JUST ROLL MARAUDER LOL 😂😂😂😂
I only just managed to listen to the podcast but I'm glad you did make the video with Ranger, it'd be awesome to see more videos of you two together 😊
Sith Warrior as the best storyline in swtor????😂😂😂😂😂😂 great joke - wait what you were actually serious about that? *here the real ranking - worst to best*
*8. Jedi Consualer* : Boring story, forgettable companions, annoying voices and just forgettable. Played 3-4 times still can't remember what happens or just don't care.
*7. Smuggler* : Good oneliners a few good compainons, but overall forgettable story, and the voice acting is just meh
*6. Sith Warrior* : Some cool companions and some good voice acting, but overall not really exciting story, chapter 1 is sooo boring.
*5. Jedi Knight* : One of the best companions (Kira), Good voice acting (especially female), chapter 2 is just one dead run with pointless story.
*4 Sith Inqus* : Interesting story, some good dialouge, voice acting is meh, some good companions, the story is strong in all chapters which makes it better than Jedi Knight.
*3 Trooper* : Best female voice acting (Jennifer Hale), some fun fight, some awesome companions, and a great story overall, only downside some fights are just too easy.
*2 Bounty Hunter* : 100% the best and most awesome companion in the game (Meko), Amazing story where you actually have an impact in what happens and how it turns out. Love it
*1 Imp Agent* : What can i say, best story in a Star Wars game since KOTOR. Awesome and fun companions, great voice acting (doing different accents), Amazing amazing amazing.
There's the correct list. All of these i have played 3-4 times (and some more) and this ranking never changes.
@@Generalbas1972I think you fail to understand the concept of opinions... I've also played through all of the surprises more than once and I wouldn't agree with your ranking.... It's your opinion and that's fine, but don't be a dick about it
I loved the Sith Inquistor storyline and Khem Val was such a great companion. Who wouldn't want to have a giant dark side monster as your companion that threatenes to eat people and says he will defeat you one day.
And uses to actually heal, by a pretty noticeable amount, from killing enemies, as if he was eating them.
The amount of branching choices that was around dealing with Darth Jaddus made the Imperial Agent my number 1 story
Just by having branching choices alone doesn't make the story a good story, because in the end, you still do the same quests with the same results. Sure, you become Hand of Jadus and get an extra mission on Hoth, but that's really the difference. Compare to SW story, where your choices actually matter in the long run, since you get a completely different companion who has different voice lines, attitude, storyline, even appearance customization.
Sith inquisitor is the best storyline IMO. It was the first time that I felt that I was a sith but not overpowered.
SPOILER : you start as nothing, you progress, you get a master, you fight for him, he betrays you (who could have seen that coming?), you get a new rival, you find a way to oppose him through ghosts of the force and even with that it's hard ! Such good memories !
All that along with the fantasy of the class.
Searching, decoding the force mysteries of the galaxy.
Unleashing the power of ancient force techniques.
Legacy of the sith in your veins and reclaiming your birthright.
Mastermind, manipulator, diplomat, assassin and cult leader.
Similar to the consular you are a book nerd that talks trash and can back it up by serving you a knuckle sandwich with a side of [shock].
SI is the only class along with BH I have played all the way through thrice and so far the *only* class I have completed all the storylines (all the way through to current) with.
Also Sith Inquisitor is probably the only class that fits perfectly with anything that has to do with the KotfE storylines. Two (Three is you count Valkorion's daughter) incredibly powerful and knowledgeable, on the force, individuals duking it out all over the galaxy.
Sith Inquisitor is given everything on a silver platter. Zash helps you early on, your ancestor spirit helps you, Khem is bound to help you, your cult helps you, Zash's former apprentices help you, random moffs appear and help you, even the Rakata Mother and the Voss ritual is there to help you. There is no build-up for any of these, thus they don't feel deserved. They just appear because the character needs to reach council level.
@@bindair_dundat But you beat a council member with your own power , everything else is destiny , it was her destiny to rise from slave pits to the dark council and currently she deserves to be the empress since she is possibly the strongest sith now.
I completely agree
@@bindair_dundat the Warrior is the one that’s literally given everything
Im sorry WHAT- you put the Trooper above the imperial agent?? Just....no!
Does the Imperial agent get a Walking tank voiced by Tom Kane?
Why? Because Commander Shepard is Fem Trooper. 😅
3ver heard of opinion?
I mean it’s an imperial agent like who ever loaded the game up and went oh I want to be a imperial agent
Cry about it.Then get over it.
Imperial Agent was so good. I think the James Bond tropes really were a blessing rather than a hinderance for that story. I also really liked that there was an option to play the story as if you were just another cog in the Imperial wheel. You could really just lean into the idea that you were raised in the Empire and you're loyal to a fault. But you arent necessarily good OR evil, you're just doing your job and protecting your people.
