in short: Hell Yes.
I don't get excited for games, typically. Even games I Love and adore like Mass Effect and others. They are games I look forward to playing and all that, but edge-of-my-seat-can't-wait-to-play-I-must-have-it-NOWism? Never. I have hit that plateau with TOR I can honestly say. When my time in the weekend beta test was up I was honestly depressed that it was over. The Game isn't complicated to learn the ins and outs of. The combat, while not teeth gnashingly difficult, won't make you headbutt your monitor in frustration either. The Voice acting is solid and I adored the RP and story aspects of the game. It's all very Bioware so if you love their style of games, have no fear. I only played to about lvl 10 or so as a bounty hunter,sith warrior,jedi knight,and smuggler as I plan on buying this game and didn't want to be completely spoiled by the beta testing. Something else of note, during my three days of testing,which they explained was a stress test weekend, the beta I had zero crashes and no noticable lagging. PVP and PVE are on seperate servers and easily marked as such. The Graphics of the game didn't bother me a bit and I was one that raised an eyebrow at the look when it first was shown. The character creator is a bit bland, but there IS enough for people to differentiate themselves from one another significantly, but if you're looking to adjust 'eye depth' and 'nose width' then as far as I could tell you're out of luck. Everything I saw was smooth and polished and none of it struck me in a 'wtf' manner. I was blown off my chair by this game. I can't wait. If you have questions, I can try to answer you.
and a tidbit: My Sith Warrior and his companion, Vette on the Imperial capital world.
