I was thinking of this idea involving Darth Malgus in his glory days.

Now I've been an avid fan of Malgus since that original trailer dropped of him purging the Jedi Temple to the point I was actually hoping that we'd see some of that in the story and gameplay.

 

But however it was a missed opportunity until now. I am a big fan of two new classes being added SIS and Imperial Trooper.

 

What if they could add them in with their own unique stories that precede the pre-existing class stories as a prequel to better understand the lore surrounding the class stories and The Sith and The Jedi's motive.

 

I know this ideal probably sounds stupid but I want to be there first hand truly wrecking The Jedi's silly statues.

it would mean 4 new voice actors, a new starter planets, more voice actors for a complete starter world experience. additional expansion on all storyworlds for additional storylines and that means even more voice actors. a whole team of writers, scripters and the like...

 

i can't see that happening to be honest. i couldn't see it happening even if it were concurrent.

 

 

It would be something to have a few episodes based on the past with you playing as another character from the past, irrespective of current faction choice. You are playing as Darth Malgus during certain other warzones, no conversation choices, but you do get to fight as Malgus and watch things unfolding as they did many years earlier.

 

The first episode was based off just after taking the station above Korriban, Vindican was killed and Malgus is still a Sith Lord until that day when he conquered Korriban and took out the Republic infestation near the old temple grounds with the ancient and disused Academy, but from the otherside. The events show Malgus being given the title as Darth and forsaking his name Veradun for Malgus.

 

The second episode revolves around the the destruction of Republic Military headquarters on Coruscant. With the Jedi defeated and broken, the sacking of Coruscant can't be complete until the Military is taken out. It is later discovered that the Republic moved all their most critical assets to Ord Mantell. Still it is a victory. The events are meant to show how powerful Malgus became during the height of his powers, additionals from a young Shae Visla, Eleena Daru, a young Darth Angral and a few others.

 

Final episode has Malgus murdering imperials on Ilum during his short lived rule as Emperor. He intended to reach Grand Moff Regus and kill him, however a report from Serevin convinces Malgus to head back but he has to fight his way back out, all the way through the heart of republic forces including Master Boudin and Carrowaar. The events here are meant to show that Malgus is losing control and his legend has come to an end in a tragic way and he can see it happening around him.

^This, while I love the class stories SWTOR shot itself in the foot in regards to that since every new class would have to have its own act 3 story which would require a lot of money to do it. So as disappointing it is I wouldn't expect a new class to appear.
