The only problem with them putting it in post launch is that we'll already be well into our companion's stories by then. I wonder how they'll make that work. I guess if anyone can do it its bioware. Maybe they'll give us new gay companions. Just please dont make them like the flaming elf in dragon age :P


I am rather hoping that they will, at some point, allow us to revisit past conversations to (perhaps) make different choices and visit the different voice acting paths. (and they are VERY well written and 99.9% of the time seem to be very well acted. :) )

However, I would LOVE to share with you how I believe it will happen with the post launch romance arcs with companions, but I don't want to break NDA.

That said, I have yet to encounter a romance arc with any of my (female) companions. I dunno, maybe I'm just not charming enough or don't let my character bathe often enough. >.> "GOD your armour stinks! Wait... is that you?! Oh my GOD! Can you go... I dunno... Irradiate yourself, or something?!"



Those usually come late in most bioware games. so im thinking its probably well into the gameplay, probably after you get close to maxing out their affection or whatever. i cant remember what its called. I havent played in a couple of months.

I don't totally get the difference between monitors and TVs. Besides that TV have built in receivers, of course. Is the quality of HD tv's as good as you get from monitors these days?


No, my max resolution is 1920 x 1080. Honestly, though, that's enough for me. The higher the resolution, the more I have to adjust the text size to be readable and the weirder it looks to me. Also, even though my tv is "240hz" (240fps) Nvidia seems to say it's restricted to 60hz. Though when I'm in games, I often see my fps jump up over 100. I don't know if that's what the game is attempting to push to the TV, or if that's what the TV is actually receiving. I'm guessing it's the former, though.

I am perfectly happy with my 53" monitor, though; I love playing games from bed. :3

Let me tell you from experience, all the classes are fun to play. well, thats not true. i wasnt all that excited playing imperial agent, but thats just me. i couldnt get into the whole [REDACTED]. The nice thing is that just about every class can fill every role. I think this is going to be a very alt heavy game. Its a good think we'll have guilds for both sides.


Dunno if that info was made available to the GP. :3 But yes, that part is a bit tedious to me, as well. I think it should be an automatic thing and sometimes don't even bother with it. I just let my companion take all the heat / tank for me.

The IRC channel is not completely deserted. I often grace the IRC chatroom with my presence when I'm online. Most of the time I'm by myself but often NicholasJohn himself shows up.

Zepari has been known to show his face now and again, as has Doogiegood and a few others but they're much more seldom.

In any case hang around and I'm sure you'll run into a few of us :)

Re: Threeways

wow. amazing video.

And thanks for all the responses.

At this point I am thinking maybe one big monitor might work best given the amount of space and money I have. Maybe 27" but I'll have to see prices.

I can keep my old monitor as a second monitor but it'll be a different resolution so it wouldn't be for gaming.

I don't totally get the difference between monitors and TVs. Besides that TV have built in receivers, of course. Is the quality of HD tv's as good as you get from monitors these days?

Not sure what that is but I know I do not log into vent (or any other type service) to just chat. I will if we are raiding or there is a particular difficult quest we need to cooridnate on.

I'm probably one of the odd ones who don't like to chit chat over vent while playing. I tend to get to distracted and die alot.

I use 2 ~20" monitors at work, and it works out pretty well. I have a large HP al in one at home, and I can't imagine using a second or especially a third monitor


I imagine having 3 50+ inch monitors all the time. :3


Id love to see a pic of your setup. I used to use a dual monitor setup, but i just dont have the room anymore.

Re: Anyone Beta Testing?

October 14 2011
I was in beta a few months ago, but i pretty much stopped playing. Seeing as how the game is so story driven, i didnt want to get too far ahead. I only played about the first 10 levels of all the classes (minus smuggler, cause who really want to be a smuggler..) to help me decide what i like.. Unfortunately... i like them all. :(

Oh I get enough of those already and I'm only 7 years younger. But Simpsons still has it's moments. I love how they have a flat screen in the living room instead of the old box and the kids have cell phones and Homer texts. :lol:


I never even noticed the flat screen. I'll have to pay more attention next time I watch it, which will probably be whenever the Halloween episode comes on ;) I know Matt Groening was commenting just recently about how Bart has had something like 3 separate 10th birthdays.
