This game was released at the perfect time: when i was fed up with wow. My favorite character was the bounty hunter of course.

[@keldor8302]

Same on both accounts. This game was my haven away from Cata and Pandaland that lead WoW down the path to ruin.

[@cRobin1375]

As much as I love this game, it is well known that #25 is incorrect. Knights of the Old Republic was the first to introduce a same sex romance option in the form of Juhani the Cathar Jedi Padawan. In KOTOR the only way to trigger her romance is to play a female main character.

Huttball looks like so much fun! I definitely need to check it out.

[@IllusiveMoose03]

I've had a lot of fun memories with Huttball. For a while I only played support for whoever was running the ball, but after a while I decided going for the ball and scored a lot. Don't be afraid to go for the ball and pass to teammates!

[@MitGibs]

The Lego sets were something I didn't know about, thanks for that. I did a quick search on Ebay and.. oh my days... thanks for that!

[@DukeFavre]

I'm not crying. There's something in my eye. **UNLIMITED POWER**

[@williambryant3417]

Here's a cool fact; when the inquisitor/consular got the phase walk agility, the one that you place and can teleport back to. Assassins could use it and it was broken in huttball. You could place it at the enemy goal post and teleport back to it holding the ball and the game would register it as a goal initially.

[@keldor8302]

The beginning of the end was that EA bought rights to the HEROEngine before the people making it had it finished. They walked by their small booth at a convention and decided to throw the engine at Bioware to make the game. As Bioware's home-brew engine at the time wouldn't work for an MMO. And they were going to make a new engine from scratch. Which would delay the games production. Because the engine wasn't finished. The toolset's Bioware made for it would break every time the engine was updated. The reason why it's so modified was because Bioware needed functionality the engine didn't support (yet). So they'd have to make it. And then constantly recode it when the shit broke on updates. It was so bad, that EA paid the people who made the engine to work with Bioware while they finished developing the engine. So they could test the engine changes before implementing them. To help mitigate breaking the toolset and mods. That's why the planets were small, the engine is janky as hell, and performance sucks ass even to this day. When you compare it to ESO. The game was doomed before it was ever released. As they spent considerable amount of time and money fighting with that engine and the mods with every piece of content released. Oh, and they spent too much money on advertising the game to "kill WoW". When half of that should have been used to fund more development to fix the engine before launch.

[@AzureRoxe]

Take a shot for every time he says KotAr, Knights of the Anal Republic? Also the Saber-locking comes from KOTOR, where if you and the enemy fight with melee weapons, they have entire fights animated with parries, blocks, kicks and many more.

[@JankyToe]

101. There's a reason why they throw artifact/adaptive gear at you, despite being F2P without authori$ation. 102. There's also a reason why the Cartel Market subtly obfuscates the price of gameplay unlocks. 103. You have to pay to hide your helmet. 104. You used to have to pay to "sprint".

I wonder if Swtor is going down the Rift root.

[@MarineCARMINE]

SWTOR is the best MMO imo. Yeah it's not as group oriented as most MMO's but it is the only MMO out there that has multiple 10/10 stories that you can replay over and over again. Can't really say that about WoW or FF. The only problem with SWTOR is the lack of endgame content. Which is easy to fix but I doubt it will happen.

[@haberak3310]

Lack of content, and (at this point) what content on the mmo side there is is horribly mismanaged. From the start of Knights on, the only expansions where I've seen people enjoy gearing was Onslaught. Every other time was completely over-engineered.

Which class should I play for the story? I have no interest in endgame. I intend on running an agent regardless but am thinking of having a second character. Which other classes have great storylines?

[@arvillawolfe6770]

All of them, they are different and good, especially if you aren't interested in endgame. Pick one and just go!!

