Luke from Ferrago informed us that they have a preview of Star Wars: Galaxies online at their site. Very detailed and a informative, as this snippet about character generation shows:
When you actually get around to creating you character, you will discover that it’s a little different from the likes of Everquest. In Galaxies, there is no level system, instead LucasArts have optioned for a ‘Skill System’. The Skills system will utilise skill trees, as you start learning a skill, it will develop and branch out, giving your character a great many skills to master. The skills trees will not be linear either, LucasArts promise, as you can change to another skill at any point (you may feel that blaster repair is a lot more vital than crop-tending skills, for example). This ‘system’ should mean that your character will develop a great variety of skills and no two should be alike, meaning, hopefully, greater player diversity. It’s also interesting to note that aside from the obvious allegiances (Rebel or Imperial); LucasArts seem to reward the player who prefers to go it alone. There are very few ‘clans’ within the original package. Obviously a great many will appear when the game finally goes online, but it’s nice to see that the developers have gone for this approach for a change as it could lead to hundreds of warring factions… Which would be something to behold, certainly. |
