Patch 1.2 for the immensely popular story RPG Star Wars game SWtOR offers some new goodies, like open world game content and basic features that should have been in since Day One. Like, you know, UI customization. Also, bugfixes. The important part, though, is the interview where Game Director James Ohlen describes the future of Star Wars: the Old Republic. SWTOR Hub has the story.
I still want to see the game as an open world 4X space sim like Privateer with Star Wars draped over it. Privateer is even an iconic profession in SW, what with Han Solo being one and all.
That link seems to point to the Half-Life 2 article from the post immediately preceding it.
Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.
