Ok idk if cryptic devs will pay attention to this or not but i had a neat idea for the blogs, instead of blogs? make an animated video using the characters involded and the blog as a screen play, would make for some interesting entertainment :)

anyways just a though :)

    One of the areas of the game that really doesn't need highlighting is the cut scene department imho. And it would also take some work to do and might not fit the schedule. :)

    Junior's right. Animating the blogs would axiomatically take more resources than simply writing them, and with all due respect to Cryptic, their animation and (most) VO are really only passable.

    Ik i was just thinking outside the box , wouldv been nice to see these stories acted out by the toons involved but junior is right i wont debate that , still wouldve been an interesting watch :)

    Would be nice and right near the top of any wish list I'd make. But they can't really do it. At least not with the minimum resources they have to work from. Not saying they couldn't.

    (Now having said that, watch a bunch of cut-scenes pop up. I can still see all that identical arm-waving in SWTOR that game used badly in every scene.)

    -.-

    So, the OP wants a video, then text?

    Oh, they meant they want a something rather THAN text.

    If you want someone who has the power to make something happen to take notice, proper English in the title they have to click on will certainly help.

    Video blogs are a waste of time. Much faster to read text and find what you're looking for that watch some long-winded video.

    https://twitter.com/STOcorny , has done audio books from the blog's for the german speaking community. something like this could be done. and foundry authors / demo recorder people could do visuals. unfortunately demo recorder does not have lip sync yet ...

    Something other than text, you say? No. I read faster than I watch. Reading is fundamental. Ask LeVar!

    Would be nice even just an audio narrated story blog would be nice but it would cost money and they dont make any money from news/story blogs
