E3 2011: Gameplay Demo and Q&A with Daniel Erickson

Daniel Erickson hosted a live demo session of a level 26 Bounty Hunter questing on Tatooine from the E3 floor. While playing, Daniel fielded general questions (asked by community members to Stephen Reid via Cover It Live). You can watch the livestream here.

Hit the jump for a recap of the interesting tidbits learned.
  • Tatooine is a mid-20's (around 24-28 in current build) planet and is the first planet where Republic and Sith can openly clash.

  • Anchorhead is the main Republic outpost on Tatooine.

  • Bounty hunters will get a Jawa companion named Blizz.

  • Speeders will be available as mounts.

  • There will be different quality (speed) mounts, and special hard-to-get mounts for those that seek them out.

  • No Ewoks will appear in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

  • Droids companions will get special droid-specific items.

  • Companions still in flux - will receive another revision soon.

  • No slavery in TOR - you cannot sell your companions!

  • When you die, you can either respawn at a med center or use a medical probe to revive where you died. The medical probe revives you in a 12 second duration stealth to get to a safe location.

  • Class quests gate content. Leveling solely through PvP is difficult and not recommended.
