I'm going to go ahead and go with any time Kaliyo actually survives a fight after reaching level 50.

 

That's about it.

Kaliyo is a great companion, a true original. I'm so pleased BioWare created a companion that is so much more than a goody two shoe cliche. If you're navigating the backstreets and alleyways of the Underworld I can't think of anyone I'd rather have by my side than Kaliyo. She's going to be wise to every dirty trick in the book. Sycophantic companions are so boring. You absolutely want someone that challenges your worldview and assumptions and I'm saying that as a Lightside player. Lightside player with lightside companion = sheep to the slaughter. Lightside/darkside = Now you rock! There is balance to the force! And every Lightside character needs someone to cue them in to the nuances of the shady side^^. I think its great that there are companions that can't be or are difficult to romance. Hitting on the help all the time = questionable practice at best

Go Kaliyo oh and i think they should do there next companion 101 on Elara Dorne because she was born and raised on a sith planet

Looking forward to seeing Kaliyo the day that I roll an IA. A friend of mine enjoyed her very much, she suited his dark side sniper quite well.

:mad:WHY does Ashara where a black body suit with the slave girl outfit?

"Dibs on the head!"

 

LOL! I couldn't believe no one mentioned that one until page 13. First time I heard that she had to take all the mobs herself, because I was in no condition to help. She is quite funny, but I too find her irritating (as some others have said, I don't go for the punk look either). And trust her? Anyone who does deserves their fate. With that said, she was well done, though it was a relief to finally get another companion option once Vector joins. Raina Temple replaced him as soon as available as well.

 

As for next Republic, I vote Elara, though I wouldn't be disappointed if Nadia, Kira, T7, or Corso came up either

For Imperial, I vote Raina Temple, though Vette, Mako, Vector, Quinn, and Jaesa would be cool too.

Nadia from the consular story please! She is probably the most realistic padawan and companion out of all of them. She is so unsure if she is doing things right and justs wants to please her masters. I love her please do her!!!!!! :) :D

Kaliyo was by far my favourite of all the companions. I had her out for almost every planet. You have to love her Gun Ho attitude. She was also the first of all the companions I maxed out.

I sorta like Kaliyo, she's got a certain depth to her. But I'd like to echo some of the posters above: forcing companions into certain roles ties our hands a little. My Operative is a healer and once Vector joined, my life became a lot more comfortable: we killed everything that much faster. Similarly with the Sorcerer: I got rid of Khem Val at the first opportunity (I, unlike many others, hate him anyway so no huge loss but still).

 

And with my Juggernaut I simply couldn't take Jaesa to the final fight because I wouldn't have stood a chance without Quinn. Even though, from a story aspect, it makes ZERO sense that Quinn would even be there. He's just an Imperial grunt, he's got no place in there (that fight really should have been tuned for solo, as in without a companion).

 

My vote for the next companion goes for either Jaesa or Guss Tuno. Guss is probably the funniest companion in the game.

Come on, it's been more then a week. Are we going to get a second entry for the Companions 101 blog?

My first char roll was an agent, After having experienced a few playthroughs with some other companions, Kaliyo is by far the most complex companion (at least on the empire side) That said she is also by far the most interesting as far as story lines go. I also found that on the empire side shes really the only one with much of a sense of humor. (jokes sarcasm etc actually gain points) mako on the other hand is not overly fond of sarcasm I get - points every time I try to joke with her.

 

Favorite kaliyo moment: I hadnt been very far into companion dialogue when I used the command key to send her to tank world boss on dromund kass first time ever I heard her yell "Dibs on the head!" I think I did actually laugh out loud. that was funny

 

for your next 101 can Mako be the subject?

gus tunno, thats who i want to know about. my favorite mon calmari. also, if i make a female cathar smuggler will gus be a romantic option? i think it would be totally quirky and hilarious for an aggressive cat girl to pursue a nervous fish man.

I'm just waiting for Andryah to come on here and say that Kaliyo is her favorite character.

 

Elara Dorne or M1-4X

I'm just waiting for Andryah to come on here and say that Kaliyo is her favorite character.

 

 

Then when they spotlight another character, Andryah will say that is her favorite. Then when BW does the third one, suddenly that becomes the favorite.

Jeez... Two weeks since we got the first blog, and not a peep from BW. What happened to this being a "Weekly" blog?

I was really interested in this blog. Do you know when we're going to see the next update?

Haha. I didn't realise this was meant to be a weekly thing!

 

I guess this blog shared the same fate as the 'new and improved community staff involvement'.

Kaliyo has a quite busy past but I don't like her personality. I can't trust her. So far (I have not unlocked Scorpio yet). my favorite Agent companion is Ensign Raina Temple.

I would love to read an in-depth article on Aric Jorgan!

Let's just say... SCORPIO has a rather alien personality. Makes for a great tanker though. Raina is probably the one who has the most personality, though that doesn't mean she has anything extreme about her. She's just the one that feels most real. Could be a collegue of yours in real life, and she wouldn't be weird or stand out in any particular way.

Dibs on the head!!!! >

Please bring back the ability to kill Kaliyo.

I want to kill her so very badly.

Or barring that make it so we can throw a shock collar on her or inject her with IX Serum and tell her to clean the ship's toilet with her bald head.

I can say I didn't care for Kaliyo very much. I liked her as a fighting partner, but as a character she's rather meh and as a romantic interest, well let's just say she just isn't what I imagine anyone would be looking for.

Kaliyo is still my favorite companion in the game.
