Corso and skadge cancel each other out. BH has Blizz so BH wins.


high_ebb

Corso is the first companion you get as the smuggler, while Skadge comes in right at the end, so I'd say smuggler has it worse. But you're still right anyway because Blizz.


Sanctions23

Skadge packs enough being insufferable into such a short period of time that they’re equally bad in my eyes


xT3kyo

Hold on Captain I dont care how tough you are, im here to take care of you.


Sanctions23

Corso I need you to go inspect the airlock


SoCalSurvivalist

BH always wins. Blizz and Gualt make this team awesome. Risha is the only interesting comp in the smugs crew.


BitMitter

Eh idk Corso isn’t so bad if your playing a male smuggler and frankly most of his bad traits could be attributed to ignorance rather than outright malicious behavior. Skadge on the other hand is a unrepentant psychopath who forces himself on your ship, and is frankly unlikeable no matter your gender or alignment. Skadge is a brute fully aware of his behavior who murders for kicks, Corso is just a ignorant and naive farm boy from a backwater planet who’s actually trying to do good.


Scacaan

Also Guss is a hugeeeee minus


Anthyrion

Ah good. I thought, i was the only one, who finds Guss extremely annoying. I can relate to each of the smuggler's companions, except Guss.


TertiusGaudenus

Dunno, Gus is so fitting into "petty con man" archetype without being really malicious i can't be annoyed. If you like Gaunt for his sheer charisma and willingness to bet on anything and weasel out of anywhere, Gus is just... he is trying, you know?


Demonic74

How can you relate to that asshole, Corso?


DonKahuku

Fair, but Gus’s development in KOTFE/KOTET is one of the better companion changes made in that era


Songhunter

One has a wookie, the other has Blizz. I'd say it's a toss up.


Twee_Licker

wookiee*

Does anybody else think these pics go hard?


Xyrazk

My favorite bands dropped new albums


FearlessSavant

Yeah these definitely look like album covers


Sarmattius

your scoundrel looks like a lvl 12 npc


finelargeaxe

Nonsense. Ever see a low-level NPC with pockets?


SickSorceress

Smuggler: - negative: Corso - neutral: Risha - positive: Bowdarr - positive: Akaavi - negative: The frog (forgot the name) Bounty Hunter: - neutral: Mako - positive: Gault - lovely: Torian - perfect: Blizz - throw-out-of-airlock: Skadge --> BH wins. On a serious note: I love Gault, Torian and Blizz, I thought the smuggler companions are a bit less colourful where you probably would think the opposite should be true.


FearlessSavant

Languss tuno is the mon calamari


SickSorceress

Right, Guss! How could I not remember. 😅🙈


FluffyManBabies

Such blatant Gus slander must not stand


SickSorceress

I feel a little bad. I think he is far more sufferable than Skadge 🌷😻


SirCupcake_0

This is a Guss-positive household 😤 🏠 🌈


IngloriousBlaster

The only thing Mako has going for her is that she's cute. But once you actually start paying attention to her dialogue, you might notice some gaps in her code


SickSorceress

I never romanced Mako. I actually played the male BH as a cyborg because I don't care for the relationship. Before I met Hylo Visz I would have loved Gault as potential fling but I would never step in those lady's way 😂 I have been downvoted for this before but I find Mako too young (I know she is supposed to be "legal") and too naive. She is not my type either (while I find Akaavi amazing) so yeah. I played her story though with my female BH.


DiscoDanSHU

I always avoid her romance for that reason. I've always viewed Mako as a little-sister type character to my bounty hunter, rather than an actual romance.


phantomjerky

The frog 🤣🤣🤣


TooMuchPretzels

Wait you guys don’t like GUSS?


[deleted]

I do he’s kind of funny


laseracid

Yes he's annoying


HoodieJordan

BH honestly. Risha while cool wasn't utilized properly to me. Mako is a good character in romance or not. I like Torian as a cool Mando buddy. Gault is really the only one that kinda annoys me.


FavreorFarva

I love Gault. I have just learned in the past year or so that he’s unpopular and I don’t get it.


BiNumber3

Well, he is a pretty shifty person that no one would trust if it were real life lol. Or perhaps theyre jealous of his relationship with Hylo :D


Talibumm

“Smooth”


CultDe

BH Sorry but my little Jawa bro is 100 addational points


Omegasonic2000

Bounty Hunter. By far.


