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

Just post a bounty on his character...

2 million credits. dead or badly griefed. 500k bonus if Mako does the killing blow.

Hah, I can just imagine someone grinding credits for the soul purpose of killing off a certain companion!
"Must do more dailies...! Quinn needs to DIE!!!!"
And no, you never said to kill all companions - but several others have.

With a lot of failsaves in place, yeah - it could be possible to kill off the most "hated" companions, but they would pretty much have to make them "relapse" and commit a new offense to make it plausible for your character to suddenly decide to murder them so long after the fact.
Or put them in a situation where you can choose to save them (LS choice) or let them fall to their doom or whatever (DS choice) - but it'd be pretty forced at that point too.

Still, it seems like a lot of work to please a small group of players that are dead set on seeing certain (or in some cases all) companions die - while devs are notorious for trying to make content that's aimed at the community at large.

I don't even get why he's that set on killing Mako in the first place.
One of the best ways of showing what a DS scumbag your character is, is by having a LS sidekick there with you IMO.
Some of my most hillarious conversations in game have been with Mako as a DS BH, and with Elara on my DS Trooper.
Sure, you lose affection for it - but the dialogues are often priceless.

Definitely have missed some stuff, will try to catch up.

First things, the whole Mako is thing isn't me being really serious. I knew a lot of people would come in here talking about Quinn and Kaliyo, so I just thought it would be fun to mix it up a little. And so far, she is my least favorite.

Which leads me to another thing, I wish I would have put this in when I was making the OP, but I don't just want the ability to kill companions. There should also be a way for them to leave or you drop them off some where. Some companions just don't fit being on my crews, and it wouldn't fit for me to kill them.

Some of you mentioned that the old beta way would not work anymore, I could see that. Will probably remove that from the OP and explain the convo idea more.

A few of you were talking about the only people who would want this are the "hur-dur evil FTW" crowd. Well, one, as mentioned in this post, and will change the OP, I don't want, and I'm sure the others don't want to JUST kill the companions. A way for them to leave would be a great inclusion as well. Secondly, who cares if they want to do it for that reason? It's an mmoRPG, and those choices would not effect anyone but them.

Alec, you mentioned the story reset idea. Would be perfect to co launch with this. Might even be able to bring back old beta way if they did this.

I think that's everything, keep the comments coming

I'd vote for this, too. Now that I can have Treek as a healer, I'd love to show Quinn the spacious side of the airlock. Or just about anything to get him off the bridge of my ship. He needs to be gone.

You made the mistake of rolling a male SW.

I also just finished Quesh, so...

eh. As much as I agree this should not have been removed from the game, adding back in now would be pointless. The idea of killing a companion would need to be worked into the companion or player story. Since most of us have finished both of those now what would the point be of putting it back in now?

here is an idea!

if you kill your companion for whatever reason, you CAN resurrect them the the rakghoul virus


just make sure, they are lock away though
