Companion Info [Possible spoilers]

[Argroth]

Ok so now that the NDA is over I was wondering what info people have on companions.

So far I have managed to find out what classes get what companions and a vague picture here and there but I'm not sure how accurate it all is. I'm sure there are people out there who are better at obtaining this kinda info than I am.

Anyone else have some websites or some info on all the companions available?

Is it true what I have read, that there is a "secret" companion? I've only heard its an HK droid, nothing more.

Mainly though what I'm interested in is what kinda customization they can have. Anyone have a record of all the appearance kits out there? I have not seen a single appearance kit for Bowdaar for example, what kinda things can he wear?

I hope this kinda information can be asked for now.

This is the website I found with companion info but it is surely incomplete, many do not have their crafting bonuses, even more have very limited pictures and there is little info on combat abilities/weapons.

I'm not interested in story spoilers but that is something other people might want.

I have not seen the info at the link above contradicted, so I would go with it.

The only info I've seen regarding the HK droid is a rumor that it'll be somehow connected to the legacy system. Take that with a giant grain of salt.

I can provide a little more info regarding trooper companions.

Tanno Vik is an asshole. He's the token dark side companion, and generally responds well to corruption, bribery, showing off, that sort of thing. His crew skill bonuses are for underworld trading and armormech.

M1-4X is a propaganda bot with a lot of hilarity thrown in. Think narrator of a childrens' superhero cartoon, with your squad being the superheroes. He responds well to anything and everything that puts the republic in a positive light, dealing strongly with imperials, putting down corruption, that sort of thing. His crew skill bonuses are for scavenging and cybertech. Oh, and that webpage is a little off, he's primarily a tanking companion. He has a ranged dps mode, but he's better used as a tank.

Yuun is a spiritual tech specialist. He's very humble, a bit reserved, is very interested in other cultures, and is just light side in general. His concept of spirituality actually plays a major role in his technical abilities. His crew skill bonuses I honestly cannot remember, though I think slicing was one of them.

Anyone have info on, or better yet pictures of, the appearance kits available for all the companions?

All i can remember from beta is that Khem Val has a few that turn his skin a dark/magenta red with some more technological loincloth variations.

What about Elara Dorne? If you want to romance her do you have to be light side or does your alignment not matter?

Are people not really interested in this?

Companions are a big part of the game and threads concerning them just keep getting pushed off the main page.

For some added content.

Khem Val seems to like when the sith inquisitor is more of an individual and less of a yes-man servant. He doesn't seem to like it when the player is arrogant and conceited though. basically don't be an obiediant follower but don't be a cocky d*** while doing so. Be strong and confident but not arrogant and belittling.

this thread details the companions and where and about what levels you get them. there could be spoilers as a warning.

Curiosity: His voice actor is the Narrator of the Clone Wars series.

Yeah, LS.

Anyone Know Nadia Grells alignment for the Jedi Consular?

Isn't it strange that doing a Jedis romance is considered "dark-side" but some of the jedi romancable companions are light-side? If they were truely light side wouldn't they be opposed to romance and stop anything before it happens?