I just hated Kaliyo. It really required a lot of self discipline to wait until Alderaan to get a better companion.
There is NO WAY you ranked the Trooper that high. Trooper was the very first class I tried and it was the last class I finished 6 years later, their class story was THAT boring.
I agree. Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and even Jedi Knight should have been higher than trooper in my opinion
Act 1 was decent with hunting traitors but was never carried over to Act 2 and 3, it basically fell off after Act 1. Alot of potential, but nothing came of it.
Trooper and Consular, two of the worst stories hands down.
Sith Inquisitor should definitely be higher up imo. You feel the most powerful out of any class in the game by the end of Chapter 3. Plus it also helps that the female Inqui has one the most wicked, sadistic, and hottest voices I have ever heard.
Right? It's my #1 choice (but honestly I don't play Jedi/good guys at all, and I've only done Sith Marauder and Sorcerer so far... but *shrug* I stand by my choice
Pfff ,come on Bounty hunter is able to counter sith abilities ,Yes Sith and Jedi are the Strongest in melee but at range ? The Bounty Hunter just wipe them out
I found Light Side Sith Warrior to be interesting. DS choices were just pure kill kill kill, LS choices were manipulation, schemes etc. much more interesting.
Also the ending is just 👌
Horak Mul saying "Freedom" as he goes into the sky is just too great
There is no way the trooper story even comes close to the agent one.
You're right trooper is better
I find myself disagreeing very strongly with that ranking.
Imperial Agent is so good I replayed it fully over twenty times. This is the ONLY story for which choices truly do matter. Your ending is affected by choices you make as early as Act 1.
For an RPG, that seems mandatory.
Every. Single. Other class just fails on that, delivering only cosmetic differences between light and dark for the most part - often decided in the final stretch of the game.
Trooper at rank 3 is just criminal. It should be at or below Consular - Consular was boring as fuck but at least the very late story got a little more interesting. Trooper is boredom from start to finish, only saved by Femshep.
To me the proper ranking is this.
S-Tier: Agent
A-Tier: Warrior, Inquisitor, Knight
B Tier: Bounty Hunter, Smuggler
F Tier: Consular, Trooper
Note that while I enjoy rerolling, I never manage to get far with either Consular or Trooper.
Respectable opinion, but i'd put Warrior on S tier too since the story is amazing and rather meaningful
@@mikel9138 The Warrior's playstyle is what makes it A-Tier at best for me. It's missing something.
Great list. Would move trooper up one and smuggler down one but otherwise gaoted ranking mister Tywin. Lets be real, dealing with characters like the consular is what made Anakin leave the jedi order and go full child butcher.
@@mikel9138 I'll grant you that while it is a mirror to the Jedi Knight story - in that it is expected and you are an actual Sith (and not a slave forced to become one), it was completely new for us to experience in the Star Wars Universe.
We played the hero, many times. We played the hero *falling* many times as well.
But never did we really start Dark. Sith Warrior is an absolute novelty on that. So yes, an argument could be made to rank it a little higher.
I remember when I started playing the game, I wanted to play Light Side Consular.
It was in 2016. I had just finished both Kotors.
I managed to play Consular up to level ... 20? Reached Coruscant, that I remember. I was hunting the Noetikons... and then I realised I was bored out of my ass being a good guy consular.
So I rerolled Inquisitor, and I never looked back. I fell in love with the Imperial side so badly, I waited for the game to offer the option to actually betray your faction to start playing republic characters.
And indeed. Every single Pub I have, is a saboteur XD.
Spot on. Agreed 100%
I feel like Bounty Hunter's story is written so well. Dialogue is great, story missions are interesting and characters all feel genuinely alive and the world feels lived in. Plus, the dynamics between each crew member are amazing to watch. It feels like they actually exist and make their own choices. Mako and Torian's interactions with each other and you and also how they develop overtime make them some of my favourite companions out of any storyline.
The whole crew just feels like one big found family that actually coexist in the same space and I love it.
Blizz is my boy
I think BH story is not the most epic or intricate by far, but the BH has some hilarious dialogues and great companions, you can really have a fun time
One big family shadowed by the glaring Tumor that is Skadge.
@@Loxias1989it's the same story with the bounty hunter and apparently people don't like him in this comment section like wtf
The Sith Inquisitor Storyline is the absolute best in my opinion! I actually prefer playing as a Jedi Knight, but the Inquisitor's story is so replayable and engaging. You start as a slave, facing all odds, and eventually become a Dark Councilor, overseeing a whole Sphere of Influence in the Sith Empire. It's the only story I've played multiple times and even watched all the cutscenes. I don't get why people hype up the Agent Story so much. I've only played it once, and I've been playing this game for a long time. The Sith Warrior comes close as a great story too. So, my top three stories are Inquisitor, Warrior, and Knight. Bioware really missed the mark with the Consular story; it's just too dull.
