ARR needs two simple fixes until an actual revamp

Even SWTOR cheapens out on voice acting a lot. I know that the Huttese is a favorite way of theirs to cheese the voice acting while still being able to say 'everything is voiced'.. the Huttese being generally reused gibberish that literally is just there to ensure a character has a voice.

Well the issue with SWToR was the base game was 100 million dollars built on a bad game engine. So adding new content when the expectation is always voiced is a problem. I understand why Square Enix does not want to do that because it lengthens your content cycle.

My idea is to make it less of a novel and add voice acting in the same spots you would expect it in Shadowbringers.

While there are multiple issues with SW:TOR engine issues are very far down the list. Yes their Frankenstein version of Hero is a disaster but that pales in comparison to the other issues that saw their population collapse down to 5 servers.

Essentially they naively though MMO players would be perfectly happy with just story. Even the people who took their time were asking "Where's the beef?" once they hit endgame.

Anybody who scratched the surface of their single player games was well aware that they did not have the technical chops to tackle an MMO. Sadly LucasArts was also significantly ignorant what it took. Story is a nice "extra" but it cannot carry an MMO.
