The art direction of The Old Republic is a blend of realistic and more animated styles, without leaning to the extreme in either direction. With notable voice actors such as Lance Henriksen who will voice the Jedi "Master Gnost-Dural", BioWare claims the amount of voice work is 10 times the size of KOTOR or 40 novels' worth of content. The game features full voice acting including the player character, companions and other NPCs (Non-player characters). The game also features a Mass Effect-style dialog wheel, which lets players make dialog choices. The Old Republic will feature many common MMO aspects such as crafting, guilds, and PVP.

The player can make choices throughout the game will influence and determine their alignment towards good or evil, otherwise known as the light and dark sides of the force. Players choose to join either the Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic at the beginning of the game. The Old Republic aims to maintain the core gameplay and principles of the previous Knights of the Old Republic games in a new large online environment. The Old Republic takes place approximately three hundred years after the events of the first two Knights of the Old Republic games.
