KOTFE Story and Companions

[Amadahy]

I can only assume "resources" and "sexism" are the reasons for not giving any female character more than 1 full-blown romance option (that statement may or may not contain a double-entendre). If I played a female Inquisitor, I'd take Talos over Andronikos any day. And I bet many players of female Knights would take Scourge over Doc, Warriors, Pierce over Captain Metro and Agents Kaliyo over Vector.

 

I wouldn't call it sexist, that might be a little too far for me. I definitely agree about resources, though. After launch, I was surprised by the lack of romances for female. Especially since I am so used to having other options after playing other Bioware games. I think companion romances were supposed to be expanded on, but things happened.

 

Now (THANK YOU CHARLES!!!!) it seems we are heading in that direction.

My only concern about companions is the affection I have raised for them for crafting purposes, what happens to that affection regarding my crafting.

 

Thank you.

I'm assuming the worst and stockpiling gifts for the new companions that I'll be bringing in over the smoking corpses of Quinn and Skadge. Maybe Gault, too if he doesn't calm down.

My consular would dump Iresso for Tharan Cedrax any day of the week. I was quite bothered when he broke it off after one night because Holiday got her electronic undies in a twist. But then again, via legacy tree, my consular has two kids, one by Iresso and one by Tharan, so I actually have to have both back on my ship or else her children will be very hurt and angry with mommy.

 

My Jedi Knight isn't very attracted to Scourge, besides he kept saying he couldn't feel anything, so if they went off to black screen, it'd be like trying to get a 90 year old man who forgot his little blue pill in the mood. No thanks. I'll go searching for him and hopefully he'll return to my ship, I mean, who else is going to watch her three daughters with Doc when Kira is occupied in the Refresher?

 

Quinn is coming back with me alive and well. I've done the Sith Warrior story from start to finish three times. On females all three times and romanced Quinn all three times. I KNOW what he does. I went through it three times. My main Sith Warrior forgave him, told him to make it up to her in their chambers and that was that. Besides I have to take him back, their daughter would be pissed with mommy if mommy killed daddy for no reason other than 'well seeing as everyone

betrayed me, even your daddy

I decided I'd kill daddy when I went looking for him'. Eh, no.

 

My RPing head can't wrap itself around NOT having all 40 original companions back. It doesn't matter if I detest Skadge or Tanno is annoying or Kaliyo gets back handed by my male pureblood operative (I have three agents, my main one is the one who's married to Vector), I have to have them all back.

 

Kira, Vette, Jaesa, Nadia, Temple, Risha, Mako, Dorne, Ashara all watch my main's little ones when Mommy and Daddy go off to smack around the next bad guy trying to destroy the Galaxy, so....Every one needs to come back home.

[Cedia]

It's an EXPANSION, not a REBOOT.

 

You're mistaken, it is a reboot. Reboots are all the rage these days.

 

That having been said, since learning about the romance dialogue bugs that still exist, I will be extremely surprised if we don't get shafted.

 

I've completely lost my faith in BioWare and I really hope that they can restore it. I'm tired of bugs in their games that never get fixed -- Zevran's romance in DA2, broken male elf arms in Inquisition... I'd really like to buy a finished game from them for a change.

Erm, so Sir Charles, about that blog post? Is it ready yet?

Scourge is probably secretly a huge sub.

Sadly, sir Charles got Musco-ed, and we have to wait for a few days before his evil clone can be embedded into corporate structure.

[DarthOvertone]

Ooh...This sounds a lot like an idea I had long ago, in a galaxy far away: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=679031&highlight=Kill+companion

 

This next expac could be great.

 

By the way, Light-Side Trooper is such a douche. I hate the choices I made on that toon...except for Elara. I'm glad he got down with Dorne.

 

As long as my Bounty Hunter gets to keep Blizz, all will be right with the world.

Noooooooooo.

 

did I channel the newly created Darth Vader correctly?

I play a female inquisitor and she's too busy zapping people, plotting with Marr and finding food for Khem to give a damn about silly romance.

[darthscotty]

If I can kill companions I already have my hit list.

 

Quinn Dead

Skadge Dead

Corso Dead revived and then killed again

Theran Dead

Iresso Dead

Vik Dead

Andronikous Dead

Xalik AKA most useless tank ever DEAD DEAD DEAD

 

Those are the ones right off of the top of my head I am sure there are a few more that I will kill off.

[Anaesha]

Makes me wonder how many guys are going to choose an all female team (assuming you can) and be the only male on the ship.

[nuclearmind]

All I can say is I really, REALLY, want Lana Beniko as a companion. Just read the first page... and my gosh since I first say her I wanted her as a companion. She shows, like Darth Marr, what a pragmatic Sith can be. And we need that. Especially now that our Empire is in ruins.

