I never really cared about the quests or storyline beyond the basics. That is one of the things I love about SWtOR is that I actually found myself getting sucked in. But then again I also love the cut scenes in Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, etc.

Not the 5 - 10 year experienced desiger/developers that hold bachelor degrees in this field -- and have seen the MMO industry since it's conception -- oh no. This thread is so incredibly far-fetched that it makes me laugh just thinking about it. Who in their right mind would say they would like to see content removed from the game 'just' so it can become the very duplicate of other MMO's in the industry.

Do i need to report you again for disrupting my thread? I'm sure bioware is on my side after seeing some of the comments you wrote. For me the voice is what gives them meaning..... The quest to collect X items and dip them in Y machine becomes meaningful and interesting because of the characters and their voices.....the cool old couple that needs X the regular Joe employee begging me to betray the couple so his family will be safe......it's the plot and voices that give it meaning.

Having the sidequests without VO would totally ruin the atmosphere, you can easily see that in Age of Conan (Level 1-20 is fully voiced, afterwards it's only the main quest and a tiny selection of other quests). Quite frankly, I prefer what you call "dinosaur age gameplay" to the "innovations" you see in some games like DCUO (arcade-style combat).

Class quests ya but the side ones are pretty standard.

Sigh VA for side quests not the story itself. Please learn to read.

No matter how many ways you want to spin it. BioWare will be enjoying your subscription for the months to come.

It's always so confusing here. People would complain this is a WoW clone then turn around and complain why this game is not like WoW.
