That conflict is great for game design, according to Boyd, because everywhere the Sith go, conflict follows: вЂњWith Sith, itвЂ™s built right in. ThereвЂ™s no Rule of Two, which means there are tons of them, and theyвЂ™re all constantly fighting. The Sith have continually been one of the high points of The Old Republic. ThereвЂ™s also a storyline where thereвЂ™s a civil war brewing among the Mandalorians.вЂќ вЂњThereвЂ™s a lot going on with Malgus, and heвЂ™s going rogue a bit. вЂњWeвЂ™re continuing a storyline that kicked off with our last expansion, and even before that with a plot,вЂќ said Charles Boyd, creative director on Star Wars: The Old Republic, in a call with Polygon. For example, new character creator options allow players to mix and match between their abilities, weapons, and stories they experience, instead of funneling down one of eight roads with stricter guardrails. The expansion also includes lots of important changes in the early game. The next expansion, Legacy of the Sith, introduces new endgame content in which players chase down a rogue Sith Lord to the watery planet of Manaan. The Old Republic developer BioWare Austin has been faithfully updating the game since it was first released in 2011. While the galaxyвЂ™s politics can change over time, and new enemies appear or are vanquished, the core of the game remains making those tough choices. Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMO with a strong focus on narrative content, and so the game has many tough choices designed to make the protagonist sweat. It can be a moral quandary, or a question of what to sacrifice. Sometimes, a role-playing game hits the player with a choice that is legitimately tough.
