Gault (Bounty Hunter class story spoilers)

So I, like most people, like Gault as a companion. I also love the bounty hunter class story - but does anyone else feel bummed that you don’t even have the choice to kill him initially? Like, at that point in time you have ZERO reason to trust him so just breaks immersion for me a little bit. Not only that, but if you’re playing more of an honourable hunter, it seems dishonourable to lie and fake his death in the great hunt. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
