In a first article, we discussed the companions according to the class, their role as well as the armor worn and the romance options. Now that you can all play, you now know that our dear friends are having a tough time. They like some choices but hate others. On occasion, they also like to receive gifts. But their reactions are varied and it is sometimes difficult to navigate.
Note that building the affection of companions is important in particular to increase crew skill gains. It also unlocks bonus missions related to the background of the companion.
There are 10 types of gifts:
- weapon
- Cultural artifact
- Well of the underworld
- Military equipment
- Frequent
- Luxury
- Memories of the Empire
- Souvenirs of the Republic
- Technology
- Trophy
It is possible to obtain gifts with certain professions, to buy them for credits (gift shop for partners on the Fleet) or to exchange them with a Curator (still on the Fleet).
Note that the taste for certain objects is modified if the character has a romance or not with our character (when there are two mentions in the list below, the first concerns the companion without romance, the second with romance).
Regarding the affection points gained during conversations, it depends on the style of response made. It is not always easy to know what will please them, but we have tried to give you some ideas.
Here is an Excel file summarizing this information for better readability. Thanks to Bladrak for this contribution!
