No! Say it isn't so...
That was the only thing keeping me in business. I was proud of my 60k nest egg at level 21...I guess any return is better than no return.. Sometimes I just have the game online while watching TV or doing other tasks, just repeatedly sending out my companions on Slicing missions.
The game overall feels like an offline single player game so far. Very little interaction with anyone, unless we are fighting for the same spawns.. I felt more comraderie with my fellow players during the beta, now it's just a massive world to play your single player game.
I play a Bounty Hunter, and I feel the choices in dark/light storyline and choice of companion are all wrong. I had a plan set out to be a emotionless BH who worked for the credits, not trying to be good or evil. But every choice I make seems to imply I am the worse person in the world commiting the most horrible atrocities, or just plain selected the wrong opton. And they could not have provided the worse starting companion..I swear we were accidentally given the Jedi Knight companion...
As for space combat...I didn't think I'd like it, but it is pretty fun. Yeah I would have liked free-roam space better. But it is a nice diversion from running around, and it yields alot of XP, and rewards..
