tbh since almost every Star Wars games has you play a good guy. Sometimes with a non-canon 'dark' side ending it's nice to see the other side of the coin for once. It's mainly why I prefer the Empire, though even in SWG I preferred the Empire over the Rebels. They just seem to have all the cool stuff and like I said it's fun to get a look at how the other side is for once. I do wonder sometimes about certain quests, where the Republic nearly comes off as relentless foes. Like the space mission where you're doing the escort? It just seems weird that the Republic would throw so much resources at it, I can't imagine the Rebels or the Republic during the clone wars doing something similar other than send one Jedi or something after them. Some stuff makes more sense it seems when you play as a Sith on the Empire side, not sure why but the Bounty Hunter feels like it doesn't belong in some of the quests. I suppose it depends on how you play the Bounty Hunter though. Anyway, I don't see either side as evil or good. It seems to me that both sides are so huge and inflated that you have evil and good on both sides. What I do notice is that both sides have different ideals, it's almost like two different political opposites or countries with different cultures. Since a lot of the Imperial citizens seem content with the way life is over in the Empire. So I don't get why you think it's evil. It's sort of like saying communism is evil, it's just a different way of life or political ideal that they follow. You will always have bad apples on both sides, the Sith Empire in SWTOR is way different from the Empire during the GCW era.
