I've never used a companion, and I find it very unlikely I would because I find the practice kind of a rip off?
As I understand it, you basically have to spend 2EP/500Exp on a companion to gain them, which is a significant outlay early on especially, THEN you have to basically level up 4 skills to get 3 Skills with them, every single rank?
I dunno, it always felt to me like the big initial outlay and then still needing to pay increasingly high increments of exp just to have the possibility of levelling their skills higher seems a bit rubbish? And should probably be solved by being one or the other or having some other form of like, 'making sure those darn companions don't get too strong' type thing, like paying another 2Ep/Etc to open B/A/S/SS level skills or some such?
At the moment, it mostly seems like a big sacrifice just to have some added fluff/personal minion type character that's unnecessary? After all, whatever exp they spend on said companion is something that they sacrifice from their main character, so they're surely already curbed by the reduction of expertise their character gains~?
