JennyFlynn Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah figured as much after seeing the Twitch broadcast thingemajiggy. Question remains is he an addition to a future-returning Khem or is he replacing Khem entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainot-keel Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 crap.... rumors stating they got rid of Khem are sounding more real to me with this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taramayne Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I get the impression he will be a replacement, as several in game items related to Khem such as customizations have had their names changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyFlynn Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Would be a shame if they got rid of Khem entirely. I've never cared for him much personally but I know there's plenty people who do really enjoy this companion. Who cared about choosing him or Zash, liked his companion story line and invested a lot of time/effort into his influence and looks. I suppose he at least remains retrievable via the console?

If you preview Khem's customizations the name there is Akgal Usar, been that way for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh cry me a river. Nothing related to Khem Val has been changed against the players' decisions. They simply decided not to feature it all togheter. Your precious choice (Which doesn't change anything because that thing still uses Khem sound files even if you keep Zash over it) is not overwritten.

Seireeni Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 This is their way to avoid overriding the player choice regarding Khem. If this is true, makes me wonder if they'll do the same with Jaesa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDutchman Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If this is true, makes me wonder if they'll do the same with Jaesa. Probably, although with Jaesa it's possible they could try unifying the two, though I really doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanArgent Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 If, as I was told earlier, they had the VA needed for the one choice at the end of the SI storyline already in to do work for KotFE already, having them record the additional dialog necessary to do Khem as a alliance alert would have been, while not free, not a whole lot more expensive. And worth doing. If they would have had to bring them in just to do it, and had to pay the base rate; then that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 pot... ...kettle. I honestly don't see the two as the same. Bioware is a company selling one thing (choices matter, this is YOUR story) and delivering another (it's all just window dressing along the way as we show you OUR story).

Aeneas_Falco Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 While I'd love to see Khem return, I can understand why the devs are introducing a new Dashade. From a story perspective it is difficult to justify Khem being any Outlander's companion except for the Sith Inquisitor. Khem should even be dead, in fact. Wasn't it stated that the dark side bindings that tie him to the Inquisitor would kill him if he was separated from the Inquisitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you pay a subscription which (Although not as much as cartel market) helps funding them for more content you don't support. And yes, it's their product, their game, their story.