[@haberak3310]

Run all at some point, but if you want a traditional quintessential Star Wars story, go for the knight. If don't want to be a main character jedi (ie, perform the typical duties of a jedi without the heroic dramatics), go for the consular. If you have a soldier fantasy, especially if you want to be a spec ops soldier, go trooper. If Han Solo speaks to you, go smuggler. If you want to be a SITH lord, go warrior. If you want to be a sith LORD, go inquisitor. And if the first couple seasons of the Mandalorian got your imagination going, you'll have fun with the Bounty Hunter. With all that said, my only recommendation is if you do the Consular, do a female; the male's voice acting is dryer than the Mojave during a drought.

[@Kirill_Fedorov1970]

Imperial side, Imperial agent is brilliant story

[@Roggie249]

Things you didn't know: The release date? That's just weak to put on here.

[@IllusiveMoose03]

SWTOR has Star Wars' best soundtrack, except for John Williams' soundtracks.

[@tawnos1787]

The Consular story was fine, the worst story is definitely either the Smuggler or Republic Soldier. And Huttball is the best PvP battleground ever conceived in any MMO. Remember, do *not* kick the ball! Hutts don't have feet!

[@pandamaster1138]

[@cosmicz3ro]

My forever home MMO! I might not play it as much anymore but whenever I do return to check stuff out I'm always brought to tears (pure joy)! I've so many memories, but my fondest are the hours before launch and during launch and the UTTER chaos on the forums with the "LET ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts. Those were so fun! :)

[@ttabood7462]

I hated huttball. I stopped queueing for pvp because of it. I loved all the other pvp zones.

[@donpena1096]

I seriously don't get people who say this game didn't go well or could have done better, this shits been around since 2011, and is literally the best star wars game ever. It's the only game that made you feel like you actually were a part of the star wars universe. And authentic enough where you felt this is what the ancient sith n jedi were. Every other game had a element of this but weather or was battle front which just call of duty with a star wars paint job or force unleashed or fallen jedi which are cool but doesn't have the freedom to be your own character and create your own path, swtor beats them all over all. Sure some might be more modern n have better graphics but none come close to the feel of swtor.

[@JOHANHANNES99]

Nixxiom I must add that KOTOR 1 actually have the first same sex romance option with Juhani

I do not agree with those grades. I am not a huge fan of Shadow of Revan, because I think they did Revan dirty, they should have ended his story with the Foundry. none of the expansions deserve an A let alone an S. I would give RotHC a B, SoR a C, KotFE and KotET a B, Onslaught a D and same with LotS. No expansion fails outright and none is fantastic, they are all ok to great in my opinion. I do want that Lego Fury-Class Imperial Interceptor now, I love that star ship, I wanna build it and hand it gtom the roof of this room

The way he says KOTOR "kotar" is infuriating. Especially when saying SWTOR perfectly right after...

Many people in Broadsword, were previous developers under Bioware back in the day, some left Bioware around 2015, and joined Broadsword, so again they have SWTOR also with whole actual swtor team who develop game now, under them. So i wouldnt be such extremely skeptical.@@ReveredDead

I love add-ons. As long as I'm playing the game why do they care? I understand not allowing creation of add-ons that will take away gameplay or decision making but I just like the ability to modify my UI to a crazy degree and I like the option to have additional information available to me in a more convenient way (like add-ons that mark NPC locations, upcoming talents (without having to be at a trainer).... stuff like that. Nothing that automates anything just ones that remove the need for wikis and stuff.

[@haberak3310]

Aside from maybe rp add-ons for backstories and such (like mrp or trp for WoW), I don't think there are any add-ons that you could make for SWTOR that wouldn't end up trivializing the game. There's already a ton of customization and convenience built-in

[@Theinen84]

Umm.... what? #68? Bounty Hunter? Who? Who gave you this false information? Male Sith Warrior is the one rightfully praised all the time by everyone.

[@sagichdochned]

All nice to see all this rolled out as a Veteran Player but at the end this facts and features are all meaningless and are only a "waste of time" in my opinion because it's a half dead game content wise. And the Content is a joke the new "expecks" only have 30m-1h Story in it and after that its the same thing over and over again for over 1-2 years :s I have a little bit hope that with Broadsword this Game get a new life with content and awakes from the Coma but this is a 0,1% chance :/
