Dubzinator Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) It seems there is about a 3:1 margin of people choosing to roll Empire over Republic in this game. My question is to all of you Empire folks....why did you choose the dark side? Edited December 30, 2011 by Dubzinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradebot Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Because my first two characters were Republic and I wanted to mix it up a bit. Oh, and Dark Side =/= Empire. My IA is sorta Greyish still, while my Trooper (my main) is now all veiny and orange-eyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyrab Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I rolled a smuggler but my next class will be something Empire... It's simple. Republic are a bunch of do-gooders. Even the neutral smuggler is a softie. The Imps however...much more realistic. Morality is so last century... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raximillian Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have a light side IA. I love the imperial agent, so I went empire. I know the smuggler is basically the same thing, but I'm not attracted to their story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalabakk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Wasn't there already a thread about this yesterday or the day before? I created a Bounty Hunter because I wanted to see the story and how the Sith side of the game looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiborF Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Last few games the guild I'm in has been on the "good guys"/light side so opted for a change. Many/most of us in the guild will have one or more Republic characters to experience the story on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belialle Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I rolled Empire for the Agent. I got to play a little of it in the beta and I liked it best of all the things I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaltom Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have one Dark side blemish on my trooper's conscience: I opted to kill that snot nosed hipster journalist on my origin world. Otherwise I am Republic light side all the way. Call me vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urgas Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It seems there is about a 3:1 margin of people choosing to roll Empire of Republic in this game. My question is to all of you Empire folks....why did you choose the dark side? Because the Jedi Code conflicts with my being. Proper Code seen below. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Gureiwolf Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Mostly because they follow a code of ethics that's so different from my own. I think it makes the experience more interesting. Oh, and I like electrocuting people. For some reason. I've always been cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfelsung Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If I were force-sensitive IRL, I'd be Sith. That's why. What's the point of having powerful telekinesis if I can't choke people to death with a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanJJ Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 the empire is cleaner, sharper, more precise in their executions; of decisions and people. although i decided last night while falling asleep, that my Assassin is going light side.

PibbyPib Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I rolled all the different professions one day, and the story that really hooked me right away was the Agent. Best storyline in the game, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyceratops Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I've always related to the Sith - their power through passion, although it can end up being evil, really shows the flaws (and positives) in humanity. In my opinion, the Jedi's serenity and denying emotions like fear and anger is dehumanizing oneself and, ultimately, just as bad as the 'evil' Empire. And I loved it in Episode VI where Palpatine says (in my opinion, in disgust, "Take back your... jedi weapon." Because he doesn't need it, because he knows that true power comes from the Force. (Yeah, I was either going to go with Palpatine-esque or Yoda-esque, IE Inquisitor or Consular, and I picked Inquisitor.). (Also, in the Empire, the higher-ups are all evil but you get a lot of good people lower down. In the Republic, the higher-ups are all good but you get a lot of evil people lower down. It's very interesting.). Edit: Oh, and my character has his reactions based on the first Doctor from the 2005 reboot - sarcasm and righteous anger. He's mostly lightside, but he's still climbing up from neutral because so many people deserved execution so far. T_T (Not even Light I yet, still neutral. xD) Edited December 30, 2011 by Flyceratops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IA is sorta Greyish still, while my Trooper (my main) is now all veiny and orange-eyed. This has to be one of the more stupid implementations done by BW. The veiny grey skin and orange eyes were a sign of the taint of the dark side. As the dark side is a part of the Force...It makes no sense a non-force user could be physically altered by the force. Jabba the Hutt wasnt veiny, grey and orange eyed. Nor was a number of other very evil individuals that were not force-sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is to all of you Empire folks....why did you choose the dark side? Here is your error: "why did you choose the dark side" . You view the empire as evil, but the empire is the true form of freedom. I view the jedi order as a dictatorship upon the galaxy, they control the republic, all they want is power. Sith should rule too, then the republic will have peace. Remember: Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy, and we shall have peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
