David Silverman, Director of Marketing sits down with Casey Hudson, Executive Producer for Mass Effect 3 and Dallas Dickinson, Director of Production for Star Wars: The Old Republic to take questions from you, the fans.  Excellent Q&A for both games.  SWTOR Highlights:

• “Current plan” is yes, friends can still visit you on your ship.
• You will be able to converse with your companions on your ship, as in KOTOR.  Your ship has a holoterminal to receive calls.
• Light and Dark points matter.  Tiered gear will be available depending on your score.  Certain abilities will be unlocked in your skill tree.
