Is anyone interested in Star Wars the Old Republic?

One thousand years ago, the planet Athiss held the sanctum of Vodal Kressh, greatest of the Sith alchemists.
Vodal was a mad savant, who bred a race of slaves devoted to his glory. His hunger and spite were endless, and when he died, the Emperor declared Athiss forbidden.

Yeah, all the flashpoints are ****in awesome.

Well that download didn't go as expected.

Problem?

Download both to Winzip and they should automatically combine after a while. From there extract and view.

Republic bias? The Grand Master pre-Satele was killed by a Bounty Hunter, half the Council already died and more dies during the game, and Revan was defeated by 4 randoms.

It got to 99% extraction and failed. I was... displeased.

Comparatively nearly every named Sith Lord is killed in the game by Republic/Imperial players while Satele, the Republic's poster child, remains untounched.

Wow that sucks.

Spoiler:

The more spoilers I read here, the more I realize how fvcked up this game's plot is, especially in regards to who gets killed.

Have you been successful yet Turr?

Two things: One, Dark Horse's writing staff impresses me more than Bioware's.

Two, it sounds like the Sith Emperor is a prep god, doing all kinds of stuff with rituals, but may be kinda naff personally, at least compared to his prep power.

I thought Bioware would do a great job with the plot; however, they fvcked up continuity and a lot of elements from KOTOR.

I'm still going to wait and see personally.

..... if I can get abetter computer that is. ¬_¬

I'm actually really excited about what I've seen. Yes I have a few problems. These are what they did to Revan, having the Emperor be way OPed, and the Republic Bias. Countinuity problems have truthfully never bothered me so I eagerly anticipate playing through with my Agent and Knight.

I too am really looking forward to playing it if I can. The Continuity problems and Revan stuff don't bother m-.... well they do, but not enough to not want to play.

Reading through I find it ironic that the Sith Warrior has a much 'nicer' and more human romance than the Jedi Knight.

Jedi Knight romance: Lets do it behind everyones back so naughty teehee.

Sith Warrior: I would never let anyone hurt my girl (actual line).

D'awwww. 😍

Also the SW romance is surprisingly... sweet.

Thats a fail. Not that I'm surprised. My netbook can barely play games from 2004 (Rome: Total War).

I'm tempted to play SW just for Vette.

I still can't fathom the concept that the sith spent 20 years coordinating hyperspace jumps until they found dromund kaas. Even in the realm of star wars, that's unlikely, impossible even.

See, that's the thing.

It's because of KOTOR and its incredible success and critical reception that Bioware gained greater reputation and was able to produce the Old Republic MMORPG.

The least the company can do is pay homage to the game, not, amongst other things, take its beloved iconic protagonist and turn him into some mid-level chump for random Sith spacers.

And the Sith concept of romance shouldn't be better than that of a Jedi's. It doesn't make absolutely no sense. At least have the Sith redeem into a Jedi if that's the case (like y'know Vader or Bastila)

Dude, after reading the class stories I have realized that they are hardly random. These characters we are playing as become the elite. Massive Spoilers BTW: The SI becomes a Dark Lord on the Council, the SW becomes the Empire's mightest champion and kills the one responsible for "trapping" the Emperor, the BH appears to have a chance to kill the Supreme Chancelor, and the Agent is just god damn amazing.

The SW romance dialogue is interesting, because in my head, I'm picturing some dude toatin about in evil spikes, looking nasty with a red saber, chokin fools with Force Grip . . . oh and falling in love with a Twilek chick that sounds like Buffy.
