Having stated that
story will be a main pillar of gameplay in The Old
Republic, I for one am hoping for an MMO where NPCs will finally
acknowledge my character’s place in the world, going so far
as to react differently to the next person who wanders their way.
I’m not just talking the usual, “Oh, your faction
bar is only half full, so I can’t offer you Quest X
yet” either. I want to have an NPC say, “Hey man,
you were an asshat to my friends so if you want to help me all
I’m going to offer you is the chance to clean the mud out of
my boots” or conversely, “That thing you did on
Planet X was pretty awesome… here, take these boots!
They’re a bit muddy though; let me have the asshat standing
over there clean ‘em off for you first.”
