After reading all your thoughts about how the different stories felt for you guys, I decided to roll both a JK and a JC to level 10 as I wasn't able to decide which one I wanted. I felt like these two were closest to what I wanted to play as a light side republic character.
I didn't hate Consular as much as I expected to given how negative the feedback was... although I'll admit some characters and dialogues aren't doing much to drag me in. There's also this thing about not being able to NOT hear Nathan Drake every time the character speaks.
The knight on the other hand seems just like what everybody describe. Typical heroic stuff, very good but not particularly original. I'll still probably go with that however, it's good for what it is.
Thanks again to every one who replied, it was a big help to me. I hope some day I can get enough free time to try them all !
