Jnaathra Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So it looks like this thing is pretty straight forward and rather basic. It opens using the classic KOTOR menu and gives you two choices. One is to get your companions back now and two is to wait for them to show up in the story. So if you recruit them now you effectively cheat yourself out of content later. Just a word of warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanelise Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I am new to the game and am missing a companion (Torian Cadera). All others are there. I am 100% PRE-expansion tho. Is this a way to get my companion to show up? Would it work for me if Im pre-content? And if so, where is this terminal located at? My main BH is only lvl 35 and has been missing Torian since the start. I started playing the Sun before the early access patch went live and "got" Torian I think a day or so later. He shows up when I do intercom missions on my ship so he is def part of my team. But he wont show up in my crew or companion windows and I have no way to call him which I'd really like to do as I'd much rather tour the galaxy with him than any other companion. I was hoping this new patch would return him to me but it did not. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusXY Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Does it say anything about quests/story skipped? If it just gives them to use them like dummys that would be ok. Just to use your favorite companion for doing heroics and what ever. It would be a huge issues though if you lose quests/story in further expanded content.

Tigorus Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Personally I just assumed this would work like Nicco in that I can "Cheat" and use him early than his story unlock simply replaces the "Cheat" version and life goes on. I would love confirmation on this. I REALLY want Kira back on my Knight and Elara on my Trooper but I don't want to risk losing Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWagner Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'd assume, if its like others, that you still get the story for the companion. You just cannot use them in the story until that point, and at that point, your existing one will be replaced by story mode companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azareya Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I read on dulfy that if you summon Nico Okarr (using the early access thingie - which I did..) you lose you on a secret achievement later on when you get him in the story .. They didn't mention this.. I hope there's a warning in the terminal for most players. Edited October 27, 2015 by Azareya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well, you still get your companions stories if you choose to get your companions back now so... <shrug> I chose not to get them back because I want to see where the story goes. BUT, I do appreciate the option to get them back. That is what was needed. On certain toons, I will get them all back immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiesu Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) When I was getting my bro in crime out of the terminal it gave me a prompt saying "Taking companion now will not impact your story progression", so I'm guessing they will just vanish when their time in the story comes, and meanwhile you get to summon them wherever apart from story areas.

Mahrdol Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) They should allow you to select specific companions so you don't ruin story elements later for all of your companions. Edited October 27, 2015 by Mahrdol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 They should allow you to select specific companions so you don't ruin story elements later for all of your companions. They do. My Knight already had T-7 from the story and I could pick Kira, Doc or Scourge individually. No Rusk though. Said others may turn up later. No big loss there, I never use Rusk so don't mind waiting for him, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnaathra Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I've decided that I won't be taking any at all out until I know for sure how this impacts later events. Between those I earned in KOTFE. Those that were given to me free. Those earned post 65 in Alliance and Star Fortress content... I have months of rep grinding to do. I can wait.

Rafaman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This is beginning to be an issue for me, between glitches and uncertainty, I don't know if I can even trust to try the companion terminal. It works. I haven't used it but others have. But, I won't do it. Suddenly, the story is too important. I sat in front of the terminal for 20 mins trying to decide and the indecision showed me I cared too much about the story to suddenly have all of my companions back. I'll just wait to see how it shakes out. So far, I'm quite satisfied the way companions are being handled in KoTFE. And, I have this awesome battle pet. That was genius! Looking forward to finding the rest of my companions through the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to finding the rest of my companions through the story. Did the same thing but it only took me 5 seconds to decide. It's much more interesting and immersive this way and I can wait. IMO the wait is worth the extra bliss when I meet and recruit them naturally in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno_Tarshil Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The terminal told you that they are canonically still away from you for story reasons and grabbing them back wouldn't have an impact on that story, so go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
