Gee, and here I am putting the Darth Jadus / Cobra Commander helmets on ALL my companions, and myself...

I suppose you do have a point though OP, some of those helms are horrid. It is a good thing that companions can use orange gear. I just bought Kaliyo a full set and since I am a cybertech, I change out the mods every now and then.

I'm honestly surprised this isn't an option. I don't want a heavy armor helmet hidding Akaavi's beautiful face.

I agree 100%, make it possible to hide companions head slott!

I've actually walked around with my companions head slotts in the bag for a very long time because of this.

Another thing one should implement is making it possible to keep the hood down, but if I am allowed to be egosentric on the mather the ability to remove your companions head slott comes first. Seriously with some companions looking fabolus and been put so much work into, it's a total fail to not allow these people to remove their gas masks during conversation, etc. it ruins their character and makes them look like psycopaths or complete *******...

I know the artists worked hard on creating the graphics for this game but some of the headgear is silly and breaks immersion.

Personally I miss seeing Corso in all my voice overs... now I feel like some nameless clone soldier is following me around and the storyline is broken. I know my husband groans and shakes his head each time his companion, Kira, gets a new silly hat. He can't take her seriously anymore

All aesthetics or personal opinions aside, for the story part of this game, a part I feel is very important, it's nice to be able to see a characters face and their facial expressions.

Also since this would be only an option, it would not effect other players who like to see the helmets on their characters and therefore this feature would not negatively effect anyone's experience. It would only positively effect the experience for some.

Thank you for your time, please have a nice day.
Yes. The current helm on my companion makes him look like a G.I.Joe toy.

It is Corso as well. I like his dreads look and wish I could keep that.

Like bonnets or G.I.Joe helmets.
