Here’s a new video, delving into the studio’s direction in story telling.  It seems like this story centric MMOG is making things quite different. 

I for one am really excited about this title, based on 2 things alone: Star Wards and Bioware; two names that are synonymous to “awesome” in my books.  My biases aside, I am glad that someone is actually putting a strong emphasis on a story line, especially YOUR storyline in a MMOG.  It seems like most other MMOGs provide a basic story (sometimes a very GOOD story), but makes it seem really cookie-cutter.  It seems like you don’t really make a difference in the story. 

It remains to be seen how well the game translates what the video presenters are saying.  A lot of developpers have said that their game will do one thing or another, then when the game comes out…it’s not quite as they described it.  Alas, it is too far from release to confirm to 100% how things will develop.  Closed beta feedback might change a lot of things too….

Ugh!  I hope it stays as good as they’re describing it.
