Just how many times did your companions end up getting married?<br /><br />I think that the intimacy/marriage thing is what is preventing me from maxing out affection on all companions. I realize that female toons don't have as many romantic options as male toons --I do play female toons about half the time-- but once I get a potentially romantic toon maxed out I'm not inclined to do it again on the same character. That means yet another alt, and really, I've only done that on a Smuggler just so I could play with the kids on another server.<br /><br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-54714195415581906402014-04-29T00:14:15.641+01:002014-04-29T00:14:15.641+01:00just break out the checkbook and buy the love!

I buy maybe 20-30 of the basic tier gift, hope for as many convo boosts as I can get, and then just rank-5-gift them the rest of the way. Honestly, there's no big justification beyond 'see their stories' and 'max out a number'. I'd love if you could send them on other sorts of missions that they might be better or worse suited to, give them training ... basically a whole mini game out of it. But I don't see that happening anytime soon.The Guilty Partyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113955236856777152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-10548899501380778142014-04-27T22:43:33.684+01:002014-04-27T22:43:33.684+01:00These days I just buy 65 of the 200 credit tier on...These days I just buy 65 of the 200 credit tier one gift of their choice. Turns out 65 is just about enough to get them to 4000. If it's a companion who:<br /><br />1.) Agrees with your philosophy <br /><br />2.) Matches your play style.<br /><br />3.) You get them before level 40.<br /><br />Then it's adventure on for the rest. That covers one companion though, you have five. For the other 4, just break out the checkbook and buy the love!<br /><br />It's a very mechanical system, which means it's not immersive. In my dreams Bioware gets wise and starts cranking out story based adventures for our little buddies, so we can learn to be friends the "right way".TheeNicksternoreply@blogger.com
