iain_b Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Khem Val, I just met you. We have not yet built up enough of a relationship that I feel comfortable being this close to you, especially since you keep telling me how you want to eat me. When we are running through the streets and wilds you are so close to me that I can't interact with the environment around us because your hulking, muscled bulk takes up a lot of my view. And after a few hundred years in stasis you smell. Really, really bad... Edited December 24, 2011 by iain_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadysketchy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This is an issue with all of the pets in TOR, but Khem Val is perhaps the most offensive, as he is just far too large I hope they make it more like hunter pets in WoW, where when you get a new pet; they are scaled down to a managable size, to avoid this sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain_b Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm bumping this thread because now that I'm playing my Inquisitor more it's starting to drive me insane. Khem is ALWAYS in my way when trying to loot a mob or resource node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racsofp Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I haven't played an Imp yet so nothing to compare it to, but it sounds similar to my issues with Qyzen Fess. Just always in my way. So much so that I start to get paranoid and think it's intentional because there is no way he just accidentally gets in my way this many times in a row. I run up on the left side of an item so I can click it on my right side...Qyzen shoots in, runs around in a little circle and settles on my right side...directly in the way. I switch to the right side....he darts in, circles briefly, settles on my left side...again directly in the way. Back up and turn a bit, he does some raindance and settles on the item again.

MattieP Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have to agree with this. On many, many occasions, I have to move the camera angle, so I can interact with an object, because my companion is pretty much in my face. And quit friggin' looking at me.

Selaik Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 agree , I get so sick of trying to talk to a quest giver or picking up loot and clicking on him all the time , MOVE BACK SON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not pets, they are companions. You don't feed them, you don't tame them, and you don't pick talents for them. They have much better AI and a much wider range of abilities then those pets in other MMOs. They interact with you in dialog and quest chains, and they have opinions and responses to what you do. That said, yeah, they do get in the way, UNTIL you figure out their pathing habits and then you can easily adjust your movements so that they don't get in the way for looting, clicking on quest items, etc. etc. And Khem is probably the best companion I have experienced so far in this game. His dialog, comments, and quips are very entertaining for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bammur Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Of all the companions, Khem is the one that seems to have the most over sized hit box. If you back off on your viewing distance and slide the cursor around, you 'contact' him at about 3 times his actual width. Having said that, all the companions seem to be too close on occasion, except of course when you get on an elevator and they decide not to ...

Seraphynn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Khem and Qyzen are both as guilty as each other for this intrusion into one's personal space. I don't know why they have to stand just where you want to click but playing both an inquisitor and consular.... It bugs the hell out of me.. My bf laughs as he hears me swear to said pet to move their great big hulking butt out the way. Usually I get to that stage once I have moved a couple of times and they are still in the way!
