The second part of Gamespy's The Saga of SWG is now available, subtitled 'The Problem with Jedi':The conflict between player expectations and game design presented a huge problem for the Galaxies development team, which came to a head as the Jedi started to appear. The Jedi are the consummate warrior/magician class -- and their enormous power makes them a magnet for power-gamers. Needless to say, Jedi couldn't be commonplace: it's not only against the Star Wars mythos, but it's really scary from a game design perspective. Nothing would ruin the Star Wars experience faster than a couple of Jedi "L33T kids" with nigh unstoppable powers and the ability to cause grief for every other player in the game. |
