Trooper: Hands on

Just an article explaining the hands on at GDC for the trooper. Also bit of information on questing.

Just follow me

Man, this looks so damn legendary! I love the fact that they showed two Troopers fighting side by side, and the different armour variants. It's also good that they showed the Trooper without his helmet on. The Trooper holding the large blaster cannon appeared to also be either larger muscles than his fellow comrade. Also note them saying that there is no auto-attack. We have to do everything ourselves. Great find, Davan!

Looks amazing! really cool that he dosen't have an auto attack. makes you feel like your doing more stuff then just clicking the button once.

Looks cool, though it still doesnt convince me to play trooper.

One thing I did notice was that the author mentioned that several of the quests had the well known counter (11/20 Rebels killed). This confirms my fear that the quests will be like any other MMO, having quests that involve killing X number of mobs, of collecting Y number of items from creatures.

Thats kind of unavoidable in my opinion. If you really think about it, any game has kill x number of mobs, or collect y nu,ber of items.

that was really awesome, Im really getting exctied about all of this and it looks like complete customization may be a possibility.

Thanks for the link Kaiser, I found it to be a much better article than the others.

Aye, thank you indeed for the link. Lots of high-detail, thorough information there. They've probably give un more information on the actual game in one article than the Bioware Devs have in a year and a half. Most important thing I got out of this article is that Troopers are able to have a "Main Hand" and "Off-Hand", along with their "Ranged Primary" and "Ranged Secondary". This is telling me that Troopers are able to use swords, I think! This pleases me greatly.

You will change your mind when you see the Smuggler hands on articles (I want it now) they are soooo much better than troopers (at smuggling type things)

Hmm still doesn't make me want to play trooper. I'm sticking with BH

Ahhh!

The articles make the Trooper sound awesome!!

I still reckon my main will be a smuggler though, the idea of being a Han Solo type character has so much appeal in my mind.
