Chasejyd Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 #1: More romance options with a full actual developed story/conversation chain. This could come from all over, but it'd be nice to have some distinctly different choices. Sure, there's specific suggestions, but more than that, I'd just like to see some different options. (SGR possibilities here would also be nice as actual companions, not just people you meet on Makeb then never see again like any of the other npc flirt options.) #2: Dr. Evesta and Cytherat would be easy choices to fill #1. Cytherat was the better done story on Makeb, but with Evesta, a lot of that had to do with trying to carry out a romance storyline in front of her Uncle... kind of awkward. I'd like to see more of her though. Easiest part about these two would be that they're faction wide. Also with Cytherat - yeah, no body. Besides, you can also save him, so if its an optional recruit, people can always decide not to recruit him. #3: Simply storywise, I'd love to see something like a talented young Jedi healer as a companion type to join crews. Right now, we have Guss... it'd be nice for some of the Jedi knights especially (as they lack a healer option, even, though also good for shadows and dps sages) to have a healer who still keeps up the knight & padawan adventuring story option/appearance. Its a Star Wars classic set up and look, but frequently not done, because people would rather run with a healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helig Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I would create a sith character just for Thana Vesh so i could use punish on her. She might like it rough, beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 On a broader discussion, I think it would be nice to fill in the gaps of each class with a companion that wears a gear type that doesn't currently exist in the class. For instance, there are no strength wearing Agent companions. So any strength gear I get from random greeds I just end up vendoring. I even offer to them to teammates and usually they're like, "nah, my comps all have better". You might be able to legacy transfer to some alts, but that only goes so far.

I wouldn't mind this, actually. I've come across this issue with Willpower stuff and my Scoundrel. Having some companions who use each of the stats would be pretty nice, and in some cases (like a Willpower user with a Smuggler), the interaction there would be pretty damn interesting.

Atma Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Characters like Thana Vesh, Jaxo and Cytherat are a no go seeing as half the playerbase has killed them off (although Cytharat can be explained by some "hey I didn't actually die" situation) Unless they do some kind of back to the future type stuff, lol... Too bad because I liked a lot of NPCs more than a lot of companions. I fully expect more global companions in the future. Maybe even some faction specific companions that you can unlock through the storyline instead of just buying them with CC.

MidichIorian Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Please, no non-humanoid companions unless we're actually able to change the look of their gear. Customization is one of the most fun aspects of this game to me and I make a big deal out of my own and my companion's gear (I like when other players stop, stare and whisper me about the gear ) I wouldnt mind the imperial security key vendor. She looks awesome. Edited September 2, 2013 by MidichIorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyfy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I certainly wouldn't mind getting a new companion along the lines of say General Hesker from the Imp side Corellia planetary quests. And a lot of the others that people have mentioned are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inflicktion Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) So if their fate is ambiguous (with death being an option) they are a no-go? Well that eliminates about every other suggestion in this thread and a prospective amount of NPCs that would work as companions. I'd possibly like to see Mia Hawkins (IA Tatooine contact), but given the parameters she wouldn't be a valid suggestion. Personally I'd probably just like to see more original companions in the form of exotic species and droids. Although I guess that doesn't really work for the crowd that wants companion romance.

ZETA_SCORPII Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I agree with those who would like to continue building relationships with our current companions. I welcome new ones but it would be cool to kill off a few that I don't really care for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djstingable Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) -I forget the name of him and if you could kill him or not, but the gormak on Voss for the sith inquisitor storyline, that helped you kill some things in the dreamworld, I would have much preferred him as a companion over Xalek, even though Xalek is pretty cool. -The jedi on tatooine for smuggler storyline that I believe you could end up killing, would also be a nice melee dps or tank. -The cathar lady on Balmorra in the bounty hunter storyline was pretty cool, though you did have to (spoilers:) kill her.... -As for planetary storylines, the imperial guard, Hesker I think was his name, would be nice. And the scientist guy who fanboyed over Dr. Oggurobb on Makeb as a republic equivalent. Any makeb npc would make a great companion, Cytharat, the Cathar, Dr. Avesta. Thana Vesh would be cool too.

Ireul Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm a fan of class-specific stuff, thus I'd prefer it if they continued the stories of the current companions. However, there are a few characters I'd like to see a companions - but limited to a couple of classes. HK and Treek work well as global companions because they were designed around that, but for existing characters global status wouldn't work because it would undermine some part of their established characterization. JK and JC: Bengel Morr SW and SI: Watcher One (a high-placed Sith could get him back into Sith Intelligence and thus would be a loyal minion and a good source of information) Trooper: Jonas Balkar IA: Watcher Two Smuggler and BH: Hylo Visz Republic: Doc Avesta Imperial: Thana Vesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocturnalchemy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 On the Imperial side, I think the Chiss, Yudrass, would also be a good choice for a companion. He's got a fantastic voice, and there's clearly more going on with him than what we get a chance to see on Hoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachass Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I actually can't believe I forgot this guy, but the Ethics Officer on Ord Mantell. He's hilarious, I wanted to trade Corso for him as soon I heard him talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyfy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thana Vesh for Imp and Republic, Agent Galen from the JK storyline, a Voss, and Watcher X. Your Agent Galen reminded me of someone else that could make for an interesting companion. When you first get to Tatooine on Pub side you end up talking to a droid near the exit of the spaceport who puts you in touch with Agent Fauler to sart the planetary quest that ends w/ "The thing Czerka found". Fauler has got a seemingly natural sense of humor that would posses me to find out what kind of trouble we'd be able to get into trouble with. On a side note for this one, I've tried looking it up and haven't been able to find the answer AFAIK, but does anyone know who the voice actor is for him? It's one I swear I have heard before but I can't quite place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laris_Rai Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Characters like Thana Vesh, Jaxo and Cytherat are a no go seeing as half the playerbase has killed them off (although Cytharat can be explained by some "hey I didn't actually die" situation) Unless they do some kind of back to the future type stuff, lol... Too bad because I liked a lot of NPCs more than a lot of companions. I fully expect more global companions in the future. Maybe even some faction specific companions that you can unlock through the storyline instead of just buying them with CC. The Morichro Force power would easily work as an out for Thana Vesh. Personally, I'd use that and bring her back as a dark side companion for the Republic characters. She's got too many enemies in the Empire so only the Republic could protect her. She'd be a great romance option for dark side characters which is something only the Smuggler really got. It might even be fun if she was now part cyborg as a way of helping explain what happened to her. But yeah, love me some Thana Vesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfius Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 As I suppose all next companions will be common for all classes... Visas Marr (or at least female Miraluka with same voice actor) Jaesa type (convertible) as force healer Chiss ranged dps/tank - military adviser / defector (to be available for all classes). Voss & Gormak duo as Treek based companion (one heal, other tank - may use only one at a time/send only one at crew mission/crafting) - most conversations include both and player have to put some diplomacy to gain affection. Nautolan (any type). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
