Fixed that for ya!
Companions are a big part of the reason I don't enjoy this game. Only a couple of them are remotely fun to have around. Namely Vette, Dark Jaesa, Scorpio and 4X. The fact that you rely so completely on them for crafting and soloing/leveling is horrible. This game should be about my character's story, not my character and some ******* that was forced on me. I could understand as a story that you're paired up with someone you don't want to have around, but *every* story? Come on. It makes every character I've leveled feel like a bad buddy cop movie where I'm the guy who doesn't *want* a partner.
