Yeah, first I'd seen it. The only other one I had seen was the invasion of Coruscant. |

I'd thought I'd posted about SWtOR here, but I guess not :P I posted this over on Frihost in January: I've been playing The Old Republic since, I think, 23 December, and it's proven to be a pretty solid game so far. There's less of an emphasis on the MMO aspect of the game, which I dig. I can play through the entire story without grouping up with other players if I want... but to be thorough, and complete all the quests, playing with others is an occasional must. It's a lot like playing Knights of the Old Republic on an online server. The setting is a large part of the draw, obviously. If the game wasn't set as Star Wars, I doubt I'd be as interested... I certainly wouldn't pay the subscription fee... but I'm a sucker for Star Wars, lightsabers and the like. The graphics are pretty decent, definitely a step up from games like WoW, and the controls are simple enough. The roleplay aspects are pretty decently set up, with different conversation options affecting your light side/dark side balance and your standing with your companion characters... again, reminiscent of KotOR. It helps make player choices have some meaning, and make you feel like your choices matter, rather than the normal railroading of most MMOs I've played. I have 4 characters created over 2 servers right now, a male Twi'lek Jedi Shadow, female Twi'lek Sith Sorceress, female human Sith Marauder and a female Mirialan Smuggler Scoundrel. The comparable classes between the Empire and Republic classes are pretty similar, it's just flavour changes to how the abilities look and their names... I've gotten each character to at least level 10 and off their starting realm, with my Sith Sorceress at 16 now. It's been pretty fun so far, with lots left to do! |

In Real Life ™, people who aim to maximize their potential for lethality are called "dangerous psychotics" and are typically avoided by everyone who isn't forced to endure their company until someone has the opportunity to put them away or else put them down. No one likes that guy. Don't play that guy. Donate to Ankhanu Press | |
