SW:TOR Update 27/3/10 - Character Biographies and Short Story

Well, well, well, we are being given something new for once. We have been given an expansion to the HoloNet, containing biographies on characters that will be in SW:TOR. However, it isn't portraying anyone new, as we have all heard who Nem'ro the Hutt is (from the Bounty Hunter walkthrough), and who Grand Moff Kilran is (from the Instance walkthrough), as well as knowing about Satele Shan. Despite knowing the character's names, we hadn't really heard much of a background on them, so it is a nice treat to read through their biographies and learn a little about them.

This was very interesting and new. It was cool to get a little back story on some of the characters that you will no doubt be working for or against. And I couldent help but notice that little 100 million credit bounty on Satele Shan

I actually very much enjoyed this update and the character stories were definitely a good read and they all look like very interesting characters to work with/against ingame.

And that is quite a large bounty on Satele... very enticing.

I'm thinking that the people there putting on the biographies would a faction leader, like a raid is held to get through and enemy city and kill there faction leader. I haven't had time to check out the short story yet but it sounds great.

If you haven't read the developers tracker recently here is a quote Sean.

Biographies is the foundation for something more... what exactly that is, I can't tell you quite yet. All I can say at this time is stay tuned; E3 2010 isn't that far away and we actually have some exciting (and new) updates for you before then.

Sounds good to me.

I found this update very interesting, particularly the fact that theres room for neutral character. SO there will probably be options for quests both factions can do.

Corellia for the next planet update anyone? After reading that short story it has to be in there, possibly a second smuggler planet as in the walktrhough video they said the smuggler is getting arms for the republic (if they want to) this seems the place where you would deliver.

Something tells me in the storyline we Bounty Hunters will try to get that 100 mil bounty but won't quite succeed heh!
