Star Wars: The Old Republic Trailer Confirms Bounty Hunters

BioWare has released a second documentary for their in-development MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. This one's entitled "Story and Setting" and explains how players will star in their own personal Star Wars trilogy.

What BioWare seems to be trying to do with Old Republic is to create an MMO with the same story depth as their single-player RPG's. Each player will have a story arc tied to their specific class. "You’re going to have as much choice in that one class as you would have had in an entire Bioware game before," said Daniel Erickson, the game's lead writer.

The video also mentions that you'll get to play bounty hunters, which is great news for the aspiring Boba Fetts of the world. For awhile it wasn't clear whether players would only be limited to Sith and Jedi characters or if they'd be able to branch out into non-Force sensitive classes as well.