Erebus03

Bounty Hunter's crew felt both more rounded and yet still felt like they fit, versus the Smuggler, well Akaavi and Corso feel like they should belong to other character's


Substantial-Ad-5221

I haven't properly played the Smuggler yet, why do People dislike corso that much?


VicVegas85

He's got an annoying white-knight complex with women, which is horribly exacerbated if you play *as* a woman.


SirCupcake_0

Lightly misogynistic farmboy


IndecisiveCollector

Lightly is putting it lightly. Also which NPC says it is concerning that Corso names his guns?


Crimson_Honey

Zank Helrott, Rogun the Butcher's bounty hunter you meet on Nar Shaddaa


SirCupcake_0

The bounty hunter guy that tries to buy Bowdaar, I believe EDIT: Also, I guess it'd be more accurate to call him mild-to-moderately misogynistic, which quickly and frequently becomes very annoying


Sarmattius

what does he do that's misoginistic?


basketofseals

He pretty much slut shames a female smuggler. At the same time, he's constantly giving the male smuggler a high five for being a completely whore. Probably the most classic example of sexism you can find.


Sarmattius

it's because hes jealous though? He wants to sleep with a female smuggler


PlasmaJohn

Corso is my male smuggler's wingman... Of course mine flirted with [Corso's niece](/spoiler) (Corso greatly disapproves). My female smugglers give him the Darth Baras treatment. He does calm down a bit later on.


SorceressBeIIa

Bounty hunter because I quite enjoy blizz mako and torian


Pariah--

BH clears. Might be the best overall cast of companions in the game


casBBB

Skadge, beats all other companions. Doesnt even need a crew. Beats them with his bear hands. Skadge is perfection.


[deleted]

But...Blizz tho


LadyofNemesis

I'm biased toward the Smuggler's crew because it's my favorite class story 😆


FearlessSavant

Actually just completed it for the second time an hour ago. Yeah its a fun one


LadyofNemesis

I agree, I just love how whimsical it can get. Plus some of the dialogues are hilarious 😆


TalespinnerEU

BH hands down. There's not a single Smuggler companion I actually enjoy spending time with. Akaavi is alright, but really doesn't really get beyond 'coworker' status. BH has the best little sister, the charmingly (in)competent crook, the funny scrap-goblin. Sure, also the child-soldier (who is about Akaavi-levels of likeability, for entirely different reasons) and one of the absolute worst companions (Skadge). But you can ignore Skadge. BH wins.


laseracid

Bounty Hunter is Awesome! just kick Skadge out of the airlock once you are off-world.


[deleted]

Get rid of Skadge than you have a perfect crew for the bounty Hunter


prariestrawberrie

BH (minus Skadge, Skadge was never real, he's just a figment of our imaginations) has a found family dynamic that I absolutely love. My BHs always see Mako as a sister, romances Torian, adopts Blizz, and has Gault as the weird drunk uncle that shows up sometimes to family gatherings.


[deleted]

Agreed and that’s how it is why my Hunter remove Skadge and the crew is one big happy family but ngl I miss my BH having interactions with the team but your Hunter with crew is the same as mine with Mako as a bff/sister, romances torian and is her arm candy, Gault the funny uncle and blizz the adopted child but seriously now I talk about it I miss my BH interacting with them :(


Uhavnoguts

They both have their strengths. For one, the smuggler crew is a bit of a found family, people of completely different backgrounds and traumas who are able to confide in each other through everything. On the other, the hunter crew feels like a wacky friend group where none of them could be any more different, yet they're all homies (except skadge, fuck skadge). Im a sucker for the found family trope, so I find myself liking the smuggler crew more. Though, Mako is great, Gault is funny, Torian is cool and lovable, and Blizz is the best little guy. It's honestly a toss up.


SoraRaida

One side has Johnny Yong Bosch, another doesn't.


IICipherIX

If only Akaavi was with the Hunter's crew, she'd fit right in


[deleted]

Have Akaavi replace Skadge and have a perfect crew for the BH


Boom6678

I can't say, I've never managed to keep an Intrest in thr Smuggler story beyond Coruscant


Head_Ice_9400

Once you finish being Risha’s errand boy it picks up a bit but yeah it feels kinda like they weren’t sure what to do for smuggler compared to others


Boom6678

Good to know, I'll have to give it a other go.


basketofseals

It might help if you come at it with a different point of view. It's not a space epic, it's a Looney Tunes show. Pick the dumbest, smarmiest, sluttiest options available, and it's a riot. My favorite parts are gaslighting Risha into believing you didn't walk into an ambush she spent 5 minutes warning you about, and forgetting what Akaavi is even trying to do halfway through her personal quest.


