It’s Wednesday.  Hello to all the CRR readers out there.  Welcome to Force Lore, your weekly dose of the who’s, the what’s, the when’s, and the why’s of the Star Wars Universe… Especially when it comes to anything dealing with the awesome MMO, The Old Republic.  In essence, we’re trying to be an out-of-game extension of the Datacrons found in-game.

This week, we’re looking at the last of the starting planets for the different classes found within Star Wars: The Old Republic.  Last, but not least, is the world of Nal Hutta, or as it’s known in the game, Hutta.  This is the starting area for the Imperial Agent and the Bounty Hunter, two of the classes for the Sith Empire.

I’m not going to lie.  I have procrastinated with this article all week long.  Partially because I’ve been enjoying the awesome weather that’s been abundant this last couple weeks.  But also because I’ve been working on custom content and writing for another project I have with my friend.  As my friend’s wife says to him, the same may apply to me: I only have enough room in the playroom in my head for so many toys at one time.  But, without further ado, let’s check out the biggest mobster planet in the game.  Follow me in after the jump!

Larry Everett Brings It

Roxanne couldn’t make it this episode, but we got Larry Everett (The Republic, Massively) to fill the third seat, which was great when we started our retrospective talk about following SWTOR because he’s been tracking this game since it was just a twinkle in BioWare’s eye. Bonus: three-minute blooper reel where Kathy cannot get through the outro.

FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales? This week’s challenge concerns companions, pre-ordering, and PvP.

Today marks the beginning of a new video series, “Choose Your Side.” The premiere video goes in-depth into the Jedi Knight and Bounty Hunter classes, focusing on their best tactics to use against one another. Not only that, but the video is also a good introduction to both characters in both story and combat functions. We also get a lot of new gameplay footage for each class, taken from scenes throughout the game. To see it for yourself, watch the video here.

[Editor's note: We'd like to welcome new Staff Writer Mark Pajor to the Corellian Run Radio team.  In his first piece for the site, Mark gives his impressions of the new Bounty Hunter armor video.]

The “style” part of the title may be debatable, but if you’ve been itching for one more (and possibly final) Bounty Hunter-specific trailer, you’ll be happy with today’s Progression trailer.  Even if you don’t care for the armor pieces, the variety of non-human enemies in this trailer is through the roof.

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 »
