Jedi in SWG is as much of a pain as it is fun. You end up spending months grinding out xp before you can even have any force abilities. And even if you get the xp quickly enough, the are forced waits between training skills and stuff I think. It's a huge and complex process to actually become a Jedi.
I had more fun in SWG than in maybe any other game I've played. But it wasn't like modern games. I haven't played any newer games that make you grind out xp the way you had to in SWG. Going back to play it now is mostly nostalgia.
And about ESO, I can't believe they released an elder scrolls game without the thieves guild or dark brotherhood!!! I would almost always do those before the main quest.
