I was okay with his mannerisms and VA and all (and I loved having a pocket healer), but I could see how someone would find him really annoying. And then not only does the little poo poo betray me to Darth Baras, he then turns around and tries to romance me right after. I shut him right down on that, and if they had kept the thing from beta where you could permanently kill companions, I would have chucked him out the airlock and learned to let Pierce tank for me. "I hope we can still be friends after this."

I would honestly end up murdering at least two companions from every character, were it an option. Haha what am I saying, no I wouldn't, it'd probably stop me from getting their +10 presence and I need all the stats.

I'd probably launch Kaliyo, SCORPIO, Skadge, Quinn, Broonmark, Tanno Vik, Akaavi, and oh... every Consular companion. I know it's the Goon thing to love the consular, but holy poo poo their companions all suck and I wish affection losses weren't nerfed to hell so I could get to -10000 with all of them.

Before I knew he was a companion I wanted to murder the poo poo out of Languss Tuno for being both a total dickwad lying to me, and also naming himself a horrible pun. Now I actually use him and he's OK but god drat I was so pissed off for weeks.

Tharan is great if you don't help him with his symposium thing. He learns a lesson. Nadia isn't too bad if you aren't a Male. Zenith is kinda there. I kinda want to see what happens if you just encourage him to be an rear end when running for office. I see how you could find them bland and inoffensive. But to actively hate them is weird.

He learns a lesson. Seconding the Tharan bit, if you use your Jedi status to pull strings for him he stays a douche, but if you make him do the work himself he becomes a not-douchey character. Zenith is probably the character with the most tenuous reason to be on your ship, even if it does make sense. I get the feeling he was mostly put in so that DS dick Consulars would have someone to buddy-buddy with.

But all of the other ones just evoke no emotional reactions (except shame for Tharan) at all. At least Kaliyo made me laugh once or twice. They're just there, and I'd rather they not be there because they are all terrible. If all I can feel about a companion's existence is 'nothing' then why would I want them around. Their stories are not interesting, their conversations are not interesting, nothing about them is interesting. I'd rather have characters I actively hate exist (Broonmark, Akaavi, Skadge) because they at least let me be a dick to them and be entertained, but bland boring shameful ones just literally invoke nothing.

Aw I really like Felix Iresso. He's a chill guy who's had some pretty bad luck. He's not the most exciting character but I liked having him around. Tanno Vik (Trooper) would have never gotten to set foot on my ship if I'd have had a say. Neither would Xalek (Inquisitor) No, you don't get to wait until someone else does all the hard work and then stab him in the back right in front of me and take his homework and hand it to me and THEN become my Padawan. Zenith should have stayed on Balmorra. I have nothing against him, it's just a big wtf that he ever even came with you. Same for Sgt. Rusk. No idea why he's on my ship. I'm still not a fan of Qyzen. And even though Theran does get some decent development, I'm still meh about him and his hologirlfriend. I started out hating Khem Val but as the Iniquisitor storyline progressed and I've gone through his dialog, I like Khem more and more. Favorites would be Aric Jorgan, Elara Dorne, M1-4X, (Trooper), Iresso (Consular), Kira and Doc (Knight), Andronikos Revel, Talos and Ashara (Inquisitor). I've only gotten two of the Agent companions so far and they're both okay. Annakie fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jul 10, 2013 |

Skadge is no different than all the hired muscle losers you regularly waste on missions. Taking him on as a companion (esp as a Light V BH) makes no sense. Mako really should have shut that one down. Plus he looks like a big pile of mucous. Space thug loogie. Get in the airlock.

And that voice I can see how her personality could clash with people, but I like it. Homicidal droids are the best droids. I just wish she could use the Cathar Warstaff. Or hell, double-bladed lightsabers.

Annakie posted:I'm still not a fan of Qyzen. And even though Theran does get some decent development, I'm still meh about him and his hologirlfriend. Qyzen would be without a doubt my favorite companion so far. He starts off pretty simple. MY POINTS, and "Why would you do that?!" to the Consulars first couple actions on Tython, so I can see why people dislike him. But his first little arc is proving he's not an rear end in a top hat, it's just his code. He just wants you to teach people to be strong on their own, rather then go do everything for them. And there's something satisfying about a character in a game telling me that when I give my holo to random civvies and tell them I'll come at any call, that I'm a horrible person because THAT'S A LIE. The only time he breaks this is for Nalen, but that's because he is personally angry at the guy for stealing his points. So then you get to learn about the shikyo-yagu, the ancient rite of passage for Trandoshens. The coolest thing about this to me was not only learning more about the culture of a race that no other bit of Star Wars talks about, but realizing that the entire LS Consular Act 1 is a shikyo-yagu for the PC. You take the vile toxins inside yourself, and make yourself weaker, then fight off a great threat at your weakest, proving you are worthy of your "clan". It really helped connect me and Qyzen as space bros, especially since we'd basically duoed Act 1 as healer/tank with no thought of Tharan. So finally you get to his act 3 arc, the traitor. And during this, you get to finally point out that's he's old as gently caress now, and it's time for him to train new Trandos. That the decline of his race is because he's so busy hunting, all the greasy politician type Trandos are the ones training young hunters. And you make him realize that hey, maybe it's time to settle down after he's done serving the Herald. He just had a solid arc to me, from beginning to end. I also just loved the little things about his arc, talking about taking on a being of pure sith energy and beating it while missing an arm, then lamenting the lost points because it fell into the swamps. Or his Rancor fight story, where he went to hunt a young one to prove himself to a mate, got caught unarmed pissing by an elder rancor and killed it with it's own tooth. Or even stuff like the Trando pal you meet, and his "AHA, I TRICKED THEM BY BRINGING YOU INTO THEIR TRAP! I NEVER MENTIONED THE JEDI ". Or him giving my Consular top class Wookie Pelt from a hard kill to use to seal the deal with Iresso, because that's how things work in Trando culture.The only stickler point I could imagine is the wookie killing, but he's a loving Trando, and your job is supposed to be understanding of other cultures, not shunning. And it's not like he went and hunted the women and children, he only kills them in the Shadowlands, where they would be hunting him back, because he's full of old manness. He's just this really old cantankerous racist old man who exists entirely to point out how stupid traditional RPG tropes are, and make sure you stay on the honorable path. And I love him for it.

They should have a legacy ability like that Stampede move Hunters in WoW have, where for 30 seconds all of your companions come out and attack a guy. Preferably in a cartoon cloud with random limbs popping out.

So since this Sage is the first character I've gotten to the level cap, gearing question: How quickly can you move on to Basic+ stuff? Should I get myself a full set of Makeb mods first, or would it be more efficient to spend those comms on mods for my companions in the expectation that I'd move on to better ones pretty quickly? e: Also I tried respecing to Sage DPS but ugh, it just doesn't click for me. I just went back to Disruption/Project/Weaken Mind/Forcequake spam with a healing build.