A big problem with the Trooper story imo, is that you get way too many opportunities to disobey direct orders without any real consequences.
"How dare you disobey my order! Anyway," ect ect. I know that is just the way the game is structured, but it always took me out of the experience. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the Trooper story is the only one that feels well and truly immersion breaking.
Haven't played in years. But I do remember beating all of them. Sith Warrior was my personal favorite. I think Counselor story was most boring. But like I said, it's been a while.
I would say Sith Warrior first, Imp Agent second for me. I just can't get over Jadus. For me Jadus>Baras and it is a crime Jadus was not utilized more.
agreed !
Jadus truly was one of the great siths of his era, shame he had to end like that
It's been how many years and Lana is still blueballing us about Jadus' return
I wouldn't be surprised if the threat Malgus is alluding too is Jadus leading the True^2 Sith
Didn't even mention the light side option for Sith Warrior. THAT is the best class story in the game hands down.
I may not be the biggest SWTOR fan, but hell, I'll never forget, nor lose appreciation for the ballsy ambition and incredible touches of world-building details SWTOR went for and had. It was truly something else and I'll always remember the goosebumps I had all the way back in 2011 right before launch.
I have not played this in years and only completed the Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter one. You guys make me want to reinstall the game to atleast try out and complete the other class Story line.
I always said that the Jedi Knight story feels the most like KOTOR 3. Saying that it’s my second favourite, first was the Inquisitor!
Inquisitor all the WAY!
Same. Imo Knight also has the most interesting companions on the whole. Not the individually most interesting, but none of them beyond Rusk are forgettable, and a 4/5 is really solid here.
I played a Bounty Hunter all the way through the first expansion and loved every moment of it! life got busy and haven't been able to check it out in quite a while but want to get back into it and from what i've experienced in the past, your list is fairly accurate. Looking forward to starting the Sith Warrior playthrough soon!! thanks for the content, keep up the great work!! Also, Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Yo the inquisitor is my jam starting out as a literal slave only to become one of the most powerful sith in the empire it doesn't getvany better for me
Exactly the story progression from sith to dark council member is one of the best arcs in the entirety of Star Wars. Definitely number one class story.
Better yet, playing as a sith inquisitor main through the eternal empire storyline. From a meager slave to Emperor
Great tag team video. I haven't played the game, but all the reasoning sounded pretty solid.
From personal experience playing them all. The level of fun I had with each story were as follows:
1: Smuggler (Going darkside smuggler just is so fun and makes you a pirate king by the end)
2: Sith Warrior (A true classic)
3: Jedi Consular (Oddly enough enjoyed it despite its rather boring premise on paper)
4: Sith Inquisitor (Awesome set up and rise to power)
5: Imperial Agent (Enjoyed it and can see why it gets the hype it does but not my personal favorite)
6: Jedi Knight (By the book paint by numbers. Still had fun for the all the core lore elements)
7: Trooper (Can't remember anything from this besides the opening)
8: Bounty Hunter (Was the last class I played all the way through the story of, it hits all the elements you would want from it but just feels so cliche at the same time that it bored me to death)
I like that with bh you can at least at the end go "nah screw you dark lord, time to throw hands"
The first time I played BH I hated the story and my character because I went full dark. When I recently replayed it I went neutral and found some of the best lines in the game. Same goes for smuggler and most others... actually the only story that I've found to best be played as full light/dark is full light consular. (Which I hated when I initially went full dark)
Such a good game and it's relieving to see someone rank the stories without agent and inq being 1 and 2
Sith Warrior will always be my favorite, love it.
But objectively, Imperial Agent is the most complex and best written one.
Yeah, it is the treat vader fans always wanted.
I believe each ranking of classes depends on how you play them. I always add a light roleplay to my characters so that they are more consistent in how they answer in conversation and their choices. For example, I play my Sith Warrior as a grey Sith. I'm still a Sith but don't go around murdering and maiming just for the sake of it. I try to stay calm and avoid bloodshed when possible, which makes good fun as you confuse the Jedi you encounter at times. But betray my Sith warrior, and you will be in a world of pain, as I value loyalty highly (which a certain someone in the story learned the hard way).
Are you just Lana Beniko's brother in game or what ?🤣
Just finished the podcast between you too and this, and I can tell you that you 2 work well together and these vids are super entertaining!
