Want to give us a quote, a link or some sort of reference? Maybe even tell us who "they" are since you are using a pronoun with no prior referenced noun?

Or I assume you'll be like the rest of the asshats here and just leave it at that.

I would not discount this as a motive.  I'd hope BioWare would be more aware of this.  But I'm sure the graphics will undergo many changes before this thing is ready to even be alpha tested, let alone get to closed beta or an open beta.

There are a lot of people out there with insecurity problems, I'm afraid.

Just look at all those SUVs...

CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

I think Nadaqash might be referring to what the Kotaku article mentioned:

kotaku.com/5066929/star-wars-the-old-republic--what-we-know-so-far



"The lightsabers in the screenshots will shrink – but not by much.

Art Director Jeff Dobson says that Old Republic will not have a totally realistic art style; but neither will it be too cartoon-y. The idea here, he says, is that they want a distinct look for the MMO that sets it apart from all others – one that will run on as many machines as possible without sacrificing the quality of the graphics."

 

That's the quote from the article.

Waiting: Star Wars: The Old Republic, Xenjo Journeys Online (Chinese MMO), Hero's Journey, TCoS, Dynasty Warrior Online, Stargate Worlds, Champions Online, LEGO Universe

Current MMO: Warhammer Online, Florensia Online, Belle-Isle (Japanese MMO)

Past MMO: SWG, Lineage 2, VCO, 9Dragon, SoF, Hero Online, RFO, FFXI, PotBS, Perfect World, AoA, Cabal Online, Zodiacs Online (Chinese MMO), Mabinogi, CoH/CoV, WoW

Yet to Try/Test: AoC

Wisdom is our greatest strength. Do not think yourself as weak because you''re not physically strong.

The images are just displaying what the engine can do, its not final shots of what characters will look like.

Lightsabers during the events of KOTOR and earlier werent as large as they are depicted there. Lightsabers during that period looked similar but were slightly longer than the ones in the time period of the films.
 

I imagine that these screens are simply just "Hey, look, we're making a game!" images, and not what we'll see during Alpha and Closed Beta.

My personal fav lightsaber is that of Palpatine, because it was so small. I love those small, elegant, one-hand lightsabers, and it looks all the more powerful. I hope they make them smaller than in those pics.

When I'm good, I'm good. When I'm bad, I'm better.

It's probably just an aspect so that you can actually see the customizations that you can do to them in the game.

But there is hope. Look at this screenshot from LotRo Alpha, and compare it with today:

that looked crap!

I was in beta for that and even going back months later things had changed.
