Aurondarklord Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So...I've noticed a pretty big story imbalance between the two factions. Republic class stories are about fighting the empire, Empire class stories...much much less about fighting the republic, at least in terms of their ultimate outcomes. Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular both deal major direct blows to the Emperor by defeating various pieces of his being Smuggler yoinks an entire fleet out from under the empire's nose, and can choose between setting it against everyone or giving it to the republic, either way a blow to the empire Trooper either kills or captures the empire's greatest general, either taking him out of the picture, or trading him back to the empire for the release of thousands of POWs, either way a major victory for the republic against the empire. Then what have we got on the other side? Both Sith classes are about Sith infighting, "kill your master and take his place" kind of stories, the final boss is a rival Sith. Imperial Agent is a combination of empire vs third party villain that's on neither side, and sane imperial intelligence chafing under the rule of its totally bizarro sith overlords. only the bounty hunter feels like he strikes a real blow against the republic at the end of his story, killing a very important jedi and having the option to kill the supreme chancellor. even there though, only the dark side bounty hunter does this, while the light side hunter turns against the sith for another empire vs empire final boss. Sure, there are various points where all of the classes come up against the other faction's forces, but outside the bounty hunter, it's never really the centerpiece of the story for the empire classes, where it is for ALL of the republic classes. I signed up for the empire wanting aggression and war! please give me more opportunities in future story content to undermine democracy, crush freedom, and grind the republic under the Emperor's almighty heel.

GrandMasterOteg Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Doesn't the Sith Warrior spend a good chunk of their story wiping out Republic High Command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cythereal Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Doesn't the Sith Warrior spend a good chunk of their story wiping out Republic High Command? That's the plot of one chapter, and it holds true on only one world. On the other two in the same chapter, one turns out to be an Imperial spy and the other wants both sides to go away and leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the one on Hoth is the guy who is trying to rescue the guy that wants to be left alone not the guy who wants to be left alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
