  1. The post above yours literally references multiple Zakuulan characters. I didn't say their names but I meant Senya, Arcann, and Koth. I've advocated throughout this thread having all three of them get something in regard to the plot and there was at least one other person doing the same. But if anyone had to get cut - Senya isn't a romance option and doesn't have the same connections that would make sense for using Koth.
  2. I think it feels kind of worse with Koth because there are some obvious connections (the Gravestone, the villain's motivation) and he's the only Knights era/universal LI to not make an appearance. The equally killable Arcann got to show up but Koth didn't. Plus, it was a big missed opportunity to have the Zakuulan characters involved with the last story set in the Knights era of things.
  3. It's only a paradox if he's alive and dead in the same character's story. Otherwise it follows on logically. Character killed Koth > Koth does not appear. Character didn't kill Koth > Koth appears. He can't be super important and irreplaceable in the plot but there's (theoretically) room between "plot revolves around this character" and "this character has been written out entirely."
  4. Having long, in depth stories, sure. But at this rate we may as well all kill all the companions and romance Lana because it's the only way worth playing. In terms of narrative, saving a companion is the same as killing them. I mean, why even make it a choice at this stage? If they can't ever use that companion again there's no reason to make a decision for them. This. Why even bother caring about any of the characters besides Theron and Lana? New, old, they all get treated like they don't exist after a certain point. Part of our investment in the story is our investment in the characters and it's not worth caring with the way things are going.
  5. I really miss companion conversations. There's definitely a limit to what they can do with their resources but some tiny acknowledgement would be nice. I wish they'd used Koth and Senya (and even a little more Arcann would be nice) in the last story arc since it's the last time Zakuul will be relevant. Instead we get more Theron and Lana. Having Koth, Jorgan, Kaliyo, Torian, or Vette as an LI was a totally great experience. Much acknowledgement. Edit: In all fairness, KotET did give us a small something to acknowledge the characters we saved. But this last arc was pretty much the same thing either way.
  6. Yeah, the true source of my bitterness. Saving characters is pointless. People who want to kill them get the satisfaction of killing them and people who don't want to... don't have their Companions & Contacts entry moved to a different section?
  7. I'm not sure the actual healing will be useful to Felix. It wasn't to the president of Balmorra. Mundane, non-Forcey or other brain bending things may make take it off the table (there's a Jedi on Alderaan who prevents a man from having his mind taken by the Killiks but that's resisting an outside force too). Therapy is probably the best bet unless they're trying to do something with the holocron. I kind of wonder if the Voss may be able to help with that. Would it be seen kind of like a poison that could be removed with sufficient strength? Oof, same. I wish Arcann had a real redemption story and not a last minute alignment change. It's entirely possible they didn't know where he was. Or, awful as it is, didn't want to antagonize Arcann and the Eternal Fleet by staging a rescue for one soldier. There was probably potential for significant loss of life beyond him if the Republic tried anything. There's a lot more to it than just not rescuing him but I can totally see how he'd grasp for something to blame for what happened to him. Especially when he felt so abandoned. No worries. ^^ I just can't bring myself to take the original versions of a lot of my characters through the Knights stuff. My Felix romance Consular is a remake. I'm torn between "literally any new content for favorite characters" and "they just aren't part of this story" a lot. I'm glad you understand. I'm sorry if I came off as angry. ^^ More Felix is always good! If I don't expect anything, I can't be disappointed, right? Still there's always a tiny bit of hope that there will be something more.
  8. I'm skeptical but willing to wait and see how 6.0 goes. I kind of hope we don't get new companions. We have about a million of them right now. Not that any of them can be used for much of anything in the narrative, being killable. The "kill 'em all" approach is really disheartening if you don't want to kill them all.
  9. I doubt it was the VA being busy. Lana and Theron are the only important characters. It's been that way and will continue that way.
  10. If you back a page there are two mentions of Jedi healing/the Voss being a solution and probably more before that. Suggesting that Felix might not recover brought on a few responses of "but space magic!" It would be interesting to see how he copes with the Alliance collapsing. I hope he can come around from his hatred of the Republic too. For my light side Consular, they aren't perfect but they are better than the Sith Empire. It will hurt to choose them with Felix so angry though. I don't think it's a rational response on his part but trauma does things to you. Oh no, I'm not unimaginative or unable to visual things. I use the canon as a jumping off point for all kinds of things I like to imagine but know we'll never see in canon. I mean, in my favorite version of events this never happens because my Consular who romances Felix isn't the Outlander and they were never separated. I'm not sure how to make myself clearer though. This is Felix's canon 'goodbye' as it were. I wish BioWare had seen fit to give him more than severe PTSD. It's not the end of Felix's story for the players, we'll imagine and discuss and write all kinds of outcomes, but it feels kind of bad that this is his final note in game.
  11. Yeah, I was joking. ^^ I'm just pointing out that there's really not a magic, instant fix for Felix. He has support so recovery is a good possibility. But sometimes even with support, people don't get better. So while I am very much in favor of recovery, I don't see it as the only possible outcome. I do expect the once-an-expansion romance letter (that will address the current events of the story with maybe a small reference to his personal stuff) and maybe him loitering in the background of a scene or two. But this will be the last actual interaction/conversation with the character.
  12. I kind of feel like BioWare sees killing Koth as objectively the right choice. So for those of us who made the wrong choice, this is just how things are gonna be from now on.
  13. This has gotten away from me. My point really isn't that people shouldn't imagine that Felix will recover in time and things will be happy. I think most of us will imagine things go that way! My point is that the final canon, in-game interaction with a beloved character leaves his story on such a sad note. For me, it's a disappointing way to end his story in canon.
  14. You'll have to remind me of who that was. I know in the first part we see the Consular curing people with an outside influence on their minds. In the second act, the Consular fails to heal the president of Balmorra because his trauma wasn't related to outside influences. The third act has the Voss curing physical wounds by taking strength from the Consular. They also realign Arcann's alignment but that's not really healing a mundane form of trauma. Unless Felix goes dark side monster, it doesn't seem like it will be helpful.
  15. Still an issue after 5.9. I'd like to play my cathar again one day, please. https://imgur.com/a/JW7XWdf
