I would definitely agree on the your gameplay experience Jaden, however, after playing the Sith Warrior so far (level 11) I would have to disagree about the story. I am not going to touch on the Revan spoilers since, well, they are spoilers, but generally my experience with the story has not been great. I find neither the moral choices or the character's generally compelling. My issue with Bioware writing is that they often over rely on (1) twists and (2) "moral" extremes, which may not even fit morally. With the Sith Warrior, you either kill the person in front of you or you don't, that's it. You kick the puppy or give it a loving home. It revolves around action and collecting good guy/bad guy points, which no real questioning or rationalizing what you are doing. I wish there was a Kreia type character lambasting you for making weak choices. I would really love if they had an event or two similar to Kreia criticizing you on Nar Sha'da with the beggar in Kotor 2. That event essentially put yourself, the force, and the universe in perspective. Instead, everything is consumed by this unquestioned all consuming logic of the universe. I am truly pessimistic about Bioware's ability to write anymore after Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 2/3(that leak was...), and especially how they deal with Revan and the event of Kotor 2 in TOR.

Another issue I have is the repetition in the story so far.

Spoiler for Sith Warrior Spoiler:


If all the force users follow the same, unquestioning repetitive story line I honestly feel that story is TOR's weakest aspect. The combat, while perhaps dull, performs its job. The story at the moment just feels like I am watching the Prequel Starwars movies.
