'Star Wars: The Old Republic' Trailer Makes Rikoshi Happy in the Pants

[rikoshi]

So, I've been geeking out a lot to E3 this week, so far (natch), but the thing that's hooked me the most, so far, is the newly-released cinematic trailer for 'Star Wars: The Old Republic.'I have only one word for this: "...guh

You can never have too many.

Now I want to try to draw a picture...

From what BioWare has been saying, it sounds like it can be played entirely solo.

[rikoshi]

That was absolutely my first thought.

Congratulations on managing to run that session mere days before this hit. :)

[athelind]

Yes, exactly.

[toob]

Galaxies wasn't freakin' Bioware, though. :D

They're pretty much the only company I'd trust to get it right.

Complaint: Cinematic only, no gameplay.

Raving: But the cinematic is absolutely amazing.

Also, you liar! You did play MMOs, once! With me, even! Coriander the Explorer in Earth and Beyond! I forget what I was, some sort of warrior-hybrid with a cloaking devices and a ton of laaaaasers.

(Oh, bbcode...)

In-DEED. :)

You know, it's funny; I ALMOST mentioned Earth and Beyond, but I figured I'd then have twenty people asking me, "Wait, what's Earth and Beyond?"

I'm impressed that you actually remembered my character's name, too! And yes, she was a Jenquai Defender, with the summon and the cloak and the awesome.

(Also, you're not so much of a nerd that you remembered the name of her ship [it was the Seraphic Law, by the way.])

[ruadh]

Aaah, we were both Jenquai Defenders. I thought you were an Explorer for some reason, with the Jump Start (rez) power and suchlike. Yeah, Summon was pretty awesome. I even took the power in CoH that mimiced it (Teleport Foe) when I started playing that game.

I totally don't remember the name of your ship. I don't remember the name of my character, or his ship, though. I remember Caleb's, though. Cornerstone, the Human Trader. Bill had one of the martian warguy types, and Rick had the martian warguy miner ships - the warrior/trader mix, I think it was. They specialised in more ballistic weapon mounts than god, while I think Caleb's ship was covered in missile pods.

Oh, I do remember my Human Warrior/Trader hybrid, though. She was called Joleen, and was a complete space-redneck.
