The Sith Warrior quest line is excellent. Darth Baras voice actor really fits the character. The Tatooine part is god damned awesome.

Worst so far would be Nar Shadaa (dunno if thats the right name. The Hutt-city.). It wasnt bad (far from it), but the city itself could use more life and not feel so sterile. Probably the limited graphics not setting the proper atmosphere.

Havnt encountered a queue as of yet and the lag spikes have been so short and few I hardly even notice. Then again, I rolled on a server that was 2 hours old on the 2nd day of the pre-release (it was only "very heavy" in server load).

Heres hoping the, err, regular release (dunno what it should be called) wont screw that up.

I played WoW from vanilla to just before Firelands got released and the quests I enjoyed the most from that game was to Take a dump outside some hut in Wotlk (you ate some apples or sth). I doubt I read a single quest text and quite frankly I didnt give a shit, I played the game for the social aspect while having enjoyment from butchering mob and player alike.

I tried Riften. I still dont got a god damned clue why there were tentacles from the sky all over. Got some vague memory of gods or something. Alright wow-clone in every aspect.

SWTOR combat is kind of similar to wow. That isnt a bad thing necessarily. Its fluent and itll get a bit more fun when you utilize it fully. The big difference is that I care about the story (no, Im no Star Wars-freak. Ive seen the three first movies and thats it.). I care about the quests. Its presented in a great way. Hell, I dont even notice quests are retrival quests (but then again, cant you include pretty much anything into that category?) as the retrival is secondary. The reward is the story. As someone wrote, the writing is better than Skyrim and the side quests are way less obvious (Damn Jarl, you got alot of bounties and the Jarl of Winterhold sure got alot of ancient helmets scattered over Skyrim!).

The Queen might get her way because she doesnt sit in her throne like a silly teenager.

Anybody seriously considering this needs to be hit in the face with reality. Or a spider. Or a Reality Spider.

Or a bear.

Being afraid of spiders but not bears seems pretty backwards to me.

Good thing you are such a scholar when it comes to phobias (which happens to be first and foremost a pathological definition). its not being afraid, its being terrified to the point where its irrational: such as agoraphobia, claustrophobia, arachnophobia and last, but not least the phobia somewhere in Asia where dudes are scared that their dick might grow inwards and impaling them (it has some fancy name, but Ive forgotten it).

I hate spiders, they freak me right the fuck out. The times Ive read lotr Ive almost shit my pants during Shelob. I havnt seen the scenes with the Shelob in the movie. I got goosebumps when fighting the hairy fuckers in WoW. I read this thread with my hand over the screen as I knew someone would post spider images. I will learn myself to mod Skyrim in order to switch that motherfucking spider to basically anything.

I am phobic.

  There could have been an option to toggle crouch on and off, but i never bothered looking.
 

I didnt read this article, but is it certain that SP will require a connection? It seems to be a weird choice and something that has been misquoted or badly formulated by the Blizzard rep.
 
Whats more worrying is what this DRM will do as it obviously isnt to try to hinder piracy (big mainstream MP-games havnt been cracked for online play for some time. Cant even remember the last one that had that problem. Cracked servers in CoD4 perhaps?) Anyway, the reason is most likely this AH for real cash. So what will the DRM do to protect my imaginary cash? Delete robbers.dll? Check if I click that moose that wants my credit card number? Send a tactical warhead on the Prince of Nigera who just wants me to wire some collateral so I can get half his Kingdom and 50000000 euros? Or just another DRM that send some info on me to Blizzard and check file integrity?
