I was looking at my dashboard today when I noticed someone came to my blog after searching “make me wanna play SWTOR”. So, for the one of my three readers who don’t know if it’s worth it to play SWTOR or not, here are my top 10 reasons why you should give it a go :
- Class story. If there was one thing every MMO to come should have, it’s that. Your character have a story. In Swtor you won’t be going from planet to planet because you want to be level 50 as fast as possible, but because “what happens now ??” As a Bounty Hunter, each planet has a feel of “Finally, I killed the Lich King!” in Wrath, except on a shorter time-line.
- Quest cinematics are just great. No more dubious reading, and yet you know why you’re killing ten rats. And is a perfect complement to the class story to make the leveling experience compelling.
- You can have BSOCK with your companions, or, even better, with complete strangers !
- You can have your companions do the farming for you
- Light Side / Dark Side choices. This system allow you to give your character a real personality.
- You have a droid which says “It’s a pleasure to work for you mistress” each time it sees you.
- You can have a slave and torture her as you wish (or you can make her free if that’s your thing, but, seriously, who would do that ???)
- Your character will look badass.
- You have a ship of your own, and you can do space combat with it
- And last but not least : you can try SWTOR for free !
