fuck yeah alderaan
So, here is a short summary of the planets you will quest on as a young Republic trooper:
Ord Mantell (1-10): Rocks and trees and stuff! Actually kind of pretty, in retrospect, although Tython (jedi start planet) is much much prettier.
Coruscant(10-16): City planet. Mostly gray in the questing bits.
Taris (16-20): Has trees, which is a plus. Has spacezombies, which is a minus.
Nar Shaddaa (20-24): space las vegas
Tatooine (24-28): desert
And then at 28 you get to go to Alderaan.
Sadly, Alderaan suffers even more from "everything is far away" than Tatooine did. (I think I've been spoiled by all the new Cataclysm flight paths in WoW where you can take a taxi basically down the street.) Mostly because of the fjords, so when your map's not explored, you head out to a place trying to get to a quest objective, and then you're like "oh, it's on the complete other side of this ledge and all the way down there." and you have to go ALL THE WAY BACK and around again on another path.
But it sure is pretty, so I don't mind so much!
Also, the taxis, which on most planets are speeders or hovercars or something, are
I'm never leaving. You can't make me.
(So far Alderaan has had a lot of quests where you have to kill elites. I kind of love killing elites because I am a healer, so my companion does all the DPS and I sit there and heal him. It takes like 2 minutes to kill one, but I'm also never in danger of dying? :D? :D?)
