HK-47 in SWTOR!!!!!!

[Pazzolupo]

Okay, okay, okay...relax....relax.......I know you people who actually played KOTOR already crapped your pants, but listen.

On G4TV there was an E3 2010 recap of all the MMO's of worth they covered. The interviewer spoke with the lead writer of SWTOR and asked directly about HK-47, since all the other characters would be long since dead or frozen in stasis somehow. The lead writer simply replied (paraphrasing here):

The great thing about the companion system is that there are a LOT of secrets that will be waaaayyy off the beaten path. Really, only those players who really push out to explore the universe will find these things. But, yea, there are a ton of awesome secrets to be excited about findind in SWTOR.

Now, granted....he didn't say yes. But dammit he sure as hell alluded to it. I hope you have to put him together again like in KOTOR.

Here's a clicky link to check out. That particular conversation happens at 15:10.

Squishy meatbags!

YES! Now I can enjoy fulfilling meaningful 'protocols' with Meatbags! If he's in SW:TOR, I will gladly give my soul for a life-time sub.

I like KOTOR, and I like HK-47, but come on, does he really need to be in the game?!? Wasn't it bad enough that he was in SWG?

Quite simply: Yes. Yes he does need to be in the game. Also, he should be in every other game no matter the IP. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning? HK-47 should appear randomly throughout the world. Global Agenda? There he is messing up the Conquest. It doesn't matter what game we're talking about. HK-47 makes it all better! (and worth the money to buy with just his presence)

You make a very compelling argument!

Ah,HK-47. I love this guy. My first play through, I became aware of a growing, gnawing terror during the Tattooine missions, as it became cleaerer that I would have to get a droid to translate for me. I always hated the useless android/robot/kid sidekick characters in movies, books, or games. If they're going to be useful, fine, if not, what's the point of having them at all? So going in, i sucked it up (hot), took the hit, and started preparing for the worst.

But HK-47 was sofa king AWESOME. I was expecting C-3PO, and was relieved and surprised. I really hope I can get one for my Bounty Hunter and/or Operative, though it may well be a newer model HK droid. It was even in the second KOTOR game, and was one of the better parts of it. As long as it's the same basic personality type, not even the same voice actor, it'll be fine.
