Star Wars: The Old Republic Impressions

Star Wars: The Old Republic came out this week and with BioWare and EA behind it as well as a lot of hype, it was impossible for me to say no. Now that I've sunk over 50 hours in the game, I wanted to share my impressions and tell you what I like and dislike about the game.

I have also made a video which compares Star Wars: The Old Republic to none other than World of Warcraft. You can see that here:

Very good. You're better than IGN at this. I'll guess I'll have to save up for a new PC x_x. Is it possible to skip the voice acting when you're on your 2nd, 3rd, etc. characters (ie. like in Mass Effect 2).

@CaptainFailBoatz Thanks man! It means a lot! You might want to check out my SWTOR vs WoW video because it turns out that the game really loses its staying power after level 20.

To answer your question: you can skip dialogue by tapping spacebar. You're still required to choose dialogue options, since they are game-critical, but you don't have to listen to any voice acting if you don't want to.

I wish there was some sort of trial :(

I don't want to just blindly buy this game

[jleack]

@theNuclearscooby There will be at some point. I'll be doing a review later and hopefully that'll help you out.
