Star Wars: The Old Republic [KOTOR MMO]

I don't know... I always thought it would be cool to be a senator.

I think it could be fun, sure, but not in this sort of game. There's really no way it could work without being horribly unbalanced or just plain not fun.

There were a few Jedi politicians back then I believe, even a few Jedi Chancellors too.

I don't see what's wrong with having people fight for you, compare it to the Pokémon games, your HP is basically your pokemon's total HP, and you fight through them. Simply make the PokeTrainer ( Politician) unattackable and deem him defeat when his followers are down.

Except this is not even remotely like a Pokemon game. The comparison does not work at all. In Pokemon the entire system, from the base up, is built around doing that. Everyone is on the same playing field.

In a game that works the way games like this works, it is not an option that is viable. There are so many things wrong with it!

The concept of having others fight for you in itself is not that bad really, it worked certainly quite good with the Necromancer in Diablo 2. But having a politician with a bodyguard is something entirely different again and I am not sure how that could work, really.

It is indeed different, not like a minion creator, like a Necromancer.

As I say, though, the only person who used the word 'politician' was the person commenting, not Bioware, so probably not worth jumping to conclusions.

IGN has a whole bunch of new stuff on the game:

First Details
http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/922/922115p1.html

Story Details
http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/922/922656p1.html

Art Direction
http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/923/923056p1.html

No release date, or even speculation on release date yet. They also say in one of those links theres enough content in the game to cover KOTOR #3-#9 or something. So it should be huge.

Maybe the thread could be renamed Star Wars - The Old Republic MMO? Also theres a thread on page 2 I think, maybe merge?

Ok, sir... What did you do with Nac?

Oh man...the art style. Not like BioWare to make such a crappy looking game. A stylized art direction might look good for WoW, but not SW. SW is going to look like every other MMO on the market, sad (Well, with the exception of Huxley). The gameplay and story better be above excellent, or I won't even consider buying this game.

I wonder who's going to do the score for the MMO. I hope it's Jeremy Soule. His music was a perfect fit for KoToR.

I have faith in Bioware's abilities. They haven't let us down yet.

Well, depends on what sort of games you like, really; I'm not a fan of their stuff.

Anyway, short article on this in the new Game Informer. Doesn't really say much though.

Why do you come in simply to bash opinions?

Um, sharing my own opinion that happens to differ from yours is bashing opinions?

I apologize to inform you of this fact but sometimes people will have different opinions!

Wait a minute. Bioware's making this game? It shouldn't be that bad because they're the ones that made Mass Effect and that game's awesome. I don't see how Bioware's gonna fail at this.

You don't even give a reason. I have no problems with a different opinion. But an opinion that just says "I don't like something," just to kill someones joy/interest is kinda...cruel.

They wont. 😉 The IP is in good hands once again.

Well, it's an MMO.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now why I disliked KOTOR or Mass Effect.

My point is, not everyone thinks Bioware is perfect.

But please, tell us why you dont like them....
