I didn't put this in the bug section cause I dunno if it's a bug or not, but...every single companion I've ran with so far, has some type of input about Rishi when you first step into town and even in the Slave area. But Tharan hasn't said a damn word. Is he bugged or was his voice actor unavailable?? Him remaining completely silent irks me hard.

It doesn't bother you more that the planets are like the size of Quesh?! Rishi is a bit bigger, Yavin IV maybe about the same.

 

The story has been good so far on the first character (getting to the end now, but running all 8 classes to see the class story parts will get repetitive, especially because it's the same story on both factions), but I am really disappointed that BW didn't make larger planets for the expansion. We don't see these very often, and another year and a half is a long time away.

 

I guess larger, explorable worlds are a thing of the past. Even in an expansion.

Take a look. He's not supposed to talk.

 

From the Vanilla companions, Consular-wise, only Iresso and Nadia talk.

 

This is apparently the way going forward. :rolleyes:

 

TOR is a game that makes millions every year, yet it would seem they don't have enough budget for the VA anymore.

Well, that sucks! So basically the only one's who talk are the ones we get booty from, ie marry. Wonderful, perfect. Bioware, this SUCKS. Please stop doing this. Don't we give enough money for more than two each class to talk? Arg.

Judging from SoR, I guess we don't.

SGR for Vanilla companions? DENIED. Too much trouble.

Expanded storylines for Vanilla companions? DENIED. Too much trouble.

 

SGR for new companions? Possibility. Wall of Crazy. Whatever.

 

New companions for 3.0? DENIED.

 

New companion in the foreseeable future? DENIED. UNKNOWN. Pick one.

 

Nice going no doubt.

Not even Qyzen talks :( And he is the easiest to make, he doesn´t even need a voice actor for his gibberish. :( :(

 

Aside some notable exceptions, namely during the intro for Rishi, NOT a single non-speaking Basic companion utters a single word throughout the experience.

 

That includes T7, Qyzen, Yuun, Bowdaar, Broonmark, Khem and Blizz.

That is very dissapointing and questiionable seeing how those don`t even need a voice actor. Very strange.

Khem is a bit more complicated, seeing there's this decision that affects how he... sounds later on. Regardless, this was considered for Makeb.

 

Technically speaking, just like Jaesa, there are two Khem's on Makeb.

 

For SoR however, yet again, I can only assume it was budget related. Preferable to think of it that way, instead of thinking they couldn't bother or don't care. :rolleyes:

I hope it was budget related. It was always me and Qyzen against everyone, hunters for life. I really miss his babbling about the scorekeeper. :(

It is a shame that most companions have little or nothing to say on the new planets. :( Honestly, I don't expect any of my companions to start talking in cutscenes all the time like they did in the 1-50 class quests. But having just leveled on Makeb with a couple of characters, I found the brief location-triggered companion comments to be really neat, and made exploring just that much more fun. It is a little thing, but after hearing nothing but the likes of "Engaging the enemy!" and "Miss me?" for ages, it still adds a lot IMHO.

 

I'd think that just a few sound bites would be a relatively small thing, budget-wise, and the fact that they apparently couldn't even bother to add lines for the gibberish-speaking companions concerns me a bit. I mean, surely they didn't think that everyone uses their romance companion and that no one would notice if the others were silent? xD

On my main 8, 7 of them use the companion they married, which is fine. But my consular, even though technically she's married to Iresso, in my RPing mind she never married Iresso, still too hung up on Tharan (who, via legacy tree) she had a kid with and still prefers him marriage wise to iresso, keeps them both in her back pocket as love interests...don't ask, she's the daughter of my BH and Torian, so her thought processes are...complicated.

 

But still. It'd be nice if they included people we were intimate with too, even if we can't actually marry them. I LIKE Tharan, I was hoping he'd say SOMETHING.
