ben is travelling with him so that anytime they need to put ben in danger to hold luke back, they can. Sadly Ben skywalker is a plot device. Notice how often he gets luke in the bad situations in the first place, because luke is considered too wise to get there himself.
I just read the entire article on the Sith Empire of TOR, and its existence in the mythos sounds pretty good, in theory. I like how it ties in with the Mandalorian War and the Jedi Civil War.
Operative term being "in theory", as the execution, I predict/have seen in trailers is nothing short of f*cking plagiarism.

The writers could have been and definitely need to be (in the future) more original in terms of the Empire's design, but I like the mythology behind it.
This thread went somewhere horrible in my absence.

I still doubt TOR will be interesting in terms of storyline. I'm sure that several missions or "Flashpoints" may have good storylines on their own but I don't think all of them will be connected in a way that events in KOTOR are connected. This will be the main problem.
Also, being forced to work with 3 others, being forced into a role and having to win a dice roll to be able to talk just isn't appealing.
