    Stuff I noticed from listening to it again:
    @ 26:00 - Every class in SW:TOR has a role in the over arching world
    @ 32:00 – Bounty hunter similar to smuggler but able to fight it out (more armor)
    @ 33:00 – Customization talked about, Lando capes confirmed, reflect choices of player in story
    @ 38:00 – Neutrality and light side/dark side morality choices on both sides, sith and republic.
    @ 39:30 – Different playable races confirmed
    @ 43:00 – Endgame activities will be in, re-rolling a bonus not needed, not going to hit a wall.
    @ 49:00 - Reiterated the fact that there's your own class story and then overarching world story that is going on at the same time.

    Dissection of the panel by Lord_Vaylen - According to the devs, certain abilities WILL be limited to either Dark or Light side...as well as abilities for those who choose to "walk the line" or "go grey" as the devs said. By their own words a neutral alignment is supported in the gameAlso... other races have been confirmed! They havent gone into detail about which, but to quote the dev, "There will be characters of various different races, some that you can play, some that you cant." Starts at around 39:35. So we know that humans aren't the only playable race, we just don't know what other races are playable I always figured we would have other races cause it would be kinda dumb not to, but alot of people expressed fear that humans were the only race. Put them to rest gents![/quote]
