I don't know whether I want to roll a Scoundrel, Gunslinger or Shadow at launch. They're all fun as hell but this game is going to require a serious effort towards one character

This weekend I leveled a Smuggler, Mercenary and Juggernaut to level 20. My thoughts on the game so far:

Amazing quest system. Story driven quests instead of "go here and kill 30 of these" makes you become fully immersed in the story instead of mindlessly grinding monsters for experience.

Bonus missions in most quests for bonus experience? Awesome.

The companion system is awesome. As a Mercenary, both Mako (my companion) and myself could heal and dish out damage. Brilliant design.

Heroic quests are very in depth and entertaining. Instead of being sent somewhere to kill 1 monster thats Elite and go get your reward, you basically take on a mission involving several steps that end in a boss kill.

PVP seems a little broken at the moment. I'm not sure if it was just a bunch of people new to MMOs or what, but I destroyed -everything- that came near me on my Mercenary. Of course this is only level 20 PVP, but unless I was chain CC'd I could solo 2-3 people no problem.

The storyline is very good. I enjoyed probably the Bounty Hunter/Mercenary the most, and the Sith Juggernaut the least.

The graphics are good enough and make the game feel very KOTOR-y.

The arcade style mini game starship missions are entertaining and good to break up the monotony of chain questing.

All in all, for the first time ever I feel completely confident saying I have no desire to ever play World of Warcraft again. Bioware/EA has a loyal customer here.

I watched a youtube video the other day and got a nostalgic feeling when the person started interacting with their interface.. it took me back to the days of when I started on SWG and the interface was really high tech and complex, and gave you that futuristic feel that something star wars related should be.

I love the UI, perfect blend of minimalist and style.

game looks like shit imo

the space combat is pretty awesome and being able to upgrade ship to and btw wasnt beta more xp? could be wrong tho

yeah this is true, my friend leveled solo to 50 with quests, but he did as fast as possible (since the guild gave him a deadline and all). He also skipped all the cut scenes and dialoges, if you dont do that it will take a lot longer. Im just saying if you rush, its pretty fast. But i wont rush for sure i loved reading all the dialoges and stuff in mass effect and ill do the same in swtor [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
