| Quote: | | Nichols agreed that having strong dramatic underpinning is what will set the Old Republic apart from competitors such as World of Warcraft. "What's really missing [in other MMOs] is context--why you're doing all these missions, why you're on this quest, why you're out killing 10 wolves," he asserted. "So story puts that in the context, and gives you a much more immersive experience where you're really building a stronger relationship with your online character than you would without it." |
I am so *crag* excited right now. BioWare says that this will be bigger than all of their other games combined, including Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Kotor 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, and all of the expansions.
| Quote: | | "One of the things we like to joke about is just the sheer amount of content we're doing," Ohlen mused. "Our fans ask, 'Why aren't you doing Knights of the Old Republic 3?' What we're really doing is Knights of the Old Republic 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12-plus. We have that much content and that many stories...We really get to do a lot of things we really wouldn't get to do in [a] KOTOR 3." |
I can't even type right now. Like in the original KOTORs, you'll have companions to adventure with. You can talk to your allies and build up unique relationships with them... and if you piss them off enough, your companions will leave your ass.
They're emphasizing on the "4th Pillar" that's drastically missing from every MMO out there at the moment - story progression. And I mean that instead of just doing quests for no reason, you're given reasons to do quests. It isn't split into the basic 2 faction war, it's also good and evil. These aren't the same thing, and you can be a good guy in an evil place in the Empire or a bad guy trying to *crag* everything up in the Republic.
And HK-47 is coming back, as seen in the little cardboard cutout in the background of the video. *crag* YEAH MEATBAGS |

A new MMO from the Star Wars universe?
A replacement for SWG?

Not a replacement, but hopefully something to get our minds off of that piece of shit with something new and shiny. |

If there's no monthly fee, then I'm definitely gonna try it. I've been a big fan of the KOTOR series for a while now.*strokes metaphorical beard* |

Haven't said. If there isn't one, I am going to freak out so badly and buy 40 copies on launch day. |

If I can be a droid, I'd want to be like HK-47. :3 If not him, then I'd settle for a droid like a Droideka. Regardless of droids, I'd actually avoid being a Jedi as they are not the only thing that the Star Wars universe has to offer. |
