While I’ll keep specific story details brief, expect minor spoilers for planet and location names, quest names and solutions, as well as the order you unlock companions and when you can access their follower quests. You can also unlock perks for companions which further boost your skills while they’re in your party. But she can also step in to solve engineering problems, like with the Edgewater quest, Die Robot. So you can pass tougher Persuade checks when they appear.

These buffs stack as well, so you can create some powerful teams that make a big difference to your starting stats.įor example, the early follower Parvati buffs both your Persuade and Engineering skills. When these skills are called upon, they can either step in to help or boost your abilities. Each follower has three special stats which reflect their areas of expertise. On top of all the fun Companion Quests that adding to your crew unlocks, your character receives bonuses based on the company you keep.