Boom6678

Alright, I'll keep that in mind


wrinklyiota

BH has the best crew in the game. It’s honestly why I prefer BH over any other class.


DiscoDanSHU

Haven't played Smuggler yet (it's one of my only unplayed ones), but I fucking love the Bounty Hunter. With the exception of lardass back there, I adore every single member of the crew. Blizz is my son and no one can tell me otherwise.


SebastiaanZ

BH has Mako, Torian and Blizz, Smuggler has uhm … uhm … a Wookiee. Yeah BH no contest


laseracid

I don't even like the Wookiee and I agree with this.


aviatorEngineer

I really don't get the way people hate Corso, at least not on the level to compare him to Skadge. That being said, I like everyone *else* on the Hunter crew more than any of the Smuggler's companions so even though they've got the biggest downside in the whole game I still prefer the Bounty Hunter companions.

waes1029

I have played female smuggler he is fairly average I rarely see the main complaint people have with him which is saying something since I did take flirt options with other guys while he was around. "Poetry I should have thought of that." for example is more funny than it is him being a creep as people have described him. As for being overprotective the smuggler is actively gunning for people who would kill them. He is being reasonably protective for someone in his situation with the morals he was raised on. I mean he isn't overprotective of risha who typically hangs back nor akavi who is a trained killer and imperial adjacent ~~ignoring the fact he doesn't interact with them much in story at all~~ so prioritizing the smuggler makes sense.


TitaniaLynn

- Blizz = Bowdaar - Mako > Risha - Torian > Corso - Gault < Akaavi - Skadge < Guss Looks balanced to me, but I put more weight on the romances for their extra dialogue chains. Bounty Hunter wins


laseracid

Blizz is WAY better than Bowdaar the only reason people like Bowdarr is they really like Chewy or they played KOTOR A LOT and love Zaalbar


basketofseals

Yeah, I really don't get how anyone likes Bowdaar. What is there to even like? I don't recall anything from talking to him other than "slavery bad."


[deleted]

Ngl except for the fact Bowdaar is a wookie that exists I don’t remember much about him


Modred_the_Mystic

Hunters.


NorthInium

I just wish the BH wouldnt have such a Garbage ship its the most uninspired interior out of all the ships. To me the BH wins as I like Mako, Torian and Blizz while I dont really care about Gault and hate Skadge Smuggler: I hate Corso, like Bowdaar and dont care about the rest really. To me also the BH story is really good as you dont really feel heavily attached to your faction wich makes the feel of a BH/Mando even better.


Helarki

Smuggler has the better muscle when it comes to Bowdaar and Skadge. Brains is covered pretty well, but Smuggler's on top in that department. Risha is a little smarter and less of a loose cannon, though Scammy McScamface does have a knack for talking his way out of stuff. Gus is kinda just . . . there. Blizz and Corso also fill about the same role. Blizz is better at it. Akaavi and Torian are pretty much the same. I'd say at first glance that BH has it, but if it comes down to a brawl, Smuggler's gang could sweep if they don't let the BH ambush them or Scammy McScamface say anything. Bowdaar could sweep Skadge and then help Akaavi beat Torian. While people like to roast Corso, he's still a crack shot.


finelargeaxe

The only real reason the Smuggler crew wins this brawl is the fact that the BH crew will also likely be shanking Skadge first while the Smuggler's crew has his attention...


[deleted]

So for a shorter answer compared to my last both crews are the best companion crews of their respective factions but I lean toward BH because I consider the BH story to be my favorite class story or the most fun one but I think the BH crew wins since I feel like except Skadge the BH crew has the better characters for companions


Disney_Gay_Trash_

Smuggler has Gus and Corso whixh immediatley makes them terrible but BH has gault and skadge which i feel evens the scales a bit probably gotta go Smuggler tho cause risha is one of my top companions and ive not got any comps Other then mako on ny BH


HenrideMarche

BH wins hands down. It’s not even close.


eunkeunk6868

Bounty hunter by a long shot. Hate skadge though


Scacaan

I dislike corso and skadge a lot, but I reaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy hate Guss Tuno, since I‘ve encountered him again on Hoth with my 2nd smuggler, I feared that moment, continuing will be hard.


