And, you used to always get DS points every time you shocked her. But, during beta, Bioware didn't like how the vast majority of players would never remove her collar, and thus never see her "story". If they'd really been on the ball, they'd have given Companions a dual story as well (outside of the superficial one that exists for Kara/Jaesa). A companion story where you mercilessly train your slave into subservience would be something to talk about. Not the safe, formulaic, stories that Bioware gets lavish praise for. As for what class story to play, if you don't have the patience to play them all, here's my ranking of them in order, after having played all to 50 (or, more accurately, to the story's end, as many of these I finished prior to hitting 50): 1) Imperial Agent - Gets fun after the first act. Also, has Darth Zhorrid. Quite possibly the best/hottest Sith character ever. 2) Sith Warrior - Played as light side. I love the female voice actor. It's the voice of a confident and powerful woman, and not the teen pop star that many of the other "women" in the game use. This is the one story that does Light Side really well on the Empire side. Plus, Darth Cartman is so epic. Dark side is fine, but this is one of the few class stories that actually portray the "opposite" side well, which makes doing it as Light side worth it, imo. The rest are all pretty much shit. Some have a few spots of promise: Trooper. Starts off all epic. Becomes incredibly mundane for the second half. Bounty Hunter is just yawn. Saving grace are the number of interesting/humorous NPCs you encounter. Smuggler. Ugh. Unless you like pretentious westerns/gun slinger themes. We're not talking about good westerns (ie: Firefly). But, pretentious western. I honestly am not sure what to compare it to, as pretentious hippiness isn't something I ever associated with space westerns before. Counsular. Barf. You wear a dress, which pretty much characterizes the story as a whole. Jedi Knight. If you're five and want to be the Star Wars equivalent of Captain America. And, if the player stories of Guild Wars 2 were the best thing ever to you. Inquisitor. Wasn't that bad actually. And, depending on your sense of humor, it was actually quite funny. To be clear, if they had made a KOTOR 3 game using any of those class stories as the plot, the game would have been severely panned. They all pale in comparison to the stories of KOTOR and KOTOR 2.

So I decided to take a peek back into the Galaxy far far away and my lvl50 Guardian, looked a the world for about 10 minutes, made a gigantic "WTF?!?!" since I assumed most people blew F2P out of proportion, and promptly left.
Game's still in my HD but... yeah...

And no, I haven't really cared about GW2's personal stories. Music and sound are turned off as I prefer to listen to my own music or - at times - pay attention to the real word environment (e. g. when I'm back home during semester vacations)

I remember playing Guild Wars with specific tracks from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack CD playing over the in-game music. "Anakin vs. Obi-wan" was the usual track playing during anything going on.

The reference to GW 2 had nothing to do with "personal stories" and everything to do with the goody two shoes nature of both it and the Jedi Knight. Even if you pick every dark side option, you're still an awfully good candidate for a hero of justice action figure.
Ultimately, these are opinions. And, 26 is hardly "old". I forgive you for your youth.

Jedi Story is fine even if he's extremely predictable. Jedi Knight suffers on the Dark Side path though just like the Consular. They seemed to be made under the assumption that you will be Light Side if you're those classes with Dark Side as an after thought.
The Agent, Sith Warrior, Trooper, and Bounter Hunter are the real gems when it comes to story. |

People complain about it because the story is nothing as was advertised. You're pretty much someone's little ***** the whole game and you never do the high class manipulating stuff that is expected out of a SI. The Agent and Sith Warrior manipulate better which is just plain sad.

At least Preferred players now actually have a use for Legacy perks.
Though the 3 loot max per week for Flashpoints shouldn't even be a restriction for pefered. They could easily make HM and the Raid stuff Sub only and be done with it. No reason Flashpoints should be targeted, at least not the ones between 10-49. |

The storylines might not be up-to-par by Bioware standards, but they get the job done. It's not what I play for and it's not what I was expecting (I prefer to keep my expectations realistic, unlike some people). The class quests in SWTOR were my reason for playing the game in the first place, and I enjoyed most of them (except for Consular and Knight... they were pretty lame for Jedi stories). Besides, I might point out (because SOMEHOW people manage to forget) GW2 is already F2P without retarded caps on leveling and endgame content. Why would I continue paying monthly fees when I've already completed the class quests for SWTOR? The answer is obvious: I'm not.

Just saying because I left SWTOR before the F2P was even implemented. Now that it's free and leveling will be harder, I don't know if it's worth it to even try to go back, especially since my computer seems to barely be able to run it for whatever reason (probably my aging GTX 570... I really need an upgrade >_<).
