Zardac_the_Great Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Greetings! So, I saw a thread about companions you didn't want to take but had to, and this sort of popped into my mind. What NPCs have you run across who you wanted to take as a companion, but the game wouldn't let you? There are two for me so far, one is Nadriel Pridence, the Jedi smugglers run across on Tatooine. She was completely oblivious and ditzy while also being self righteous. Somehow, I found the combination to be hilarious. Also, my inquisitor ran across someone on Nar Shadaa who had Lord Kallig's lightsaber. I can't remember their name, but it seemed fitting that the descendent of the servant should join up with the descendent of the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfumblez Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Honestly, If you've been to Voss on the JK, you can tell that the Voss woman, Tala-Reh, SHOULD HAVE TOTALLY BEEN YOUR OTHER COMPANION. Instead, we got Rusk. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird_of_Thunder Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, on Nar Shaddaa as a warrior, you run into Lord Rathari who says that he will pledge allegiance to you. Instead, we get Jaesa three planets later :| on the matter of the SW i would've taken Sharack Breev (that one girl on Tatooine) in place of Pierce or Broonmark, maybe Vette.

JLazarillo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The first one to come to my mind is in the Trooper story. I would've liked to see... Fuse. Instead of the utterly illogical "decision" scene on Tatooine that follow no sense whatsoever, just have him live and get taken back. By the time the Trooper has to recruit an explosives expert in chapter 2, Fuse can be trying to redeem himself, but on a very short leash, for obvious reasons. He ends up providing a similar role to the "fallen from grace" Vik without the problem of being an utter sociopath who doesn't fit with the rest of Havoc, and his personal story could have been used to tie up all the various points about the old Havoc Squad that just sort of drop off the face of the galaxy after Coruscant.

errant_knight Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Well, on Nar Shaddaa as a warrior, you run into Lord Rathari who says that he will pledge allegiance to you. Instead, we get Jaesa three planets later :| on the matter of the SW i would've taken Sharack Breev (that one girl on Tatooine) in place of Pierce or Broonmark, maybe Vette. I agree about the first, he could have replaced Broonmark easily. We have to have Jeasa, though, because it's pretty clear that she's going to play into the story in important ways. I'm pretty sure that she's who the skull reading on Korriban referred to. My only real problem with Jaesa is that they didn't bother to give LS Jaesa different fight comments which makes her creepy as hell. Haven't got very far into the smuggler story, but mine would have gladly traded Risha for her 'friend' on Taris. As a knight, I'd very much have liked to be able to add Lord Praven, although since the knight has my favorite companion of all of them in Lord Scourge, I can't complain too much.

Swissbob Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Would have loved to have Thana Vesh, For any class Edited February 21, 2013 by Swissbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estriga Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 On my Jedi Knight, Watcher One. I liked the fact he was someone who clearly was focused on his mission without any of the strange attachment to slaughter that some expect from the Sith empire. I could have used someone like him around in place of Doc or Rusk. Would have been weird to have three former imperials in my crew, but I could have overlooked that.

darksidechemist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Would have loved to have Thana Vesh, For any class Amen to that! She could have used a good spanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thana Vesh from the Empire side. Would have been a great choice for all Empire players "Kill her" "Let her live" "Ler her live and offer her a spot on your crew" For SI, the two other apprentices of Zash's or just one of them.

Chaloss Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Mild spoilers for Imperial story lines here. Biggest surprise in this thread so far been how long it took for Thana Vesh to be mentioned. I am not interested in having her as companion however. If I could choose then perhaps Chiss officer that you could promote to commander from Hoth for my Inquisitor. Inquisitor group is rather diverse except lack of military expert (like Quinn for Warrior for example) as I am unsure of Andronikos skills in that area. For my warrior on other hand too many military ones as is already so something different...someone like Talos would be great, but I am drawing blank on who would be appropriate. There are some in Belsavis, but do not remember name and not sure how good they are. BH and IA I am drawing blank currently. Both of them lacking force user companion, but would not make much sense to give them one. If skip reasoning then I would take Jedi apprentice from end of Act I in BH case. In IA case I suppose could have Jadus or Kharrid assign one low ranked Sith to your service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to have Thana for a companion of every character, I just think she'd be a good one to have the option for. My SI let her live and could probably become a friendly-rival type of companion. My BH put her down when given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalistea Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 On my female IA I would have liked to get Sanju Pyne as a companion and romance option after Balmorra. He's cute and more fun than Vector And being stuck with that b.... Kaliyo till Alderaan was really a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebergy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I would have loved a generic apprentice companion, maybe have a complete character customization for her and name her yourself...Although I suppose that might have been a pain to do the companion story for that. Don't get me wrong, I really like Kira, but this is kinda what I first thought of when I originally found out that my Knight would get his own Padawan back when the game was still in development.

DAWUSS Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I would have been happy with optional companions. Every companion except HK-51 is forced on you. And stories aside, they're mostly one-dimensional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErosNYC Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 For JK definitely Tala-Reh like everyone else says! Or any Voss character at that!.. but NO... hello Rusky boy -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryh Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I so wanted to have Aristocra Saganu für my Imperial Agent (and to continue the romance). I don't like the companion I got instead at all. I mean... a handsome chiss joining my party...a dream come true. Not to mention, why is it always the male players get two romanceable companions? I want to throw her out of the airlock and get Saganu instead. Rajivari for my Sith Warrior (preferably also romanceable) would also have been great *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardac_the_Great Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sort of hard to romance a dead man, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allronix Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 For my Consular? Oh, I would have loved to have Daddy Grell as a guest star party member for a mission. Great guy. Republic needed more like him. Also wouldn't mind teaming up with Ambassador Asara from the Esseles run for a while. She'd make a pretty good teammate for a less-than-Light 5 Consular. And Gaden-Ko. Wow. I TOTALLY wanted this guy in my party. Sure, kid. Your vision said "see the galaxy." I'll take you everywhere and you can judge us for yourself. (He'd probably be a high light as far as alignment) I haven't gone too far with my Bounty Hunter, but so far I'm not meeting much of anyone I even like, much less want aboard my ship. So far, it's Mako and me against the bigoted, Sith-dominated cesspit that is Imperial space. Crysta, though, is making me want to start learning the Resol'nare. The Mando'ade are complete di'kute for being Sith spear-carriers for a third time over, but they respect fighters regardless of species and they don't fawn over the saber-swingers. I'd be glad to join her crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sort of hard to romance a dead man, don't you think? Oups, my bad, thank you got correcting me. I recently played consular and got them confused. I meant the one on nar shaddaa the SW encounters. I'm not really good with names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartalectwo Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I get the feeling Hallow Voice and Gaden-Ko were probably intended to be the Jedi Consular's melee tank and healer companion at some point in the drafting process, but they're so late in the story that they couldn't be. Would have liked them to be, though. Both are from strange alien cultures with some very non-standard views on the Force, and it probably would have been interesting for the Consular to hear their points of view.

Callaron Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My agent(s) would've recruited Ki Sazen in a heartbeat! My DS one would've convinced her to work with him, while my LS agent would've helped her on the path to redemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
