   I dont actually mind the graphics, its a nice take and efficient.

   Who the hell was that Green Terd looking guy at the start though? I assume that was meant to be Yoda..

   Didnt sound anything like him though, which, is kind of stupid as its a pretty unique voice that everyone knows and loves quoting.

   In fact the voice acting here on the whole is pretty lousy. Worse than WoW’s, and thats saying something.

      Yoda was ~900 years old when he died. Old Republic is set ~3500 – 4000 years before A New Hope. No way is that little green dude Yoda.

      Yoda only lived to be about 800, and this takes place roughly 1000 years before the prequel series AFAIK, this must be a creature of the same species.

      What is weird though, is that there already was another of Yoda’s species, called “Yaddle,” who, spoke in that backwards way, like Yoda, whereas this one did not.

      Although not very much is known about Yoda’s species (and I hope to the gods that Lucas keeps it that way; midichlorians… pfft!), so their way of speaking may not be a specific trait of the species.

         Also, this one sounds like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh lol!

      It’s not Yoda, just another member of the species. There’s another one like him in the first KOTOR as well. Yoda was about 900 so this takes places thousands of years before he was born.

      Well considering this is set in the Jedi civil I’m pretty sure it’s not yoda.

      It isn’t meant to be Yoda, just another member of his species who isn’t 900 years old. Don’t forget The Old Republic takes place thousands of years before the movies.

         You know there was a being in the original Jedi Council of the same species as Yoda right? Or at least a similar species, it’s name was Yiddle. There would be others of them around, though probably rare.

            You’re thinking of Yaddle. She popped up briefly in TPM on the council, vanishing in the 10 years between that & Ep2 alongside Yarel Poof.

   yeah the game is looking great and the whole universe will be epic, but there will be way to many doods with light sabers (jedi/sith) and not enough of the other suggested classes like bounty hunter(awesome), republic commando(also cool) and rogue (han solo much?).

   The class I want to play most is the Bounty hunter cause of Boba/Jango Fett (both cause they’re awesome).

      Yeah, that’s always gonna be the problem with Star Wars games. Too many people digging the light sabers.

      But I guess that’s a challenge BioWare will just have to combat by giving attractive reasons to choose the non-saber classes.

      I’ll probably go for a bounty hunter too, the same reasons as you. Being a for-hire bad-ass in space just seems way too awesome to pass up.

   A very young yoda perhaps? There was also a chick yoda in the kotor timeline, but I don’t think this was her. she had an orange lightsaber.

   Hmmm orange.

   This american voice acting’s pretty bad. Doesn’t feel like Star Wars nor do the human characters fit the universe but some sort of space marine game.

   Yeah voice acting is the least of my worries, and when you think of how many voices they’d need to do then you can’t expect it to be perfect.

   can’t wait for the full game 🙂