What I love about the class stories in SWTOR is that everyone can find something different in them. Some will like the trooper storyline, some will like the Jedi Knight storyline, some will like the Smuggler storyline. In other words, each player can find his favorite storyline here. I love the Smuggler storyline from the Republic Classes and the Sith Inquisitor storyline from the Imperial Classes. Ty for video)
P. S. I've been watching you since WOW, my DK 48 LVL)
IMP AGENT AT NR 4 WTF. Did we play the same game. That shit is goated and im a vanilla jedi knight🤓 player primarily so this really should not be as enjoyable for me as it is but fuck me its good. This story could be its own game.
Ok while I agree that the Warrior feels so fun to play through (it was my first story to complete) I still think the Inquisitor kinda beats it sometimes. I guess it depends on how you like to experience the Sith story perhaps.
For me I'd say Inquisitor and Agent are my top picks. Warrior, Hunter, Knight and Smuggler are all great in their own ways. At the Bottom I would put Consular and Trooper and while they do have their moments as well it's simply not enough for me.
The best part about the origin stories in SWTOR, all of them, is that you can simulate character development/progession through certain events and dialog options.
For example, the way I play my main Jedi Knight is that she's your standard good guy Jedi at first, just a little too eager to engage her enemies in battle. Over time she develops an ego through her accomplishments and victories, so she's become over confident and pretty self-righteous by the time she (spoiler alert) gets captured and possessed by the emporer. Whatever it's Vitiates evil rubbing off and staying with her, or an insatiable thirst for victory over her foes, it's the point in which she goes full dark side; mind controlling people left and right and becoming obsessed with accumulating power to bring down the emporer/destroy the Sith Empire for good.
On the flip side, my main Sith Warrior starts out as short tempered, violent thug, who couldn't care less about who he hurts, so long as he succeeds in his assigned tasks and not get on Barras' bad side. But after being confronted by (again, spoiler alert) his light side reflection on Tatooine, he becomes more easy going and actually starts to think before he acts. Leading him to spare people if there is no point in killing them, even enemies, or actively helping out people in need. He's still unwaveringly loyal to the empire, but begins to see its cracks for what they are. And when Ziost happens, and it turns out everything he was raised to believe was just a means to an end for the emporer to become more powerful, he's pretty much "screw this, I'm out."
There's more of course, but these two have really grown on me. Not just as a role play, but as fully fleshed out OC's.
So I'm gonna go against the grain and be surprised the Smuggler ranked so low. Great companions IMHO, and the most a game has ever made me laugh. Its a great action-comedy genre I feel, and I love that you rise up to basically own your own Tortuga. The privateer storyline of act 2 was also great.... jeez this is making me want to play it a third time. Only class I've beaten twice so far.
***SPOILER*** although I agree it's more on the boring side in chapter one, I love the consular storyline. If you like KOTOR and KOTOR 2, it has a lot of lore details relating to those games, and it's the only story where the very first person you meet is the same one you must face at the end of chapter three. No other story does that.
where is that scene from I don't remember that one? 10:28
Fair on 1 being Sith Warrior but I would choose 2nd as Agent for the story and how you have 3 endings depending on your choices and on if your light side or dark. But for story warrior and knight both feel story wise the best when doing KotFE/ET.
Consular's dark side option at the end of chapter 1 is probably the one dark side option i actually chose not to do despite doing a dark side playthrough, i'd say that is testament to the consular having some powerful moments in its writing.
i was suprised to see consular at the bottom since i enjoyed the story alot more than most of the other classes. althought im mostly imperial sided, id rank consular at rank 3 right behind agent and sithwarrior.
I have only done the consular, inquisitor, and the bounty Hunter stories. commando was my first character when the game first came out, made a new one recently to play through the story
I literally wanted a video like this the other day, nixxiom, one of us is psychic
Pretty fair takes on each story. I like trooper, bounty hunter and sith warrior the most out of all 8 but I like them all.
Aye man I respect the Warrior choice hands done my personal favorite. Ive played all class stories but the imp agent but heard that was the best. But besides that amazing list!
you picked what you thought was the worst to best in your opionion. i would have to rewatch the various stories due to currently having a chrome with poor battery power thats incompatiable with the game instead of having a normal pc to access the it to play thru all storylines. personally i think for my the trooper would be at the bottom of the chain. the rest require rewatch/replay to determine their positions. though some may be timed in some of the positions.
What can I do once I finish chapter 3 of the Sith Inquisitor?
Honestly an interesting and genuinely surprising list, very well done.
Though I know the story really isnt great smuggler is still my favourite class. The fantasy and the character are just right up my alley.
As a Sith Sorcerer main, it's #1 on my list :P Was the most fun I've had so far (even more over the Warrior, although my Sith Marauder was pretty cool too).
