So SWTOR basically just snuck up on me, with me not know anything about it and it being released in like 2 days.

so can anyone give me the pros and cons of this game or reasons to buy/avoid it.

i played wow for years and been playing rift for 6 months.

Will i enjoy SWTOR if i enjoyed wow(pre cata), rift, dragon age, witcher, skyrim, mass effect?

basically im asking you guys for help on whether of not i should buy this game.

thanks

We can't tell you whether you're going to like something or not. If you've taken a look at the gameplay, you think it looks good, and you don't mind paying full price plus a monthly fee, then get it.

There isn't really much to know with SWTOR. It is a very traditional type of MMO with strong story elements, and some pretty flashy pvp. If you like traditional style MMO gameplay, and care about story, then it's going to be a pretty winning combination for you. The only thing you need to consider is how much you're willing to pay for it.

I've been playing early access, and it's great.

It has a few teething problems currently, but I have faith.

Popular opinion is that it is mechanically identical to WoW, bu the games focus on storytelling is the major selling point.

Story takes precedence in the game, from what I've heard for each class there are 5 story arcs to their personal storyline, when you hit the level cap at 50 your still in the 3rd arc.

Trademark Bioware choice also is involved in the game, in one of the first few sith instances the dialogue choices you make determine where you go in the instance and what happens to the npc's within the instance.

Basically if you are okay with SWTOR's iterative hot-key based playstyle and innovative storytelling (for an MMO) then I think you should pick it up.
