I wouldn't say that. I mean you're talking about a companion that can not only Tank and heal but can Tank and Heal at the same time.

If you can't be bothered doing the quest, and even then, at a much smaller price.

It was an OPTION. If you couldn't be bothered doing the quest. Not to mention he doesn't cost as much. Treek has only one option. Fork out 1 million credits.

None of which cost us a million credits.

Yet she does come with a hefty price tag.

Hardly. Without some reason to justify the 1 million credit fee, it boils down to either Bioware being epic trolls and sticking an absurd price tag on a companion that in no way warrants such a hefty price.

Or an unashamed credit sink packaged in the form of a companion.

In either case, I thought that a team that gets payed to put half decent content in the game would have managed to make it worth the fee. Clearly that wasn't the case however.

Your sardonic response aside, yeah it is kinda firework worthy. It easily can be the replacement for 90% of the companions currently being used just due to the fact that it is a Tank AND a healing companion rolled into one. Not to mention a healer that you can get by level 10 vs some of the classes in the game having to wait until nearly the end if not the end of chapter 2 to get a healer. So yeah, while it may not thrill you, for a lot of people this companion IS firework worthy..really! So you can go ahead and cut the condescension routine right there and NOT act like a doody canoe.

90%...good to see you're not exaggerating.

It's no better at healing than the healers, so it sure as hell doesn't replace them, and most of the players I know, myself included, tend to roll with either a heal or dps companion. Occasionally maybe a tank.

So enjoy your pointless companion, just don't expect the same level of needless excitement from me.

Is this a bug/can we expect a fix for it?
#1 - if you find Ewoks "embarrassing" and you didn't have extra credits to spare, then why did you buy the companion in the first place?

#2 - we have NEVER received a +10 presence bonus for all maxed out companions. Read the tooltip. You only get the bonus for each of the 5 types of companions. For example, if you hit max affection with Mako, then you won't get +10 for any other healer companions that you subsequently max out on affection.

Ok, so there is something I CAN say.
No, the unique bonuses you are talking about are for the healing, crit, etc bonuses and the extended Heroic Moment.
You DO get a +10 Presence for every unique companion who's storyline you finish completely - and my Legacy has the +400 (500 thanks to a Human) to prove it, as do many others here on the boards.
Probably you've gotten more presence than you know from it as well - since I imagine you have a few 50's with maxed companions.
Thanks for showing us you listen to our feedback, Bioware!

Well, Mr too lazy to read the posts in the thread he's decided to post in. Under the now obviously mistaken belief that Bioware would have made her at least partially worth the hefty 1 million credit fee by giving her the ability to provide a once off +10 presence buff to characters in your legacy.

Thankyou for displaying how far up your own colon your head is lodged at the moment. See bellow for more details...

Actually, no. That's not correct. What you wouldn't get is the other passive boost that comes from reaching max affection with each companion class type.

You do get a once off +10 presence for EACH different companion at max affection. I know because I have all fou base class types on both factions with max'd out affection.
