These choices not only effect the story, but also the rewards, equipment and even the player's appearance. Within the choices sprinkled throughout the game, players will be leaning toward either the light side or the dark side. Utilizing the standard BioWare game dialogue wheel, players are given important choices that shape how the story will play out - couple this with consistently talented voice acting and you have the ingredients for a completely immersive experience that will be a tough act to follow for future MMOs. Sporting a cast of thousands of voice actors, the game is fully voiced, and everything from the cut scenes to strolls through the galaxy will immerse players in the game's world and characters.Ĭutscenes are one of the most unique features of The Old Republic and help tell the story in a way that no other MMO can currently match. Each character has a story arc that is about the length of a Knights game and then some - not to mention future updates and virtually limitless online play. Including so many individual sagas in one game makes The Old Republic essentially Knights Of The Old Republic 3-9 - at least in terms of the amount of content. The inclusion of multiple unique story lines for each character class just adds to the richness and variety of the overall narrative and will have players creating several characters just to experience their stories. At its heart, the game is predominantly story driven, a strength that will have players continually revisiting the title. Like most products from the storytellers at BioWare, character development and an extensive script are primary focuses of The Old Republic. Star Wars: The Old Republic is an captivating and fun experience that still manages to set the bar for standards in narrative. Two gaming powerhouses, BioWare and EA, have teamed up on a project that may fine tune the MMO formula and offer a compelling universe to explore.
