I really like the light and dark side options in this game.. It really sets it apart from other mmo's.. And at first i thought it was fine the way it was.. But now that im a little further in the game, I'm finding that its become VERY punishing.. Its not about "Oh what do i want to do here" Its "Oh i picked dark side so i HAVE to hit the dark side option or I'm punished and points are reduced"
I don't know if this changes in end game.. Perhaps they have so many dark side points thrown around that you can do what you want and make it up later. But its leading to rapidly degrading gameplay for me..
I also might not be understanding the system correctly.. I have 650 light side points and 1100 dark side points(the entire game i have been just hitting the one that i want and not sticking with one) And im neutral with -450 alignment which means i cant get any of the dark side weapons.. And if i dare hit a light side option it goes right back up.
I'm undecided on what i'd like to see.. I was thinking something along the lines of, When you get enough points on one side to go to the next tier you can pick which side you wanna be.. Like if you get the first thousand on dark side AND light side.. You can pick which way you wanna go.. That way during quest if you wanna pick a light side option... it wont matter cause you're already on the dark side tree.. You just wont get an increase in points
Sorry for the long post.. Also feel free for this to be a suggestion thread.. I'm sure plenty of you have better ideas then mine.. On the spot thats what i thought of though
