Over at MMORPG an exclusive interview with Lucas Arts Executive Producer Tom Nichols has been posted: providing a detailed consideration of what features players will enjoy in “Star Wars the
The interview focuses on the games immersive story-with greatly different (indeed unique) experiences for all classes. All dialogue, meanwhile, will be ‘voiced over’: again providing deeper immersion.
Further, Nichols discusses the game's art-style: what they call 'stylized realism'. Nichols contends that this style is "distinctive" and "unique" compared to other Star Wars games, and other MMOs. Despite the complaints of some fans, my own impressions have been positive.
Interestingly, in the background there is a poster featuring what looks like an assassin droid. This leads one to wonder: will assassin or droid characters feature in the game?
Finally: Nichols reveals that “combat will be heroic”: and that the sense of heroic combat will be clear right from the beginning of the game; with each new character facing multiple opponents.
Drop in and check the interview out. For anyone interested in SWTOR it’s worthwhile.