I have Inquisitor, Consular, and Smug story to finish. Trooper story was decent but I found the companions to be my favorite so far. Really felt like I was creating my own Squad. Especially when I gave them all personalized cosmetics to match the theme of being a different squad than the usual troopers. Bounty Hunter was amazing. I played as if I got into it for the money and not necessarily the killing for hire. Loved the story especially the Great Hunt. Really felt like a bounty hunter. Imperial Agent was the first story I finished. Went full dark on that one and it was awesome. Sith Warrior was pretty epic as well. Great story. I for sure liked changing a Jedi to the dark side. The expansions feel like they should be played with a Jedi or Sith though. Did the Hutt dlc with the Bounty Hunter but that’s it. I’m trying to change my head canon to that all my characters without the force are still force sensitive and that’s being proven with Heroic Moments. In the heat of the moment, my Bounty Hunter can force choke someone if he needs to but it’s still weird going up against major jedis and winning. I usually keep a force user as my companion to feel justified for winning against these big names.
To be fair, BHs are usually known for killing Force Users. Kortosis (Chad Beskar), vibro knife and blades can go a long way. Also technically Jedi can't deflect slugs and rail shoots go too fast for most Jedi to defend. Technically you still can't take either Satelee nor Malgus (powerful force users) on your own so for me it is not immersion breaking.
Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior are my two favorite class stories, they both have great opportunities for totally evil, or honorable playthroughs.
The Sith warrior has the unique companion can be light side or dark with completly different personalities
İmo khem val is one of best companions in game. İt says his opinions in convertions with other guys and it have his own questline when he explains what he feels what he wants like. İ think its very gud written companion. İt slowly but surely attachs to you like he did with tulak hord
My #1 favorite is Imperial Agent. It's easily one of the most deep and complex storylines.
These guys had to be high when reviewing these campaigns, the imperial spy is the absolute best campaign in this game by a mile and a half it’s not even close. The level of choice and variety. You have the way you can actually play as a double agent and also the way it fits the best into the very very late game and the newer story stuff without any problems due to the foundation of it as well as the way many of the companions come back and how they fit into the story. Not to mention your ship looks amazing. Your class is highly versatile. I put the trooper (and according to the common section so do most people) all the way down at the bottom 4 somewhere. Next, I would say it would probably be the Sith juggernaut then after that, the bounty hunter, then after that the Jedi knight after that, the Sith inquisitors after that the trooper, then the smuggler than the Conselor.
Like let’s be honest aside from the Jedi knight, the light side gets majorly shafted in terms of its story quality
when i saw imperial at 4 i know 1 and 2 are BG and Warior
Lol, I love that the lowest rated storyline is the first one I happened to pick (for both Jedi and Sith), I guess that means things will only get better from here. Still enjoying both regardless
Sith Inquisitor was my very first foray into SWTOR and I might say I am very biased. The Inky is my favorite for the unhinged snark and sass XD also, did I mention you get a cult?
Love the Consular, I don't care what others say. But yes, the darkside options seem...odd, but a few classes have that problem. As for the voice acting, I love them both. To me, they are pure Jedi, emotionally detached, focused on the here and now and if becoming one with the force is their fate, so be it. But make so mistake, I love the other voice actors too. My personal favourite is between the Sith Warrior male and Imperial Agent male, both of them are so good. But they all do a great job though.
“Number one: the Sith warrior.”
You’re god damn right
For me 1 sith inquisitor story
2 jedi knight
3 trooper
4 sith warrior
5 bounty hunter
6 smugler
7 agent
8 jedi sage/ shadow
My personal listing:
1. Imperial Agent: It takes a story that would be great even outside of SW, then makes it fit in the universe. And of the companions, probably Kaliyo is the least interesting - and she's far from boring. And yes, you do get the best ship by far.
2. Sith Warrior: it's so much fun. It's everything you could want from a dark side story & more. I played mine as an absolute monster & wow.
3. Smuggler: Even though you get recruited to the Republic in Act 3, it's still a lot of fun.
4. Jedi Knight: It's the classic SW hero story. Though not the most interesting, it's comfortable & familiar.
5. Republic Trooper: This one is surprisingly fun. I actually took a break from this one, not because of the story, but because of the gameplay. When I finally came back and finished it, I actually enjoyed it, despite it being a soldier story!
6. Sith Inquisitor: While this is one of my favourites gameplay-wise, the story lacks luster. Really the only interesting part is having a huge meat machine follow you about.
7. Bounty Hunter: For being one of the most interesting character archetypes in the franchise, I would've expected more. There's actually little about going after targets, with the core of the story being a simple pissing contest.
