Really liking this interviews.  Off the beaten path questions, which are bringing out new details.  Good work Brad.

EDIT:  Commented as I was watching and cracked up at the end.

I get the impression Bioware really hasn't talked about a lot of aspects of the game yet hah. Obviously it's still pretty early but some really good questions were asked.

Poor Brad is is now one with the force.

I can't speak for other people ... but this interview excited me about as much as my wang in a car door. Which is to say, not a lot.

Yea I thought I was done with MMO's too but a Star Wars MMO being done by Bioware is going to change that I think.

Also great ending.

I don't blame Brad but that interview seemed chocka-block full of zero details. If it's too soon for them to give the info we want fine, just don't do interviews.

Sounds like they're going to try for FULL voices for all npcs and characters. Which would be different than Everquest II which only had full voices for the first 10 levels or so then, as you went along...you ran into less and less NPCs with voices. Basically only major characters got the voices after a while.


Hopefully the game will cool. I also hope that it will be game where my friends and I can play together regardless of levels or whatever. I hate when I friend logs on and we can't do anything together because he's  level 22 and I'm level 30. That mechanic bugs the crap out of me.

yea not an impressive interview in terms of what it tells you about the game itself. im still way more interested in finding out what exactly theyre planning on doing with the whole Revan storyline, cause im going to be pretty upset if they just tell you what happened to Revan during quets in TOR. Id much rather play through the end Revan's arc than learn about it in an MMO

Too much "we're not talking about that right now."  They're making a huge mistake getting people hyped up for this game so early in it's development cycle.

I've got full confidence that Bioware will integrate a great storyline experience. What I want to know now is how will the 'MMO' gameplay be? Will it have all the complexities and depth that WoW has? (Mount, professions/craftable items, instances from level 1 throughout the max level with raids at max level, different factions to gain reputation with, etc, etc)

In general I find MMOs completely unappealing, whereas I love single-player RPGs, but I have to say this sounds like it's gonna be exactly what I would want out of an MMO

Great interview again Brad. I was hoping you'd ask about the specs for the game. I just wish they would of given a little more info about that but I'm sure my system will run SW:OR pretty well.

I just hope they can deliver on all the promises. They're trying to do something different, which is great, but I fear some of stuff is going to end up thrown to the trash "we couldn't get it to work, so we copied WoW."
