QFT from another thread:
I love getting family members to play. The more the merrier as they say. I don't know if anyone has enough information save the devs to answer your questions but I'll give you something to ponder. It has been stated that the game will be mission (quest) driven, and that missions will play out like episodes of Star Trek. So what I would do if I were you, and you may even get ma to participate is this:
Choose an episode of Star Trek to watch. Determine which character that paticular episode caters to. Then become that character. Lets say you choose an episode of TNG and the episode largely revolves around Data. Then in your mind become Data, and with every scene, imagine having to talk to everyone Data talks to and interact with objects just as Data does, etc etc etc. By the end of the mission you will have played out an episode of Star Trek and might even get a warm fuzzy feeling deep inside from the message you got out of it.
If in that episode of ST Data encountered combat of some sort, then I presume your mother would encounter the same type of combat had she been playing a mission exactly like that episode you watched.
Some missions will have combat, some will not, just as episodes of Star Trek. Now there will be other areas of the game that is more combat oriented all the time I'm sure. But all of this is speculation on my part.
One very cool aspect of Star Trek is that we can indoctrinate new fans much more readily than any other group I know.... I can't even count how many people I meet who are potential TREKKIES. They sit on the fence, millions of them, going "Star Trek, Oh yea, that's a cool show". Do you have friends or family that had no idea and then you busted out that prized DVD collection - and "BOOM" instant Trek Technogeeek?
Super cool really. We have a new movie, probably catering to ( :eek: ) and indoctrinating the youth.
and we now have a very social MMO in which our family members might just participate, and even eventually desire their own account.
How cool is that?
