STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ - Choose Your Side: Imperial Agent vs. Jedi Consular

From the moment we announced the eight classes in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, fans have been pitting them against each other, arguing who would have the advantage in a one-on-one fight. The hallways of BioWare echo this debate, with the writers, combat designers and other developers all chiming in on which class they feel reigns supreme.

In the latest entry of our series "Choose Your Side," members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic team plead their cases for two iconic Star Wars™ classes, highlighting the many skills and abilities that set each class apart. This time around, Senior Writer Alexander Freed and Designer Ken Dilks argue in favor of the stealthy Imperial Agent, while Writer Jo Berry and Designer Jason Attard speak on behalf of the Force-wielding Jedi Consular.

Damn I have never really played a mmo but now I'm really thinking about getting this game...

@scorpination I'm well aware of that, and personally, I find the whole idea of killing off such a vital character to the Kotor mythos is disrespectful and insulting. It would be like making the third Mass Effect game into an MMO where you could kill Shepard. Face it, that would totally suck balls.

And that's just the top of my list of grievances with this game.

@FuryanJedi13 I can tell you as someone that has played it that there is a flashpoint(dungeon) with Revan in it as a final boss so this game is not at all without him.

While I will admit that it looks good, I am still pissed that it is an MMO and not the Kotor 3 with Revan in it. Which is what fans are STILL asking for, and Bioware is STILL ignoring their pleas.

@CaptainSprinkles85 Great game. Hope you got it!

[DARKTURTLE13]

NOTE: dont belive the stuff that talks about murder and it will haunt u. its just a freaking prank.
