My laptop meets the minimum requirements listed for SWTOR, but it doesn't actually run well enough to be playable. I have instead been playing on my sister's computer, but she recently surprised everyone with her intention of moving halfway across the country in spring. There are no other computers in the house that will run SWTOR. So if I am to continue playing the game I waited for for five years, I will need a new computer. So here's the question: How much will a computer capable of running SWTOR (well enough to actually play) cost? Also, since apparently the minimum requirements are not enough, what would the recommended requirements be? If anyone has any tips on how to save money here, please share. My only income is the charity of my parents and getting a job is not an option.

I have to agree with Evray here... on pretty much everything, which is convenient because that means I don't have to type it all out myself. You're not wrong, Dunzo, just not very convincing, and not at all due to a lack of essays.

I agree that cyborgs could stand to be other races. But your complaint that the species look too human? Uh, they look the same as they've always looked. They didn't invent these species, guys, nor did they alter their appearances. As for why they're all humanlike, I remember a dev comment that that was because of the potential romance arcs. They didn't want something distinctly very different from humans to do the dirty.

You would still be limited by your own Force powers; you can't just keep casting indefinitely. That aside, what you described... actually sounds kind of inefficient against any but stupidest opponent. If a skill on one spec is nearly identical to a skill on another spec, they could just have the second one greyed out with the implication that you already have it.

I would welcome duel specs with open arms and a "What took you?" I was so torn upon realizing that my RP character Rialla could not be a sneaky sort of healer. Her real, in-character methods cannot be used ingame, and that... detracts from her character significantly, as the reasoning behind her methods runs a little deeper than most would realize and actually says quite a lot about her. As it is, the closest I can get is... DPS. That's it. Bleh. But I think you should have to earn the chance to duel-spec, like, first you have to reach the sixth tier in one of you skill branches, or reach level 35, or something like that. For those of you that are worried about duel-speced people having some sort of unfair advantage--which is the only remotely logical reason someone would protest--please consider. You have a set number of skill points. The skill trees were designed with that in mind. If you were to suddenly have a new skill tree, but no new skill points... do you see where I'm going with this? Jack of all trades, master of none; journeyman of two trades, master of neither. They would be no more powerful. They would, however, have the opportunity to be a lot more creative in their fighting style... and isn't that something Bioware promised us we'd have?
