I'm not  a huge fan of voiceovers. I can read much faster than the voiceover, probably at least twice as fast, so although the voiceovers can ad something, usually I begin to get slightly frustrated because it's so slow and prefer to just read the text.

 

However, if it's going to work like this, then I won't mind. Voiceover can't be skipped, so EVERYONE in the party has to listen to it, then EVERyONE in the party has to make a choice. That might be fun.

Otherwise, I hate waiting on other people to read quest dialog.

 

 

I assume you never played Mass Effect? Which is pretty much the system used in SW: TOR.

 

No, I have not played Mass Effect.

Are you saying that this system is fun, or not so fun?

 

I'll say it's a blast!

 

Its like you're watching a movie, but instead of watching the movie, you're controlling how the plays out.  Other then, Mass Effect and to some extent the other two KotOR games, there are no other game that plays out like this and makes the story and gameplay stand out very much.

 

Edit:  Also, I read in an interview that there will be no waiting for someone to read text so you won't have to wait for them to answer their portion of the dialog.  What I mean is, there is a timer so if they don't answer in time, then I presume you get to answer in their place.   

It does sound like fun, and I will be trying TOR when it releases. I just hope they balance things to make grouping worth while.

Every day this game looks more and more like kotor with a multiplayer component... And I am perfectly fine with that.

Below is a pretty good example of Mass Effect dialogue.

I was waiting for that Duke Nukem line when hearing that Bounty Hunter's voice.

That quote originally comes from none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper in an old movie "They Live": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/quotes. Never actually seen the whole movie myself though.

I have a better one: www.youtube.com/watch

The VO are undoutbly great, and the story is a cool addition.

However, watching it I got this feeling "hey isnt that KOTOR 3" single player with mild multi options? I mean, I have to say I am a group player. I love to gather with my friends "hey let's meet there and there and do stuff". Whatever. Sometims quests we have, sometimes just hunt something or roam a dungeon without needing any story or what. I mean, the idea of story is cool. And not wanting to beat a dead horse, but this looks much like a single player game. How can people just meet and go hunt somewhere in such a strong story-tied game?

Animations look very cool already! I love the combat. Only, as said otherwise, the chars need serious work, heh.

On a sidenote, I personally love cutscenes and story with VO... however, many of my friends, when they played something like Diablo, even tho the cutscenes were uber cool, they just clicked them away to go on "killing and destroying stuff" (as one of the chars said), so I am kinda uncertain if people will really care about all this much story? I mean, I do, but most ppl I know just want to go and kill stuff. XD

Well, I thought that it actually showed a Bounty Hunter and  a Sith working on a quest. You did not see the whole thing, but it was clearly mentioned that  depending on different classes in your party, you get different dialogue options. So the quests are class specific in a sense and if you do a quest together with other classes you might get different options and perhaps even endings?

 "I mean, I do, but most ppl I know just want to go and kill stuff. "

I think people like that have many interesting multiplayer titles coming up, like Diablo III. So I am not really interested what they think. They are not probably people who enjoy Bioware type of games in the first place.

As I said in the other thread about this.

Voice overs sound really good.

The "art-style" and textures look like complete shit.

I saw absolutely no MMO in any of that trailer.

 

But heck of a fun game.

You've played it?

Just curious, I am not saying the game wiLL be fun or won't be fun but how can we tell how fun it is if we haven't played it?

I agree totally. The graphics may change but the main thing that stood out to me was that I did not see any MMO in that trailer either. This looks to be another linear hand held group adventure game.

I don't think that was an NPC sidekick.
