Okay, so, what happened was: -I hit 'play' on the launcher -the game changed the resolution of my screen to something really low -the game popped up as a tall, thin box in the upper left corner of the screen -the bioware and whatever other companies opening thing played on that tiny box, but squished -I waited a minute or two for something to happen after that, but nothing did -my computer crashed Then when I restarted my computer, the screen was blank but it was seemingly running normally otherwise. I googled it on my laptop, and was able to fix that by unplugging the external harddrive the game was installed on, because apparently it was something the game files themselves were doing, so I plugged it into my laptop to delete the files so I could plug it back into my computer. After I rebooted the computer the screen was working again, but the resolution was still really low, which I did manage to fix and everything is seemingly back to normal now. But I have no idea what happened because I couldn't find anyone with the same exact problem I had. Huh, that is weird. Were your graphics drivers up to date? Only other thing I can think of than a wonky game install is the graphics card not playing nicely with it. I mean, I don't have the absolute newest drivers, but I just updated them when mea came out so it's not like they're really outdated. I could try updating them and downloading the installer again. |

Yeah I last updated mine when ME:A came out (and what a nightmare that was.) You could try the tips here before reinstalling the launcher, especially as you have to redownload the entire game for it. If that doesn't fix it, I've no idea.  |

Is the female Smuggler voice the same woman who voiced Aerie in BG2? I love the Smuggler's attitude but can't help but envisioning an avariel when I hear it  |

She also voiced these two little terrors. It's hilarious when a prolific voice actor ends up doing a lot of characters in one game, like She Who Must Be Praised Jennifer Hale.  Especially if the actor's characters have dialogue with each other. Stop talking to yourself! |

Jennifer Hale can even flirt with herself in SWTOR. It's great.
I've played SWTOR for years but not so much recently. I like playing most classes but prefer healing with a Sorc/Sage. I kinda want to take a character through all the story again and romance Lana but I might wait for double-XP.

I hope they bring it around again with the next part of the Iokath story (if there is story and it's not just throwing in another Ops boss with no preamble.) |

I need to go back and keep playing, I still need to finish my first run on the regular story lol. But yeah one thing that's been pretty exciting is the voice acting, almost every single voice I recognize from another game or tv show.

I love Jennifer Hale because she's so versatile and can present very distinct voices and personalities. Nothing against some other voice actors, but there are a few where I'm like "oh it's Jim Cummings" or "that guy who voices all mentor figures who die within half an hour of the start." (rofl)

I'm terrible at voice actors but these ones are recognizable enough for me to know. |

Manaan stronghold is coming to SWTOR on July 11th. I'm returning. I love that planet from KOTOR, and I want a damn underwater bedroom for my male Togruta, Cazran!

It's been a long time since we got one. In the datamined video, it doesn't look bigger than Yavin but people are saying it is. I hope it has lots of big hooks like Yavin does because I have an abundance of statues. |

I just hope it's not crazy expensive, because my main only has 60mil credits and I'm a cheapskate. Are they planning to release lots of new decos along with the SH? I need more decorations. I was able to put most of my big stuff in my Tat SH, luckily. |

I was able to put most of my big stuff in my Tat SH, luckily. I'm not paying 20 million for a Coruscant stronghold. Yavin was around that to unlock everything I think. I have 70 million right now. If it is crazy expensive I will rage quit. As for decos, there are vendors on Fleet that have like Yavin and Rakata decos. Maybe those will be swapped out for new stuff when this happens? I think they said they're changing up vendors over the summer. Dunno if that is just for gear or what. They're never clear. |

Hopefully they'll add more decos. There are a few themed ones and ones you could probably match to it. I'm still waiting for the teased Zakuul stronghold, though buying up decos for that has been rather expensive. Tempted to buy the Zakuul Knight armour to dress companions up and use their decorations for it though. Any luck the Manaan one won't be too expensive, I know a lot have been asking for it for some time now. |
