Alright figured Id chime in on this since I put in several hours on it recently, so far I'm enjoying it well enough. The universe is extremely rich and theres just lore and details pouring out from everywhere, in fact, theres a little too much, your kinda overwhelmed by it at first and it can quickly scare away some gamers but I didn't mind it that badly. The same goes for the story, its politically charged and its actually rather intriguing, and the more you look up info about the various species you deal with and events and facts about the world, the more interesting it becomes, and the game gives you plenty of info but its all totally optional to look at so you choose how involved you get into the plot and thats pretty cool. The combat is interesting, its not say as engaging as the top tier shooter games, but its an RPG. Your movement is a little sluggish and you have to be patient when shooting. You can't just spray guys quickly, you have to shoot in spurts and let your accuracy regain, or if your exposed too much your shields will disappear and you'll have to stay in cover longer, other than that, it works well enough and you get some abilities which change up your tactics so things stay fresh.
I'm not sure Que is going to like this next part but other than those main points, the game paces and plays very, very similar to KotoR. You explore the main areas, acquaint yourselves with the local folk, get various mini-quests for XP, various characters will join you and I'm sure you develop your relationship with each of them, and you level your characters the same way you do in KotoR. You can choose to customize your characters stats yourself or you can have the game do it for you, which is what Im doing mostly, but not all the time. Its probably my only complaint so far, while KotoR is an awesome game, the formula feels a little stale but its not all that glaring as the visuals are amazing and exploring is still a treat at least. Im hoping as the game progresses, the game will open up a little more than KotoR did. So that's pretty much it so far, I took a little break as my battery on my controller needs a recharge.
