Luckily the ladies get a better treatment, with a much wider range of beauty. If you want to be Handsome in the Old Republic, your choices could be a little more limited than you might like. Something that made me scratch my chin a bit is the rather weird abundance of arguably unattractive options, especially for males.
But the variety of options is still well above average, especially due to the high number of different settings for each element. I would have appreciated the option to chose my eyebrows separately from complexion. The cosmetic options are definitely well varied, with many choices for each element, even if the inability to select the nose shape separately from that of the face is a bit annoying.
Looks like BioWare decided to stick with the species more similar to humans, in order to maximize their expressive potential during storytelling. I'm quite sure some will frown at the lack of playable Wookiees. Many of the iconic Star Wars species are present, but some are missing. Luckily this doesn't seem to be the case with The Old Republic.Īfter starting the game and after chosing his faction, the player is presented with a fairly complete character creation process. Too many times in the MMORPG industry massive pre-release hype was met with less than stellar results. I can't hide the fact that I approached the Beta and now the release with a degree of apprehension. The fact that it's the direct sequel of the Knights of the Old Republic series doesn't hurth either, but all those elements combined can also turn into a massive burden. It bears the Star Wars brand and it's developed by one of the most beloved studios in this industry. Star Wars: The Old republic is without a doubt one of the most anticipated MMORPGs of the history of the genre. That era of strife and tension was ripe for new heroes and villains to raise and struggle for the salvation of the galaxy, or its conquest. The Jedi Knights had retreated from the capital planet of Coruscant, blamed by the Senate for the failure of the war effort, while the Sith consolidated their chocking hold on half of the galaxy. More precisely about 3,650 years before Darth Vader spoke the famous "I am your father" line, the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic were locked in a cold war thinly veiled by a fragile peace. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
