Master-Nala Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Prehaps something like a: Human Female Force User Human Male Force User Human Female Tech User Human Male Tech User Sith Female Force User etc. Where you can build them like you do a player and give them a name. Said name wouldn't have to unique since it's not used to identify a player. That way folks could create a companion completely from scratch that they like.

Emersyn Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I like that idea - perhaps even a "child" or relative to the current character? Oh hey - its your Son ____ - what does he look like again? And then it could give you a chance to create a companion character. Or droids - build-a-droid workshop - that would be a easier way possibly. Love the idea wonder how possible it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowermanx Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 One of the best ideas i've seen on this forum since its inception. To take it a little further, have a "create a companion kiosk" with all the features that you have when making a player character, so you can pick species, sex, body type ect.

Axcalion Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 That sounds awesome, but unlikely considering Bioware can't do something so advanced I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saito_Hiraga Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I agree with this. Yet I would suggest they work this like this: Just give us a base companion (For example): -Human Male and Female Sith Lord Companion -Human Male and Female Jedi Knight Companion -Human Male and Female Bounty Hunter Companion -Human Male and Female Trooper/Marine Companion Then start releasing some companion customizations that can be used on any of them and that change their species. (Customization) -Cathar Customization -Togruta Customization -Pureblood Customization -Zabrak Customization -Mirialan Customization -Twi'lek Customization And allow us to modify their cosmetic gear yet automatically hide their head slot (or any other slot) if they are using a species customization that wouldn't fit that armor piece. (like Togruta, Kaleesh, Rodian, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more or less what I was hoping for. They could easily charge a lot for this. People could use it to create their alts as companions (an often requested feature). Now that they have standard power sets for the companions, they really can do a lot with companions now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maatsplume Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I like this idea. I also wish you could use color mods for some of the speeders so I can turn their exhausts pink to match my outfit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacity Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 They dont even need to label them "Human female comapanion" "sith male companion" etc. There's already a system in place for changing species. Create a console/interface that uses the character image designer (the console you use to change what your own character looks like). When you use the console, you go through the same process as when you create a new character: 1. Select the type of companion: -Melee Tech -Melee Force -Ranged Tech -Ranged Force 2. Select companion race: -You select either human, or a race that you've unlocked via achievements or the cartel market. Companion must be of a playable character race. 3. Select companion gender: Male or Female 4. Customize companion appearance, from all options available to the species (and additional options that you may have unlocked for that species, like cartel market hairstyles/skin colors/eye colors). They could even add in a section to choose the companion's personality type, for the little voice quips that might play here and there. You could have options like: Sarcastic, Serious, Criminal/Underworld, Military, Evil, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YlliyaXor Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This would be a great addition to the game. Give the companions an advanced class so they can wield the same weapons as a pc of the same class, or let us choose their weapon proficiencies.

Narasil Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 /sign Couldn't be too hard to implement either given they could simply copy character creation, just add droids/creatures and options for them too and bingo. Really REALLY good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
