Another one would be: play the trooper class story with dark side decisions. It's hilarious. You get to be a complete jerk to everyone. You are rude and insubordinate to General Garza; you assassinate senators when they threaten to investigate your squad; you kill enemies instead of taking them prisoner; you steal weapons, etc. Plus it has some nice gems of dialog such as "swallow a grenade and do us all a favor" and "I'm not just a thug in a uniform - I'm a heavily armed thug in a uniform".
@@feyefall4855 I know this was 5months ago but my first time playing was was last month and I chose trooper for my first playthrough, I thought I would have a tough time with also being mean especially because I've never done it in any other game like this but as the leader of Havoc I instantly felt the power and started getting big and bad with anyone that would tell me no.
I would also submit the Sith Warrior storyline as a lightsider. it is amazing how compelling a character a Sith Lord can be when they are simply not a dick. Also, the added tension of you and your apprentice being secretly not evil is awesome.
I would argue that the Sith Inquisitor storyline is the best. You start from nothing and rise to the echelons of power. You really feel that sense of progression and the reward is satisfying.
In my opinion the Sith Warrior story is the best, even when it comes to the choices, because it not only changes the story in some ways, but it also influences one companion so much, that you actually decide if she stays the good person that she is or if she turns into a blood-thirsty psychopath, making her so unique and a stand out companion. Plus Vette is probably the best companion in the game, especially when you romance her, outranking Kira by a lot. And the ending is just soooo satisfying, especially when you choose the dark side option. I felt kind of betrayed that the final choice of the Jiedi Knight regarding the last boss in the jedi Knight story line was completely irrelevant to the actual ending. In every other class story you actually get the choice to show mercy or to kill your target for good, leaving space for a lot of speculation. And the Sith Warrior story also makes sense for KOTFE because you were his favorite sith, you impressed him and he actually states this a couple of times in the original class story. PS: This does not mean that I didn't like your video, I enjoyed it quit a lot, I simply wanted to state my opinion on the matter. :)
I was going to say that, I've only played Sith warrior on KOTFE so far, and the dialogues seem soo fitting to the "Emperor's Wrath". I do not see for example, the Trooper, or the Smuggler as the chosen one by the imortal emperor...
The inquisitor story fits very well with the latest expansions I think, right in the beginning at level one you are constantly told you were a slave so the entire story is your rise to power from the lowest possible area in the empire to becoming the strongest in the galaxy with the help of others of course.
I love just going to tython finding new people grouping up with them teaching them about stuff and then Usually at the end will give them like 200,000 credits to start off with. I just like being able to make someones day, and that's one of the easiest ways I've found to do it.
I like that as well, and don't forget about just cruising the planet and giving new players your Legendary buffs, especially when you'll be there a while starting a new character.
Tanking Eternity Vault with my guild using my Sith Assassin were some of the most fun and memorable moments I had with this game. Every class story is good if you pay attention to the dialogue and take the time to enjoy it.
Light side sith inquisitor had a situation when a random jedi accused me of trying to corrupt and influence some kids and he went: "I'll expose your dark side for all to see... umm... why aren't you evil?"
I'd add to the Imperial Agent that you should play it last. It is really good if you play it first, but it references so many other class stories that you should really play it last to understand all of it.
O my God!!! I still remember when I first was doing HK 51 quest, it took me 12 hours. I grinded for whole day, I remember the feel after I got him. Started when it was daylight, finished when it was a deep night, the memories! ;(
If we talk about a swtor player should do at least once ill say doing a pvp match. not all ppl like it but it really is a must to try it at least once to work with ur teamates to win the opossing team
I. Hate. This "Special Snowflake Stat" called 'Mastery' It ruins the diversity of the player Classes and particular bonuses that were offered by them through the diverse Primary Stats.
For best dialog, go with Bounty Hunter. Seriously, I roll on the floor so much when hearing that character. "What are you doing with that eel tank?" "I accidentally wandered in here."
