Oh look! Another "jumper" that was bored of his previous MMO...
Please do us all a favor and go play some other game since you clearly are playing the wrong one, if you think adding stuff like this is worthless...

This game should be about VO, story, companions interactions 1st and everything else after as Bioware said, and yet they are focusing in PVP and grouping...

Yeah I wouldn't mind a few repeatable conversations being developed where you can order your companion to do some things or them updating you on events in the game, could be a great way of releasing updates to game news.

Especially with the girls/guy your having a sexual relationship with. Right now it feels very stalled on my ship as if they are waiting for expansions. Would make it more lively on my ship. Even companions talking with other companions.

that said if bioware is listening I would pay $59.99 for a companion expansion pack if it turned the companions into actual "bioware quality" companions,

meaning...
- quest lines for all companions
- full dialog stories like kotor, dragon age, and mass effect where at any time I can just click them and choose between 2 or 3 different stories or get some cinematic interaction
- more interaction from companions while questing and in combat
- individual crating professions for each companion

the extra mile would be
- all companions romance [including same sex and romance with droids/aliens]
- new companions

dreaming...
- making companions bound to legacy [so a max level character could quest with any unlocked maxed affection companion] - don't know if that is possible
- a companion flashpoint where you can use a kotor team with 2 companions or where you have to use a different companion to complete different parts of the flashpoint

that much content would be worth a expansion price to me witth just the first 4 but sadly I think I am the only one who would pay for this
I would pay for that as well but im out of here tuesday, BORDERLAND 2 IS COMING OUT

Definitely more day-to-day interaction and things on ship...good idea.

As would I! That sounds brilliant!

I actually really like the idea about the flashpoint were you'd need a different companion for different parts.
I think something like that could actually also be done in our future class stories.... Should we ever get more, that is.

Someone I know said she saw Timothy Omundson (Aric Jorgan) mention on Twitter several weeks ago that he was back in the studio recording for SWTOR. Since I don't have proof, of course, feel free to take with a grain of salt.

Just chiming in with the "I would pay money for an update/expansion that included new story and/or dialogue with my companions". I was one of the SP gamers who got hooked hard on Bioware's storytelling with Dragon Age: Origins and the only reason I gave SWTOR a try was because of its similarities to the SP titles in terms of having fully voiced protagonists, Companions, and Romances. I'm still a subscriber, so I'm still giving them money; the f2p argument has merit, but if they have a playerbase of subscribers, that's money they're making, too, and money they can keep making if they cater to the loyalists as well as go after the new market.

Hmm. I'll ask on Laura Bailey's (Kira Carsen) facebook page if she has any planned studio work for SWTOR. She is usually pretty good answering fans.

As long as there is hope for new story line and new companion stuff (with both current and new companions) I'll be a subscriber.

Please bioware keep makeing companion conversations, quest, and storys, and I will pay every dime, and never stop playing. Please don't be like any of those other games were you ignore what the fans want, and add only what you feel you want. That is why blizzard lost me as a player. I want for once just to play a game were the disighners do what the fans want. If you need time to make it happen then I would wait til you finish it. I promise you that if you do lissen then you will blow any other mmo out there. Just dont make the same mistakes the others did.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

I want to see this happen as well.

I was actually kinda surprised that did not include stuff like this when "legacy" and the "Family tree" came out.
