I just looked up videos on the most important part of TOR, combat. I'm sad to say it doesn't live up to the combat in KOTOR AT ALL. It looks drab and boring with nothing innovative to be found. I was hoping this would be an MMO with some 3rd person shooter elements, making it easy for me to get into the MMO market. I'm sad to say thats not true, and I won't be getting it.
Tor =d

Though I disagree with the "drab and boring" part, you should look into the re-launch of Hellgate. Has that third person shooter element you are looking for. That was a big part of Hellgate: London that I loved.

The first 3 sw movies (the "sequels") were more about story, which was amazing for the time because of the heavy sci-fi element that wasn't even found in the only sci-fi series of that time (trek :/), those movies are so incredible innovation wise that over the top action isn't needed to keep you interested in the story. The prequels we're the opposite, they we're pretty bland storywise (except 3, which even then had plotholes) so they NEEDED over the top action to stay interesting.
Theres nothing innovative to the star wars genre coming from ToR. other than its a better MMO than Galaxies, which is not hard to do. Hell, even if it had a lightly engaged combat system such as D&D: Unlimited I'd pick it up quick, but unfortunately its the same (or worse than) WoWs combat system.
To be honest I was expecting this to be an MMO that is as engaging as KOTOR, but it let me down.
