Klingt ganz so als würde SWTOR II Realität werden... als Story-Arc von SWTOR. Game Updates die die Story in eine ganz neue Richtung treiben, anstatt einem neuen Game, genauso hätte ich mir das auch vorgestellt. Ein MMORPG hat eben den Vorteil, dass man keine gänzlich neuen Fortsetzungen entwickeln muss, sondern das Kern-Spiel fortsetzen kann.
A man can have anything... If he's willing to sacrifice everything. Step into an epic story-driven adventure as your character becomes The Outlander, a veteran of the Great Galactic War. A third faction threatens the galaxy as we know it, and your choices will determine the fate of both the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic. Knights of the Fallen Empire includes the first nine chapters, fueled by BioWare-style cinematic storytelling, that kicks off a new player-driven story arc that puts you at the center of a conflict where your choices have impact on outcomes including unexpected twists and betrayals. Choose your path…join or betray companions, old and new…and shape the future of the entire galaxy as well as your own. Best of all, this is only the beginning…

ARCANN The Dark Prince. "Destiny is a lie." Destiny is a lie. Fate is the falsest of hopes. I am beyond prophecy. I forge my own path by making the difficult choices. Now, it is your turn.
I am not without mercy. Surrender and you may live. Stand against me, and I will turn you into a monument for fools who believe their victory is preordained. Choose wisely.
VALKORION The Immortal Emperor. "I can make you powerful beyond reason…if you will only kneel." Everything until now has been the means to an end. I forged the Empire of Zakuul to surmount all of my previous works. It will span eternity.
Do not presume there are limits to my power. The Eternal Throne commands a fleet that will reshape the galaxy into any image I choose. Whatever you hope to achieve by opposing me, know that you will never succeed.
LANA BENIKO The Dark Advisor. "I deemed you a worthy ally once. I hope I wasn't wrong." The Sith Empire and Galactic Republic have fallen. The Jedi and Sith have retreated to their temples. No one remains to stand between the Eternal Throne and the utter destruction of all we hold dear.
It has to be you. Find the strength within yourself to persevere and sacrifice your own needs for those of the galaxy. You're our last hope.
VAYLIN The Remorseless Prodigy. "Rules are for people who lack the creativity to break them." I have always been held back. All my life, my power has been restrained for fear of the chaos and bloodshed that I might inflict on a whim.
But our whims represent our truest selves. And now that my power is fully my own, I intend to be very truthful.
KOTH VORTENA The Exiled General. "We're going to win this thing. I’m telling you, its destiny." I grew up on Zakuul, served in the military. I know its potential for greatness, but all I see is the bleak reality of what it's become.
Someone has to stand up to tyranny, right here and now. To make it clear that we reject this twisted vision for the galaxy. Someone has to own up to their destiny and fight.
SENYA The Vengeful Enforcer. "Even Emperors must answer to the law." I have served with honor. I have upheld the law and pursued offenders to the far corners of the galaxy. And I have lost everyone I ever held close.
The worst among us now rule over us. Their laws will never bring justice to the monsters who betray our ideals and murder our children. But I will.
HK-55 The Loyal Bodyguard. "Declaration: Meatbag defense protocols engaged." Lament: I am programmed for your maximum protection, but hostile meatbags continually demand I reactivate my termination subroutines.
Reassurance: I have no particular wish to harm the stupid meatbags. I was merely designed to be especially good at it.
Affirmation: Anything that threatens you will wish it had never existed, master.

Im Grunde klingt das alles sehr düster und so als hätte der Imperator irgendwie aufgegeben und seinen mittlerweile dritten Namen angenommen. Nach Tenebrae und Vitiate nennt er sich nun wohl Valkorion. Dass weder Darth Marr oder die Republik noch eine Rolle spielen bedrückt mich irgendwie. Ohne die beiden Fraktionen ist es imho nicht mehr Star Wars, doch unsere Entscheidungen werden ja das Schicksal beider Fraktionen bestimmen.
Entscheidungen werden in Fallen Empire gewichtig sein und das beste Beispiel dafür geben wohl bisherige andere BioWare-Spiele ab. Ich erwarte nichts weniger als dramatische Entscheidungen im Stile eines KotOR I. Und womöglich wird man tatsächlich Gefährten beseitigen können, was auch an KotOR I und einen Teil von SWTORs Beta erinnern sollte.
Und das ganze ist für Abonennten sogar gratis. Fallen Empire ist scheinbar doch kein 4.0 und da das ganze in 16 Kapiteln abläuft... nun ja, was kommt dann? Ich bin mal ganz mutig und behaupte das nächste Addon. Irgendwie muss man den neuen Story-Arc ja auch abschließen oder irgendwie abrunden.
Das ganze scheint ein "Abstecher" zu sein, der uns vom Fraktions-Geplänkel wegführt. Klassenstories? Nicht vor bzw. außerhalb des nächsten Addons. Player-driven ist nicht bloß eine Phrase, es ist auch ein Code für "klassenneutral", ganz ähnlich wie die Story auf Ziost.
Sind Imperium und Republik Geschichte? Ich bezweifle es. Vorerst scheint jedenfalls ein Trip nach Zakuul anzustehen und wenn ich mir Inhaltsangaben generell so ansehe führen diese gerne mal in die Irre, vor allem wenn Marketing-Leute ihre Schlagzeilen darüber anbringen. Ich sehe in Fallen Empire (solange nichts anderes offiziell bekannt gegeben wird) jedenfalls einen Abstecher wie auf Manaan und Rakata Prime. Man zieht einen Alleingang durch und nachher kehrt man wieder zu seiner Fraktion zurück.
Wo zur Hölle steckt Theron Shan? Das ist imho die wichtigste Frage zu Fallen Empire.
Was ich befürchte ist, dass die Opfer-Thematik wörtlich zu verstehen ist. Man wird sich zwischen Gefährten und innerhalb der Story für oder gegen bestimmte NPCs entscheiden müssen. Ich sage nur Mass Effect (I). Man kann nicht Kaidan und Ashley retten, man muss sich entscheiden. Ein solcher Moment wäre zwischen Theron und Lana vorstellbar.
