hest — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 05:11:15 +0000

A new video has been released on swtor.com.

The Jedi Civil War left many unanswered questions. In the difficult days following the showdown between Darth Revan and Darth Malak, the Jedi Order struggled to survive, leaving little time for investigations. Redeemed as a Jedi, Revan traveled into deep space in search of a mysterious evil. We now know that the source of this evil was the reconstituted Sith Empire, but that solves only a portion of the mystery

Interview with Sean Dahlberg

hest — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:30:11 +0000

SWTOR-Welten.de had an interview with Sean Dahlberg at Gamescom.

Jaina: A Sith-Warrior will have his blue Twi’lek, another Sith-Warrior will also have his blue Twi’lek. Are there any options to customize companions, so that there is no feeling of being on tour with a clone?

Sean: So we have various ways to customize your characters though gear, mostly though gear but a couple of other ways also. Visually you’re also be able to change them so that they look more like you want or just perform a certain role.

For example you are a Sith-Warrior and you may want her as a ranged support person or maybe a healer role or more a tankish role. Each companion has various roles and it’s up to you to find what those roles are.

Trooper Abilities from SWTOR-station

hest — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:55:10 +0000

SWTOR-Station played the Trooper class at Gamescom and has collected many skills and abilities for the class.

At Gamescom we were not only able to play as Trooper on Ord Mantell, but also found a trainer, which enables you to buy additional skills. We took notes and some pictures of all the skills we were able to see. Please note that those may not be final and there will be more coming due to the specializations’ talent trees, which were not shown yet.

Whether you’re looking to dominate the galaxy in the name of the Empire or rescue it from darkness as part of the Republic, you won’t get very far without a starship. In Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, your starship will be your base of operations, and it might even be your best friend. Ship models are specially designed to match the needs and tastes of each of the class types, so even though all the starships are outfitted for traveling the galaxy, each has its own character.
