After the Fan Site Summit at the BioWare Austin studio, this week's DevTracker Highlights are full to the brim of information and follow-up. I'd like to remind everyone that these are just highlights and encourage you to read them all on the official DevTracker. Principal Lead Combat Designer Georg Zoeller covers line of sight, character slots per server, skill distribution, companion characters, the meaning of the word immersion, and addons. He also humorously follows up on last week's question of what a day in the life of a BioWare developer is like. Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert expands on the usage of action bars and their placement in the user interface. Lead Writer Daniel Erickson discusses the role of companion characters and tries to illustrate how much story is in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Lead UI Artist Michael Voigt addresses specific questions and concerns about the newly revealed user interface. All of this and much more after the break.

An embed of the video is now available below.

Additionally, Bioware has released a developer blog with Lead UI Artist Michael Voigt detailing the work that goes into creating the user interface in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
