Community Q&A

Q: I’m worried that Force powers may be overpowered in comparison to non-Force s… Will this be a problem? (asked by Luke)
A: Every character Old Republic can look great and run well on a wide variety of hardware configurations. To that effect, we’ve done as much as we can to create a compelling, detailed world that can scale easily based on your hardware’s abilities.
Q: Is there a jump button? (asked by Phillip)
A: Absolutely! Exploration and basic movement in the world definitely have to be fun on their own. Obviously, we expect players to be engaged in Combat and Story for most of their game time, but you will still need to get around and figure out how to get places. If you can’t jump, that takes away a lot of the “realism” of exploration.
