Swtor Guide – Swtor Companions

Posted on by

I am sure that many of you have played Kotor and was kept from being lonely by the great companions or team mates that Bioware put into those two great games. It appears that this companion system is going to also be in Swtor!?!

Some of you may be thinking that it is odd to have a companion system in a mmorpg. Yeah it worked real well in the console solo rpg’s. But how well is it going to work online in a mmorpg? The answer to this question is somewhat not known right now since hardly anyone has had the chance to try it out. So you will have to wait and see.

The companions in Swtor are going to provide the exact same thing they did in Kotor. That being combat assistance, in game commentary, Comedy, Company and most importantly more side quests that are unique to each companion. Each class will also have there own set of unique companions which they can acquire. It also appears that you will be in control of your companions skills and gear again. Also you will be able to take these NPC companions along with you when you are with other players.Wookiee 169x300 Swtor Guide Swtor Companions
You will be able to interact with your companions the exact same as the solo rpgs kotor, And can even engage in romance with them if you wish. Knowing Bioware there will be a large selection of different types of companions each with their own story, strengths and weaknesses. Ranging from weird aliens to clever droids companions are certainly going to make a difference not only in PvE but also in PvP.

Some missions and quests in Swtor will be completed using your companions skills and this means you will need to make the right choice between a skilled hacker droid or a battle hardened medic. Taking the right companion will be key.

I am just left with the question on how well this type of system that worked so well not only in Kotor but in most other Bioware games (Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age etc) is going to work in a mmorpg. I know this is not a new thing in mmorpgs since most games have a companion or pet class. But it appears that everyone in Swtor will have companions to fight along side them.

Bioware recently released a new video showing off some of the impressive combat in Swtor. One thing I want and I am sure everyone Swtor fan wants is amazing combat that sets Swtor apart from other mmorpgs and from watching the video above I am sure you will agree that they have done just that. Making a decision on what class to play in Swtor is becoming more and more difficult since all of them clearly have something unique to offer. Watching new combat video also gives us some insight into these unique abilities such as the Bounty Hunters jet-pack and the Imperial Agents ability to call in air strikes on their enemies.

Watching the latest combat video of Swtor should make other mmorpg developers very worried since Bioware really are creating some new and unique in the world of mmorpg combat, The player will feel more involved in the combat and danger that their character must face. Among all the things the lightsaber fighting is looking excellent and far better than we first expected it would be. The introduction of a cover system for the Smuggler and Imperial Agent will also be something that we have never seen in a mmorpg before.

Go ahead and check out the latest combat video above I am sure it will have you desperate to get playing Swtor. One point that Bioware do make that is completely true is the fact that in other mmorpgs some enemies have teams of 4 or more people fighting just that one enemy, This does not feel so heroic but in Swtor you will find yourself outnumbered fighting for survival which will make your character feel heroic and get your adrenaline pumping.
