I was actually the one who asked the question, and -- while I admit I had a hard time hearing the answer -- the impression I got from the answer was that characters coming back as companions were not out of the question, and that it was a good time to start a thread on the forums for characters people liked who have appeared in the game. That could have been me mishearing, or just being hopeful, I suppose, but that was the impression I got.

As much as I know many people would love Thana Vesh, I do think since her possible death is on-screen, she may be impossible. Personally, I was never really into her, but if they decided to make an exception, resurrect her and add her, I wouldn't complain. I'd just much prefer, if they were going to bring back the possibly-dead, that they do so for Cytharat, especially since his possible-death was off-screen and assumed, unlike Vesh's death.

I love several of the suggestions I'm seeing here (but Cytharat and Avesta remain my favorite options thus far)! Thanks, ladies and gents!

I'm not sure I understand why Thana Vesh has such a huge following. Is her arrogance endearingly likeable or something?

Like I said earlier, I would abuse the punish emote so badly if she was my companion.

I've completed every class story so I'll break it down by class. I'll try to leave off anyone that possibly died. I'm also pretty unfamiliar with the characters that females can romance.

Nice post, but the one point I would argue from your "other" list, and since I just finished reading Fatal Alliance the other day, Darth Charnus was killed off as I recall.

she was written very well with a consistent, strong, and distinct personality. that is why you will get a lot of people who loved her in game like me and a lot of people who hated her like you and I would guess a smaller percent of people that don't feel strongly either way.

that is the mark of a well written character

the reasons I like her are kind of the same reason I like Jayne in firefly. she's strong, consistent, obnoxious, conceited, messes up a lot but acts like she had it under control, doesn't like to be told what to do but respects a good leader and talks big but really its just a act, she never really tries to kill you or anything although she claims she's going too. she acts like she hates you no matter how much you suck up to her but follows your lead and doesn't fight your orders, not that the game would let her anyway. just full of personality and humor that you either love or hate

to add a suggestion, I think a hutt companion would be both silly and awesome
also as that great list above suggests teff'ith would be awesome with the way she talks and also would love to see crysta from the BH story again I miss her... her accent and her mohawk

I am not sure, but we never see Ava Jaxo dying on screen, or is there a option in which that can happen? Sure, I am also sad that I lost her on my trooper, but maybe she found a last second escape on her own if you don't save her. So, yes I also would like to see her returning as a companion.

yes but baras is more condescending, constantly belittling you, giving orders and is out right a malicious person up until the end

Spoiler


thana never begs she was more consistent and like I said she talked big but when push comes to shove

Spoiler


baras is a typical villain type and un-redeeming, thana was more likable and a humorous counter to your characters abilities and elite skills with her mishaps and attitude
