Wonderful video describing companions and what they bring to the game. From combat to crafting to romance arcs. Looking at the game play footage shows how much the game has improved.
Daniel Erickson’s Gamespot interview gave us our first look at the group mission on Alderaan at E3. This week, BioWare prettied up the content to give it a more cinematic presentation in “Alderaan Highlights,” a video introduced by Dallas Dickinson.

We were also pleased to hear Dallas say that this mission is one of “countless” group missions.
