SWTOR Livestream Companion Wrap-up

Have any questions on companions in Star Wars: Knights of the fallen empire?

Question #2: Will any new companions have conversation quests? Question #3: Will any old companions have new conversation quests? Question #1 – That understanding is correct. Question #2/3 – Are you specifically talking like “in your cantina or on your ship” type conversations? Or just dialog directly with that Companion?

Top 3 Reasons to play KotFE – The Vulkk Edition

New Level Cap During the upcoming spring, players will be able to advance their characters from level 60 to level 65. We know that this isn’t much but it’s absolutely better than nothing at all. The game is going to be letting players go to more new places than ever before. The new 5 levels means that there will be alterations in our abilities, also a new utility point and most likely another shuffle within the DR system will happen. Each time that the level cap goes up, the end-game gear either becomes obsolete or is barely an entry level for the new end-game content.

SWTOR Fallen Empire story chapter length and new content

A new video that was published by Lady Insanity shows many details about chapter length, unspecified new content, and romance choices that has been revealed from BioWare. Some of the key points in the video are: Chapter 1 will be the tutorial chapter and many of the abilities will be locked. However, you can unlock abilities as you progress through the game. All subscribers will receive the free level 60 character and it will have plenty of gear to kill enemies in Chapter 1 but you won’t receive any credits. All of the chapters will be at least 1 hour long altogether. This includes cut scenes, choice wheels, and conversations. Some of the chapters will actually be longer than this.

EA posted a snippet on the official EA site, of a preview with Creative Director  on Star Wars: The old Republic Jesse Sky, on the upcoming Fallen Empire expansion coming in October. BioWare goes back to its roots for: Knights of the Fallen Empire What goes into crafting the new expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic – Knights of the Fallen Empire?
