there's an xp grind too, from the little i've seen. you can see some gameplay on youtube if you want. it's from E3 yesterday I believe. i'm posting a link below if you want to watch instead of read all this. part 2 is the only thing worth watching, imo.
every player gets their own customizable ship and they can invite other players to come on board and look at it. i thought that sounded really cool but i'm not sure how customizable it is. i also saw a really short clip of a ship shooting at another ship.
but there was also some killing of mobs for xp. i think because of that i'll have to go with sith warrior. i think they're the only class that has force jump, which was my favorite thing in kotor. i know that's pretty childish but it never got old jumping through the air at someone and stabbing them with my lightsaber.
they also showed a part where you needed 3 players. there was a jedi healer, a trooper guy tanking, and a smuggler dealing with all the little mobs. i think it was a mini boss fight or something, but they made it more like a story. i think they had boarded the bad guy's ship.

I can understand the need to balance the party balance but having to sit around going "LF Healer To Go" really annoys me.
I think I'll just have to wait for 2011 to see what happens.
Forum posts should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep your attention.

Well, the cinematic element is certainly very nice. Now to actually see some gameplay and features.

Yeah, the comments were all "force barrier" this, and "power draining" that. *NM*

Their solution is to make the other classes bad ass and level the playing field.

And I don't see why they can't level the playing field to some extent.

I want to play as a non-Jedi or Sith force user.

That would be an interesting twist. Maybe play as a Witch of Dathomir, or some other variation. *NM*

How much of that will I actually be able to do though?

Heh, probably not. That's why I said the trailer didn't really have any game info. Just cool is all.
