The sheer amount of VO in this game takes away from its intended novelty and it just becomes annoying. Too many cutscenes is a bad thing. I had thought game developers learned this back in the days of Final Fantasy on playstation 1.

What's ironic is they also (seemingly) spent around 90% of their development resources on overdoing something that's going to end up costing the game more than its worth.
Excellent post, EXACTLY EXACTLY how I feel.

Haters gonna hate, if you don't like storyline, go back to WoW.


I'm playing SWTOR for the story aspect and the RP opportunities that come with it.

No thanks. I played WoW for over 7 years, started in Open Beta with my Jr. High friends and will never go back. I'll stay here and voice my opnions and you will like it.

instead of an addon, maybe it should be made impossible for anyone to skip cutscenes JUST my opinion and you will like it.
If you don't enjoy a game, why troll it?

So a decent player joins your group and hasn't done this particular Heroic or Flashpoint before and you'd boot them because they were watching the cutscenes?

I'm just utterly speechless...

I like the story, and don't skip it, given the choice.

2. Just because you personally are all about the group dynamic and everyone having a say, does not mean that is how groups work. If a certain set of rules are outlined by the Group Leader, and another player joins the group, only to disobey these rules, the player is at fault and the GL has the right to remove them from the group with or without warning. That is how grouping has worked in every MMO, and will always work in every MMO. If I'm GL and I state in my LFG post "LF2M for xFP, need healer and dps, (x peice of loot is reserved, all others free roll)" Then these are my stipulations and are law for this group. Now say you join, we run the FP, that loot drops and you roll on it, you have broken my rules. You are the ******. You have had a negative impact on my play experience, and likely the experience of the others in the group, and I kick you right then and there. This is not anti-social behavior, its a simple "You broke the rules, you're gonzo." You don't have to like it. The Group Leader's word is law. Break at your own risk.
I agree if it is just one guy who wants to do things differently then the rest of the group, but if more then one want to see the story regardless of your rules O mighty group leader, then you need to suck it up and take the extra 5 min that might be wasted in your opinion. New flash, if half the group want it done a certain way then either they decide to leave, or you suck it up.

-But then again that is my style of play, I like to promote community and fairness in my gaming. Some please I guess prefer the kick and go single player mentality. Not really saying either is the correct way to do it, I am just saying that by adding a mechanic to single out and kick player you are inviting harassing and misuse.

I just wonder why people like the OP ever decided to buy SWTOR. It had voice acting and cutscenes all over on it. There is really only one way to enjoy this game fully and that is to immerse yourself in the story, and that was what Bioware aimed at.

Oh look. I come back and people STILL can't read the OP, and some STILL quote it after not reading it!

You silly little trolls you!

OP said he advertised as LFM, No Cutscenes. Anyone who joins and then watchs anyway is wrong. End of argument.
