The thing about MMO is I have absolutely zero interest in interacting with other players online. I don't want to have to rely on somebody to complete a crucial quest, nor do I want somebody else to feel reliant upon me. Having a crew of NPCs that I control (like Dragon Age) is fine, but other than that, no thanks.
The only time I ever played on line was Star Wars Battlefront II, and the only thing I did was fly a fighter. I didn't do anything dickish like shoot down my own teammates, but I certainly didn't give a crap when they died. Eventually I quit playing because I got sick of the morons who would wait by the spawn points and kill you before you could get to a ship. Douchebags. |

You know how social I am... I'm in a huge guild in LotRO, but I only have a handful of friends I ever really do things with. I can do larger stuff if I want to, since I'm in a big raiding guild, but I've never really been forced to do anything I didn't want. 99% of the time I don't even pay attention to the guild's chat channel. I played that way in WoW, and Star Wars: Galaxies and even EverQuest. It's really possible to be anti-social in an MMO. I'm not in beta, so I can't say for sure, but group size in TOR appears to be 4 players, rather than the traditional 6. And the game is supposedly being designed so that you can do each class story (we're talking 200 hours of content here x 8 classes - this is why they say it's KotOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) completely solo. Some of the world arcs require quests, but my guess is if you ever decide to try it, you'll discover that you can be as curmudgeonly as you like. |

Back to Skyrim...
Those combat changes look really interesting. I like the idea of skillsets being dropped and the entire system being an organic level by use setup. Although it does make one wonder how it will be balanced. As in, if I'm so moved, can I work on everything and be some uberterminator sword/staff/stealth/dagger/shield/bow/spell wielding freak. |

I remember in morrowind putting my character in a corner, taping the run key down and going afk so a skill would raise.

I hope the new game engine works well. The gamebryo one that Bethesda has used since Morrowind is due for a long, welcome retirement.

Unless it's an action game there's no way TOR can be that awesome. Best SW game of all time remains the Jedi Knight series.

Not sure how to post link, but a new gameplay vid was just released for ES5 Skyrim...oh and the best Star Wars game is Knights of the Old Republic for the old school Xbox...hands down.

It's good for a turn-based RPG, but it's not an action game...so it can't be the best SW game.

KotOR blows every star wars game ever made completely away.
As far as TOR goes, I haven't played it so I can't comment. But it wouldn't surprise me if it's that good. BioWare has come a long way from KotOR when it comes to making cinematic games. |

I couldn't get into Oblivion because of the first person aspect and horrible third person views. I get nauseous in first person games...