8. Jedi Consular: It's just so boring! While I get that the purpose is to explore the lore a bit, it's all just bland. Only Tharan Cedrax makes up for it - he found a way to study the strange and mysterious Out There… in a Star Wars game.
I would return to SWTOR if they would get off their ass and finally do something with Darth Jadus
I recently finished the Jedi Consular story and I don't recall any of these cutscenes. :/
Sorry but i put the anget above both trooper and warrior! Anget plays different if you go full light or Darkside! It's the only class that has a different ending to shadow of Reaven if you where light side and ended on the class story light!
Great video!
I just started playing yesterday and the first thing I chose to do was a Dark Side Jedi Consular Sage. I've been enjoying it, even though it's apparently the worst 😂
Looking forward to even better days then lmao.
bounty hunter and smuggler are my favourites. something about being an outlaw is awesome to me
I really wish SWTOR had 3 factions. Republic side, Empire side and Independent side. Let anyone be the independent side, sort of how they do their spies system in the main class and dlc stories, but with the twist that in later dlc's you go full independence and can go to anywhere in the system.
Imagine SWTOR where the bounty hunter works with and against the empire through a bounty system where if you help out say the empire too much and take jobs from them would make the republic fear you more and hire bounties on your head that act as sort of impromptu dalies. A jail system so that if you lose a battle against bounty hunters you go to jail and either talk your way out, break out or serve a sentence.
That was the original idea, but they couldn't make it work
ok im going to give you both a 100% non bias answer to the question of ' was your choices fair "
= As a long time player ( over 20 maxed characters reaching accross every class ) i can honestly call your choices fair to a point - while i wouldnt change any ranked above 5 the lower ones seemed mismatched in the reasons ( some of the upper negetives had far better reasons then the lower ones ) i would only really change sith inquisitor and jedi councelor to be lower because 1 key fact that grates on the play ( you are basicaly a yoda or palpatine type - both are accomplished lightsaber fighters in the lore and expanded universe - lucas himself said that they are far more gifted in the force but are good enough to hold their own in a saber fight . yet you dont get to use your lightsaber dispite having one and it being a main focus ad aqusition the whole story ) they religated the lighsaber to a wand.
I agree that the sith warrior story line is the best. Played both dark and light side warrior. My favorite chapter was the first.
To be fair to the consular voice acting, it's very true to the jedi code as 3/5 lines of it are about no emotion and inner piece.
Wild to see trooper so high up the list. In my opinion even consular blows it away. The vast majority of people who've played the trooper story have forgotten it all by the end. Agent is by far the best, not only the most well written but also Jadus is probably still the most intriguing villain in the game even all these years later.
Trooper feel alive lol, 75% dialogue like 3 choises and all of them yes sir😂
Trooper story of betrayal just hit different for me when it came to writing in this game, most other "betrayals" are quick, simple and just annoying, but the Trooper storyline just went BALLS DEEP with it and it had me by the balls.
I played Jedi Knight, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, and Trooper story lines. Of the 4 I like the Trooper the best. I liked Mass Effect and Trooper really does feel like playing a Spectre and in the same vein. Trooper also has the best companion with M1-4X Assault Droid. It is true that the Jedi Knight is a fairly standard Star Wars story line but it is safe and you do get that happy ending. Bounty Hunter is probably a little better than Smuggler but honestly didn't really get much into either. I really wished it was better since I played 2 Smugglers to max level.
I like how the Sith inquisitor is about building a power base and taking power while sitting warrior is just kill anything that moves 😂
My personal favourite is the inquisitor and agent, for the worst I would pick soldier...by faaaaaar
I’d say my top 5 are : Jedi knight , Jedi consular (for a certain companion) , sith inquisitor (Ashara is wife) , bounty hunter (vode an mondo’ade) , sith warrior (I am the emperors wrath)
100% loved the imperial agent story. Its my favorite.
Well it’s certainly a list…. but imo it should go something like this:
Worst to best:
smuggler
Trooper
Jedi Consular
Hunter
Top 4
Knight
Warrior
Agent or Inquisitor (depending on if your evil mastermind preference : palpatine or thrawn)
I LOVED BH but what bothered me(very little complaint overall but it bugged me) is they keep saying in dialogue that I am not a Mandalorian but like tons of other players, my character backstory was that I WAS a Mandalorian and I had the armor and everything lol silly complaint.
