Bioware, now would be the perfect time to bring back killing companions.

It's the "Dur... I'm an evil character. Watch me kill everything" crowd that wants this the most.
You'll probably find a few of the avid "Let us kill Satele Shan!" posters on this thread too.
Some people should just play some GTA if that's what makes them happy.
Mind you, some have valid reasons for wanting certain companions dead - but it's still hardly worth the hassle for the devs.

To be honest, only wanting to kill Quinn makes sense.



Even if we don't take into account the fact that you'd be losing companions that you would normally send out on missions to gather mats or craft, even storywise it doesn't make sense that you'd want to kill any of the rest. Why kill Vector? Why Lokin? Or Talos?

There's a very fine line that separates being evil from being utterly stupid - why kill the people that serve you?
And for Republic classes it makes even less sense that a Jedi Knight or a Jedi Consular would ever kill one of their friends-companions-padawans just "for fun".

Any more reasoning other then "silly?" I just want to see how this was a silly concept.

I mean it isn't new... Kotor 1 & 2 had this remember if you pissed off your companion enough, they'd turn on you. It added a sense of realistic interactions...unlike TOR after this feature was disabled - i.e. DS V Jedi and no one gives a damn.

Before they do anything like this I would want to see two things happen....

The crafting of droid companions.

The breeding and capture of animal companions.

Both should be combat capable, neither should craft, nor should they have any affection or storyline.

You would be able to kill them if desired, or dismiss them permanently...if they die or are destroyed they are gone.

Only after something like this is implemented do I think they should consider bringing back companion killing.

I've maid a suggestion on how it may work long ago:

To echo Darth_Moohshadow's post, if you want to kill Mako just because she's sometimes annoying and bossy, you have issues. If you want to play a game where you can exercise your fantasies of being a "bad-a**" sociopath, perhaps you should play GTA.

It wasn't just killing them, you could make them leave you as well if you pushed them too far. it added a greater sense of realism and your choices mattered more. It was one of the great thing that were sadly removed in Beta because BioWare listened to all the people that complained that they were now "hindered" (the options to kill the Companions were clearly labeled)

As to the person who said its not worth the Devs team. All the voicework/coding is done, it just needs to be re-enabled again. It was fully working in Beta.

Pushing them to the point of leaving, that makes sense story-wise. So would killing if they dun you wrong. But killing them just because? Silly. And juvenile.

Problem is, certain companions are a required part of your class story. After the class story is over, perhaps. Bioware has no intention of giving us a chapter 4 or more companion content..

However, C2-N2 should be killable no matter what. He's only required for one cutscene and he is annnnnnoooooying.

Nice idea, simply letting Quinn off with a little choking doesn't really cut it, and I really wanted to kill gault and get the bounty the first time I went though the bh story, maybe have Khem challenge you to a fight to the death since he is always talking about killing you at some point and maybe Kaylio trys to betray/leave the agents crew with all those imperial secrets.....
