I choose the good side, the side that is avoiding this game. Actually I've had mild interest in this game from time to time, until I see another trailer that puts me back in the disinterested side.

I couldn't make heads or tails of what's supposed to be going on there. Perhaps that's the whole point?

For a MMORPG where you'll always be downloading all of the updates straight from the publisher, regardless of how you buy it?

I've never seen any other piece of software that people have such a weird cult-like devotion to.

I hope there is a deep PvP conversation system where you can just talk your enemies into letting you win.

i played it and had fun with it even though i have never really been a MMO guy.

The story really gives something to this game and i really can't wait to get back in and find out what happens to my character and companions.

Which is why i don't get why people play this and think it's a horrible game, it's functional, polished, the story is well written and the lines are delivered better than in most other games. If you want to play a MMO and/or like great (or at least good) storytelling, this is a game for you.

If you like shooting people in the face or action games, you should probably consider Batman or Battlefield 3 instead.

@Forum_User: Thank you, was waiting for someone else to mention this. It's getting almost console fanboyish now.

I think you hit the nail on the head: You've never really been a MMO guy.

This game seems like it hardly has any reason to even be a MMO, other than to charge a sub fee for it.

Let me guess: classes are going to be balanced around solo/arena small-scale ranked PVP.

I guess when you're putting all your money into marketing your product you can't really pay for animators to do anything more than stilted, utilitarian work.

Kinda weird how Jennifer Hale is playing both Satele Shan(decendent of Bastila) AND the female trooper. Maybe she sounds slightly different in each role.

I wasn't going to get this but I just pre-ordered it. Can't wait to play. This will be the first MMO I get deep into.

@Nevski: Ok, I just remember them saying it was delayed in september. I was registered at their site from day 1, I guess I'm not that lucky then.

I'm wondering when they are going to start the pre-order beta, since it's just under 2 months under the game is released.

Well, one of my posts actually was a joke, but I'm not sure which one you're replying to.

The combat in this game is not impressing at all. Makes me not care about this game anymore.
