It would be both interesting and fun to potentially be able to recruit more people to one's crew in TSL using a system similar to the initial PartySwap mod which gives you an item allowing you to insert the handmaiden in as a replacement for any of your party members even if you're female, and so that you can recruit both her and the Disciple regardless of gender. Perhaps this can be done on a slightly larger scale, combining other possibilities and/or existing mods and allowing you to add more additional companions to a PartySwap-like system. Here were a few I had in mind and not coincidentally, they are all force-users which could make it more interesting:
1) Dustil Onasi: an already-popular mod exists which allows you to recruit Dustil Onasi on Telos, Carth's force-sensitive son from the previous KoToR game and have him replace HK-47, perhaps he could instead be added as an addition to the PartySwap system or an expansion of it.
2) Kaah Ohtok: Master Lonna Vash's padawan, a young Twi'lek whom you meet in the M4-78 expansion. He's a Jedi with tech expertise who struggles with temptations toward the dark side (which is why he attacks you initially). He dies in the expansion despite agreeing to join your party but perhaps a mod could be added to allow him to be recruited in a PartySwap-like way.
3) Kaevee: this is more of a long-shot, considering she was cut but then again so was Kaah. She's a former Padawan living on Dantooine in the Jedi ruins who is the actual thief that was stealing from Suulru and wants a Jedi Master to train her. Perhaps the Exile could agree to take her on
4) Atris: I've heard she was originally going to be recruited but Obsidian scrapped the idea. A user named Reztea introduced a mod where you can recruit her towards the end after you fight and defeat her and she takes Kreia's spot after Kreia leaves (spoiler, so sorry). Perhaps this could be worked into the PartySwap system as well even if she only joins towards the end.
Please share your thoughts on this. I would love feedback and to see this
