HK-51 revealed for Star Wars: The Old Republic, buried on Belsavis
Posted: 17.07.2012 12:47 by Jamie Davey Comments: 6
BioWare is adding an all-new companion to Star Wars: The Old Republic and he/it is based off Knights of the Old Republic's HK-47, a fan favourite for his irreverent one-liners.

We don't get HK-47, but we do get his later iteration of HK-51. Apparently a whole assembly line of them is buried in the depths of prison world Belsavis. He's added in the "very near future."

Declaration: Meatbags are incomplete without their complimentary assassin protocol droid. Check out the CGI reveal trailer below. HK-51 will be a full companion.

If he's as hard to find and retrieve as a Holocron, despite having a guide, I won't bother.

Not to mention he won't be a proper companion...like the rest of them he'll be a statbag with a few lines. No real meaningful interactions ever seemed to take place outside the fixed storyline.