I think it's most fun to play your story (regardless of class) by playing opposites. Playing as a dark jedi or light sith create the coolest moments. My friends and I love it. or at least we did until I stopped playing SWTOR
That's a great point! I did enjoy playing a light side sith warrior, (he and Vette hit it off great). Sometimes it's hilarious to play a dark Jedi who just never, ever gets kicked out of the order despite wanton slaughter. Fun times!
I wish they had implemented controller support. It would make platforming actually doable for those of us with physical difficulties that cannot efficiently, accurately and consistently perform the necessary abilities required when using a keyboard and a mouse.
I would add. Do the Sith Warrior story line. It is the story line that gives you the classic Darth Vader type feel. Though I was disappointed latter on when the expansions seemed to forget your relationship with the emperor as a sith warrior.
First time through, I played a JK, and the storyline was amazing. I didn't realize, though, that I was allowed to romance anyone... I was trying to be a "good" Jedi. Years later, I found out that Theron Shan was Grandmaster Satele's son, and I logged out and made a new JK, so I could romance Kira. =) If it's ok for the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, it's OK for me!
@@kapitan19969838 It is, actually. The Consular storyline brings up that while marriage is usually not allowed, the Council might make exceptions in certain cases. For instance, if they have faith that a marriage will not lead to one or both members of the relationship falling to the Dark Side, they might allow it. I believe it's specifically brought up if the Consular romances Nadia, but I'm not 100% certain as I've been away from the game for a long time and I'm only just getting back into it.
@@gamester512 It ISN'T. Hence the rule, exceptions don't make the rule non-existent or invalid. They are just that: exceptions. And even so, I would argue that even in the instance of an exception it still is not okay.
Would also add: +Sith Warrior Story +The Maelstrom Prison/The Foundry Flashpoints +The Battle of Ilum/False Emperor flashpoints +The Priority Targets World Boss Hunt
I can see that. The Revan Flashpoints (from both sides) are all noteworthy for sure, and a good questline tying them together. Defintely loved FE for the logest time. I was never much for the World Boss hunts, though. Great list though, Matei!!!
I agree with all of this :) I definitely think the dread master saga should have been added in addition as well. Also, one thing that I've always liked about this game was its world pvp. Now it's nonexistent, but when it was here, it was one of my favorite things to do.
The Operation "Eternity Vault" is one of my favorites, despite it being so easy even on the hardest mode that you could run it blindfolded, but the whole lore about the Rakata is interesting, and as far as it's known, they were the dominating species thousands of years ago, the true Dark side Force users long before Jedi and Sith ever existed. The Shroud, as well as The Dread Seed (I think it was called) quest lines were a lot of fun, combined with datacron hunting, took you to some spectacular places you never been before. As for the class stories, Sith Warrior is one of the best also, it is the most central class in the game apart from Jedi Knight, though one way or another the stories are connected, each class telling the story from their perspective, combined painting the big picture. All stories are great though!
Dread Fortress and Dread Palace are definitely two of the finest crafted sets of raids in the game. The boss fights are awesome! I would have considered them for this list, but they lack the set pieces that make Soa and Revan so much fun. Great fights though... they certainly have a special place in my raiding history!
One thing you should do at least once in Eternity Vault: get into that one excape pod that blows up on landing, killing you before you start combat. Happened to me three times now since go-live.
First Eternity Vault experience: Half an hour of trash. Die seconds after 2nd boss (lava). Be a moron and "return to Medbay" (which was Makeb for me). Then port back and run ALL the way inside from the beginning. Then get lost in the Pylon area due to not being there to see the route. Not getting the achievement for the Council as it is a "common" bug. Then fall at the final boss and watch the dirt for 10 minutes. Second Eternity Vault experience: It was awesome. Worth it. :)
My top is what you need to do. 1. Full light side story on the emp side complete. And full dark side on the rep side. 2. Inquisitor story line best for me. You got to see the ending. Best in game for me. 3. Ziost... the best of the best story line for me. Everything after that goes in the different way. Totally wrong atmosphere in the next additions.
I remember trying to get the Datacron on Makeb. Man did we fail a lot. We were 10 people and no one knew how to do it. But I would do it all over again.
