Chat: Blows now. It's just like WOW where you have to hit enter before you talk.

Specials: Very awkward to use in an intense combat situation because you end up jumping before doing a special about half of the time.

Combat in general: I liked it. I'm not a FPS fan because I tend to be a little slow on the draw when it comes to aiming and shooting, but the CUNT seems to be slower paced than the average FPS, so I was enjoying it. PVP is kinda fun because it's not as "hitty" as it is now so there's a lot of blaster bolts flying everywhere and no one getting hit, just like the movies.

Professions: I tried smuggler and the smuggler specific missions I tried were pretty cool. Nothing earth shattering, but at least I felt like I was a smuggler. What i hate is the apparent combat ineffectiveness of any character that wants to be an entertainer or a trader. If you choose those professions, that's all you can do. There are no hybrids anymore, so you can't even be an ineffective fighter as a dancer.

Quests: I did a couple after getting to Mos Eisley and what I thought was the neatest is the fact that you don't get a speeder anymore. You can earn one, steal one, or scavenge parts to build one while fighting off Tuskens in an area called "Junk Town". I chose the missions to scavenge the parts and thought it was a blast. It felt very Star Wars to me.

As for RP? Well, it's still pretty much the same game and I like that it kinda forces you to be more of a bad ass in combat to play one. There's no more compensating for being a bad fighter by buying the best food/weapons/armor...now you can have the best shit, but if you can't aim using the mouse, you should probably just give up now. IN terms of RP, the only thing this change does is make us adjust how we RP and fight. Nothing more. I think it'll actually make people RP better because there's a lot more left to the imagination in this system.

Hitting enter to type and WASD movement, I went to that with the new keymap after the CU. To keep from jumping around, just unmap the spacebar.

Can you jump over the tiny logs on Rori now?
