Editing Star Wars: The Old Republic (section)

===Return of the Je- ...that guy people really wanted===
Recently, the developers have started paying attention to their customers and have introduced content for things that players really wanted, like customisable housing and guild capital ships. As well as a plot arc involving "tactical" dungeon crawling that isn't as strict on party make-up, so required less time sitting queued in group finder.

While it is certainly too early to tell if it will re-invigorate the game, the current plot arc has now ended with the return of '''Revan''' - that guy who you played as in the very first KOTOR and cleaned up after in the second KOTOR. Possibly turning the next major expansion for the game into a proper third instalment and perhaps a completion of the entire plot arc, which was something that was promised at the very beginning. Revan turns out to be a crazy megalomaniac after being tortured for three hundred years and players have to kill him.

Up until this point you only got to encounter him once on either faction and for only the briefest of side-missions which was not actually essential to progress your story, rather than having him as the major player that the previous games and all the surrounding fiction made him out to be. Even allowing you to beat him in a mid-level boss fight, turning who was supposed to be the most badass character in the star wars universe into a bit of a pansy.

He's here now and he's pissed. The latest expansion took a bit of a sidestep and did "Pirates of the Caribbean IN SPACE" ''(coincidentally also owned by Disney)'' and has you running around on the Star Wars equivalent of Tortuga. But then it went back on track and took to a  tiny world ''(relatively speaking)'' where you discover yet more significant plot twists regarding Revan and work your way to fighting him at raid boss equivalent. If you want to go solo, rather than weakening Revan (and cheapening it) the game provides you with a temporary NPC group to help you out.

Still, Bioware seemed insistent on disposing of one of their most famous characters outside of Commander Shepard so this is probably the last time we'll ever hear from Revan.

Unfortunately, the damage done early in the game's history appears to have become irreversible, and even his reappearance does not seem to be enough to counter the game's inevitable decline. That being said, their latest [[Derp|"promise"]] now seems to be a focus on storytelling, since they've implemented about as much as they can with the aforementioned customisable housing and the micro-transaction system. They've indicated that more large expansion packs will be coming in 2015, giving players more meat to grind through.