My favorite parts of the game is just crafting color dyes and selling them, after so much game play the fighting becomes kinda automatic pilot like... I'm like a SWTOR zombie sometimes, crafting dyes gives me a sense of accomplishment. I do agree the imperial agent does have the best ship and storyline though. I didn't try an agent until I did most of the others and I never regretted it. Just wish they had force powers and a lightsaber.. :)
I think The Esseles-flashpoint is the most memorable single experience from the game I ever had. I was in the early access and managed to get in a few days earlier. This was my first MMO and it took a bit of time to get used to the gamestyle but on the second day I finished Tython, got my lightsaber for my knight and became Jedi Sentinel on the fleet. Then I was heading to Coruscant but the questgiver npc asked me to travel on that ship and what an adventure it grew to be! My fem sentinel, my droid companion and a smuggler with his comp against the Imperial invaders!
I have to say, my favorite story is the inquisitor because of the rise of absolute power in the sith, each chapter taking out an even more powerful enemy to grow your own power. Plus the companions are cool and pretty good
as a old sub and new scrub I love the Warrior story line as you rise to power in the sith ranks and your story in the KOTFE is about the continuation of you and Marr hunting down the emperor, the emperor people have served for years and has been silent, and ending him. To me it was like cleaning house kind of story but i cant wait to get them all to 50 ! a little late to the party but oh well haha .
Great list. As a counterpart to the Jedi knight, the sith warrior is also really heavily tied to the events in the last couple of expansions and almost gives the "other side" of that same story. In fact I loved all of the stories
I played through all of the story lines in vanilla and avoided the agent because I didn't think it would be very interesting. Man did I ever get it wrong. The Imperial Agent was by far the most dynamic of all the story lines. It had depth and layers beyond any two of the other story lines put together. It was absolutely my favorite, and like the host of this video I'd HIGHLY recommend it to any who haven't played through.
Start with a Sith Inquisitor as your first character. Do a Jedi Consular next (and you can even make him a Sith, if you ran a Pureblood Sith for your Inq and thus unlocked the species for all classes), and link him in your Legacy tree to your Inq as child or sibling (people who have played the two should understand why). It really leads to a great opportunity for head-canon, complete with ancient lineages, hereditary special force powers, and an amazing justification for creating your own sub-faction dedicated to the Third Option between the Jedi and Sith religions.
I think the fight revan pick was spot on, should have been higher, I get chills every time I hear him speak of his past and how his exploits make him the one who must end the emperor. And his last words and ode to his best friend Malak. I almost cry everytime...
I played the Imperial Agent (Sniper) as my 1 character, though I wanted a Jedi Shadow Tank, and she is still the best of them all - Badassery beyond good and evil ! She is a Chiss, uncompromisingly efficient at getting rid of Jedi and unruly Sith alike, can get 2 assassin droids as companions, the best Ship in the Empire, even in PVP she handles situations with elegancy and utmost proficiency. And all to bring order in the chaos of the Empire.
My very first character was a Jedi Shadow tank. One of my fondest memories of the entire game and the time I played was in the first few days of launch, taking my green double-bladed saber and joining a PUG group for the World Boss on Coruscant. That character is still one of my favorites, despite the class story being dry as toast. The IA story is wonderful, as you know... and continues to be so even if you choose to be a light side softee. I'm really glad you had a fun time with it... that storyline (and the other original 1-50 stories) made the game what it is. I miss the old days of it, but I'm happy to steer players towards what was really good about the game!
@@ZakEmber Efficiency is equated to being evil, though I finished it through the last lightside choice there is to make, because I had enough of the whole overpompous Imperial Command and the whole overconfident Sith Stick. )))
For some reason, I have a tendency to delete characters at random as well as make them in tandem with each other so that they are completely opposite each other in all ways. Weapons, armor, personality, everything. All opposites. I want to do a duel-wield bounty hunter and a assault cannon trooper, for instance.
One of the most exhilarating pieces of content for me was when I decided to run 'The False Emperor' /solo/ (No companion, nothing) with my Sith Juggernaut. Her facing down Malgus one on one was an amazing experience, and one aspect of this game I will never forget.
That is an AWESOME one to run solo! The debate will always rage whether it was a good move or not to make the flashpoints group-optional, but it did open up moments like this... being able to face down the last boss of massive story arc in one-on-one combat! Fantastic!
