“You’re seeing how we’re doing that in The Old Republic. We’re merging story in in a really seamless way. It doesn’t feel tacked on or added, it’s actually there from the ground floor.

Building that emotional engagement.” – BioWare boss Ray Muzyka, speaking to Joystiq on keeping true to its values and roots in the company’s 16 year history.

“People seem to find it hard to go back to other MMOs once they play The Old Republic; because there’s a real sense of purpose to everything. We have real choice for the game. But because there’s personal choice, there is always personal consequences – there’s no going back you know? You can’t simply load up a previous save game and see ‘what if’. That’s really exciting from a moral perspective, because it’s personally impactful. We’ve found a way to integrate group combat, with group exploration, group stories and explorations – yet, there’s still a great sense of a personal story. People couldn’t imagine how you could pull that off in the MMO space – and we did that.”
