Your journey through the Old Republic is not a solitary one. The Companion Enthusiast achievement celebrates the bonds you forge with the diverse cast of characters who join your cause. To unlock this, you must achieve maximum influence with every companion available in the game. Influence is typically gained through dialogue choices, completing their personal quests, and making decisions that al with their personal beliefs and goals. Each companion has a unique personality and backstory, and understanding their motivations is key to earning their trust and respect.
Maximizing Companion Influence:
- Listen and Engage: Pay close attention to your companions' dialogue. Their comments often reveal their opinions and what actions they approve or disapprove of.
- Dialogue Choices: When presented with dialogue options, choose those that resonate with your companion's known personality. For example, a compassionate companion might approve of merciful choices, while a pragmatic one might favor efficiency.
- Companion Quests: Each companion usually has a personal questline that delves into their past and offers significant influence boosts upon completion. Prioritize these.
- Gifts and Favors: Some games allow you to give companions gifts that increase their influence. Identify what types of items each companion appreciates.
- Consistent Alment: Try to make decisions that are generally in line with a companion's core values throughout your playthrough.
Building strong relationships with your companions not only earns you the Companion Enthusiast achievement but also enhances your gameplay experience through their unique abilities and insights. Invest time in understanding and supporting each member of your crew.
