I have run into a lot of people during the show who ask what I thought of my hands on with the game, and the short and sweet of it is this: If you liked habbo taler Tortage experience, it felt like the whole game was basically like that, only with way higher production values given the fact this is Bioware after all. For me, this was not a bad thing. I had figured Bioware prepared a demo build for E3, and I was attempting to beat it only to discover that it was actually the full version of the game they were letting us run around in. I did not realize this until almost two hours later, which I think speaks for it as far as how much I enjoyed the experience. If you like the idea of playing an Imperial spy, you will probably be pretty happy with Bioware implementation.
Oh and here is a little gem for you geeks out there like me. If you're wondering how Bioware is accounting for the fact Chiss are suddenly prevalent throughout the galaxy, at least enough to be represented in Star Wars: The Old Republic as a playable race. Daniel answer was, they are not. which leads me to believe that races may actually be faction, and perhaps in some cases class specific.