I like the sith warrior story and sith inquisitor second bc you get to know and learn a lot about the gain for power and the artifacts they’re after lore wise I liked it could of been better but I love that mystery bounty hunter just straight up funny the jedi classes like jedi knight and counsular was too boring couldn’t finish it
I'd rank the classes
1. Sith Inquisitor
2. Bounty Hunter
3. Sith Warrior
4. Imperial Agent
5. Smuggler
6. Jedi Knight
7. Jedi consular
8. Trooper
1. Imperial Agent
2. Sith Warrior
3. Jedi Knight
4. Sith Inquisitor
5. Bounty Hunter
6. Trooper
7. Smuggler
8. Jedi Consular
Yall were pretty spot on
I am going to try the game gain its been years since i have played I wonder if i still have my account lol
i don't really agree with the placement of the Sith Inquisitor, but yeah, i can see why you put it there... i just have much more fun playing the Sith Warrior or even the Jedi Knight storylines
dark side Jaesa be like: "let's make evil Sith babies, and slaughter our enemies, and bath in their blood" 😂
The smuggler campaign to me worked best in the MMO setting honestly. My first initial reaction was similar in that the limitation in place felt restrictive towards the scoundrel character. But when I really thought about the moment to moment experience, it delivered the best experience.
Fun companions, a colorful rogues gallery to face on each plant, witty lines, a twist that genuinely caught me off guard. I have loads of memories of the campaign that makes it stick.
Unlike the IA that honestly kinda forgettable. None of the villains were interesting, nor was the companions a joy to be around. The only things i even recall from it was that i called every single plot twist way in advance...outside the last one that was just...without spoilers...you know, you know, about the last villains just out of no where plot twist that added nothing to the story. Just overall IA is kinda a boring forgettable mess that was only carried by it's concept more than presentation. But that's me
1. Jedi knight
The main story and has great characters and companions, for the most part. Also really great if you play either light or darkside.
2. Sith warrior
So fun. The best stiry to just go full darkside and has a good set of companions, one that you can decide to be lightside or darkside. Plus shocking vette.
3. Sith inquisitor
Exploring the darkside is fun.
4. Smuggler
It's a fun laugh as long as you don't take it to seriously.
5. Bounty hunter
The first and third chapter is some of my favourite story to play, the second part is a big drop though.
6. Agent
There's a lot going on, it's great and has some awesome twists and more decisions than other classes. But it's so long and you have to be in the right mindset to sit through the story sometimes.
7. Consular
Sometimes interesting and sometimes so boring.
8. Trooper
Sooo boring and dull.
is the bounty hunter good for first playtrough
@kav0860 yeah, really any class story is good for first playthrough as you can pick any combat style now. I'd say that classic bounty hunter mercenary is good and simple to play, it has good range and a good rotation of abilities. I personally prefer range and pick mercenary or sniper or their mirrors commando and gunslinger but if you like close up combat operative is good for stealth and powertech is fun for punching and flamethrowers.
Story wise bounty hunter is fairly simple, hunt targets, either honourably or ruthlessly. It's good fun.
@@charlestownsend9280 Damn 5 hours in i've picked the dual pistols one and ... this game is amazing its 6 am in my place and im sleepy af
You’re out of your fucking mind for putting the trooper above the agent. The fact the the agent isn’t in the top 3 and the trooper is, is a complete travesty
To me the Sith inquisitor and Warrior are the best two. The Sith inquisitor was my first character, and really got me into the game. The Warrior was my second, and it is a close second. The Bounty Hunter was so boring, that I had to force myself to finish and rush through the story. The two Jedi stories weren't bad, but a little boring at times. The Smugger is alright, picked up near the end in my opinion. The trooper started strong, then got boring, then picked up again by chapter 3. The Agent while it's a good story, it's one I would highly recommended doing as one of your last stories. It's full of twists and turns and just all over the place.
It took me 10 years to finish all 8 stories and I don't regret it. It was a lot of fun.
I played at launch, and even had the collector's edition, but I quit around level 28 or so despite really liking the Sith Warrior storyline. What single thing made me lose interest in the game? That you couldn't customize and decorate the interior of the ship. It was basically just a few small rooms with nothing interesting going on. I wanted to line the walls with trophy lightsabers from slain jedi, make a little sith temple prayer room for offering sacrifices to the dark side of the Force, and plenty more. Was that kind of functionality ever introduced?
Not with ships, but they did add strongholds that you can decorate quite extensively.
Ranking bounty hunter 3rd and above agent just baffles me. Agent's story is by far the most intricate and has the most variations and meaningful choices and endings (to my knowledge it's the only storyline where by going down a certain path you get extra quest content nobody else gets) - and although I get that some people prefer the Force user power fantasy - the bounty hunter is literally just "wow we got a new guy we have to kill because they are on the kill list!" x9000 until the end of the story with pretty much nothing interesting happening the whole way through. It's barely a story, to be honest. Bounty hunter voice actor is cool but that's about it.
