10 years agoKoth is gone
How do I get Koth back? I absolutely can't stand listening to or reading the boring conversations and stuff in progression. I'm here to play a game, not watch a boring movie or read a book. Anyway...
Btw, even if I went to that site on a daily basis, why would I even read that page you linked? It's an advertisement for people that aren't already members. I've been a member since day one. I would have never gone to that page, let alone read it.
Also, I just read it now and all it says is that choices matter. It says nothing about losing a companion. I mean, choices have ALWAYS mattered. They just never mattered that much. Usually just faction and stuff. And like I've said already, even then you usually get a graphic or something indicating you are about to take a faction hit. And even if you pick the wrong thing you can go back and undo it somehow... either by getting faction elsewhere or simply resetting the mission.
Maybe an explanation here, about Koth :

Thanks. I'll give that a look when I get some time later.
Pretty sure they also had stuff up on the launcer that would give you the information that choices matter.
And really, the conversations are part of the game, so you are missing out on part of the game when you skip through them on every playthrough. I managed to make the right choices to keep Koth, by playing the game and particiapting in the conversation, but many of my guidlies did not, and they were quite amazed that I kept him. In trying not to give spoilers, they indicated that what you said in that convo would cause you to lose a companion, so I weighed which companion I would be willing to have stomp off in a huff, and chose accordingly. I was pleasantly surprised when no one left from my choices (for the record, I didn't know would cause the loss, so I ended up choosing the first option that upset Senya, but that wasn't the one).
And yes, they cannot fix it for you, once you have played the chapter, the results are set. Might behoove you to pay at least a little bit of attention to the conversation, at least on the first playthrough, because ever since October, choices have mattered, we just haven't seen the results of some of them yet. And if you want to play Daffy Duck and give random responses, then stuff will happen that you don't intend. It's all up to you how you choose to play the game. I don't see how someone can not pay attention to all aspects of the game, including the conversations, conversations that just might give hints on how to do your missions...
I appreciate the response.
My issue isn't that the responses matter, it is that the result is so extreme. That was my only lvl 50 companion. It took a LOT of effort to get him to 50. Most of that effort doing way under powered and thus extremely boring missions. I basically did all that work for nothing. I seriously JUST got him to 50 last week. Thursday to be exact. I have some friends that I group with every Friday and we often need a companion. So, I leveled that one up whenever I could.
Basically, I'm all the way back to where I was several weeks back. I honestly was considering leaving the game because of this. Not just because of all that work down the toilet but because it might happen again and again. The absolute only reason I didn't remove the game from my computer was because of the friends that play.
As for watching the clips. I just don't see how you can do it. They are so boring. I've honestly tried. Back when the game first came out I forced myself to watch the clips and stuff for several levels. However, it was just so boring that I often couldn't even finish a single mission before I felt like logging out. I would finish the mission out anyway of course but it left me feeling horrible about the entire experience. I would rather be at work than watching that stuff. So I stopped watching them... the game has been fun every since. Until this happened anyway.
Again, I'm cool with the decisions mattering. I'm just not cool with it being something so extreme... or something that can't be undone.
And if they are going to do something so extreme then at least do it like when you specialize. You can't do that without knowing what is about to happen if you do... even if you fast forward through the conversation. If I remember correctly, you also get a big box and then a warning once you select. Once you do this it can't be undone.
Anyway, thanks again for the reply. It sounds like I'm stuck with this for at least now. You have helped me vent a bit though and that helps a lot.
