Combat
- If you a see a circle appear below your feet, that means you are about to be hit with an AOE attack. Move out of the way quickly!
- Having trouble outdamaging a healer NPC? Use your abilities that interrupt when they are healing. You can see their healing activation bar near their head.
Companions
- Each companion has a codex entry which will explain their likes and dislikes.
- You don't get awarded morality points or companion affection until you complete the mission you are on.
- Towards the end of Taris, and through Quesh, you may notice that your companion is not gaining any affection. This is normal.
- Your companion gains new skills with levels, but sometimes forgets to use them. You have to enable them manually. Remember to check once every couple levels if there's something new.
- If you dismiss your companion and then bring them back out, they will be at full health.
- Escaping from a conversation before it's done allows you to redo choices (in case your companion disapproves).
- You can skip a portion of the conversation (or any cutscene) by pressing the spacebar.
