Our dissection of the Star Wars: The Old Republic content released during E3 is now online. As in our prior dissections, we will add new content in as we find it, so keep checking back. Feel free to let us know if you notice something we missed, and we will be happy to add it to our dissection with credit. Note: If something is mentioned in a prior dissection, then we do not reiterate it again here. Low bandwidth users should note there are numerous images contained in this article. Click the images to enlarge.
Well that is disproved by the fact that the imperial agent is involved in the conversation as well during that clip. The same thing happens in the sith warrior/inquisitor video.
Yes I know the Agent is involved in the quest. But what I'm saying is that we are seeing the UI from the perspective of the Agent as if we were playing him. The green speech bubble is for YOU'RE group mates. If we were seeing it from the Bounty Hunters perspective then the green speech bubble would be over the Agent.
You can tell the Agent is the first person character because the portrait is bigger. As in he's not a group mate.. he is YOU so to speak.
I'm right.. as the group entered the conversation in the multiplayer video.. everyone besides the consular got a green speech bubble.. because the consular is the first person player.
Okay to image 13/22, BioWare has already stated and confirmed there will be Companion customizations so you can knock that out of speculation for that specific screenshot. Also, the last image, shame on me, because I don't get it one bit. So how about a tiny explanation for some of us who don't have that great of a nerdbrain. Besides all of that, nice work. Looking forward to seeing more.

Han Solo was frozen in carbonite at the end of The Empire Strikes Back. It is one of the most iconic scenes in the history of Star Wars. So...yeah...
Going off a comment below about unique design of armor, and how much there will be:
Did anyone notice how detailed the NPC armor is? Most MMO's (even the behemoth WoW) have very pixelated, not unique armor sets for NPCs. You can tell they are NPCs just by the lower quality design of their clothes. Bioware has blown me away on their attention to detail to make the NPCs look as legitimate as the player characters. I think it is an important step to take to make the "fully voiced" mmo feel believable.
The Dashade companion was seen on the Fury Class Imperial transport. To my understanding, each of the 8 classes will have a unique ship (one class for the trooper, another for the bounty hunter, still another for the inquisitor, etc). We also know that the companions you gain will roam your ship, similar to the KOTOR series. I am curious, since the dashade is seen on the Fury Class Imperial transport, does this mean the Sith Warrior will have the opportunity to befriend a Dashade as well? As always, spectacular finds DH Team/Community.
Speaking of dissecting the new E3 content, I wonder if the "Hope" trailer suggests that Force users are able to use the Force on the environment (i.e. taking down a tree, hurling objects at the enemy, etc).
James Ohlen said that companion characters would be getting different gear as they leveled. Further proving pic 14 is the same guy.
""You're gonna be able to customize your companion character in different ways," Ohlen continued. "Your companion characters are going to be leveling up and getting different equipment." "
I was under the impression that every class gets his/hers own ship and is different from every other class. It seems though that the ship for both Jedi and Sith classes are going to be the same. If the companion in the Jedi ship is Qyzen Fess then it should be a Consular ship, but we've seen a Knight approaching it. Same goes for the Sith ship. Teneb Kel seems to be a Inquisitor, but we are seeing a Warrior in the clips.

Posted 6/29/2010 7:53:48 PMThe guy in Carbonite is a salute to Hal Solo from episodes 5 & 6. The SS is most likely from a Hutt Palace somewhere on Hutta.
