In SWTOR the "Real" Game starts at level 1

Am I the only person who wants to force choke some of these haters. If the game is so aweful go play something else.

Indeed

What I meen is that I would like in the story so see more of your old choises be put in the story, and more of the NPC react on what you have done. Or even bock or open a big quest line cuz you have done some thing.

Yes it has an impact but I like a bigger inpact. I love it now but would like it just a tad bigger Give a lion you hand it takes your arm I know.

If you don't care about the story then yes, the story changes nothing for you personally. Any game can only offer so many varieties of gameplay. They usually can be broken down to 3 things; attack, defend, travel. This is a limitation not of MMOs, but for any game. Attack X number of enemy Y, defend A from enemy B or Go to location Z. Be it a FPS, an adventure game or an MMO all games can have their tasks simplified into these 3 catagories.


TOR is a classical MMO with exceptional story telling. But if you don't care for story the it is just an MMO like many others. But keep in mind, the fault is with YOU not caring about story and not a fault of the game itself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that.

i am leveling my 6th toon to 15 as of this moment. smuggler accidentally got to level 19 too fast, and im making it wait until all other 5 toons reach 19.

The example you've used here is actually a prime example of how your decisions *don't* impact the storyline in this game.

Regardless of what you decide, you still get the rewards (sometimes plus or minus an extra credit box). And you still advance through the story without fail.

Honestly, how many times do you think your Bounty Hunter should be able to *not* complete the task he was hired to do before he gets a reputation as being the most unreliable Bounty Hunter ever? And why would people continue giving him missions at that point? You can fail to fulfill every contract and let your target go every single time and it never really comes back to bite you in the rear. There are simply no consequences to your actions beyond an adjustment on a light/dark point scale that gives you access to different gear.

All the choices in dialogue responses we have simply add or subtract an extra comment from the NPC. A typical dialogue tree looks like this:

NPC: I won't lie to you, this mission is death on a stick. Your chances of survival are practically nil. But we need you to do this if my family is going to survive.

Player response choice 1) Count me in.

NPC response to choice 1: That's what I like to hear. You got spirit, kid. Strap this bomb to your back and head north to the rancor cave. Good luck, you'll need it.

Player response choice 2) This sounds like a bad plan. Isn't there another way?

NPC response to choice 2: If there were, we'd be trying that instead. Strap this bomb to your back and head north to the rancor cave. Good luck, you'll need it.

Player response choice 3) Better plan. You do this instead and I'll wait here with your beautiful wife.

NPC response to choice 3: Believe me, if it weren't for the arrow I took to the knee I would! That makes you our best hope. Strap this bomb to your back and head north to the rancor cave. Good luck, you'll need it.

Not much in the way of impactful decisions there once you give the game an honest look. Choice is an illusion. The best you can hope for is feeling like you handled that conversation in a nice or evil way. And (like my example above) half the time the game disagrees with you on what is the real good and evil choice, forcing you to say what the dialogue writer wants instead if you plan on sticking to the light/dark side.

It is this mentality that is killing the MMO genre, just so you know.

No it doesn't.

I have yet to get bored of it.

It was many years before it was and even WoW is partially F2P. Your point?

Oh, pointless hater whining. So there was no point at all. Gotcha.
