Good stream.

 

Question #1: Without naming specific companions (we'll use Companion Bob), did I understand the stream correctly and that the below is a possibility:

 

Companion Bob was a classic Companion. In KotFE, Companion Bob does not return story-wise. Despite that, I can still summon Companion Bob for adventuring purposes.

 

Is the above understanding correct?

 

Question #2: Will any new companions have conversation quests?

 

Question #3: Will any old companions have new conversation quests?

Can you kill [permanently, as in completely unusable] any companions?

 

Are companions still tied to classes?

 

Can you recall any companion once you start KotFE?

When Fallen Empire launches, all of your existing Companions remain accessible to you outside of the story Chapters. In the KotFE story there is a specific cast of characters that is a part of that ongoing storyline.

 

What does "outside of the story chapters" mean - are they unavailable for use in any KotFE areas? Will they have dialogue and/or react to choices if they are available in some areas?

 

Edit (for clarification): I'm asking what "remaining accessible to you outside of the story chapters" actually means in practical terms. Do they react to choices you make in areas they are allowed in? Do they have location-based commentary like on Makeb or Rishi/Yavin? Or are they mute and gameplay-only?

 

We haven't forgotten the relationships you've built; the affection you earned will not be lost and the relationships you built will continue to be relevant

 

Will we get actual dialogue with romanced companions that reflects the relationship?

Question: Does the existing character affection we have carry over to KotFE or give a higher starting point of influence if/when we try to get them back? Edited August 27, 2015 by -Sullster-

Will Presence become a stronger factor in your companions' strength than pre-KotFE?

I don't want to sound rude or anything but i felt the phenomena with that space bar smashing in the stream.

 

Can we get the Title: The Space Bar Smasher/killer in the game in the future?

My companions wanted to know when the game engine their digital selves live in would be getting an optimization so that they can experience better framerates across the galaxy??

will we get a skytrooper hk skin?

will companions attack when you attack or will they still only attack when you are being attacked? Edited August 27, 2015 by LostDragonClaw

Will there be more streams before the release? Or screens and stuff?

Are there any same sex romance options in KotFE?

Will we be able to use our new-found companions in the old base game?

Here's some feedback.. This is literally the worst stream you have ever done. Content wise and production wise.

The stream went down for ~20 mins or so and then when it came back you muted the audio for a little while. Production wise this was just really bad. Content wise it was really lacking and this was amplified by the poor production quality.

 

Your Q&A was extremely limited.. spending 5 mins to talk about other aspects of the expansion would of gone a long way. I'm sure you could find something to talk about.

Will there be a maximum number of companions we can have?

How many companions will you be able to acquire per character maximum? If it's more than 10 can we please be allowed to have 2 companions out at once instead of just 1. I'm not sure if this has already been answered or not. I am so sad sometimes because i have all these awesome companions and can only have one at a time it makes me miss how Kotor you could always have two companions out.

Will the parts of the story that will lead to my companion's death/or other circumstances that will render the comp unrecruitable, be clearly marked/fairly obvious, like on ME3 where we can tell Ashley/Kaiden "No." and they won't join the crew?

Are the companion legacy 192 gear going to be completely irrelevant then going forward? Kind of makes getting these gear sets irrelevant now

will there be any interaction between HK-51 and HK-55?

 

Anything from Mandalore / mandalorians? Also anything about hutt cartel and chiss ascendancy? all these groups could commit a power play during the Imp / Pub time of weakness by grabbing space.

Just looking for a yes or a no here - not a who - but will any of our old companions, who we were not previously able to romance (for example, Scourge, Zenith, Pierce, or Talos), now have the option to romance?

 

Also, will any of the old companions become same gender romances (again, not looking for story spoilers, just want a yes or no)?

What does "outside of the story chapters" mean - are they unavailable for use in any KotFE areas? Will they have dialogue and/or react to choices if they are available in some areas?

Obviously Kira will not have a dialogue and reaction to character Kira appearing in say, Chapter 7. Assuming your resummoned-Kira is even allowed inside the instance, she will just stand there mute while the REAL story canon Kira will be doing the talking.

As may asked, are you broading the romance options?

Will they a way to mix up a little the companions of different classes? Like Kira and 4X and Theran for example...

 

Non companion question:

Any chance that the Player Character models will bring to the level of the new NPCs? They look amazing, compared to them the player is like a plastic doll

Will any of the achievements tied to companions be unobtainable/going away for characters that have started KoTFE?

Here are some questions ^_^

1) If we did not play Shadow of Revan (which means we never met Lana before KOTFE), will conversations have some changes (minor at least) or not?

2) If we create a lvl 60 character, will he\she be the new character, or will he\she be a character with already finished class story (so will our "new" knight be called Hero of Tyton or will he be just one of the Knights of the Order)?

will there be any interaction between HK-51 and HK-55?

 

Hk-51 barely speaks less than 10 lines as it is throughout the game man. He's just a skin they threw in there mostly. I doubt it. We will need to get our hands on HK-55 to get some of that good old HK-47 banter we desperately wanted.
