Now that they’ve been separated from specific class mechanics. Like, now people can play a Jedi Caster and get the Knight Story. People can play a Sniper and get the Trooper Story etc. Is anybody thinking about giving a specific now-Origin Story a try now that you can choose your preffered combat style to go with it?

So Imperial Odessen has the former Alliance Commander as some kind of representative to the Empire, either on the Dark Council, Keeper, or part of the Empress'/eror's Hand. When joining the Republic however, Odessen will be getting representation in the Senate. Who do you think will be Odessen's Senator, and if you could pick, who would it be?

Especially if the Outlander is an Imperial Agent or Republic Trooper. It's run essentially by two members of the factions intelligence services + the Outlander, who, regardless of background, has participated in military campaigns. Just an observation I had. How do you see your Alliance? Militarist Stratocracy led by Colonel ******? An Intelligence-led coup of the Galaxy? A Jedi/Sith Ordenstaat? Discuss!

Looking to start a discussion about what Political Parties, lobbies, special interest groups, and factions might take shape in a galaxy-spanning government. Besides the war with the Sith Empire (later dealing with living under the boot of the Eternal Empire), I could see a split similar to that present in Star Wars: Bloodline, with one faction in favor of centralization and one more in favor of devolution of responsibility to sector and system-level governments. Also, how involved do y'all think the Jedi might be in the politics of the Republic? As its sworn defenders and peacekeepers, how might they view such issues and in turn, how might the Senate view them? Particularly with the whole raising-children-from-infancy thing. Also, I was impressed by the character transition(development?) of Leontyne Saresh, from backwater reconstruction governor of a doomed planet to war-mongering ex-chancellor-puppetmaster pulling the strings of the Republic from the shadows. I was a fan at first, over time, not so much.

If you enjoyed TSL in particular I would recommend the Jedi Consular Storyline as well. Similar feel, more word-y than action-y and very rewarding in the later Acts.

If they want to go for an interesting Outlander, I'd say they'd make it Darth Occlus (not Nox). A "Grey" Sith following the beat of their own drum. Why are they leading the Rebels? To destroy Zakuul? Or take it over?

Right?! It's been SO looooong. I wonder if the news ones tie in to KOTFE?

He's also one of the few (pretty much only the Wrath and Nox) Sith left that could hope to successfully challenge Acina. Zakuul devastated the Sith Order.

This is the vibe I was getting ever since my Sorc swore fealty to Valkorion. Kinda funny how my character is basically using the "Rebel Alliance" to take over the Eternal Empire.

So, with the rise of Empress Acina during the events of KOTFE, does anyone else see Darth Jadus (who is merely missing-not dead-in every possible outcome of the Agent story) or the Sith Inquisitor making a power play at some point? Also love the mention Lana makes to the Agent about how Acina prefers technological intelligence gathering-makes sense given that Acina was the head of the Sphere of Technology.

1.) Bothan 2.) Zeltron 3.) Falleen

Which of the 8 potential Outlanders has the best set of skills (storywise) to stop the Eternal Empire? In my humble opinion: The Barsen'thor Building an alliance of disparate groups and individuals? Done that already, no reason they can't do it again. Epic Force Mojo to go toe-to-toe with Arcann and Valkorion? Check. I have a hard time seeing the Smuggler or Bounty Hunter having a genuine shot. Cipher 9 and Havoc CO? eeeehhhh, maybe. The other force-using classes are the most likely candidates besides the Barsen'thor in my opinion. Likely Darth Nox since s/he at least has something of a power base to call on (though how much is left?) much like the Barsen'thor has the (remnants of?) the Rift Alliance to call on. Just my thoughts on the matter. Discuss!

It's July 2015 and I'm getting this bug, WTH?

I'm playing through the Inquisitor storyline again, this time as an assassin. I'm playing as 'me' instead of "mwhahaHAAA lightning for eveyone!!!" There were also a couple things I regretted on my Sorcerer that I mean to correct (helping Zash take over Khem being the most memorable, I really should have just let them fight it out). Darth Occlus the Outlander's backstory is now being written

All: Lana Beniko, Nico Okarr, Koth Vortena, HK-55, Treek, HK-51, Blizz Barsen'thor: Nadia Grell, Qyzen Fess, Yuun, Guss Tuno, Ashara Zavros, Vector Hyllus Darth Occlus: Khem Val, Ashara Zavros, Xalek, Talos Drellik, Eckard Lokin, Raina Temple, Lt. Pierce The Former Cipher 9: Kaliyo Djannis, Mako, Gault Rennow, Tanno Vik

Oh, oops. Is that the Neutral side one? I think Imperius is Light

As for losing some companions: will you really be sad to see Skadge go? I won't. It's most likely the least popular companions that are getting the axe. As to those saying we'll only get one outlander story: Edit* - Somebody mentioned this already I see, but it is good to mention again "YOUR PERSONAL SAGA Play one of eight class stories enhanced to offer a deeper, more accessible experience purely focused on immersing you in a personal Star Wars story."

Part of the forums since before release, played since day 1.

I'm currently hemming and hawing between the former Cipher 9, Barsen'thor, and Darth Nox/Imperius/Occulus Any one of these would make for an interesting Outlander in my opinion. Cipher 9: A ghost now forced into the limelight as a savior Barsen'thor and Darth: Both members of their respective councils and in positions of leadership of the now nearly obliterated Republic and Empire-they are forced into fighting just to survive.

This, so much this

Still working out the gritty details but the basic gist will be two separate branches (for the two factions) of an Alderaanian (maybe Corellian) Noble House. One branch was exiled for working with the Empire, the other continued to support the Republic. All my character may not be "in" the House so to speak but affiliated in some way (business partner, servant family, etc.) Glory to House Krades of Alderaan-or-Corellia (possibly another planet? I don't know)

You mean I can level just by doing my class story?!?! Squeeeeee! All that other stuff looks neat too.

This sound interesting, I think I'll come. My Aztec-looking mask is crying out to be worn.
