Presentation: Cutscenes

While SWTOR shamelessly copied WoW, in one regard it managed to improve on its template right from the start: its quest presentation. Now of course fully adopting that system would be too much work (for starters, the full voice dub for quests) or too much work and wouldn't add that much (the mostly cosmetic dialogue choice system), cutscenes should be relatively easy to implement (at least I think so) yet still add to the game: visual representation. 

 

The one thing I never understood about the use of cutscenes in WoW was how rare they were - it's not as if they were fully rendered, they're just a polished version of the ingame graphics. Also, they never really show the PC, just the NPC bigshots. Making cutscenes more abundant (ultimately making them a regularly recurring element for all the important quests) and also making them show the PC as a, for lack of a better word, participating actor instead of a "player prop"  for the first time would be a nice addition and help with the immersion.
