IMHO the gameplay looks pretty much same as in KOTORS, not counting the ability to take cover though..

I don't know about that. KOTOR was turn-based and benefited from a lot of pause-queue attacks-unpause-repeat. This looks to be more real-time. And judging from the combat video diary I linked a few posts back, it will be rather different.
That said though, even if it were KOTOR/classic RPG style, I wouldn't be terribly upset. More of KOTOR couldn't possibly be a bad thing

Well, as long as it's more bugfree than KOTOR2 was. "You spent 7 years as MacGyver and you can't figure this one out? We got belt buckles and shoe laces and a piece of gum, build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud.."

If you found it interesting by the half way mark, you're a better man than I am. I found myself just going from planet to planet looking to find lightsaber parts and to make a team of Jedi than anything else. No real story, no real ending, didn't even both doing a Dark Side play.Originally posted by DigiFluid View Post

I haven't gotten to a Dark Side play yet, but Light Side was interesting enough by halfway. I quite liked the whole 'hole in the Force' thing. And Malachor V (there was an ending with the restored content mod).
Other than that though, quite disappointing."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After LifeComment

There's also a short story, The Old Republic: Smuggler's Vanguard, published in its entirety at StarWars.com. It's set during the Great Galactic War that immediately precedes the game."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Issue #2 is now available!Originally posted by DigiFluid View Post
And something else I hadn't noticed before, but they seem to be releasing short biographies on the significant galactic players of The Old Republic. Names currently include Darth Maglus and Grand Moff Kilran of the Sith Empire, Mandalore and Nemro the Hutt (independents), as well as General Garza and Grand Master Satele Shan of the Republic.Last edited by DigiFluid; 11 May 2010, 08:54 PM."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Friday's update:
Advanced Classes Overview -- Giving first details on how your character can be customized to best fit your playstyle. This appears to be a choice that's made after you've been playing for a while and (probably) leveled up your character to a certain point. Not a ton of detail, but interesting nonetheless.
Also:
A feature on world building, from TOR's lead writer. Fascinating stuff, explaining the process of conceptualizing a world using Voss as his example.Last edited by DigiFluid; 16 May 2010, 05:54 PM."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
