now i like the idea of star wars games but from all the ones i have played (which i will admit isn't many) i have never been immerser in the game. i always feel very limited to what i can do and where i can go, and very limited to which part of the force i can use on what. for example i can use the force to pick up and throw objects and some people but not all. and have never been able to pick myself up. then items i cannot pick up but i can push them with the force, how come i cannot pull or move sideways. but that is my feelings about star wars game and i will still try any new ones when i get chance
The Force Unleashed was the first Star Wars game where I felt I was using the force abilities to their fullest. But, that game was very linear so you were still being steared down a hallway. The games were both fun to play but weren't exactly what I wanted. I doubt that The Old Republic will be a linear game, but I also doubt we will be able to interact with everything when we are in a fight. From just the few minutes I played my jedi last night, the objects that were thrown were just picked up from right around you even if you didn't see anything there before hand. It is a preset ability to throw objects at the enemy.
By the way, I have started a Sith Inquistor on Iron Clad named Trygar. I will also be making an Imperial Agent named Gakhan.
