![]() ![]() In a world where online multiplayer is usually competitive, it’s nice that a game that isn’t necessarily co-op sees players work together. It was pretty cool how a random bunch of folks joined up to help each other out. We were going through a dungeon, which SWTOR call “Heroic Areas,” when we banded together to make our lives easier going through it. Grouping With Other Players Is Fun – It was about a week before I formed part of a group of gamers. We start with something that’s maybe a bit more Dragon Age: Origins meets Star Wars meets Mass Effect with unique class origin stories and missions before joining the rest of the narrative. Still, it’s nice to pick up this game for free and still play through the story just like the subscribers and preferred status players. The story early on doesn’t seem as good as the original KOTOR but I’m not expecting KOTOR in an MMO. I’m just saying that the dialogue wheel and points-based morality system are things that BioWare tweaked in ME and brought back to Star Wars. Yes, BioWare is known for writing great stories and story was cornerstone of KOTOR. KOTOR meets Mass Effect – The refinements to the dialogue and morality systems that BioWare introduced in the Mass Effect trilogy are here in TOR. But is the SWTOR free-to-play experience worth it one year after launch? Things I Like ![]() Fortunately, in November, The Old Republic went free-to-play meaning you didn’t have to spend a penny to enjoy a new Star Wars experience. Over the course of a year, that would amount to $240 in costs which is the same as buying four games over the course of the year. Spending $60 to buy the game and another $15 per month to play it wasn’t appealing to me. I didn’t buy SWTOR when it first came out, though. Better still, the last time BioWare and LucasArts got together, we got Knights of the Old Republic which is one of my all-time favourite games and The Old Republic looked like the spiritual successor to the KOTOR series. After all, I love Star Wars and BioWare had never steered me wrong. I’ve never played an MMO game before but was really interested in Star Wars: The Old Republic when it was first announced. ![]()
