Beta Character Shots (SWTOR)

Overall the character creation is 'sufficient,' meaning not developed enough for me personally... but I think it will be enough for most players.  By far the cyborgs have the most customization ability.  Different races have specific aspects that pertain to them such as tattoos, markings, etc. However they all seem to have the basics in hair, hair color, face shapes, skin tones, and scars.  The one thing I would like to see better is the facial shapes as in the beta and probably in release it was only a slider with maybe 20ish facial choices... yes whole face packages... I wish there was an advanced button to at least adjust the nose and eyes separately. 


Human (Made to look like my Hubby hehe)

Pure Blood Sith.. what my main will probably look like

Mike made this guy... they kind of creep me out..
but they have a lot more customizations

I thought I would dislike this race.. 
but I am actually happy how she looks and may play as one. 

Mike's BH probably what his main will look like!

SWTOR: Beta

Soo... My husband got into the beta.. and we think I did as well.. as I was signed up over 2 weeks before him.. but probably deleted the email.. ops. ugh! Fortunately he was nice enough to let me play.  I am hoping that he will give me enough time to get to lvl ten..  but I'm the dumb ass that deleted my emails... So I am not holding my breath.

So far I am lvl 7 playing a Sith Warrior.  The story line that I am playing and the ones I have watched from him (Bounty Hunter & Sith Inquisitor) all seem very well put together.  I like the way they have the area set up so no one else can enter your main story line and kill the quest beasts/people and mess it up and make you wait.  Loading time on all the quests and stories for me has been minimal.  Seems to be very fast loading and the story progression is very interesting.  

the combat system is a bit different than what I am used to and took a bit to get a grip on.. but fortunately the first 3-4 levels are incredibly easy.  So there is a learning curve.  The movement is easy and fits a lot of game's common basic controls.. Which is sooooo nice.. you won't have to relearn a lot of short cut keys!

The game overall gives me a KOTR & Mass Effect feel.. yes the console games we all loved.  The choices when you speak to people are extremely fun.. and I would imagine it will allow people to feel as if they are really developing a character.  I'm currently playing my little Sith Pure Blood Warrior as pretty much as Evil as you can get.  So There are typically 3 options.. which I would assume are light side/neutral/dark side in conversations and choices.  

Graphic wise.. the graphics are suitable.. not out of this world rocking.. but great to good and seems to be easy to load. The character customization in creation is not as in depth as I would desire.. but I have high standards in that department.. spoiled with sims and Aion lol!  It has more options than 'most' mmorpgs or is comparable to.  I would anticipate most players will find it satisfactory as its not over loading options.. but has several to chose from.  

My only complaint thus far is just a weird graphical glitch in the bracers.. looks like a scarf hanging from the wrist.. So really for a Beta.. the game seems to be flowing very well.  I am defiantly going to play.  It also seems as of now a game I could play for a good bit.  

More to come later! School and cleaning to do! Hopefully I can play some more!

Free Games

So since quitting Warcraft for the time being.. I have found various other games to play for free.. 


Yes FREEEE.. Free is good.. however.. typically there is always a catch like better items/higher levels/all achievements.. which yes sucks.. but meh what the heck.. I am holding out for SWTOR (which I preordered Yesterday).. I have found two pretty decently entertaining sources for my gaming needs; Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/) and then little games on Facebook (Facebook.com)


Game Number 1: Spiral Knights
This is a pretty simple dungeon slash and bash pew pew game.  It fulfills my need for the whole distress/arcade... pretty much button mashing and basic game.. but its cute and free.


Game Number 2: Alliance of Valiant Arms
For a 'free' FPS.. This is pretty good in my opinion..  of course for the cool items and unlocks they want you to pay money.. but for a temporary fix or the simple need to play an FPS and have that PVP void filled it works really well.  The PVP is quite fun and the ranking system makes almost perfect sense to me.  


Game Number 3: Champions Online
So this is a good idea.. but you can only play certain specs and have a limited amount of skills and costumes.. If you played the non free version it is not quite as fun as i would imagine just starting as free is.. But you can do a lot for 'Free' and get your mmorpg fix in.


Game Number 4: D & D Heroes  of  Neverwinter
Very fun and addictive.  A nice dungeon crawl game that you can play alone or add other people's characters.  The nice thing about this game is you do not 'have' to bug your friends.. sure sending gifts and sharing is nice.. but you do not have to have all that spam on your FB page!


Game Number 5: The Sims Social
This game is incredibly addictive..  It reminds me of a simplified sims 1 but its cute.. and free and entertaining. Be careful tho as you will loose track of time.. and you do have to spam your friends.. 
(which is really the only bad thing that I have found with it.. trying to delete all those posts on my wall after I have checked the request..)
