Can you skip certain content?

Like... I really did not enjoy Knights of the Fallen Empire. The story was really good, but the repetitive nature of the grind (like the seemingly endless waves of enemies at points) really drove me nuts the one time I played through it.

 

Is it possible to level a character to the original max in the core game, and then boost to the currently relevant content? Or are boosts only available at the start? And if I did skip, what would happen in terms of the "choices" for story that I didn't make?

 

Thanks.

You can do Iokath and the story that follows without having done Fallen Empire/Eternal Throne.

 

You can skip to Ossus, which serves as a new starting point, completing the chapters (minus the HK-55 bonus chapter), Iokath, and the three flashpoints. In general, your character's decisions will follow the following rules:

 

• Light side for Republic, dark side for Empire
  
• Support original faction on Iokath
  
• Keep your original companions alive
  

 

Two specific exceptions/things not covered by the rules (major spoilers):

 

• Republic characters and Sith Warriors save Vette, others save Torian
  
• Everyone spares Theron Shan
  

 

 

Here's a post from Charles Boyd with more details.
