The Planets Feel Too Static

For the same reason all player characters are humans with paint jobs. Copy/paste is much cheaper and less work. Just ask DA2.

Lazy and cheap: the EAware motto.

lmao.

Is that all you have left? Calling me a fanatic fan, because I disagree with your assessment?

I actually have a game I am playing, and enjoying.

comic sauce.

I think of a few other games where elves all the look same or humans.

I suppose ActiBliz must be lazy too.

Yes, you're right.

Everyone terraformed planets into Earth clones, even though none of them had ever been to Earth.

Read the books describing alien flora and fauna, look at the art in Star Wars comics, etc.

Now look at the Earth clones in the game.

Lazy and cheap: the EAware motto.

I'm not still waiting for a single refutation from you against any of the facts, if that's what you're asking. I know you can't come up with any. And again, just for the record:


-The mobs just stand/sit there lifelessly waiting for you to kill them... in WoW they move and even talk to eachother and act out different scenarios...


-The few critters there are just sit there like they're painted into the background... in WoW they wander around and even attack one another..


-Why does every planet's ecosystem have to look EXACTLY like earth?! Where are the liquid nitrogen forests and electrical gas clouds? Where is the alien plantlife? Instead we get oak trees everywhere... designing alien planets should be so creative, and oak trees is what they came up with!? WoWs space zones are alot more creative and inspired...


-There's barely any music and ambient sounds... seriously for a game that prides itself so much on sound/voices did they just forget!? Were they drunk!?


-Add to that the linearity of the gameworld... no day/night cycle... no swimming environments... no weather... NPCs you can't even click on let alone interact with... it is way below par with where MMOs should be in 2011... How could they ever think this would compete with WoW?

Taurans, Orcs, Goblins all look human to you in WoW?

Failed argument is failed, bro.

The Planets Feel Too Static

You clearly haven't seen the gun fights between Coruscant Security and the criminals on coruscant. Or noticed the ships flying around on Ord Mantell. Or the fact that most NPCs are doing something other than standing still unless they are specifically on guard. Maybe you didn't see the Fleshraiders scavenging through bones for food. Seen the enemies that patrol around areas being a pest when you're already fighting another group.

You only have to take one look at Balmorra to see a planet where everywhere you look something is happening. AA guns. Drop ships. Salvaging teams. Sith leading squads of Imperial troopers against seperatist or republic encampments.

Now admittedly they can do with making this happen more but to say that every planet feels dead and static is completely inaccurate. Most NPCs are doing something other than standing around looking unemployed, be it looking at a datapad, talking with someone else or actively doing something else.
