FanSite Summit: Kathy’s Bounty Hunter & Smuggler Hands-On

May 022011

The Fansite Summit was the first time I got to play an origin world. We were given the choice of playing either a Bounty Hunter or an Imperial Agent. Since Carla picked the Agent, I went with the BH.

In a nutshell, I really enjoyed the game. Playing Star Wars: The Old Republic feels like playing a major MMO, but with a much more enjoyable and engaging leveling experience. It’s hard to convey how much that does change the whole gameplay experience. Continue reading »

There will be a combat log players can look at out of game.
New playable species? MMmmmaybe.
No third party add ons at release.

More highlights plus Georg’s reaction to our Yes/No/Pass game after the jump Continue reading »

FanSite Summit: Writers Q&A

Apr 292011

After lunch (all kinds of BBQ), the BioWare writing team visited us for a Q&A session. They mostly talked about their craft, the parts of the game they’re working on, but we got some interesting tidbits:

There is no in-game feature for player to player marriage.
What about player to companion marriage? Daniel said, “That one is still in the possibility camp.” Continue reading »

FanSite Summit Recap, Part 2, Morning: Studio Tour, Dev Q&As

Lobby, BioWare

Monday arrived, gray and drizzly, but that did little to dampen our excitement over what the day had in store. After breakfast Carla and I gathered our things and left the hotel for BioWare.

But first, a brief recap of three conversations I had with Carla: Continue reading »
