look right. Lol look at PvP armor...we have MK-I and MK-II Iron Man armor already for Jedi haha. Plus, how do we know that wasn't the concept for HK units in the Kotor series. We all know Kotor II (well it was fully restored few years ago) was very rushed. Edited July 17, 2012 by Eillack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet I'll get used to it in a few... hours. If I keep watching the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakMan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If this is a Legacy character, I wonder what letter will be sent from one member of the family to the others would be like when they get their new Assassin droid. "Hey Fam! Check it out! Found a bunch of these droids just sitting in a ship on Belsalvis, crazy right! Anyways I made sure to get once for each of us, even grandma! Enjoy guys!"

WarraW Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 HK-51 is on Hoth not Belsavis...It wouldn't make any sense in the Lore to have the ship on Belsavis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not, well at least that's what I got the impression of at E3. We are going to have to complete some difficult quest series across the galaxy to get HK 51 and we need one level 50 and a character half way to cap. 1 imp 1 rep too.
