Naholen Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I just hope they are going to do a better job than they did with Malavai. Was very disappointed with that. Most of the other companions we got to do chapters with. I hope Vector's alliance alert is not going to be like a Nico Okarr one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should be specific with what we didn't like about the Quinn reunion so they don't do the same thing for Vector, or anyone else. 40 minutes just to get to him No appearance customization, or "who is that dude?" Walk in and ignore him while Elara drones on Speak one line to him Leave him at the base Another 40 minutes of stuff with another companion and hearing nothing from him again if you weren't a warrior Seeing him MORE if you chose Republic! Unable to break it off with Theron, game makes you call out your love for him Getting knocked out and waking up to LANA!!!!!!!! Ignoring him some more to talk to usual suspects Finally, 1 minute reunion, smoochy stuff yadda yadda He LEAVES, more Lana Theron... the end, without him. Not. Repeatable. Did I miss anything? BW, everything you did right there, don't do it with Vector. Edited September 29, 2017 by grania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuchessKristania Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm hoping the Alliance Alert isn't a horrible grindfest. I mean, I'll do it, Vector is worth it, but I'd rather just grab him and snuggle him. I really wish they'd put up an update about 5.5 or confirm some companion returns. Aside from nerf alerts we aren't getting information these days. Nerf the hell out of my sniper, just give me my Vector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAkemi Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Attend a Killik party with Vector and dance the night away... just remember to leave before you become a Joiner too Wait, didn't that happen in his companion arc? If so, I want to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Well I hope he's not just an alliance alert, but then again (minus the voice issue) some of those have been treated better than the ones that came back in the main story. Are we still getting alliance alerts, even? I feel silly asking but, when was the last time we got one of those? Attend a Killik party with Vector and dance the night away... just remember to leave before you become a Joiner too Wait, didn't that happen in his companion arc? If so, I want to do it again. Sounds good to me, everything doesn't have to be doom and gloom, does it? What if he's just sitting in a cave somewhere with a big bushy beard, dropping ac...er adrenals and communing with the hive? And it's just a matter of flying over there, picking him up and having a makeover montage? Maybe just this one reunion could be easy! And soon, preferably..

I was able to envision that scenario, entirely too easily lol. I hope they don't resort to those crappy alliance alerts to return love interests, that would suck. They need to be fully voiced and decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingkittie Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hang on a sec, let me look at my other Vector. Ok I think your first theory was correct. Both my Vectors are dressed similarly (not exactly the same) and both Vector holos are similar and not exactly the same. Even though I really liked your possible Vector story, like maybe he was off on some vision quest on Hoth and wasn't connected to the hive anymore! Ok ok. yeah it's just a wardrobe malfunction but it does mean they've been fiddling with him recently, right? And by fiddling of course I mean screwing him up lol. I actually hope that his return will be that he is no longer a joiner. I hope he has normal eyes and doesn't talk in collective speech anymore. I hope that he decided to take Lokin's advice and become de-bugged. That was the one thing I didn't like about his romance. My first flirt he wanted to rub elbows....

My first flirt he wanted to rub elbows.... My Chiss sniper would definitely freak out if her husband suddenly had those creepy white eyes with circles in the middle They could give players a choice of de-Joining him (I wouldn't do that personally), instead of forcing it. It just... wouldn't be Vector and his charm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact nothing bothered me about him at all and I thought it was cute that he wanted to rub elbows lol. But maybe they'll give people a choice.

BlueShiftRecall Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I really want to look forward to him coming back but at the same time I have this nagging voice telling me to lower my expectations especially after Quinn/Elara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzsi Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I really hope they dont do guture returns as alerts, seems a bit lame -- wont we miss out on stuff like romanced Theron getting jealous of a returning former LI if its an alert? Not that I did this to Vector but to Iresso I did. Be nice if make-ups, break-ups, chosing between two etc was all handled with more care and attention to be full little stories within themselves.

DuchessKristania Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think my agent would be sad if Vector was unjoined. He makes it pretty clear that he's happy and content with being a Joiner. She'll always love him, but Vector is wonderful just the way he is. My agent loves and respects everything about him, even the Joiner aspects of his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I'd like him just as much either way. It would be fun to get to know his human self a little more with the ability to switch back and forth or something, but I don't really get things I want in this game, so I'll just be happy to get him back at all. Assuming they handle everything the opposite of how they handled Quinn. Was Quinn's reunion so bland because of their change of companion return philosophy (as is being discussed in another thread) and not so much because they thought everyone just wanted him to die? I mean Elara's reunion must have been pretty blah too, not that I cared enough to watch it. I've had to patiently play through Kaliyo's chapter over and over and over and over. The rest of the LIs deserve as much as Kaliyo got, after all. Certainly Vector does. What gives, make everyone sit through the really long first companion chapters and then screw them over with their own inferior reunions. Be nice to get those obsidian eyes for my SW. I'd use it. I don't know if I'd rp as a joiner but it looks cool so I'd come up with some kind of explanation for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaliyo got a whole chapter plus a few smaller scenes in later on chapters...Kaliyo...out of all the companions they decided to give time to it was her. They could have at least with Iokath allowed us to run around with Quinn/Elara instead of Theron, a bit like in the Gault chapter where if we romanced Vette she came with us instead of him after we find her. Are they just going to decide from now on who the more popular romances are and give them more time and leave others in the dust? I hope not but I can see it happening which concerns me because some of my fav romances from the original stories are ones that aren't overly "popular."

I hate Kailyo's guts and I always resented how she got so much time, her own chapter and story and you had to run content with her. I wanted that for Quinn...and I'd like it for Vector too. I'm disgusted that they would give that horrible witch so much air time. Same with Jorgan, not a fan of his either and he seemed to get a lot of time too. I wouldn't be so salty if the ones I enjoy had gotten lots of nice quality screen time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dev's after KOTFE have left themselves in a no-win situation. When we played KOTFE and some of the romanced companions returned they set the standard for what to expected with returning romanced companions, anything less then this now and people will complain (and rightfully so I believe!). This leaves us in this current situation, we expect for new returning romanced companions to get what Kaliyo/Jorgan/Torian etc: got and that is not what we're getting, we're getting much, much less.

I don't know if this is true for anyone else, much less a majority of players, but I for one care a heck of a lot more about companion returns than I do about whatever nonsense is going on in the main story. I'd like to be a little more interested and invested in it, but I just can't with this companion debacle going on for so long. Not speaking for anyone else, but whenever they're concentrating on zakuul/alliance/iokath/etc stuff, it feels like my time is being wasted. Talk about painting oneself into a corner. I know they can't very well abandon the main story and concentrate on companions for the next two years, but on the other hand, I don't give a flying rat about the alliance. I wouldn't be so salty if the ones I enjoy had gotten lots of nice quality screen time as well. I know you don't like Aric, lol thats ok But once he came back for my trooper, in a good, satisfying, dramatic, romantic way, it was like I breathed a sigh of relief. It was like, "ok. Now that that's out of the way~~~" Edited October 1, 2017 by grania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegyrfae Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'm disappointed but I'm trying to see a bright side in this. Perhaps they aren't bringing Vector back now because they really want to give him a meaningful return through the story as I suspect will be Temple's case. Still, it sucks to see the bug being ignored again. Didn't know romancing Vector would be as stressful as it was Solas. :( btw: thanks for creating this thread, it's nice to see that Vector is loved by the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