Mister Boring this is gonna sound weird, but during these three years I lost weight, transitioned to a girl and got my name changed to Kira. I also went from being a borderline incel to having not one but two girlfriends. Now that I think about it, it’s pretty wild
Good stuff Zak, came here from SWTOR central and after watching some of your vids really gotta say that your are a solid youtuber. Keep up the great videos
I played all 8 classes to 50 and got all my companions to 10k (including HK!). I 1000000% agree with you about IA being the best story. Like, there's never been a doubt in my mind since I played it. My Chiss Sniper was a goddamned hero, but no one would ever know. I played it Light Side, and I really, really enjoyed it that way. Also very much agree on JK being KOTOR 3.
10) Eternity Vault - totally awesome raid!!! 7) Ugh, datacrons... glad it is more viable after the legacy update 6) Shroud Quest... i will have to check that out! 5) Star Wars Zombies, so cool!
The Macrobinocular questline was a lot of fun... up til the end, when it required me to have a group. Every other mission could be soloed... but not the last.
In terms of experience, the jedi knight story provides the definitive star wars experience. You get lightsabers, an apprentice and fight sith. The sith storylines are good too, but are too narrow. You only get to see the in-fighting and power plays. But in terms of rpg storyline, agents get the best hands down.
I can see why he put the JK story on top, as an homage to KOTOR, even though most feel Agent is the best. Another story one must playthrough is the Sith Warrior for this reason--in chapters II and III, most stories are dying...that's when the SW story takes off. I don't want to spoil anything for those who may not have yet played through it, but after Hoth everything changes for your Jugg/Marauder. Like the Agent, the Warrior is well worth multiple playthroughs
I totally agreed with the agent storyline. I played it because I had already beaten the Jedi knight and sith warrior and was I picked it hoping it would be like James bond-ish and I was really satisfied
I enjoyed your list...but personally I truly loved the Sith Inquisitor story line, especially the ending. My agent is my most lethal toon, but my Assassin is my most baddest toon overall.
I just came back to the game after only playing a few months after initial release and now I'm bummed I didn't stick with it. However, this list gives me a lot to do. thanks!
great list throughout, and what's funny/ironic is I just got back into the game and am working through the Jedi Knight storyline(with every intention of romancing Kira ) and if I need a break from that, I'll switch to my Agent
Who's trying to trick anyone? *looks innocent* I lucked out... I used it for the video before the song was registered with RUclips, so I got keep it in. Although 4 years later watching this video, I really wish I had done a better job looping it so there weren't all the gaps.
PSST! In Kaon Under Siege, there is a secret Rakghoul boss implemented prior to the Rakghoul Resurgence Event that will give you a unique pet! Can you find it?
Mindnight Rakling,yeah ,got it.But for me dropped in the past the last boss on Lost Island on Hard Mode.They just later moved to this Midnight Rakhgoul on Kaon.
Before going up, it's to the far right of the stairs leading to the final room with the last 3 bosses. Available whenever the Rakghoul Resurgence event is live. Might need up to 5 vaccines. ruclips.net/video/5ZHXj1BqPMo/видео.html
I play the game and I absolutely love it! I don’t have the courage to do any PvP/group things since my skills aren’t that good and are better suited to the PVE side of things. I do hunt Datacrons. And for me, just my opinion, my fav storyline is the JC(Jedi Counselor), especially shadows. I have multiple counselors and I play them all in different ways to avoid them from being too similar. I do play other classes it’s just that that’s my fav.
That's great to hear! The Consular was my first story, (my first character was a Jedi Shadow!), but the story wasn't my favorite. For me, it was crushing, because I love the class, the look, and the abilities. Despite all that though, it's something I love about this game... there really is something for everyone, and it's great to hear that you picked up the torch by loving this story in particular!
