I don't buy the "this is the EU" argument. On Tython there is a side quest about two Jedi padawins. Letting their love remain a secret is a dark side choice. Exposing them is a light side choice. Clearly in this game a Jedi in love is not allowed and is a dark side decision.
Nearly 27,000 views on this thread and still no comment from Bioware about the issue. A simple acknowledgement that they are aware of the issue is all I am looking for. A "We're looking into it" or "We are aware and will address in a future patch".
Regardless of everything, its still a bug that the codex says he can use vibroswords when he in fact cannot use them... would it take that much effort to fix?
Thanks for the suggestion Tynis. I think people are coming here because they are looking to get him gear from commendations or other sources to upgrade him more quickly. The gear I am getting for him from quests is many levels below him right now.
Your wrong Ardwan. Using STR gear improves his stats just as much as AIM gear does. Either the companion is not working as designed or they need to update the help for him such as the codex and the hover over his stats.
