  I've seen it played, but I haven't gotten a chance to play it myself. I got the impression that you're a lightning-quick lightsaber-wielding Jedi badass, which interests me.

    I once dated a lightning-quick lightsaber-wielding Jedi badass. Somewhat of a hag, but incredible cook.

    Yeah, really, that's something that's rarely done with the Star Wars franchise. I've always wanted to feel like a complete force-wielding badass. KOTOR gave me that impression towards the end of the game, but this looks absolutely fantastic.

  I wish GTA IV had DMM. It has euphoira and it'll be awesome but the DMM in this game looks amazing.
