I don't want to just use his holocomunicator. I want to actually do his mission.

So will those who already paid to get Nico still get him?

I just had the same problem....bought the box, and now don't have any mission.

I believe they are restricted to specific classes who they were original companions for.

All your personal preference and what you think your character would do. I only played one class through KOTFE+, which I use as my main character and such. He is Twi'lek Consular who decided to stay independent. He found a new way to approach the force and has built this new home for countless people from many walks of life. There is no reason for him to submit to another political entity. He is no longer a Jedi, and he remembers Saresh and her corrupt ways. He wants nothing to do with it- and he obviously doesn't want to join the Sith Empire. He has people from both walks of life that he now leads, and he leads them as an independent entity.

I just recruited him- it is good to have him back. Now just to wait for Zenith. I was surprised to see Zebular and not Holiday though. I wonder if they couldn't get her voice actor back?

We didn't actually physically see her, but even though I don't have her as a companion, she was talking in the comms. Theron, Tau, Lana and her are the people I remember talking directly.

I get any and all companions I can possibly get. They just make the alliance seem larger and more lively. You get random cameos from them during the stories. While you may be off with a certain person, one may talk to you over the comms or be referenced aiding you in some way. Just because some companions may be prominent and highlighted in the story doesn't mean other companions are just irrelevant. You're a faction with many moving pieces. In the latest patch, 6.0 that happened a lot. Jorgan, Shae Vizla, and Gault are the ones off the top of my head. They all make these small cameos that just make the world seem more alive. You never know when one may show up- especially since many of these companions are killable. Or for Shae, a limited time companion(which I don't understand since she is seemingly a prominent figure). Anyway, ya. I disagree very much. I have done a lot in order to get any possible companion.

In my Game, Shae Vizla had a cameo and aided in the Corellia battle. I am still sad she is stuck behind a limited time sub companion or whatever since she seems to be pretty prominent and is reappearing.

I like collecting them. That sounds weird, but on my main I am gaining as many companions as humanly possible just to experience the game with them all. Companions also don't have to be a main focal point, they make cameos and can contribute tot he story through small appearances. Shae Vizla(Who not everyone can even get) appears in Onslaught, alongside Gault making a cameo. Jorgan is mentioned. Theron, a killable character, is surprisingly prominent throughout the patch. It just makes the alliance feels larger. Seeing cameos or hearing names of different members, even if they are not with you aiding you in that specific moment.

Scourge, Jakkaro and Kira are not showing up as decoration options in my strongholds? Is this a bug or?

This is my first time actively playing during new content releases, so it was interesting going into it blind. For those who played, you will know we received three companions, all of which are returning characters. Kira and Scourge returned, though I play only a consular atm- so doesn't impact me much. While I would love to have them, it sounds like both will likely leave after this storyline(if we read their little interaction thing, it seems like it). I am guessing only their class PC will be able to keep them. Do you guys think we will be able to permanently keep those two if we are not a Jedi Knight? Then we also get Jakarro, a returning character that was previously not a companion or anything. We just interacted with the story and they aided us. I would LOVEEEEE to see more of this- I want to see the consular's original gathered army join him. Hollow Voice for example and his people. I am sure other classes have similar characters throughout their campaigns as well. and other than that...there is Zenith since we are allegedly getting Tharan Cedrax's alert next update. Don't know the exact purpose I made this thread, but I was just curious on other peoples thoughts on the situation. Whether we'd get to keep them since recent additions have only returned for their specific class. Also, my Jakarro's interactions is just a check mark and no descriptions. Does anyone else see that?

I support this completely. A Twi'lek was my first character and currently my main character. I would love to have some of his extended family have some purple skin tones! I hope this happens at some point.

I have finally finished a majority of the game on my Jedi Consular. While I do not know about other classes yet, I know that there are many characters, both in the class story and just general story, that I would LOVE to reappear and join the Eternal Alliance as new companions. I hope we get to see these at some point to just revisit their story, or perhaps get a few unique companions. I missed Master Ranos, the Jedi Chiss, which to me is one of the most unique and interesting combinations. Gaden-Ko | This Voss I enjoyed having around during my class story. He would be our first voss companion...and on top of that, he is a mystic. I don't know any specific ideas on how or why he would join up with us. I know DS Consulars end up killing him, but for everyone else, I think it would be cool to see him return. Hallow Voice | This guy I absolutely love. I don't know why to be honest. Having an Esh-ka companion, in general, would be great, even if not this returning character. I would absolutely recruit Hallow Voice and the Eshka into my Eternal Alliance. On top of returning characters, seeing some more unique combinations like Master Ranos would be interesting. I can't think of any off the top of my head. I am planning to play through other classes soon, but I am sure there are many more characters that would be wonderful to have reappeared. Do you guys think there is a chance for these older characters to become relevant again? I know there probably is a million threads involving companions and wanting certain ones, but I am bored while waiting for something so I decided to write this up.
