The biggest and best feature of swtor that no other mmorpg ever have.

The ability to customize your companion, gears, crafting and what not.

 That my friend blew me away.

Specially the character customization.

Oh wait... /facepalm

well not really companion customization, but i really like this feature because the companion is with you at all times not just for certain dungeons. Also the fact they can gather crating mats fo you while your crafting and such, strike up a conversation for some exp occasionally and such. i think its cool, and hope the future of mmo's take this companion feature to the next level.

And im not talking about using your companion just for assisting in fights, its got to be more then that.

Saying that scripted conversation with NPCs (or even romancing them) is the best thing in MMO (MMO!) is just wrong

That's like going to steak house and ordering spaghetti - you may like them as a true italian but for the love of god you're in a freakin steak house!

I like how as a crafter (synthweaver) i can make gear for my shadow companion and my guardian character, as well as pass on my old mods to her.

TOR's biggest feature is it's budget :)

This guy also canceled his pre-order. Didn't help him: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/4625118#4625118

Saving spot.....

For when i can think of a good feature.

I honestly don't see what's good about it. It's just another time-sink type thing. Consider the companion as a part of yourself... all they're doing is giving you more item slots to fill... nothing more. Everyone is making such a big deal about this and not seeing the big picture. Open you're eyes... It's nothing new... it's just MORE of the same stuff.

To have a companion level up your skills for you and gather stuff is just catering to the casuals and making it super easy.

Yup it's like BW said "ok we need to have crafting in TOR so we can call it an mmo" and "but since console gamers hate crafting we will just make companions gather mats and lvl up there crafting for them"

Problem solved now EA/BW can call there console game an mmo and sell it to the console gamers more then once with subs.

Kill three birds with one stone...

Its nice in a way, but the companion thing is silly its just taking away the need to team up with people..

I say again this is mroe like a single player game with some added on MMO stuff.

SW:TOR's best feature is that it's Star Wars.

The customization of Target's target.

Also, raving fanboys say that having this option is too easy, so should be removed and I should go back to WoW

On the topic of best features I must say the soundtrack is spot on, I really love good soundtracks in games and this one takes the cake all of the motion picture ones + games + new one really cuts it for me, it really feels epic when you fight a boss.

Have you played the game past lvl 20? The Heroics and random elites cannot be done solo, companion or not.
