Reader Ian hit a bug playing Star Wars: Old Republic over the weekend. Normally, we wouldn’t give a rat’s arse. Bugs happen. But this one was too great to ignore.
“World’s Smallest Sith” isn’t a designated class in the game, sadly, but it probably should be.

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:06 PMDid Luke have to run to the toilet or something? This feels like a rushed/half assed news item.

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:09 PMThis was pretty common in the Beta. It’s disappointing they haven’t fixed it in the latest release.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 2:24 PMThats not a bug, its to make the characters more relatable to the person sitting in front of the computer.

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:21 PMPersonally I find it impressive the models keep eye contact…
But that’s just me :)

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:25 PMI had this happen with an NPC who was tiny. At first I thought the model hadn’t loaded, but then it did a long shot and I saw him. I was like ‘Why isn’t anyone drawing attention to how tiny this guy is?’

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 9:31 PMAnd then there’s all those players looking at those people staring at random NPC’s thinking “Wow, watching people play videogames on acid is strangely entertaining” :D

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:28 PMIt’s just a small bug, nothing to worry about.

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 10:40 PMI had this happen when I was playing the starter world for my Jedi Knight.
It was in a conference room, and there were various characters sitting around the table, but one chair was oddly empty… then the dialogue went on and some of the camera shots were focused on the empty chair with what seemed a ghost speaking… then there was a close up shot of this invisble speaker… and all I could see was this tiny character standing on the chair, looking up at me like a disgruntled smurf.
I couldn’t stop laughing.
Then I realised, This isn’t Skyrim… I’m paying a monthly fee for these bugs…

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 12:04 AMYeah, I got the same bug – it looks like a problem with Satele Shan’s character model.
I’ve had her walk into the council chamber two inches tall…