Just remember, it's biological fact, when more than two females get together, after about a month or two their cycles cycle together. So whoever picks an all female companion team, their male character will have to deal with not one or two cycling females, but five. Freddy Kreuger is less scary.

I'd like her as a comp assuming they rework her face so she doesn't look quite so weird like she does now.

LOL, That would be funny if they added something like that to the game.

Hey! Where did you get my hit list!

That's a good idea with the stockpiling gifts and probably the only companion I will not want again is Doc. That is the only companion that my boyfriend keeps wishing he could kill so this is a way hopefully to get rid of Doc. He even wanted to leave Doc with the emperor at the end of my class story, chapter 2 ending.

[Mannam]

For my Bounty Hunter, I would like to have Akaavi, Torian, Qyzen-Fess, Blizz, Gault, Bronmark, Mako and Shae Vizsla as companions. Sith Warrior and Inquisitor, Lana Beniko, Ashara, Jaesa, Xalek, Scourge.

 

Agent, Sorcpio, Talos, Pierce, Quinn, Vector, Lokin, Raina, Andronikos, Gault.

 

Smuggler would be Kaliyo, Vette, Andronikos, Doc, Guss, Risha and Bowdaar.

 

Quinn needs to die painfully!

[CaptV]

Id like Quinn to have a moment to redeem himself after betraying us to Baras in SW storyline, id love him to do something heroic as a true act of retribution, or simply accept his sacrifice is for the greater good (if you tortured him).

 

If he dies, I want his death to make us actually regreat hating him, otherwise it feels like its just too easy.

 

Also, id like more chances to corrupt/redeem characters in this expansion, possibly give Scourge a chance to become a proper Jedi, or turn Nadia into a dark jedi protoge, fully corrupt Ashara and maybe redeem DS Jaesa/corrupt LS Jaesa.

 

Maybe on the non forcie side you can have corruption/redemption from non forcies too. Make Vette's past influence with the Sith Warrior shape who she becomes in the future, e.g. collared vette becomes a total DS monster that wants to kill people for fun because she was bullied and tortured. While LS Vette remains true to her quirky jokey nature while being slightly more empathetic to people than usual.

 

Maybe give Khem Val the chance to become a warrior that thinks of honor more than bloodletting, or make Mako into a ruthless killer that loves credits over kindness.

 

Id love more "influence" its the reason kotor 2 was so immersive over kotor 1, you could literally turn your group into a heroic team or a monsterous army.

[henriquecorseuil]

I just want to recruit Lana Beniko and kick out Lord Scourge (if possible).

[Yamahara]

Possibly...

 

You owe me twenty dollars btw.

[Lyshar]

I just hope with the focus on story it'll be treated like planet stories rather than class stories.

 

What I mean is how instances are handled. for the original content you had the class stories and the planet stories... and just other missions. Class stories were understandably for the single characters, it was about them and just them (separately for each of the same class). Planet stories were able to be shared, which gave the whole multiplayer storytelling options.

 

Then there was Makeb, not sure if that was treated as a class story or planet story. It was the same for all the classes per faction, so it should have been planet stories in my opinion, I have my doubts. Not a Makeb fan really, so I'll leave it at that.

 

Then the Rishi/Yavin story came, was planning to do that together with a friend, didn't happen cause of some reasons. Final instanced boss even on the weekly couldn't use a shared instance. So guessing it's all treated as class story even though it's the same for everyone.

 

Then came Ziost, and I was helping a few friends when they did it for the first time, yup, all three of us had to go into our own versions of the instances.

 

So I really hope it'll be "planet stories" so we can share the story. Doubt it though. If they even see this, I hope they can add an option to do it coop, making people have to accept that consequences may happen because of other people winning a roll when they toggle that option. - But that's what can make it fun ESPECIALLY when choices mean something, those that disagree would still just be able not to opt in for that. But I know people that would love this, me being one of them on at least some characters.

There have been questions regarding this, and they have yet to answer this, as of yet. I do hope they do give us that option as a lot of people I know, myself included, play with boyfriends/girlfriends, spouses, family members and friends and the way it was done in Yavin and Ziost was not something that we liked.

 

Giving some of us an option would be nice, but will they or will they even answer this question is another question in itself.

[Oyranos]

I can only think of 2 now...

 

Malavai Quin and Uzen fess anyway the lizard... I am not keen with reptiles. DEATH TO THE REPTILES.

 

I would also love bioware to change the economy of the game. Stores we can have each time we are subs and different kind of AH, more underground and isolated areas of the galaxy... Not instansed stores, but something like the fleet... We get our little space, we choose our sign, add our NPC and start selling..

 

really what happens with the fleets, remain the same? Since we are scattered and dead, the fleets are ok and the AH?

 

Imagine a kind of fleet, but all of it to be a casino, events and little stores by players. We can add 1 companion staying there and place all our goods for sale....
