Markus_Kekero Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I would love for each companion to have more agency and for each of them to get more screen time. like I'd love if they let subscribers get monthly companion updates expanding on a companions story and character. it seems the only companions that matter story wise now are Lana and Theron and I think that's a SAD state of affairs. also maybe reintroduce unique companion abilities but only after a certain level of influence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that then you really have no idea how development of the game works, its not easy or cheap to get story content out. Least of all monthly.

In other words: give PLAYERS the option to personalize/script their own companion-continuation stories & dialogs!

That's a pretty radical. The voice acting and animations wouldn't be able to link up - I mean at that point it's just a text adventure quest? I definitely like voice acting and animations so I think that scripted quests would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWG = Star Wars Galaxies , aka the best MMO ever created ( in my opinion ) p.s. JTL ( Jump To Lightspeed ) was also the best ever too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRBEK Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 There's virtually no chance of constant updates for companion stories. Your best bet would be something repeatable daily, which doesn't change, but which allows you to constantly interact with your companions once their story arcs are over. It's still unlikely that you'd get even this, but this would be much more achievable than a load of regular new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that "BioWare" is just a tentacle of Electronic Arts, and EA decides (or at least strongly influences) their budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
