ProHazor Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Do we really loose our previous companions in the new expansion? Thats really annoying, the time ive spent gaining affection and hunting gear for my main comps: Jaesa, Vette & Malavai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 You will get new companions however, including, quite possibly... # # HUGE SPOILER FOR KOTFE BELOW # # Darth Marr. Whether permanently or temporarily is another matter, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraxusAngel Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'd say it's going to be like Mass Effect 2 in many ways. Time skip, some new companions, a couple of old ones, but most old ones will be making cameos like Liara and Ashley or Kaidan, for example.

Rechter Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 All I know is I would assume we get to keep HK no matter what, because he is not a normal companion. I had better not have to go find him again, he had better be waiting with a hot cup of caffe for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirhd Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) All I know is I would assume we get to keep HK no matter what, because he is not a normal companion. I had better not have to go find him again, he had better be waiting with a hot cup of caffe for me! Probably not, since HK-55 is listed on the KoTFE site, and is very likely a companion. The line they posted imply he's a bodyguard of sorts. Hk-51 probably got trashed or something. : / (Maybe HK-55 was made from parts of 51? Idk) Edit : If you were refering to keeping HK-55 no matter what, then this post is invalid. Whoops. Edited August 6, 2015 by Mirhd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I better still have Bowadaar, or there will be hell to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diviciacus Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) They've all but confirmed loss of (at least some) companions. From Dulfy's Gamescom Q&A transcripts: What happens to companion armor currently equipped if we may lose some of them in the expansion? Don’t worry we will tell everyone beforehand what to do They wouldn't have to tell us anything beforehand if there wasn't going to be some (permanent) changes.

Yermog Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 They haven't made any definitive statements about how companions will be handled. They've said you will be able to recruit companions based on who you like, but they have't said who you can recruit, or how many. I'm sure they'll limit the number somehow, but besides that nothing certain has been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they said you'd be able to use anyone you'd like with the new system instead of relying on the class of the companion. This I like! After this, I wonder if I need any other companions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngFour Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) *hands Vector a Kolto pack* "Thank you, Agent. But we are unharmed." "Oh, I know that. That's for you to use on me when *I* get hurt. You're a healer now." "We are the Dawn Herald." "Yes you are. And now you're also a healer. Just think about how you can rub it on my skin when I'm wounded. Kinky, right?" "We..we will try to keep that in mind and we will make sure we are not overly distracted by those thoughts." “That’s all I ask. By the way, the Kolto really brings out the green in your pheromone cloud.” “…Thank you, Agent.

ProHazor Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 All i know is that if Bioware decides to take away the companions ive spent credits on buying gifts for to get 10k affection, they better pay me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying they better pay you back for the credits/comms you paid for the useless mods. Though, I do tend to agree that I find it odd they are getting rid of any companions that players likely spent credits and real money on, at the same time I don't want quiet say nothing companions either.

Rechter Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It we have total say in what companions we can re-aquire, then I am going with My apprentice and all Droids. No more stupid Quin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayddow Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 As much as I like her abilities, if we could mute a companion I would do so with Treek. I like her story, I just don't like the constant jabbering during battles. As long as we can recruit Scourge I'll be happy. Although I might have one of my characters try for an all-droid crew. <hk51, hk 55, t7, m1-4x, scorpio and the shipdroids> now that's a crew that would have some interesting conversation possibilities!

Aeneas_Falco Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It we have total say in what companions we can re-aquire, then I am going with My apprentice and all Droids. No more stupid Quin! I imagine the player won't be able to choose from all of the potential companions. That would be too many variations for the devs to account for, unless there is practically no dialogue between the Outlander and the people you recruit. My guess is that who you can recruit will be determined by either class or your pre-expansion faction. Even if it is limited by class or faction I think it still has the potential to be interesting by mixing up the companions available for each version of the Outlander, and perhaps throwing some Pub companions with Imp Outlanders or Imp Companions with Pub Outlanders.

ejbsuperbat Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I agree please go to my referal link http://www.swtor.com/r/VCv7MK Ha! You really think that would work? You are breaking then forum rules by the way! Also, I think mixing up companions would be very fun but I doubt bioware would do it. Mabey small changes like trading Lokin for Doc or jeasa for kira. I doubt they will talk to each other as that would be far too many combanations for them to include but Mabey they just speak to you and do not communicate with each outher would be possible. If Mabey you have to do something to get them, (example: save a companions brother / son) then some people would have many but our ships would have to pretty big.... Another think there! Mabey the ability to trade ships? But just imagine how many phantoms you would see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
