In response to fable (ingrate),
1. I'm playing with a soldier/jedi soldier so I haven't noticed since Clayton, who always travels with the droids, is the only melee character I've got. I can understand your gripe and when I play through as a scout or a scoundrel, I'll remember this.
2. Agreed, even if trivial. The advertising for the game boasted over 14,000 recorded voice overs. You would think each NPC voice could have recorded, "Hey, we need to talk." or something like that. What I find to be worse is if you tell the NPC no, five minutes later he/she/it is bugging you again.
3. Pshaw! Clean my boots now if you please. As soon as I highlight over someone and see the word 'noble', I don't even bother talking to them.
4. Ding Ding Ding! This is my own biggest gripe about the game. There have been multiple instances where the journal seems to add quest info a little prematurely.
5. The puzzles are easy. That's all I have to say about that.
6. I think I've only had the party killed once or twice on hard difficulty. Once you really get rolling and amass a bunch of NPCs, especially canderous and zaalbaar who can make stims and grenades, you're all set.
Gripes 2 and 4 are ones that really bug me along with.....
The lightsaber is completely overpowered. I can only imagine the devastation with a party of three jedi. That's a lot of force (no pun intended
). I suppose the answer is to not use a lightsaber but I'm addicted to the sound effects.
I'd rather have a targeting reticule I can move as opposed to using the left and right triggers to cycle from one target to the next. With two NPCs, a few enemies, and a couple of containers you wind up trigger happy just trying to get to the desired target.
Other than that I am more than happy with the game. Playing on a console doesn't bother me as I've been playing games on consoles and PC's for over 20 years, basically back to the days of TV pong.
