Deliberately missing the point of my statement is even worse.

You need a valid point for him to miss it.

Then I'll try to use extra-small words this time so you can keep up. I know it's hard for you, but do try.

Making him an exclusive means we'll never get any more story with him than we currently have. You want more story with him, but you want to keep him all to yourself, but you can't have both. That's what you don't seem to realize. Why would Bioware waste the resources on something only a minority of players even have access to? Making him available to everyone who plows their way through Chapter 9 means they'd have an incentive to make more and better use of him down the road which would give players an incentive to put more characters through the expansion (and potentially spend more money doing it), which benefits everyone, not just you.

Sorry, I guess I used a few three-syllable words in that. TLR translation; Nico for everyone who plays Ch 9 means potentially more Nico story later. Nico stays only exclusive means No new Nico story ever.

Comprende?

Feeding him just makes him grow, Zanya.

Restored HK-55 is exclusive but we are getting more story with him at the end of Season 1.

Now that is a valid point. And to tell the truth, I'd rather have a chapter where you play as Nico than the one we're getting.

That having been said, we already have 7-ish "story" companions, with at least one more confirmed, and the assumption can be made that we will get ~1 more "story" companion per chapter. (Though I'm not going to bet against some story comps being mutually exclusive; you can have one or the other, but not both, on the same character). More story characters means less time per character devoted to them from the story. Am I willing to give up a returning companion time in the story to put Nico's story in that timeslot? Well, it depends on the returning companion, I suppose, but probably not.

Or, you know, the story with him is also exclusive, in the rare event it happened. Like HK-55. Which is already currently exclusive story.

And to get that story, you have to be a sub for 8 months. And it's going to be one chapter. So, don't expect it to be more than 20-30 mins of content.

And you mark my words....shortly after they release that, they'll make HK-55 purchasable off the Cartel Market.

I can see it now, just like when you meet Pierce or anyone else you get the widescreen cropping, and stare at the back of your characters head while Nico says 3 or 4 lines of dialog.

It will be epic!
