Star Wars: The Old Republic: Difference between revisions

* [[Indian Burial Ground]]: The research facility that Czerka abandoned on Tatooine was built over a Sandpeople holy burial ground. Players will discover [[Sealed Evil in a Can|why it was abandoned.]]

* [[Invisibility Flicker]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6us30pCwbM Sith Warriors], [http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8999513#edit8999513 Smugglers] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ANqo9hYzOk&feature=related Jedi Shadows] can enter stealth while in combat, letting them do this.

* [[Instant Sedation]]: A scene (known as "29:30") from the beta where this happens to a Jedi (Padawan), has become infamous. It's not actually that unusual within the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] for Jedi to be sedated; Jedi Masters were surprised in the films, too.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Darth Malgus was married to the blue Twi'lek Eleena in the trailers.

* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Often taking the lightside path will lead to better results, or the darkside path is pointless and counterproductive to your goals. Players who wish to be fully darkside will have to grasp the [[Villain Ball]] tightly.

* [[Prestige Class]]: Every class chooses between two Advanced Specializations around level 10. Each one opens up two unique skill trees, and one that's shared between the pair.

* {{spoiler|[[Previous Player Character Cameo]]: Revan makes an appearance.}}

* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race]]: What the Sith Empire has become, the ones that aren't [[Stupid Evil]] anyway, ranging from [[Psycho for Hire|kill crazed war mongers]] to [[Noble Demon]]s.

** Jedi Master Corin Tok is a rare heroic version of this trope. A {{spoiler|leader of the Jedi on Corellia during the Imperial storyline, brags about being essentially invincible, nicknamed "The Sith Butcher" and compares himself to heroes like Revan and Bastila Shan. Kicking his face in is a rather cathartic moment for Empire players.}}

** Gyl Rosen from the end of the Sith Inquisitor's first act; a Nar Shaddaa crimeboss now in possession of the Inquisitor's ancestor's lightsaber. When you go to retrieve it from him, he rather arrogantly tells you that you are going to listen to his offer, and that he is backed by four of the toughest mercs on Nar Shaddaa; "They make the Sith look like schoolteachers". He then tells you that you either become his "personal Sith" and work for him, or you pay him three million credits for Lord Kallig's lightsaber. {{spoiler|At which point you can say "No", and shock him instead. Enraged, Gyl orders his mercs to attack, only to discover he doesn't pay them enough to tangle with a Sith. And then you can kill them all anyway, only to discover they're just regular mooks, hardly the Sith killers Gyl tried to fool you into believing they were. It's very pleasant to have Gyl screaming at them to kill you when moments before he was attempting to boss you around.}}

* [[Space Western]]: Smugglers, with their [[Badass Longcoat]]s, [[Nice Hat|cowboy hats]], and [[Cool Gun|revolver-looking blasters]].

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: The concept art for the Inquisitor class high-end armor.
