Star Wars: The Old Republic (KOTOR MMO)

[Mangala]

is kotor any good i heard it was a little rushed and it shows?

1 is great if a little wierd at time, but overall is a good story, 2 is rushed and a touch unfinished.

play.co.uk have the game release as 27/11/09 hehe very much doubt it somehow.

also hope there is a closed beta and i get in but the way bioware does things makes me think they may do it in-house employees and family.

kotor  1and 2 are awesome games, not perfect but awesome all the same.

if youve played mass effect think 5x better than that, and that is one good game

my favourite character in the kotor games is the deadpan psychotic assassin bot "Meatbag"

[Kurtt]

HK-47 ftw. It was awesome, and a little weird, when they worked him into SWG

[Keggi]

just ordered kotor the first one to get me in a starwars mood. 


tried watching ep1 again got 30mins in and had to turn it off one of the worse scripts to a movie i have ever witnessed.

the only lines i remember from episode1-3 is *my young padawan learner* because it is used in every other line.

mee isa sooo sorry.

Bloody awesome interview - allays my kotor with a chat box fears a little, but I still want to see more info forthcoming really.

[Mangala]

Seems to me fromt he interview that encounters with quest npcs of great import will be "phased" in that you can speak with npc and such alone without loads of other players getting in the way, based on how far along a stroyline/quest you may be.

So instancing in a random way, but not in the way we all believe.

Just want more info now is all :S

[Keggi]

bioware are very tight lipped about everything it seems but things do leak from them now and again.


no official word on the jedi and sith classes but everybody knows they are in as playable.

no word on closed beta but a slip occured that said it was close(depends on the defenition of close) the community manager let slip it was soon somebody asked how soon is soon the reply was the near future lol.

[Gorphin]

sounds like its a role playing game, with single player action, and the only time you would see other people would be in the canteens and auction house, and generally around citys, but all quests are instanced to just you. Sounds dull.

[Keggi]

my take on the quests from the interview is that you phase out of the game world and into a instanced world for class specific quests and that you can group for the other types of quests or thats what i hope.

New PC Gamer says Sith/Jedi are essentially WoW Rogues. They build up "action points" by using abilities and then fire off finishing moves. Some originality would've been nice, but I guess it might work out just fine. No word on whether or not they heal/tank.

[Caradir]

id imagine Jedi can heal buff etc as that really goes with the lore, where as sith would use more damaging abilities, chokes, lightning whilst both can look after themselves with a saber, mind you they could use a skill tree system i suppose but meh i guess its a wait and see.
