Default Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic

I'm not really sure how to describe the scale of the game. The total amount of explorable areas is quite large. Like, way, way bigger than anything in Dragon Age or Mass Effect. Not as big as WoW, but it's had several expansions that added land to it.

The way the world is structured is that every planet has a certain amount of explorable areas, with quests, NPC's and such. Each planet has enemies and quests that are good for a certain level range of players. You use your space ship to fly between planets. There's also a space station for each side (Empire and Republic) that houses a ton of vendors and trainers.

There are also these things called flashpoints, aka dungeons in WoW, which are instances that a group of four players can go into and complete. There is usually a series of boss enemies separated by smaller enemies, concluding in a very tough boss fight. You're rewarded with gear, credits, and commendations. Commendations are a special currency you use to buy gear - there's PvP commendations, flight commendations (for upgrading your ship), and commendations for each planet.

Right now I have a level 27 Powertech Bounty Hunter on Shii-Cho.
