You think Star Wars Legos are kiddy? You should try World of Warcraft.

Looks soooo good if its not for the mac that will be a bitch move really. Make what seems like the perfect game but only to have it ripped away from mac gamers is a shame.

why do people keep comparing the options system to mass effect... if anything mass effect copied the style from KOTOR... i think.

will DEFINITELY spend money on this game tho, IF my computer can handle it.

I'm on the fence. It's my love for Star Wars and KOTOR vs my bloody hatred for MMOs.

I've never played an MMO before, but this looks awesome!!

i don't really mind the "kiddie" style, I think it looks pretty good.

I really, really wish they had gone for a realistic look, but I'll still love this. What other option do I have? The day Cairne Bloodhoof died, WoW died.

Whats this talk of "kiddie" and "toon" look, its basically an updated version of the style used in the first KOTOR games.

And its too much to ask to make an MMO using graphics going for photorealism on this kind of scale. They don't have an unlimited budget and time frame, and they definitely don't want to alienate users on lower end machines. So don't wish that they had gone for a realism approach with the graphics because its flat out impossible.

I think that making this game a MMO was a mistake, honestly. It would be better as an old school single player game.

There are way too many MMOs coming out, CrimeCraft, Aion, Cataclysm and THIS. HOW WILL I CHOOSE?
