System Specs

TOR was a huge letdown for me. I am a massive Star Wars fan, so I was really banking on the uber customization BW is obviously capable of. Some people say customization doesn't mean anything in MMO's, but for some people it's huge. Especially in a game where your character is front and center on the screen every time you acquire/turn in a quest!!!! The customization/character creation is one step above "non-existent", especially when you compare what BW is capable of from their games. A game based on a galaxy with thousands of species and unlimited possibilities and my character is limited to four races? 4 eye colors... 10 faces (all with the same noses or eyes, ears etc in some cases)... 4 body types: druggie, skinny human, tall steroid freak, and Boss Nass. And it continues into gear customization and other things, just a huge let down.

Other than that... it's okay. I played beta for probably 3 months and was seriously hoping to see some (very demanding) changes that weren't made. I guess I just overhyped myself for this game. The game is alright though and some of the good areas are the voice acting and crafting seems to be kind of fun. The space combat is extremely limited and railed but is pretty fun for an offworld escape now and then. Hopefully many things will be implemented and addressed in later updates like a barber shop, more visual options (AA for f***s sake!), more customization options, etc.
