The character stories are just neither here nor there for me. I don't play an mmo for the single player experience. It is unique and it is new, and it isn't over all terrible but I just don't know if that is what I want when playing an MMO.

I spared a Sith Lord and he's rumbling around in the background.

I haven't noticed anything like the former, and the latter is just so blah. Does his staying alive open a new quest chain? Does it close one? Does it alter the direction my quest will go? Does it unlock a new ability? Does it prevent me from getting one?

I'd prefer more group missions at level 50 than at level 15. Just a poor design system for leveling. I left Dormund Kaas with two heroic missions unfinished because I got sick of waiting on the planet to find a group with every other quest done.

As they should be. My level 1 everything shuttle should not be able to take down a capital ship.

I get that. But why are they so confused? Killing this guy is cool with them in one instance, but not in the next? They like it when I hit on this girl now, but the next one is not cool? Just no rhyme or reason.

Pretty much. It all depends where they go, but I honestly have the lowest expectations with EA breathing down Bioware's neck/putting their own people in charge at Bioware. They were too scared to take Activisions method of "Okay Blizzard, here is when we need it done by and what we want to see. Beyond that, do what you do."

But I can accept it since it came far before the days of Darth Bane and the reformation of the Sith into the rule of two.

It just bugs me that they had lore to use, and have created even more. Just makes things more confusing. Blizzard did the same #### in WoW. I don't get it.

I expected hiccups. Not a broken UI on release. That's inexcusable. Even more so because they refuse to acknowledge it's a problem.

Melee in general is underpowered in PVP right now. That will get balanced and is not much of a problem imo. Class balancing is a delicate thing.
