It's not the helm causing it, it's the robe. They now persist the baldness caused by the robe even when the hood is hidden by a helm. It's annoying, it sucks, and it's the reason I wear exclusively trooper chestguards now.

That is completely untrue. The books are restrained by a set of rules and have to be approved by Lucas.

There are TWO situations where this will ever happen. 1) A duel. 2) Open world PVP in an area that has no significance and/or rewards. If there are complaints, they will be followed by a whole bunch of pointing and laughing.

Ah. Open world PVP. They have said they will never balance with regards to open world PVP. Ranked and warzones, yes, objective based open world (Areas where companions are already banned) yes, but pure open world is, to use their term, "The wild west."

Let's start with your force choke argument. You missed the part where it was only active during heroic moment. So yes, every 20 minutes, you can force choke. Force users can do that far more often, that's what they get. As for getting a BH to 50, most likely Death from Above is the shared ability. That again, you get to do once every 20 minutes. With a companion out. The "Uberbuff" gives you nothing you don't already have access to in a group with the other characters of the other classes. It is in no way game breaking, just a neat little unlock. It's not going to be cheap to unlock with credits, but they put it in there so someone who doesn't like to play the alt game can have one character at 50 they concentrate on. It's going to be easier to unlock legacy through alts than credits. Basically, the Legacy system is full of cool things that are cool for being cool's sake. There is nothing game-breaking or even game-changing about it. It's just fun.

... You passed the SATs? How exactly do you pass the SATs? That's like saying you passed an IQ test.

I'm not saying trust critic reviews. I'm saying don't trust the "user" reviews either.

Metacritic's aggregate is 88%. The user reviews are 100% worthless, as there is no control over them. And even if we were sure that all 1000 user reviewers had played the game and were giving honest opinions, that is not a statistically significant sample size with over 1 million subscribers. 5% is the generally accepted level of significance, that is 0.1%.

Considering about 50 different publications name a Game of the Year, it'll probably snag and/or buy at least one.

They tend to get more per "correct" answer too. My first companion gets 15 per standard correct answer. My second gets 20. My third gets 34.

(Cut and paste response to a cut and paste thread) I loved the old Rebel Assault games, and this has a very similar feel. I love it, and considering most of the in movie space combat was portrayed in a very similar way (Most famous examples being the trench run and the destruction of the Death Star II) I feel it's very true to the spirit of the movies. I am a big fan of how they did the space combat, my only gripe is that there's no multiplayer missions and that there aren't enough missions (Never enough!).

You don't do a lot of disassembling, do you... You can get better gear through crafting than commendations, you just have to work for it.

Actually, the galactic market is part of the reason people aren't buying crafted goods. I don't want to scroll through 300 pages of every piece of heavy armor out there just to try and find a belt upgrade. But that's a whole other argument.

Crafted gear is better. You just have to disassemble until you get the purple recipes. I'd be doing that anyway, since 9 times out of 10 the other rewards being offered are nowhere near as good as what I currently have (And no, most of what I currently have is not from commendations, it's from crafting and heroic quest rewards)
