I'll freely admit I'm a little torn on this one. On the one hand, I like the relationships between Revan and T3, Revan and Bastila, Revan and Canderous, etc. here. But on the other...*sighs* I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just have a bad feeling about this. That's all.

....That is a good point. About diehard fans walking away, and them trying to sell to n00bies.

Gotcha, gotcha. My only beef with TES series is the combat system. If I want an RPG where I can control specific actions of my character, I'll play Mass Effect or Diablo 2. Not to bash on TES too much, but the combat, IMO, is a haphazard point-and-click-hack-and-slash. But thats just me, its neat otherwise.

They even said as much, trying to make it appealing to a wide a range as possible.

The combat is much improved, much much improved, nothing like Oblivion. They've included dual wield, and the moves look much better. You have to think out what kind of attack you want to carry out, or block. They even have the graphic cut scenes of killing blows.
