Squeets Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Not so much the new mechanics, but how old companions integrate with new companions? I can't find this information because googling KotFE and companions gives me a hundred million results about the changes to gear/roles and a list of some of the new companions... So yeah... Do we lose old companions? Do we keep all the old companions and get new ones, and have a metric fudge ton of companions in the end? If we lose our companions do we at least get to keep the ones we paid for (HK and Treek)? Thanks Edited October 12, 2015 by Squeets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthJimilingus Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 We are keeping all of the old ones and gaining some new. No gear for companions though. Companion skill is based soley on Influence you have with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 2 versions of the game will be running - the version outside of KotFE which you keep all of your original companions who are not affected by KotFE at all, and the KotFE version of the game, where a bubble reality exists and all your "choices" stay within that realm. Sadly this game will not go back to what is was in early testing where companions could betray / try to kill you, and you were forced to actually perma kill them.

So are the old companions exclusive to content outside of KotFE and vice versa for new companions within it? Like can I take a new companion to do dailies in an old zone or no?

Nico will be available outside of the expansion though if you were able to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHobbit Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 well the "finish" will not be for about 1 year,there is either 16 or 18 "chapters" or the expansion, we get 10 on launch then 1 more each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightOfTython Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Can someone explain to me how companions work in KotFE Naked gimps, very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTyranid Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Naked gimps, very simple. "Malavi? Be a peach and scavenge that droid for me will you?" *Muffled pleading grunt around shock-collar/ball gag combo head gear* "Now now, do I need to remind you why you wear that? And why you NEVER GET TO SPEAK TO ME AGAIN!?" *Malavi starts scavenging droid* "There's a good boy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithKoriandr Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Where did they say we'd lose these new companions after the KotFE story finishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Where did they say we'd lose these new companions after the KotFE story finishes? Well you won't have access to them outside of the story anyway, so "lose" is subjective. It'll be like the past expansions with Lana, Theron, etc. They'll just do their own thing until BW decides to use them again or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eillack Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hmm I'd have killed Skadge right off if this were true. It is true. Ask anyone who has been here long enough to remember earlier testing or at least knew someone / read on the original forums about it. The whining about people just killing companions for the hell of it, then realizing their healer, etc. was gone forever, killed that option. Watch early vids for the game where the dev team highlights this option along with choices that matter (sound familiar?), etc. Also note all the armors in the early vids that never made it to launch, lol.
