1 sounds good in theory but not so much in practice. This class gets a nice little story arc while the rest have to sit there and labor through dailies and air grievances on the forums. Also, if you're going to do that, you'd need to commit to it for the entire process otherwise a number of classes are going to be deprived of comparable content. Also, how would class-specific content work at this point, given that, for all intents and purposes, all 8 characters died on Darth Marr's flagship? For 2, are you talking about something like Makeb, where each faction had its own story arc regarding an event, or something else?

More often than not I found myself liking an armor or clothing piece if it wasn't for this antenna, pauldron, spike, cape/flap, neck roll, etc.

And you're probably stuck with a specific companion as well, right?

I do miss the unique abilities they had (especially HK-51)

Bonus points if he responded to posts every couple of days.

Weren't we all supposed to have moved on to the likes of Rass Ordo and Anri? 😅

It'll probably be where our characters retire to, either to wrap the game up, or to get pressed back into adventuring after a time.

One that I can dump excess equipment on.

That explains all those popcorn-length cutscenes that don't involve the PC.

So Sages and Sorcs could both spit lightning and hurl objects?

By this logic, should SWTOR have been canceled the day Disney declared the old canon to no longer be canon?

And every once in a while you can take a break from that grind when they drop something new.

Maybe an exception could be made for the Nathema cameos. That was just atrocious. But even that's still a maybe.

Gotta keep that grind going...

Pretty much everything past Makeb is just one storyline and it's more or less tailored to 1 character class, maybe 2. They were heavily Force-centric (Dread Masters, Revan, Zakuul, Malgus...), too.
