RDX-TWO Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Since now we have animal mount I was thinking why don't we have animal companions? This would be awesome I would love to have a Nexu fighting as my companion. List your favorite animal you would like to have as a fighting companion. for myself Nexu. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nexu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebergy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 That would make it hard to have convos with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX-TWO Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't see why they need convo you could have a back ground story instead, around why and where you are getting this new companion it would be new and refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilora Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 First thought was. . . . Isn't Treek an animal? Technically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienEyeTX Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 First thought was. . . . Isn't Treek an animal? Technically? In the same way that a wookiee is an animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLynkes Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Isn't Treek an animal? Technically? Yes, and so are all the other non-droid companions. And your character, too. Edited August 13, 2013 by PLynkes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) I always thought the killik would be an interesting companion from Alderaan. They would be a neat companion. Not the common looking ones but the king/queen looking ones. Edited August 13, 2013 by Quraswren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienEyeTX Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm not really against the idea of animal companions. I mean, it would basically be a pet that could attack. No need for conversation or anything. Now I want a wompa companion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I knew that one but I was thinking an actual bug guy. Not a Joiner. He was kinda bland to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaing Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Heh, and if you don't have a high affection with your animal pet, they may turn on you... I remember being a Creature Handler in SWG, that was neat. Would be interesting if you could have some non-sentient animal-type companions. Think about it from in-story. HK: we had to find out about him in Section X, go to a derelict ship to find a schematic, then go all over the galaxty to get the parts. Treek: a mercenary we hire. Have to come up with some way our characters would "acquire" an animal. Jedi and Sith would be an easy story point of just using the force to domesticate/dominate the animal. Smuggler... maybe a pet for security. Bounty hunter... maybe for tracking, though the tech should suffice. Troopers and agents... hard for me to see them working with an animal. That said, a Nexu would be nice, as would "underworld" and Yarra creatures from Makeb. I don't think we'll see creature companions though. (and how would you "gear" them?)
