A guide to companions (Spoiler Free)
As most know all heroes usually, have companions and luckily, we are no different! In Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) your characters will receive in total 5 companions and 1 which is a non-combat companion. The interaction you can have with your companion can lead to unique quests.
Like people, companions have their own personalities and likes/dislikes. I have personally found that these adventures can end up being fun and unique! Some companions have Romance options available while others do not. They even love gifts if you pick the perfect one! So getting to know your companions can be tricky without the right information.
The issue becomes when you tend to search for information on the Internet it spoils the surprise of future companions. So I decided to create this spoil free guide over time. This guide will feature your companion’s likes/dislikes, gifting information, and general tips to help you along the way.

Gaining and Loosing Affection
Conversation Choices
Your companions have their own unique personalities. Some enjoy when your defiant others think everyone should be respectful. Most companions are neither light nor dark. The affection points that you gain or loose during light/dark options isn't because of you being light or dark it is the action. I have found that the more affection that you have with a companion the less affection you loose for doing things they do not like.
Giving Gifts
All companions except your ship droid will like companion gifts. Since they have unique personalities the affection gained from gifts can vary. There are different ranked gifts and they should be given based off the affection level you have with your companion (in order to get the better reputation and not waist later ones). Example chart provided below...
Rank 1 Companion Gift = 0 - 1999 Affection Level
Rank 2 Companion Gift = 2000 - 2999 Affection Level
Rank 3 Companion Gift = 3000 - 3999 Affection Level
