JediQuaker Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It would be interesting if we could use our alts - or more exactly, the image of our alts - as companions. Given that the companions use the same body types and can wear the same armor as our characters, it shouldn't be too hard to make a blank companion that we could overlay an alt's form onto. I'd love to be able to use my female Gunslinger (for example) as the healing companion for my male GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshaga Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I'd really love that as i HD my fem smuggler as my male smuggler's co-pilot and the ship's mechanic. I guess i could use one of Vette's customization option, but the one with the right skin tone doesn't have the right face, markings and eye colours And well with that option, i could take a lot of screenies with the 2 of them together, even on Ord Mantell.

DarkGruffalo Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I really like this idea, it would be great. Not sure they'd ever do it. But would definately use it if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Guild Wars 1 called a closely related feature "Mercenary Heroes". Heroes were a lot like companions, except you could use more of them at a time (instead of using Henchmen NPCs). Mercenary Heroes were created in exactly the manner described as visual clones of your max-level characters, although changing their appearance (other than their weapon) involved a bit of hand-waving trickery. Nice feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice feature. It's GW that reminded me of this. In the later years of GW I had an entire 8 man group made up of clones of my alts. If I recall, changing their appearance simply involved talking to some NPC. The clones' appearance didn't change when you changed the alt's appearance. In the case of SWTOR I would assume that a "clone" companion would have the looks (hairstyle, makeup, etc), and wear the outfit, that they had when you cloned them. To change the clones appearance, you have to change the alt's appearance and then re-clone them. Edited December 1, 2019 by JediQuaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Councilor: I sense this one is broken...trough the force....for Smoochie she is lacking.. Player: Sorry tomatoe, BW hasn't fixed the Lana Smoochie bug yet *Player Spot both the Captain of Havoc Squad and the Smuggler huddled together in the corner* Player: How about one of you ? huh ? *Nudge Nudge* Great Adventure...you get to play sidekick for once ? Commander Shepard: *MEOW MEOW MEOW ! MEOW MEOW MOEOOOOOW!** (Translated from Cathar: Always up for gunning some Imps! Ready and Loaded Commander!) *Garza: That one is under house arrest until I say so !* Commander Shepard: *Hiss* MEOW! Smuggler: Don't look at meh, you can't afford me! Player: damn hutt, rising the pricing everywhere they go! *Player turn back toward where the Sorc are in a showdown, two of them are at each others throat and the third one is cheering and screaming murder * Sorc 1: Hands off slave!!! You regret for touching this skirt! It cost more then your freedom does! Sorc2: You are only wearing the chest armor! Cheapskate! Can't you afford the whole set ?? Sorc 3: YES! KILL HER! BURN HER!!! SLAUGHTER EACH OTHERS!!!!! *Player look toward the rest of the team left, of the few remaining only the Bounty Hunter she could spot.* Player: Wanna join me to test this new toy of BW ?

Player: Where is the Agent anyway? Don't see her around ? BH: That info require a contract.... Player: Urgh nvm . **Player return against their wills to the 3 fighting Sorc, still at it .
