The main entrance stairs has a lot of hooks in this area, so if you want to absolutely deck out the front entrance to your stronghold, you will absolutely be able to. You&#8217;ll also notice some of these snowy features of the stronghold are really nice. There are icicles, there&#8217;s snow falling from the sky, and in general, you&#8217;ll have a beautiful vista of snowy mountains pretty much anywhere you go in the stronghold. And there are multiple sections, not just the castle itself. If you want to put a lot of companions or you want to put personnel, or maybe you just want to fill the entire entrance area with crystals, you should be fine to do that. You can also replay the cutscene &#8211; the introduction to the stronghold, as well as set this as your load-in point for the stronghold. Whenever you load in, you can load in right in front of the castle as opposed to out on the grounds where you normally start off &#8211; use the terminal to the side of the door to set your load-in point.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-7.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-7.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-8.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-8.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-9.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-9.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-10.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-10.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-11.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-11.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-12.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-12.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the actual castle itself.

And there are some hooks inside, not a ton, but just enough that you can hide a few of your most secret treasures or create a tiny grotto hideaway for your characters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-43.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-43.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-44.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-44.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-45.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-45.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-46.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-46.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Throne Room<\/h3>\n<p>When first unlocking this stronghold, I thought the Grande Hall was the throne room, but this is an actual throne room.

But this room, I think, could work well for a lot of things. So this throne room has a lot of area for banners on the sides of the hallways here if you want to show off your favorite sigil. And it comes with this kind of dais area where you can walk up onto. It&#8217;s got some nice scenery, and I really like the scene in the background. Sadly, you cannot go out in that area, as far as I can tell.<\/p>\n<p>But when decorating this room, a cool little addition they decide you could choose your own throne. So when you unlock this stronghold, you&#8217;re actually given this is the initial altar on throne that you can earn through crafting, and it&#8217;s this noble throne facade they actually give you when you unlock the stronghold. You get it for free, so if that&#8217;s what you want to use instead, you can totally use that. Or you can use a Dread Palace throne, or you can use maybe sit on this guy&#8217;s lap or this awesome throne of the Sith Emperor. And there is a lot of other different Thrones available in the game too. You could always use one of these speeders as well if that&#8217;s what you wanted to do &#8211; for looks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-25.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-25.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-26.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-26.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Balcony Overlook<\/h3>\n<p>Beside the throne room, there is another room.

So this could make a really beautiful resting place for your character with some nice chairs and stuff out here if you wanted. It could be a really good high-altitude place for like a Jedi meeting, kind of like in the Jedi Consular&#8217;s story.

As far as I can tell, they&#8217;re quite a bit to the side for the most part. You can&#8217;t see them when entering the main castle, are kind of hidden, I guess you could say. There&#8217;s not a bunch of Killiks roaming around your beautiful estate. So the Killik hives themselves are actually quite nice, and you&#8217;ll notice as we&#8217;re walking inside, there aren&#8217;t any actual Killik. DThere is a lot of hooks available while you&#8217;re looking around. It&#8217;s got this beautiful kind of purple luminescent glow that&#8217;s going on from both the Killik eggs as well as from some type of fireflies or phosphorescent objects floating in the air. It&#8217;s not a huge cave compared to some of the caves that are available on Alderaan for quest lines, but there is quite a bit of space if you want to decorate or explore. A really cool area for role-playing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-54.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-54.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-55.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-55.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-56.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-56.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-57.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-57.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-58.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-58.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-59.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-59.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-60.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-60.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the back of the caves, there is something kind of interesting. It looks like you can&#8217;t go any further, as far as I can tell. You reached a true dead end, and it says there is a hidden item here that you can see once you&#8217;ve unlocked the cave. Note I, as far as I can tell, you can only activate this item if it&#8217;s your own stronghold. You cannot do it as a guest in someone else&#8217;s stronghold. So you can use this item to scan for things in this stronghold. It&#8217;s similar to the Macrobinoculars for those of you who have unlocked those. But you do not need any special type of quests leading up to this.

This involves going to the actual planet of Alderaan instead of the stronghold. Its achievements can be found in the Strongholds section. You&#8217;ll go to Alderaan and find some special Killik materials that will allow you to craft your own Killik mounds outside of the Killik hives.<\/p>\n<h3>Drawing Room<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s also three tiny rooms off the Grande Hall. This is the drawing room, costs 900,000 credits or six hundred cartel coins. So it&#8217;s just a very simple side room. It&#8217;s called the drawing room. You can put whatever you want in there, though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-81.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-81.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-82.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-82.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Guest Chambers<\/h3>\n<p>These three rooms are going to be exactly the same.

It doesn&#8217;t have to be a guest chamber if you don&#8217;t want it to be.

This is called the mountain retreat.

If you&#8217;ve been waiting for a mountain chalet, your mountain retreat, but you didn&#8217;t want a whole castle, this is for you. You still have to buy that initial unlock so you can get upstairs to this area. But this is the area that you&#8217;re going to want to use if you feel that you didn&#8217;t want the whole castle. You can still have a beautiful Alderaan retreat. If you choose this area to be your main area, you can actually set it to be the point that you load into so you can kind of skip the castle entirely and load in just in this nice little chalet area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-91.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-91.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-92.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-92.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-93.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-93.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-94.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-94.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-95.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-95.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-96.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-96.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Up here is a nice little training area that comes for free with that specific unlock.

