That's asking a lot for an expansion, of course. I'll inevitably be making some more alts, but what I really want is more class stories.

That still leaves you with a lot of combinations, though. To experience the Jedi and Sith stuff, you'll still need to be a Force user, and you won't be mucking around with lightsabers if you're gallivanting through the galaxy as a Han Solo knock-off. Class and story are now being separated, so you'll be able to experience the smuggler storyline while using the bounty hunter's bag of tricks. It came very close to BioWare's original goal of making its MMO Knights of the Old Republic 3, 4, 5 and so on.Īs well as Legacy continuing the story, it's tweaking how you experience it, particularly the original class stories. When the class stories ended, BioWare struggled to get back the magic, even when it returned to its roots and reintroduced Revan, but then came the transformative Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, with missions and companions strongly evocative of singleplayer RPGs.

At launch, the highlight was the class stories, giving players eight unique adventures, each with a liberal dose of agency thanks to an abundance of dialogue choices.

It's such a pastiche of different genres and different types of characters and stories that I think you have a lot of opportunities, despite it all needing to be Star Wars.' Where SWTOR goes from here It can be a spy, it can be a smuggler-it supports all different types of stories, all different types of storytelling. 'It can be a grand space opera, good versus evil thing, but it can also be a lone bounty hunter wandering around just doing jobs. 'Star Wars is one of the most broad IPs,' says Boyd.
