My heads hurting, Haven't read so much since i studied for my certifications.

So far... Awesome game and awesome feedback. def think anyone 'if-e' on the game should read may help you sway some uncertain
thoughts.

after reading all of what have so far which is about 7 reviews(lengthy ones too) the thing that i read that really caught my eyes and attention while
reading was the Crew skills. I guess while crafting you can break down gear you loot or collect and then get resources that way also.. it wasn't the salvaging
part of that aspect which interested me. Its the fact every time you 'reverse engineer' something you get the opportunity to unlock new ways of creating items
and learning schematics. Really awesome idea and adds a whole new thing to crafting. something a little like GW salvaging but more random and probably more
complex. I gotta say Artifice is really catching my attention.. Making lightsabers, crystals and jedi bracers... it brings a whole new level to customization.

customization; i did write crafting was the one that really caught my eye but i got give some of the information on customization credit too. Guy was talking about after becoming
a sentiel he wanted to steer away from any armor mostly and stick to a traditional robe wearing jedi.. which is what Bioware has shown to believe. From what I read even as a dual wielding jedi you can still wear some 'lighter' armor pieces.. choosing to use them and their different gains is dependent on how you play your character.Not sure what ill go for.


all in all sounds like when TOR is out my gf is going to blow up my computer cause im not gonna wanna stop playing. So much to do and ive heard great things about the story that just all together all the elements just pulls you in more.

Even though I'm not going to play it, they absolutely look interesting and are easy to read. For sure, Ek is going to enjoy these! Hope you all will enjoy the game as much as the authors try to describe them.

Share some screenshots when you get a good chance from time to time!

One thing I noticed is that they said it is time intensive. That is good and bad. Good because I want the story, but bad because I won't have time for anything else once its released! I better play Skyrim fast so I don't have to try to play both! lol

One thing I really liked was how well received Trooper seems to be. Especially trooper commando. Sounds really bada**!!! Can't wait to get my machine gun and start destroying stuff! :) Along with doing some healing!

It is still a 'theme park' game but hopefully a few expansions.. and the extension of space travel and combat it'll pick up to being more of a hybrid.

Personally i love sandbox games like SWG, it was amazing sometimes confusing but amazing... you just got on a did whatever you wanted.. almost every time you got on something new happened.

Such games, like Minecraft, are the best. They show that in the end, it's not about graphics or whatsoever but that it's all just a great idea that makes a great game.

Even tough I can't play this game, I am able to play both Skyrim and the new Assassins Creed. That doesn't sound that bad at all.

very excited for skyrim and im really hoping my money comes through the 1st so i can get it.

Like the new changes to the series in skyrim... dual-wielding and better use of magic really making the game come to terms with new technology. In oblivion they really touch basis with the new graphics of its time now skyrims getting all kinds of upgrades. some may look down on it but ive worked very hard and its taken me a long time to get a decent gaming rig computer that can play some pretty awesome graphics so i am a little bit of a graphics fanatic. So i wanna put my money to good use.. skyrim is def. going to be one of those cases... looks so beautiful.

... some may look down on it but...

Different people will look down on others for investing in different hobbies, mate. It's how it is.