There&#8217;s the first, which is the Northern Lodging. It costs 2 million credits or 900 cartel coins. So inside, it&#8217;s just kind of a little maze of hallways until you get to the actual room. An interesting thing is that these two hallways are actually connected, these two lodgings. You can choose to unlock just one or the other, and they both cost 2 million or 900 cartel coins, and you can get to them from the other rooms. They&#8217;re kind of interconnected buildings. So let&#8217;s check out the first building&#8217;s main actual room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-120.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-120.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-121.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-121.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-122.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-122.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-123.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-123.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-124.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-124.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-125.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-125.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a very, very beautiful view, I think. A very nice room. I really love the window. There&#8217;s icicles hanging from the ceiling, snow falling from the sky, just a really, really pretty room, to be honest. I would have no qualms about just unlocking this area and not worrying about the rest of the stronghold. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little smaller, it&#8217;s not quite the apartment people have been asking for, but it is a really good alternative for a small, manageable kind of stronghold, I think.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-126.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-126.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-127.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-127.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-128.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-128.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-129.jpg?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e97et4x6scn.exactdn.com\/decorations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/alderaan-stronghold-129.jpg?strip=all&w=640\" alt=\"Alderaan Stronghold\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Western Lodging<\/h3>\n<p>Both rooms are the same price. It has the Western one has a weird little entry room, which is nice, has lots of hooks, and there&#8217;s a little window with icicles again. And this is the second room. It&#8217;s very similar but has a much more secluded view, which I thought was kind of cool. It doesn&#8217;t have too wide an expansive view, and this one might be better for those of you who want, who still want the beauty of Alderaan outside but want a little privacy. No one&#8217;s likely gonna be walking around outside their hut. And you might feel a little less agoraphobic in here.<\/p>\n<p><a

formatted\">\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the Alderaan Stronghold has been a highly requested addition, so the team was very happy to bring this to fruition with Game Update 6.1, \u2018Pinnacles of Power,\u2019 which went live earlier this month. To celebrate the release, we present a two-part conversation about the Alderaan Stronghold\u2019s creation. A future interview will discuss the Stronghold\u2019s functionality and design, but let\u2019s get things started with our first interview, where we sit down with Mark Taylor and Emily Henderson to talk about the fundamental formation of the Stronghold!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-www.swtor.com\/sites\/all\/files\/en\/promos\/2020\/February\/27\/alderaan_interview_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Since this is our first time doing an interview with both of you, let&#8217;s do a quick introduction. Who are you, and what do you do on the SWTOR team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>\u00a0I&#8217;m Mark Taylor, one of the Game Designers on the team. My role on the team includes Stronghold setup and creation of Stronghold Decorations, along with a variety of Cartel Market tasks such as Collections setup and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily:<\/strong>\u00a0My name is Emily Henderson, I am an Environment Artist on SWTOR. I&#8217;ve been with this team for about a year. It&#8217;s my job to take the designers\u2019 rough layouts of a level and build that into a beautiful player space, often referencing concept art and the player narrative. This involves building and placing assets from a library, as well as painting and forming terrain. Other than world building, I also work to make sure that our levels are within our performance budget for the best player experience on any computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Out of all the settings to pick from for the next Stronghold, what drew the team to Alderaan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>\u00a0Alderaan was easily one of the most requested Strongholds from the community, so it made sense for it to be the next Stronghold we released. We were all excited to see a Stronghold that could combine all the different environments that makes Alderaan unique, as well as having the regal feel to it. Personally, I was excited about the imploding mountainside to unlock the Killik Caves area and how it turned out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the process like for building this Stronghold from the ground up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>\u00a0It started off as a side project for me last spring, something I\u2019d work on when I had free time. Just working out the initial layout and trying to balance what looked good versus what was best for gameplay. As designers, we want to cram in as much fun content as we can; but Strongholds are a bit different in that we need to make them interesting, but still leave things \u201cempty\u201d for the player to customize themselves. For example, the valley area in front of the palace is really just a big, empty field. In a normal gameplay area, we\u2019d be able to fill it in with trees, rocks, and maybe buildings to break things up. But in a Stronghold, these would just block player\u2019s decorations. The compromise was using a river running through the field, as it doesn\u2019t block the view of any decorations the player might place down while breaking up the monotony of an empty green field.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually things progressed to a point where we looked it over as a team, and it was officially scheduled to be worked on. That\u2019s when Ben, Skott, Emily, and the rest of the team came on to finish up. Some of our best ideas came up from random conversations, like \u201cwhat if this mountain blew up?\u201d or \u201ca stained-glass window would look great here\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily:<\/strong>\u00a0Mark had a pretty good starting base for the stronghold so working from that was pretty easy. Beginning with that base I polished up the rock base for a more realistic landscape and natural structure. I then painted and sculpted the terrain with respective foliage to fill out the space. Building up the vistas at all viewpoints was the next mission and required careful placement of landscapes that felt real and logical. New ideas came in and were built upon constantly until we had something we thought the players would really enjoy. Two examples of this would be the balcony behind the throne room and the cave behind the waterfall. Both were suggested through tester feedback and prior forum discussion. We built upon these ideas until we had something that worked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the unique landscape of Alderaan, were there any challenges in balancing the different environments?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily:<\/strong>\u00a0There are always challenges with giving the player the feel of a limitless landscape while actually limiting the landscape. We overcame this by opening vistas to long expanses of land and views of other mountain tops as well as giving the player large areas to run around and discover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To wrap things up, what were each of your favorite parts or aspects of this Stronghold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong>\u00a0I love mountain views, so the different vistas are by far my favorite parts. I feel like the views are such a big part of Alderaan and it all turned out just as great as I\u2019d hoped!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily:<\/strong>\u00a0My favorite part of the stronghold is the secret cave behind the waterfall, because there should always be secret caves behind waterfalls. It was super fun to create and explore. I also really enjoyed making the balcony overlook and vista behind the throne room. Sometimes interiors can get claustrophobic and repetitive, so having that overlook really gives the player room to breathe. Plus, it\u2019s a super sweet spot for an outdoor jacuzzi.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time, Mark and Emily! Later next week we\u2019ll release the second part of this two-part interview where we talk to two other members of the team, Skott Bechara and Ben Brzowski. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p class=\"swtorTitle\">The Alderaan Noble Estate Part 2: Functionality<\/p>\n<div id=\"node-320581\" class=\"newsText formatted\">\n<p>Welcome to the second part of our two-part interview discussing the Alderaan Noble Estate Stronghold, recently released with Game Update 6.1, \u2018Pinnacles of Power\u2019!

