IanArgent Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not being able to customize the new KotFE companions is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthaer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I like the companion system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashtardly Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've heard rumours from at least two posters that companions used to be all-role-capable, and they then fixed the roles to one per companion (back then, tanks were ranged and melee, as were dps), and now they brought back the all-roles functionality, does any player from the beginning know if this is true or not? I can't speak to beta test or pre-launch but at launch the companions always had a singular role. If you needed a tank you pulled out X and if you needed DPS, you pulled out Y or Z and heals you pulled out A. Now, the game for the most part wasn't so difficult that you HAD to pick and choose specific companions all the time - I could keep out a favorite (which might be DPS, e.g., Jaessa, and on rare occasions when I had no choice, pull out Malavi the traitor to heal me). At least now, I can have Jaessa heal or DPS so I don't have to pull out Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashtardly Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not being able to customize the new KotFE companions is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad decision I ran a test using the item "preview" feature. I was able to preview Lana with the Exarch armor chest piece (drops from Alderaan SF Heroic 2+) but when previewing the relaxed uniform chest piece I only saw two small patches on her chest. Might be a modelling issue or a coding issue. My personal suspicion is that it's some technical limitation that they needed to put in place for the new KoFTE cut scenes. I have to agree that it's a terrible decision (either to not to allow the customization or to decide NOT to fix the "bug" that prevents them from being customized).

It's probably a tech reason to do with the new cutscenes. I suspect they are mostly/entirely pre-rendered save for the player.. Cuts down on glitches, but...
