A good game, with unexpected gems and some unexplicable choices

[Daernar]

I have to admit, I've never really been into theme parks mmo. I tried WoW, but got bored before even taking the mount (lv 20, if I remember correctly).

 

So I bought SWTOR more to enjoy some evenings with friends than for the game per se.

I like SW, but I'm far from a "fan"; I liked KOTOR, but I have never been really impressed by BW narrative skills.

 

Yet this game has something that has made me renew my subscription for other 3 months.

It the story, ofc. But also exploring Tatooine (I hope that from now on all the planets are like it, because it has been one of the few real exploration experience I have in a mmo, with many little things to see and do - ah Jawa's Balloon, I hate you-, nice scenery, the codex to add lore etc etc), Space Combat (really, it's so simple but I enjoy it)...

 

Then I've found Outlaw Den, the FFA area on Tatooine with the AH, with no quest or real incentives to go there (and therefore I was alone) and fight.

I've traveled for hours in the desert... and no soundtrack at all to give the "epic" feeling that such adventure deserves.

I have this big planet, where I can fight Reps, full of little nice villages... that I cannot conquer for the Empire, or my guild, or just raid for a bit of loot...

 

Everything is there to have a great game, full of things to do.. yet somehow it seems that no-one in BW thought about such things that came to my mind after 10 mins on the planet...

mh, no flame so no interest...

 

ok, I will unsub if they don't add music in loop everywhere!

I agree with you, especially the part about the Music. Sometimes just hearing your speeder, whilst realistic I know, takes away from the iconic places you are.

 

Tatooine especially!
