Re: Dragon Age: 1&2
I don't think there will be any Jedi or Sith playable characters, actually. I mean, sure it's awesome to be able to wield the Force and everything but if you think about it, it is a little overused. And by a little, I mean a lot. I think Lucasfilm is finally trying to give us a game where your character is ordinary... or at least, starts off that way.
Bounty hunters have the potential to be just as deadly and efficient as Force users, after all. Jango Fett faced off with Obi-Wan and managed to, not only, get away but also almost sent Obi-Wan to a watery grave (the Mandalorian's death was weak writing on George Lucas's part... -_-). Boba Fett faced off with Darth Vader of all people and survived. Hell, the man was swallowed by a bloody sarlacc and the damned thing spit him out! Not to mention countless other stories of epicness...
And if you think about it, Boba Fett was able to wield lightsabers without being able to harness the Force (he was a clone after all...). I think we're looking at the first console Star Wars game that is a true blue RPG as in we will be able to pick our own race and, hopefully, have another free roam world and be able play through the game at our own pace such as with KotOR and KotOR II. I think we're also looking at a heavy concentration on regular ranged and melee SW combat as opposed to Force powers and lightsabers.
Now, this doesn't mean that your character won't have other awesome abilities to make up for the fact that they lack Force potential. And I'm pretty sure at some point in the game your character will finally be able to wield lightsabers (though they may not be able to block incoming fire seeing as they, again, lack the Force). This is all just speculation of course, but considering that this is a " never-before-seen dark and mature world" Lucasfilm is obviously trying out new possibilities.
I rest my case.
