Fuck the good/evil scale. Bioware needs to get out of device like the Zelda team needs to get out of using the dark/light world mechanic

Don't think they can do that. The good/evil scale is the heart of their role-playing experience. It's shallow, but it's all they got because I seriously doubt this game will have anything beyond a little bar that represents their choices.

does anyone (especially the mass market) really care about a game set a thousand years before Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, etc?

 

[Sol..]

I'll play it if it hits 360 and allows for 360/PC cross platform play.

Serious question. Why do people want console/PC crossplay?

More people to play with?

Would be great if they could pull it off... I don't see why they couldn't.... FFXI runs across 3 (4 if you count the ps3) platforms.

They should at least introduce neutral. And none of the color code dialogue choices like ME either

It now looks like KOTOR meets WOW, which is a big step up from the previous Clone Wars meets WOW look the previous screens suggested.

I'm sure there will be something of the sort. Otherwise why expect anything other than the obvious? A Jedi fights for the Republic and stands for good...a Dark Jedi fights for the Sith Empire and is evil. Surprising no? :lol

They need to fix the empty, lifeless feeling present in the screens.

As KotOR II showed us, that doesnt have to be the case.

So it's another WoW clone? Yes, storytelling - that's nice. But still ... Bioware, seriously guys, take a look at CCP's work sometime and learn a bit about what a MMO can actually do when handled properly.

Friggin hell, GAF. This place just simmers with hatred for MMOs. Such idiocy.

I’d like a mmo with an awesome dynamic world, of course it would be a griefer’s paradise at a 20,000 players per server setting, but at least it would be exciting.

In all the MMO’s I’ve played (eq1, 2, A.O., Neocron, WoW, Conan (LOL!), LOTR (although its “books/chapters” system did help this complaint a bit) everyone is just a sign post giving out the same "loot item x off of mob y for npc z", or "take item x to zone y and person z", rinse repeat.....

I don’t know how it could be done, but almost make each person’s area/game their own, my geek fantasy would be an mmo (maybe not even massive, maybe just like 50 players per server, more like Diablo 2 / neverwinter / smaller groups etc) where its cyberpunk and the world is fully influenced by whatever you do, and if you want you can have friends "join" your world to take down "party required" content, or you could join theirs for co op ness, or even join a 3rd party hosted shard (think like fps community servers are run) and influence their world.

saw this new(?) video at j0ystiq today and didn't see it posted.. pretty cool making-of and lots of gameplay

It definitely has a very strong WoW feel to it, but I think thats a good thing. The visuals look really nice IMO

EVE. That's all I'm saying. EVE. If that's what you're wanting, that's the game you should be putting your money in. Every user on one shard. Players can truly affect the world they exist within. Ignore the bullshit questing though - that's not what the game is about. It's about PvP and player cooperation, in business, in territorial control, in wartime.

In other words, it's the most awesome MMO ever made and you should be playing it.