Beyond placing hook layouts, I made sure the rooms were versatile and had satisfying options for decorations, adjusted spawners, and balanced hooks available with decoration caps for performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:\u00a0<\/strong>My earliest tasks with the Stronghold were the area setup basics, essentially making sure everything functions as you would expect for an area in our game. This included elements like being able to travel to it, making sure it was mapped properly, making sure rooms were accessible, and more. That transitioned into designing for things like decoration hooks and overall area ambiance (little things that make a place feel more alive).<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the last Stronghold, Rishi, there was a secret achievement involving a certain little turtle, is there anything like that on Alderaan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:\u00a0<\/strong>As far as secret achievements go, I\u2019d just like to say [REDACTED].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything else that makes this Stronghold unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Skott:\u00a0<\/strong>Though the Killik cave is novel and a unique feature of a Stronghold, I think what sets Alderaan apart from the other Strongholds is the number of options available to players to create the things they feel reflect their characters\u2019 personalities. Strongholds are a fun way to tell your own story by way of the environments players can create, so flexibility was key\u2014even to the point of allowing the placement of decorations that might intersect with the Stronghold\u2019s innate geometry. We didn\u2019t want to worry about making sure every decoration could fit in every spot, especially if that meant players could create something special and unique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To wrap things up, what were each of your favorite parts or aspects of this Stronghold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Skott:\u00a0<\/strong>As a roleplayer, a peaceful, solitary, mountainside fortress is exactly the kind of thing my Force-sensitive characters need to catch a break and refocus. I like that the Stronghold can range from imposing and powerful to serene and picturesque. I think the environment team did an incredible job, and I personally love seeing the screenshots roll in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:\u00a0<\/strong>I think one of my favorite parts of working with the Alderaan Stronghold specifically is getting to work in the setting. I personally love the highlands and alpine forests we see in Alderaan. Getting to work with Skott and go through the gamut of our process of brainstorming ideas for the space, and then figuring out what we could accomplish from that vision was a great time. I also really enjoyed getting to work on something our players have been really wishing for. Other than that, I definitely loved [REDACTED].<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time Skott and Ben!

Together with artists and engineers, a relatively small sub-team of developers took on this project to bring this opportunity to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><strong><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixGuard wixui-rich-text__text\">\u200bAdditional from Ben&#8217;s website: <\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">In the Alderaan Stronghold (the in-game name for customizable player housing), called the Noble Estate, players are able to use &#8220;hooks&#8221; to move and place earned or bought cosmetic items to decorate their housing as they see fit. Together with the other world designer I was working with, we made sure the Alderaan Stronghold had the most hooks available to players in a single Stronghold. What we didn&#8217;t anticipate, however, was the need to balance the total number of available hooks against the performance-gated decoration limits for the area. What followed was one of the healthiest player-dev communications I have experience in my career. With our close relationship to the community and the ability to test our changes via Public Test Server (PTS), we were able to tune and adjust to give players the best balance we could.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comp-k4rmgcbv\" class=\"MazNVa comp-k4rmgcbv wixui-image\">\n<div class=\"j7pOnl\" data-testid=\"linkElement\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in the mountains of Alderaan, this stately manor has been home to many of Alderaan&#8217;s aristocratic class.
