I did a few more random quests, and got a few levels, and soon after that, my thirty minutes were up. I experimented with emotes, pored over my inventory window and character sheet, switched around my equipment. I shot at enemies, played with my abilities, and ran around the map to look at everything around me. Next, I exited the building and started exploring. Oh man, some of the “evil” dialogue is just too funny. I’m usually the paragon or the “nice” guy when I play Bioware games, but since this was just a demo I turned up my jerk-o-meter and just acted like an ass, insulting my new-found friends to see what would happen. I met Mako, Braden and Jory, and picked up my first quest. The beginning was almost exactly the same as what we saw in the developer walkthrough video from a while back, which follows the Bounty Hunter character as he appears on Hutta trying to win entry into the Great Hunt. Once I finished reading, I clicked the mouse, and I was in. There was no cinematic or anything (for now, anyway), just a loading screen with information about the Bounty Hunter. So I don’t know anything about the character creation process, though I did notice after I selected the Bounty Hunter and entered the game world that my character was a large heavyset human male with slightly Asian features and something that looked like a cybernetic “patch” on his jaw. All the characters were premade already, which is par for the course for something with a focus like this. There were four stations set up for the origin demo - two Empire, two Republic. This way I’ll get to experience my favorite class, get to know it a little, but also keep the spoilerific moments to a minimum. In the end, a helpful fan next to me in line suggested that I go with the Bounty Hunter, but only do a few quests and spend the rest of the time sightseeing, fighting, experimenting with the mechanics, and overall just exploring to get a good feel of the starting world. And yet, I wondered if I should be choosing it to demo as it would be spoiling some of the quest content for myself.
But my first love is the Bounty Hunter, the class I plan to make as my main at release. Obviously, there were good reasons to play the Jedi Knight or Consular. With the Jedi homeworld of Tython premiering at PAX East, every class was available. Let me say it was a real tough choice when it came down to deciding which class to play.
