Star Wars The Old Republic
- Thread starter Mr Light
- Start date
Yeah, i started playing it last year, play it off and on again...
Bought the Digital Upgrade soon after so my characters can run from the start...
I have 4 characters, 2 on each side...
With the Sith i pick light side options, makes for some interresting reactions from NPCS.

Dude. If I wander into an area where the villains are just one level higher than me I immediately get massacred.
Also, what's the mechanics on my companion dying? I never even notice it happening and then I end up running around for hours without him/her/it, then sometimes when I finish a mission they return. But not any time I finish a mission. How can I bring them back?

Strongholds are a very recent addition and are really only of benefit to people with several characters. Mostly though it's just a cash sink for high level players.
A good way to get xp is to do the Heroic 4 missions. Basically just little quests that take 4 people in a group to complete, but it should give you a good amount of xp, especially if you use the complimentary xp boost.
The usual way to find an H4 group in chat is to type "LFG" in chat, then shift-click the H4 quest name on your mission tracker and that should paste it's name straight into chat. Be sure to say you're a tank as that always helps.

You just equip armor for them the way you do for your own character. When you open up the window that shows your character's gear, on either the bottom or the top (I can't remember exactly, anymore) will be a tab for your companion. Click that and it'll show you their gear, and you can equip them however you see fit.
To give a gift to a companion, I think you just need to have the companion with you, and then right click on the gift. But it's been a while, so I'm not 100% on that.

Not all gifts are equal. There are around 10 types of gifts and probably only two of them will be of any benefit to any particular companion. When you hover over the gift it should tell you if will have an impact and whether it will be small, medium or large. The game won't stop you using a gift even if it give zero increase in affection from a companion, so you can save the gift or sell it.
Another good way to get experience is in PVP. It's also a good source for credits in terms of the individual matches and the daily and weekly missions, which are just play X number of warzones in a day/over a week. Though prepare for a lot of complaining and feeling that the game is unfair, especially when you're at the lower level end and facing those closer to the top end of the tier level cutoff.

I beat Lord Taris on Coruscant and now it's off to Ord Mandrell!
How long do your companions last? I have the T3 droid and Kira. I don't want to give them crap right before they die or something. Do they last the whole game? 'Cuz I don't see anyone else with a Kira running around. I think I've seen a few droid companions.

They don't die, though some of them might become unavailable for a while for story reasons.
Companion appearances can be changed, so you might have seen a few Kiras, just not with default appearance.
It is KOTOR 3 more or less. Not necessarily a good thing. The Bioware formula is getting a bit long in the tooth.
I'd argue that the WoW in SWTOR's pedigree is far far less appealing than the KOTOR.
It is. Fortunately, they seem to be changing things up with Dragon Age: Inquisition, which may indicate an overall change in design philosophy to their games. I mean, going from what they've been known for, to an open-world Skyrim-like game full of exploration seems like quite a change for them, but at the same time, I think they realize that they have to. Their current formula is mostly designed around hardware limitations.
OK, this was weird. Having finished Coruscant I went to Ord Mantell. When I was on the overworld the villains were extremely weak so apparently I was supposed to have done this earlier in the game. But when I went into the base the villains were at my level and the boss killed me five times before I finished to half-ass my way to victory. Then I go back to the space station, get attacked by five Sith and immediately die. I have no idea how I'm expected to survive that encounter that's forced upon me.
