Holy crap.

I was about to post that...

[Hans-Erik]

I like to post stuff first. It makes me feel important. :)

[Verden Fel]

The multiplayer dialogue system looks intriguing.

[A'den Kyr'amur]

EEK! I love E3!

[Hans-Erik]

That's what interested me the most.

[TariQari]

Yeah sounds good...but I'm just curious to how they are dealing with multiple people experiencing the same missions. Unfortunately, the more linear the game is the less 'realistic' from a story PoV. How many people will be working for that same Hutt trying to leave the planet for whatever reason? Does the Hutt have an infinite amount of money to be paying people? If they killed that captain of that ship, that means he's really dead right? I mean, some other people won't be able to come along and initiate the same mission to kill the same captain right?

Lol my hopes are still high to see if they got around this or not.

Me pregunto si te gusta icegloos con Mantequilla de Cacahuate en sus caballos

I wonder if you like icegloos with PeanutButter on their horses

No, I don't.

Was this suppose to be a video of actual gameplay? or an article? Cause it looks to me like you just posted the TOR cinematic over again.. :p

Heh....read the article ;)

[Hans-Erik]

...did you read the page? Did you even scroll down? Bloody hell. :mad:

[A'den Kyr'amur]

Nice! Dual wielding lightsabers! I want to see some jedi fights though. I want to see if the only time when the game actually shows you hitting the person that thats the killing blow, and the normal damaging strikes could be when they hit the lightsaber.

[Heimdall Surtr]

After reading it completely, it seems more and more likely that Mandalorians WILL be interlinked with the Sith, more specifically the Bounty Hunters. They mention the "Great Hunt," and interaction with Mandalorians as part of the BH quest line.

[Hans-Erik]

I noticed that too, but it didn't worry me too much.

Well, theoretically the best way to do it is to have different Hutts to do it (or different Captains). The problem is, it's hard to come up with that many names. For the Hutt, though, you could just say his income is big enough to be able to afford to send a lot BH's off planet each month.

[Rynech Viatl]

Or, some of the most important decisions to make a instanced, which would make sense, but I don't like that idea at all.

There was this problem in every single other MMO as well, however it was "Kill X pigs so they stop eating my plants" rather than an epic story. Also, BioWare has stated that each class alone will have the content of an entire game that they'd made in the past, and there would be countless choices that send your storyline off on another path, so I don't think there's too much to worry about people having the same stories or doing the exact same things. Also, the fact that you can do a quest with a group and go through the decisions as a group means that you can RP doing the whole thing together, rather than just "Oh, I just killed the dragon that you killed an hour ago!"

Yeah, I agree. Each class quest line will be massive. In KotOR 2 alone I had trouble doing the same thing (for everything) twice.

[Heimdall Surtr]

I haven't heard any information on endgame content though. I think we all have faith that BioWare will make an absolutely awesome game story wise until we have level our characters up. What remains to be seen is what they do once we reach end game.

[Hans-Erik]

I say as soon as you beat the game, your character dies in a horrible accident and you're forced to start anew.

Just kidding.

[Darim Valen]

Mmh.. real beauty!

[Tracyn]

The fact that BH first quest is directly related to a Mandalorian tradition says alot... *sniif*

Fallout 3 anyone?

[Norko]

holy **** that preview is awesome:)
can't wait to see the full demo, I really like to know how the party dialogue works:D

[Triso Telex]

The thing that really strikes my attention is "The Great Hunt" which is a contest to see what bounty hunter can land the greatest prize. Now a event held by the Mandalorians would more then likely be held on there home world of Mandalore, which now has me thinking to a pretty good degree that Mandalore will be a planet you are able to vist.

I hadn't thought of that. It would be really kickass if they included that, but only if other people could go to that planet too. Only Bounty Hunters on Manda'yaim would be really lame

Yeah thats scaring me a bit also.

[Rasst Alckar]

Did anyone else catch the tid-bit in there about being a bounty hunter but capable of getting lightside points?

This has me very excited about the game. If we do have to go Empire, I may not have a problem with that.

They already said you can have a dark Jedi serving the Republic or a light Jedi serving the Sith. It was implied earlier. But yeah, it is nice to have confirmation.
