They're on public record stating that they won't be using any of their normal revenue-enhancing devices, so it's going to be interesting to see if they have some other trickery in mind, or if they're just going to double-down on DA4 as a live service.

Reminder that Avellone hates Star Wars because he's a relativist fag.
Which is why I might actually have some hope for this.
Is he actually a lead writer and not just writing one character or something like that?

Ethan Wood
Does everyone actually fuck you over in this game or is this just a mega dick run?
Colton Hernandez
I get what you’re going for, even though I’ve always liked the original trilogy as movies. It’s that while I like them as movies, it’s not like the setting is anything special on itself, it’s just that episodes IV and V are damn good genre movies on themselves with great pacing and a tone that teeters nicely between light-hearted adventure and darker moments. I think that the setting has some ideas that would make a good foundation for a game, but there’s no way in hell I’m gonna buy it just because WOW STAWA unless the game is actually really good and has ideas that carry it on its own legs.
Nathaniel Hughes
It's the mega dick run, but everyone's got their own agendas. It's a spy game after all.

There’s plenty of fucking over in the story to go around no matter what, but barring some main plot moments, you can influence a lot about it all. Hell, play your cards right and you can get someone else to fuck over people you want to be done with.
If there’s one thing that the game does well, it’s choice and consequences, you can end up killing almost every character you meet, depending on what you decide to do. On the other hand, you can also get some very unlikely allies by playing your cards differently. It’s really impressive game with all that, and worth playing once just to experience it all, even though its also a heavily flawed gem with its shit combat and overall jankiness. Certainly a very divisive game, for example one of my friends who usually likes RPGs and has similar tastes to me ended up straight up hating the game, while I very much love it despite its flaws.
Jaxson Ross
Avellone is a washed up has been and EA is incapable of not fucking customers over
Levi Torres
It was Respawns decision to make a deal with the devil. I have no sympathy for them
Isaac Adams
It was my first exposure to science fiction (or fantasy, you know what I mean) past Heinlein novels. The archetypes ring true, and the original trilogy is something of a foundational myth that hit me harder than hours in a church pew ever did.

My only issue is that I wish SW wasn't so influential with constant references to it in other media. Everyone jerks it off too much.
Hudson Jackson
I still watch that SW:Battlefront story trailer on occasion. We could have had a tragic hero fighting for the Empire. The people who made that trailer understood that.
Hudson Long
Until I see the combat/movement I won't judge the game. I have a feeling its going to be lackluster or you won't feel powerful enough. Plus Sekiro really ruined 1v1 duels so unless they go full Jedi Outcast/Academy I can't see another combat system being able to do saber vs saber combat well.
Caleb Martinez
nice try shill

You guys think we'll be able to choose our saber forms? Wanna get that Soresu and Makashi if you know what I'm sayan.
Isaac Ross

>any of their normal
Obviously they'll just make new shit up, in-game currencies you either grind for eons or buy, maybe gating even the story behind pay/time walls. And, of course, "expansions" (really just DLC) out the fucking wazoo.
You cannot be too paranoid when dealing with EA, these people really are out to fuck you as thoroughly as their lawyers say they can get away with.

I'm probably the biggest fan of Jedi Outcast. It was a very straightforward game that gave you a decent sense of power and swordsmanship to feel like a jedi warrior. In its own understated way, you were indeed just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions.
Saber combat: The jedi knight series had saber combat down pretty well, even introducing forms in outcast and academy. THe jedi knight series also understood what a lightsaber does. Some stronger enemies needed a few decent hits on their body to die. Even so, some reborn for example would still go down in one good hit. You'd even get a neat animation or some tasteful dismemberment. I want fallen order to continue in that fashion. Understand that lightsabers are incredibly powerful and would triumph over most things. Since you're supposed to be a padawan, I'm hoping progression would begin clumsy then become precise and powerful. Force unleashed would be the wrong direction, your lightsaber(s) were practically just decoration.
Force: This shouldn't be a hard skill tree to design. You can start with a weak singular push that you eventually grow into a stronger wave push. I guess the problem is what power would you include and allow the mc to have. Also if there is a morality component. Dark Forces 2 allowed you to learn light and dark to up a point in the game. After that point in the story, your actions in the game determined your alignment, and you would get the opposite side refunded and unlock stronger abilities. Kotor just added a mana penalty to using dark as a light sider. Jedi outcast and academy let you learn all of it. The force really shouldn't be hard to make satisfying in a video game.
Environment: The trailer showed force imbued wallrunning, so I'm hopeful for exploration. No way there isn't force jumping either. Another want is some kind of sense of danger. You're supposed to be a jedi after all. What I don't want is too liner or too open of an environment.

Thank god Chris can finally show his talent, unlike in the dullest RPG of all time. Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
Easton Cooper
Good point, it'd be bullshit to create a force godlike then kill him off. Also why I wish they'd go beyond the skywalker era of star wars, or at least get out of trying to fill the gaps between the movies. Really limits your narrative stretch. I think it'd be possible to have the mc become an arguably strong character. He doesn't need to learn crazy dark or light powers like lightning or armor. We have no idea how combat will be til saturday is the problem. If we could, combat similar to attack/block/parry of sekiro would fit nicely. Force ability can also lend itself beyond pushing enemies around. Reflexively dodge an attack. Disarm. Lash your lightsaber out. All abilities you could skill out too. Guess what I want at the end of the day is for respawn to realize what kind of flexibility they had. Also for EA to keep their goddamn paws out of it but everyone knows how that will likely go. Disappointing to see a rich and dense star wars universe get misunderstood and mishandled so hard. How fucking hard can lightsabers and force power be?!

they will after the rise of Skywalker . I think we need to be atleast strong even to beat someone who has some Jedi knight training and trained under Vader for atleast 2-5 years like second sister if she is bariss but yeah it really depends on the combat system. I doubt we will fight Vader maybe if theres no sequel hook so if he is final boss I'd like him to feel like it . force wise I think it will level out to how Ezra was in season 2 or 3 but I think we might get a specialization in what ability cal is a master in . if we go to malachor I can see us learning dark side abilities from the presence holocron if its before rebels
Samuel Murphy
all of Second sisters especially if she's bariss offee

So that absolves the first two points I made? They couldve revealed gameplay with the trailer when it first released.

Having to write for Nu-Wars heavily limits your options. Star Wars is already an extremely limited universe for telling stories, it's always Rebels good, Empire bad, big space lasers, TIE fighters, AT-ATs, lightsabers, USE THE FORCE, cameos by movie characters, etc etc.
God forbid a writer creates a story in the Star Wars universe that isn't explicitly about resistance against the evil Empire. It's like nobody in this entire galaxy has a life outside of being either a rebel or an Empire-certified professional asshole man.

Writing can't carry a game if it's shit in every other category. Also Avellone is an overrrated hack that's not even that good.

They've got the Star Wars there too, so maybe they're trying to make you think the game actually came out 15 years ago and is a classic from before the dark times. I mean, no one would be stupid enough to put two logos famous for indicating a giant fuck you to fans on their product, right?
