I'm a different style player. I'm the kind of guy that (on my bounty hunter) turns off Mako's healing and turns on her combat skills so stuff dies faster. Healing schmealing.

Spoiler!

That's a little-known fact - companions can serve in a couple of rolls, and have skills across the board, so, as I mentioned, Mako can heal for you, or she can help you DPS - well, she also shoots stuff while she heals in healing mode, too, but you can actually make her a fully-fledged fighting character instead of just a healer.

So I've read at least.

Cough.

(of course this is all probably subject to change, since they're in beta)

As far as the monthly fee goes, I think if there was any game that ever warranted a monthly fee it's this one. The estimated length of time it takes to play a single character zero to 50 almost three times as long as KotOR and KotOR 2 combined. If you look at that in 15 hour (max...) console game terms you're paying 60 dollars for at least 10 console games worth of content, and that's only playing one character.

It would be fun to duo stuff with her though. Just keep the pressure on.

Man, you're preaching to the choir about the monthly fees. I'll put the full court press on her when I start playing and see if she can come around. As far as my class goes, I was actually thinking about doing the dual-wielding lightsaber DPS.
