Friday Update: Huttball Warzone!

Aug 192011

by Mark Pajor (follow @mpajor on Twitter)

Sometimes you grow tired of murdering people for the sake of the Republic or Empire. Sometimes you need a change of pace. Sometimes you want to murder people while playing sports, for fun and games! That’s why we have a new Warzone announced at GamesCom called Huttball, and a new Huttball trailer was just posted by Bioware. If you imagine what it would be like to play (American) Football if it was run my the Hutts, you have a pretty good idea of how it plays: get the ball across your opponents’ line while everyone tries to kill each other.

Mi Revan es Su Revan – From Game to Novel

Aug 162011

A look at the Star Wars Insider Revan novel excerpt, focusing on how Revan’s character will be handled in SWTOR and the novel.

by Mark Pajor (follow @mpajor on Twitter)

This article contains SPOILERS for the 2003 game Knights of the Old Republic.

Who is Revan? Everyone who has played KotOR (Knights of the Old Republic) has a different answer to that question. Like with Commander Shepard in Mass Effect and the Hero of Ferelden and Hawke in the Dragon Age games, Bioware’s interactive dialogue system lets the players define Revan in any way they please. How, then, can the non-interactive Revan novel satisfy every fan of KotOR? How can one defined character of a book convey the infinite possibilities of Revan? With the first excerpt of the Revan novel in Star Wars Insider magazine, perhaps our questions can be answered.

Plastic Surgery and Murder – Gain One Freedom, Lose Another

Strike me down and... oh wait, I'm a companion, you can't, lol.

On Bioware’s added companion customization and removed companion killing

by Mark Pajor (follow @mpajor on Twitter)

If you haven’t heard yet, a few big changes to the Companion system were announced at Comic-Con: you can customize their physical appearance, do some new things with their AI, and you can no longer kill them permanently through your story. All three of these things were responses to player feedback in testing, but it’s interesting to note that while the first two give the player a larger degree of freedom and flexibility, the last removes an option that several people were excited for. Why did these changes occur, and what does it mean for player freedom and choice?
