trade in all VO, no. IŽd trade in some of it tho, for a few extra game options. Like sidequests and daily quest VO.
Not sure how much of a difference that would make since classquest is by far the least played content in swtor, exept some of the bonus quests maybe.

If you got 4 rep. + 4 imp 1 of each class, you would play classquest 1 time only, and nonclass quests 4 times, exept probably some bonus quests. That makes class quests 4 times less played than normal quests. So it would make sense to reduce classquest costs if you try to do some costefficiency.

Now if you instead of classquests had a faction questline, and more planet questlines that all classes could play. Then you "saved" 6 major story quests and could put in maybe 1 or 2 extra major faction questlines each side and some extra features. All in all i think it would have worked better. Non repeatable quest that only 12.5% of players can play is just too expensive not to influence some other side of swtor.

No. i would not.

For me, TOR gives me an amazing experience due to the voice over. I sit down, immerse myself like no other and wisp away in the stories of even the simplest of missions. In my head, the things they say effect me right now sometimes and then I say what I think is the best outcome line for the time being. It's great.

So no, heck no. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's remarkable what SWTOR did with full voice over. It will just take people some more time to realize how great it really is.

I don't see why I should have to trade one for the other.

I just wanted to speak to this really quick. One of the main problems with the playerbase is you have the people kinda like the OP and the person the above poster quoted saying they spacebar everything. SWTOR has been advertised as a story-driven, fully voiced MMO from day one.

To come to this game and then complain that there's too much VO is just ignorance. As you can see from this thread, the majority of people are playing TOR because of the quality of VO and cutscene work. As with everything else, a small but very vocal minority is now actively trying to make the game something it was never meant to be, thereby ruining it for the majority, who enjoy the voice work.

Or is voice over so special and great experience for you?
No. I would not give up the voice content for anything.
If you pick up a novel, and see pages 2-899 only as obstacles between pages 1 and 900, then it may just be that you don't like reading.

No. I would not trade the V.O. for more Game Options. As many have pointed out, it is one of the traits that separates SWTOR from WOW.

The only real change I would like to see is an alignment option for Force Users so that a Sith could be redeemed to the Light and a Jedi could be seduced by the Dark Side during the course of the story.

I am playing a star wars game, not "let`s hit the EA dummy", if you missed the point...

Or to explain further: Bioware was the "quality assurance", but, ultimately, you are playing a game. If the same game would have been made by any other developer and turned out identical to this one... it would still be the same point... you are playing a game.

You are playing this game for the RPG. Fine. I am playing it for the MMO. Why is it NOT fine?

Voiceovers are the highlight for me. I even enjoy it when a repeated convo finally gives up a different reply than what I've heard before because of a character's role/race/alignment/what have you. There are already quite a few terminal-type quests without voiceover, but the interactive VO cutscenes in class, planet, FP, and other side quests make me far more engaged than a wall of text.
