Droids would be pretty cool and they could mix up the droid body type to different variations of droids. Could also do male, female and neutral personality options with droids as well which would stir things up even more. As for the choice of specie...  [Read More]

Yeah... the company that made games such as X-Wing are now simply errand boys... kind of like how Rare Ware made games such as Donkey Kong Country and Perfect Dark and now look at where they are... they're nowhere really, they do practically nothing...  [Read More]

They don't cancel anything at LucasArts, they just stop making stuff. It's not a very difficult concept to grasp... technically TOR isn't even a LucasArts game, it's a BioWare game. LA does nothing....  [Read More]

Also note that if you're a Vanguard/Powertech, your Ion Cell/Ion Gas Cylinder will activate the use of your equipped shield, giving you extra benefits from that. If you switch to another type such as High Energy Cell/High Energy Gas Cylinder then you...  [Read More]
