    Class inspirations

    in Combat Styles

    Posted

    I was just curious as to what people's thoughts were regarding the inspirations behind the 8 character classes, in terms of both personality and combat style. I know some devs have specifically stated some, while others are heavily implied and others more ambiguous. Here's my take:

     

    Republic -

    Jedi Knight: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Mace Windu

     

    Jedi Consular: Qui-Gon Jinn/Yoda

     

    Republic Trooper: Commander Cody/Commander Shepard

     

    Smuggler: Han Solo/Malcom Reynolds

     

     

    Empire -

    Sith Warrior: Darth Vader

     

    Sith Inquisitor: Emperor Palpatine/Darth Maul

     

    Imperial Agent: Grand Moff Tarkin/James Bond

     

    Bounty Hunter: Jango and Boba Fett

     

     

    Thoughts?

    Best And Worst Class Story?

    in Combat Styles

    Posted

    So far, I have 4 characters: a level 29 Sith Inquisitor (Assassin), a level 19 Jedi Knight (Guardian), a level 18 Imperial Agent (Sniper) and a level 3 Bounty Hunter I just made earlier today.

     

    I'm loving the the SI storyline so far; great story plus plenty of opportunities to make people who annoy you scream and cower. This is definitely the class for you if you want to feel like a bad-*** dark lord of the sith. Combat with the SI is I think best summed up with the line Dave Grohl says as Satan in the Tenacious D movie - "Taste my lightning, ****-ers!" Khem Val is also awesome, though he tends to die a lot, at least for me.

     

    IA has been surprisingly interesting and fun so far. Sniping is fun, and I love Kaliyo's personality. She actually reminds me of Jack/Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2, only without the angst and half the psycho. Storyline is interesting and really enjoyable if you love spy thrillers, espionage and intrigue (which I do, immensely).

     

    JK has been enjoyable so far (just got to Taris, so still quite a way to go in the story yet). As others have said, playing light-sided makes it a bit cliched, but I barely even notice because it's still a story I love, and I always enjoy feeling like a bad-*** hero, but also the good guy who takes the moral high road. I feel like playing the opposite plenty of times, too, which is why I have my SI:D

     

    BH I've just barely begun, as I said above, so I can't really comment just yet. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, though, and from what the majority of other posters here have said, it's one of the better storylines with one of the best sets of companions, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what's in store:)

     

    Just my two cents.

    Anakin is what happens when the Jedi refuse to acknowledge human nature. You end with someone who can't control his emotions and turns to the dark side to save a loved one. (Who wouldn't?) This is one of the main reasons I couldn't stand being a Knight or Consular.

     

    The Jedi code is so annoying.

     

    Tell Anakin love is okay. Had he felt comfortable telling Yoda about his dreams he could have explained the meaning to Anakin. Instead he internalized them. It isn't about despair and hate leading to the dark side. It's about being void of the tools to manage it properly and still keep your head.

     

    Thus Darth Vader is born.

     

    This. So very, very much this.
