"[quote name='sparklecat']That's excellent news, Uluain, and I'm very happy to hear it.&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nThat said, it's news that should have been given to [i]all[/i] of us earlier on, not to one person in an email while other people were being told there would be no further comment on this issue, full stop.  I sincerely hope that this is a sign of things to come; open, substantive communication from Bioware on this topic.[/QUOTE]&#13;\nI hope so, too. And is is a sign of things to come. It is just hard to anticipate how soon. Here's another bit, from the lead paragraph of the email amongst the \"thanks for contacting us\" stuff:&#13;\n&#13;\n[quote]The information on this topic is very limited at the moment as it is a future, but not current, content feature. When we are closer to the release of this content [B]further information will be available[/B].[/quote]&#13;\nAgain, emphasis mine.&#13;\n&#13;\nYes, they might have said something similar to us all sooner. They may say something similar to us on Friday. I don't know.&#13;\n&#13;\nBut, seeing as this is coming now, after our showing in this week's Q&amp;A thread, I think that there is an effort to say as much as they can where they can.  If indeed they are following these topics, then they certainly know that we keep each other informed.&#13;\n&#13;\nI am pretty sure that I got that reply so that I could bring it here, and try to let off some of the pressure.  And you know, given those assurances, I do feel our point has gotten across and I for one don't feel as frustrated or as grimly determined to push as hard as I can (and I have not yet [i]had[/i] to push as hard as I can - I was just getting warmed up ;)).&#13;\n&#13;\nAnd on to possible future companions...&#13;\n&#13;\nI can't think of any Republic side NPCs I see for more than a mission or two that have really caught my attention in that way.  A SIS-type might make an interesting companion for any class, and there's one on Coruscant for whom you retrieve Justicar shipping manifests who I wouldn't mind getting to know better.  &#13;\n&#13;\nThen again, I haven't progressed that far.  I am levelling my alts by turn, and my main is still on Alderaan, so maybe there are more interesting NPCs to come."
