Marginally better than other MMOs due to story, dialogue, and roleplaying potential (though not all class stories are equally entertaining). Standard boring as fuck MMO combat: lots of running from quest point to quest point, avoiding mobs when you can; cycling between two or three buttons until the target is dead when you can't. I've started this up maybe five times total over the years, and usually end up quitting after a day or two, when the pointlessness of what I'm doing begins to weigh on me. This could be good, with more challenging combat, better loot, rewarding player exploration, and less grind -- letting the story, conversations, and companions take center stage. Basically if this weren't an MMO and Bioware just made another single-player Star Wars roleplaying game? ( )