Guys, do u think is swtor worth it to stary playing now for the first time? Or not worth it
Jadus I found to be the best antagonist sith warriors was great aswell it's hard to chose between these 2 however I like the way the imperial agent story has people discussing the troops thanaton and bars want in the background also thanaton is missing in the dark chamber when u fight barus to give some context to which story came 1st love swtor pitty bio where and EA never gave it the push it deserved instead there going with dragon age and ass effect which is a strange choice as both of those started great and seemed to get worse with each expansion and the orignall writes of each are no longer there wierd choices.
when i started playing swtor i went with the sith warrior and that's got me hooked
I just started playing for the first time two days ago. I started my first character as a bounty hunter, I have to say I enjoy how both light and dark side choices make sense in certain situations. I just slightly dislike the "Fallout 4" style of the dialogue wheel. I understand this has been a BioWare thing for the most part from my experience with Mass Effect. It's just disappointing when I choose an option thinking my character will say one thing, but they mean another.
Also, the general chat from my limited experience seems like a lite version of r/Batmanarkham.
Agent, Knight and Warrior are the top 3 IMO and clearly the 3 that bioware put those most effort into.
What the consular is at number 8, i loved it ... man i need to replay all of these again... i would have said top 3 .
personaly my order would be:
Knight, Hunter, Trooper, Warrior, Agent, inquisitor, Concelor, Smuggler
this went from quick my order to ALOT of rambling on in 2 minutes
most of these could probably be traded a spot or two around but jedi knight was definitely my favourite when it came to the story,
-I wont say it did anything extra special but it did a great job at the story I want to play though as a jedi, saving the galaxy from the evil emperor. so while there isn't any extrodairyly unqie there wasn't any part that felt overly boring like some parts of others did tho this list isn't based off the companions Knight is the only class where I actually love all 5 while every other has at least 1 I just don't care about. he said it can feel a bit vanilla but for me I solid bowl of vanilla ice cream can be just as good as Neopolitan
-BH probably influenced by being my favourite class to play but great hunt is my favourite act 1 and great side characters outside of companions. best one liners also
-trooper 2nd fav act 1 with revenge take down of old havoc and cool moments like the final corelia battle
-warrior classic rise to power, betrayal, and revenge SO FUN to paly full darkside especially actually being able to influence jessa making her one of the best companions in the game
-agent fun spy stuff
-inquisitor, these next ones are lower because I have less memory regarding them, been a while, but Zash was cool and finding old ghosts/relics
-concelor I had fun going around curing affected jedi and seeing how they could sabotage the republic but played a bit of the story again wanting to go a dark side concelor but that kinda sucked, it just feels like you're doing it wrong if you're not super light side
smuggler ok besides wanting revenge on the side who stole my ship all I remember is risha had family treasure plot line stuff and the final boss was called void wolf, I just don't remember enough to rank it higher tho probably should be around agent
if judging each classes companions
Knight 5/5
BH 4/5
Trooper 3.5/5
Warrior 3/5
Agent 2.5/5
Inquistor 2/5
Concellor 2/5
Smugglar Guss = 10/5
I'd say
8. Consular
7. Knight
6. Inquisitor
5. Smuggler
4. Warrior
3. Trooper
2. Agent
1. Bounty Hunter
but you made some great points!
For me the most boring was the Trooper QL - it was indeed SO boring I never finished it. But I started several Inquisitors since I loved that treacherous vibe you had amongst the sith. For the non Force Users , definetly Bountyhunter and Sniper were my most beloved stories although the Agent Story Line was full of twists like heck!
yeah, I have replayed the Sith Inquisitor story so many time i cannot count.
I disagree on this list, i think Inquisitor has the best story especially if you go full on dark side, followed by Imp Agent and then Jedi Sentinel for the third. Bounty Hunter would probably be after that for me and then Sith Warrior. The rest are pretty meh. Strange choices for me considering Jedi Sage is my main but there you have it
I totally agree that the Sith Inquisitor Story is the best among all the Star Wars stories. It doesn't really matter if you choose to play as Nox (although I'm not a fan of some of Nox's dark side lines, like "murder and mayhem awaits," which seem really silly), Imperious, or Occlus. I think Occlus is the most realistic choice for the Inquisitor, and you can use the best lines from the story because it doesn't matter if the option is light or dark.
@@truthmediatv1212 Lines like "murder and mayhem await" implies she is insane , she is Darth Nox , being dark side fits her best cus of her personality. She is like a crazed beast.
@@fenroel6148 not when it's the same line for a significant number of DS choices
@@truthmediatv1212 She says those only few times ? Every ds char has a signiture line like that . Its just nox have more mental illness showing lines.