Yep! Jennifer Hale! (She's all over this game... she's also Satele Shan and a host of other voices!) A lot of people play female troopers to play Fem Shep again. :D
Great video! I'm trying to think of some alternatives, but I can't come up with any to displace these 10. There are even more cool things to try though beyond these top 10;) PvP warzones have a major drawback, you never know what you're going to get. They also have a major bonus, you never know what you're going to get. IMO the events are worth trying too; Gree, Bounty, Rakghoul etc. And don't laugh now, but to round out my additions and make a top 15 I'd day the very 1st flashpoint each side (Esseles, Black Talon). For a brand new player on their very 1st toon these really showcase the strengths of the game's style (cutscenes, voice acting etc) and give a great flavor for what lies ahead...
Thank you so much! It's been a while since I made this video, and with reminders from other players, I can safely say there's a few items that would get switched around. If I did this over again, I'd probably put in the Revan Flashpoints and story thread, (Taral, Maelstrom Prison/Boarding Party, Foundry), the Terror From Beyond Op, (which is freaky, unique, and downright bizarre at times!) The one thing I can't do is the "I accidentally activated a freaking WORLD BOSS" moment... when I was first playing the game and got to voss, I clicked on an object that activated the Nightmare Pilgram, and didn't even get the time to say "Holy S$%^&!" before it wiped me into a level 40 smear. The devs took those activators out of the game, but man, that lives forever as on of my favorite, most unforgettable moments in the game!
I want to play Sabbacc, or get a Daily Mission Reward or Flashpoint Loot Drop that is NOT a Shitty Blue "Mk. Gear" piece. I also DO NOT WANT Permanent Level Synching on me: make that option an NPC that could activate/deactivate like the WoW Level Cap NPCs do!
The Fleet Datacrons, (this can be done on Imperial side or Pub), was a special set of datacrons that gave +10 to every stat. They were hidden on either the other ships in the fleet than the main base and took a group to get, but were well worth it! If you have four people and an MGGS (a special item from Alderaan), you can get them.
Done 8/10 of these. Haven't done Eternity Vault since I was never much of a raider, but I've since been interested in becoming one so I'll do it eventually. The second thing is the Eternal Championship. I technically beat it when it was on the PTS, but never beat it when it officially came out.
I have a SWTOR account that I haven't accessed in about a year, before that years. I have about $1000 put into that account, my own place jam packed full with every mount and everything I could get my hands on. Reason why I don't play is because I don't have a PC anymore but TOR is undoubtedly the best game I've ever played. Well, next to Kotor. I have Revan's robes, a shit load of other outfits but my main outfit is pretty sick, don't remember the name. I aged my character over time, he's a Jedi councillor. Orange lightsaber, one powerful weapon. My level is maxed, at least the max level a year ago. I still have stuff equipped from the year of release ;D So when I can log in to check things out I feel old in my outdated armour…but badass nevertheless.
My favorite story is the Smuggler, its all about taking revenge from where you lost everything, and it has some even crazier twists than even the agent's story (the agents story is really twisty though lol i loved it)
Crazier twist than HUGE SPOILER ALERT FOR A ALTERNATE ENDING IN THE AGENT STORY the agent actually joining SIS? I don't mean the 2nd chapter, the agent can literally become a double agent in the end of the story.
Good top ten. How much of this list can be done as a preferred-access(non-sub) player? I've played all classes (except Bounty Hunter/Smuggler) to level 50, collected some datacrons and rescued Revan from prison (Rep flashpoint). I only play PVE, so not alot of interest in PVP.
Most of the list should be doable by F2P players... the only standouts that I think you'd have to pay for are HK-51, (required Section X access), and passes for Flashpoints and Raids to do Kaon Under Siege and The Eternity Vault.
Hello Zak i just wanne take some time to tell you how awesome u are, tbh its a looong time since ive seen such a good video on swtor, and ur voice dude ur voice is so relaxing and chill i could listen to it for hours, editing is amazing, and ur entertaining af, imo u should have waaaaaaay many more subs then u already have. hope ur channel grows and becomes one of the largest swtor channels out there. Much love: Christopher
Nice man! I lot of folks agree with you on the SI questline. I might have to do a video on why that one is so appealing. (It was my least favorite, but I'm blown away how many people like it, so I'm reexamining its merits.) :D
The Rishi>Yavin 4>Ziost Storyline is a must, especially if you want to understand who the Emperor truly is. He is the Dark enemy behind every storyline in the game up to the present expansion (KOTET). You have to do it just once, no matter the class, and avoid the temptation to Start Knights of the Fallen Empire when you hit 60. It is a great story, and worth it.
