As we continue our coverage of GamesCom 2010, Giancarlo Varanini from Gamespot interviewed Daniel Erickson about space combat and the advanced classes. Lot’s of new tidbits were revealed including:
- Space combat may not be entirely optional
- There will be access to rewards and other things through space combat
- Advanced classes are “total class systems” not just little offshoots
- Described advanced classes as very much “works in progress” (no word if that means the names as well)
- Companions will factor in a big way into your class built
- Companions may be assigned their abilities by “kits” you give them – for example, any companion can be a healer with the right kit
- Daniel remarks that the Force is not magic, which makes the choice of the name Wizard for one of the Jedi Consular advanced classes all the more curious