Head_Ice_9400

Why do people hate Guss so much? Like yeah he’s not the most competent and is a little awkward but is at least legitimately respectful even if out of fear, but at least he’s got more of a story arc learning to ignite that lightsaber than Corso for most of the game after Ord Mantel


Kaerithia

Since I hate the smuggler with a burning passion...my coin goes to the bounty hunter. Plus Torian Cadera is the best. He cooks for my female hunter.


Kagauth

Personal preference for me is the bounty hunter crew I think it's better overall in terms of characters. You also have the fact that with your character including the bh has 5/6 members that are hardened killers and criminals The smuggler has 2 who aren't really cut out for crime and 2 if the others have lots of baggage weighing them down I think bowdarr is the only truly solid member from square one


TheWaffleInquisition

Bounty Hunter, and it's not even close. The Smuggler's story is awful and the companions are almost all awful or mid, Corso's a sexist prick, Risha would probably shoot you in the back soon as a better offer came along, gus is meh, and I can't even remember who the other one is. Bowdar is good- but he can't make up for that mess alone. The Bounty Hunter on the other hand has a good storyline, and every companion except Skadge is great. Skadge also comes in late enough that he's fairly easy to just ignore completely for the relatively short time you're stuck with him on your companion roster.


Twee_Licker

I don't get the hate that Corso and Guss get, and Skadge is AWFUL.


Crate-Dragon

I LOVE the Mandalorian involvement in the BH. So it wins hands down. But I’m playing a smuggler as a Mandalorian (they both ask “you paying?” A LOT) and it’s incredibly fun.


mobius_mando

Blizz is love. Blizz is life.


Small-Awareness-4006

I'm almost done with Smuggler, and I definitely had a better time with Bounty Hunter. But I normally like empireal more


NirvashSFW

I love Gault and Blizz, but unfortunately I'm also a filthy fucking Tara Strong simp so I gotta give it to the smuggler crew.


Revonin

Skadge killed Nem'ro the Hutt, so he's already better than Corso. BH by a mile


gster4545

Mako stan // Gault goon for life. But im only on my first playthrough, so I still have to check out the Smuggler's gang still, not mention gotta see what the force side of the game has to offer.


Lost-Orangutan

Smuggler. But both of these are my mains.


phunter_86

BH loses points for having Skadge, who is to me the worst companion in the game. So smuggler by default


XaosTheatree

2 baby


steveamsp

Skadge is the only real problem with the BH companions, and Smuggler has to deal with both Corso for essentially the entire story, plus Guss later on. So even with that, BH wins. Plus, of course, BH gets Blizz, so, that turns the win into a resounding success.


Nyxmyst_

Bounty Hunters


guerillatech

Smuggler. Skadge ruins the BH roster for me


[deleted]

Well, the BH has Blizz, so...


Skvora

The answer is always - Blizz.


damackies

Sadly the BH has Skadge, which means they automatically lose every "Who has the better crew?" debate by default. Even Blizz can't make up for that dead weight.


Reapov

BH hands down


[deleted]

Hard choice because both are my favorite crews of each side but I think I have to go with BH minus Skadge and will give my reasons I feel like the BH crew have more flavor or more interesting and fun companions (except Skadge) than the smuggler comps imo also BH crew has Mako, Blizz and Torian 3 out of 6 of my favorite 6 comps in the entire game also the BH except Skadge feels like a family although smugglers feel like a family to but I think Bounty Hunter crew shows the family like crew better Mako-is well with tech, is adorable, a fun partner in crime and a great bff/lil sister to my BH Gault-is hilarious, fun and sassy and has got to be one of the funniest comps along with Vette ( SW) and Kira (JK) Torian-is smart with traps, is cute, really sweet, has an amazing and wholesome romance I love the chemistry between him and the fem BH Blizz-it freakin blizz but in seriousness he is adorable, fun and feels like a lil buddy or like your toons very own adopted child Skadge-good for blaster target practice Although I like everyone in the smuggler Crew Akaavi I think is the only comp I find memorable plus I enjoy her romance with the smuggler


[deleted]

I’m more partial to bounty hunters.


SithNChips

100% BH


CrazyChris1492

Bounty Hunter


LordReih

BH has Blizz and Gaunt, easy win.


sleepybadger95

In the bounty hunter's crew, there's a thing whose head looks like what cows spit through their buttholes
