Episode 34: A Long, Long Time Ago…They Announced SWTOR

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.

Not only that, but we also get part one of a two-part blog by William Wallace about Companion Characters. Some of the juiciest bits of that blog are a look into companion abilities/roles and a confirmation of companion customization.

For decades developers confined themselves to the idea that video games, like films and novels, could tell only a single story in a single way. But then morality became a consideration, and the basic construct of narrative was changed in a way that no other medium could accomplish.

By allowing players to have moral judgments in games, developers began changing the very structure of the narrative in video games.
