I would like to thank Mr. Daniel Erickson for his time and giving us this great interview. We were honored to bring the community questions to him and are happy that we were able to get most of them answered. You can check out this thread on the official forums to see what were all the questions that were asked and which ones did get answers.
We had a pleasure of sitting down with Daniel Erickson, lead writer for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and he was nice enough to answer us some burning questions that the SWTOR community suggested us to ask. Here’s a recap of the most important information and you can view the video bellow.
It is highly unlikely that there will be a pre-release character creator like the one that was present in Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
There will be different size raids for different difficulties. It is not yet fully defined what those sizes will be for the bigger raid, but smaller raid will be 8 man
No dynamic content in the same sense as in Rift
Number of characters per server not defined yet. Guess is that you can have enough to play each class per server, but not yet sure.
Kicking people off a cliff in PvP matches – YES
Changing character look after you create it (barber shop) – probably not at ship
You can have 5 companions on your main character and 5 companions on all your alts and they will all be able to craft at the same time (offline queue) (please watch the interview for better explanation)
Crafted equipment is what you will need to go into a raid to get the best equipment ever on the server (please watch the interview for better explanation)
Vanity pets (sly smile – no comment – watch the interview – you will know)
Here’s the Audio version of the interview. The video file is taking forever to upload and we will have full video version as soon as we can get that edited. Thank you for your patience.