Shadow of Revan Xpac definitely had an epic quality that KOTET hasn't matched yet. Multiple planets, multiple flashpoints, and a heck of a boss! It also brings up the most inconsistent parts of BW's writing: if the Emperor was so much more powerful than Revan, why was the fight against him so much less epic at the end of KOTET? BioWare really wrote themselves into a corner by the end of Ziost having the Emperor able to wipe out all life on a planet from the other side of the Galaxy. There's no way to really fight that. KOTFE and KOTET all seem to be written to bring the Emperor down to a more human, (ie manageable) level, but it also made the final fight against him in KOTET so much less epic. I love the way you think, amigo! Rishi>Yavin 4>Ziost Storyline is definitely one not to miss!
One suggestion to new players. This is something I've told players several times in game. Do EVERY side quest, doubly true now that the XP and ranking system has been fixed. Before it was a requirement to do every quest in the game. Korriban, do every quest, leave the planet at level 10. Now you'll leave at level 15-ish. This is key because the story bosses became nothing more than a five minute duel and no fear of defeat.
Best video I ever seen for SWTOR is so positiv to animate other player to play this game. I am totaly agree with the top 10 except the agent story. I think the best story for my opinion ist the bountyhunter story and a romance with Mako. Yeah a romance with Kyra I allready have . That was amezing
IMO, the Sith Warrior story line is far superior to that of its counterpart - the Jedi Knight. It's a far more engaging story all the way through, and you get personalized interaction with Vitiate/Valkorian prior to Shadow of Revan. It is also the best story fit for KotET due to this relationship as the Emperor's Wrath. Also, the Jedi Consular is a better story and fit for KotET than the Knight, as the Consular has spent most of the early character quest line building an alliance to take on the Empire. That experience comes directly into play on Rishi and Yavin 4 in Shadow of Revan... and to a greater degree throughout KotET. Not to mention the fact that the Consular was the one who eventually takes on the Children of the Emperor in the later stages of the class story.
10 - Never even considered it, thanks for putting that idea in my head. 9 - While I only play as female characters, I _have_ made sure each character gets their romance sub-plot. 8 - Impossible for free players, right? Well, that sucks. 7 - Tried to, I could never get certain Datacrons. 6 - Tried it, gave up after I couldn't progress past a certain point. 5 - Never even heard of it. 4 - Not a fan of Flashpoint-like missions, I only constantly repeat Black Talon or Esseles for Social Points. 3 - Been there, done that. 2 - Busy with that storyline right now. 1 - Been there, done that.
perhaps i'll someday pickup where i left my jedi watchmen but between the busywork and all the jedi i just couldn't be asked to finish it, though you could do some pretty neat dark side stuff as a jedi :P they seem more fun evil then psychotic evil that the sith are going for
Getting Hk 51 was fun, but the way to get him was pretty tedious, the first part of the quest-line in the Theoretika was unique but the part when you had to scan for the parts was pretty boring and frustrating. The last 2 missions for the shroud questline was fun and interesting but it so difficult to find a group for the missions.
Another one would be: play the trooper class story with dark side decisions. It's hilarious. You get to be a complete jerk to everyone. You are rude and insubordinate to General Garza; you assassinate senators when they threaten to investigate your squad; you kill enemies instead of taking them prisoner; you steal weapons, etc. Plus it has some nice gems of dialog such as "swallow a grenade and do us all a favor" and "I'm not just a thug in a uniform - I'm a heavily armed thug in a uniform".
It's the kind of thing I want to try, but I'd need someone holding a gun to my head for me to be mean to fictional characters.
@@feyefall4855 I know this was 5months ago but my first time playing was was last month and I chose trooper for my first playthrough, I thought I would have a tough time with also being mean especially because I've never done it in any other game like this but as the leader of Havoc I instantly felt the power and started getting big and bad with anyone that would tell me no.
I would also submit the Sith Warrior storyline as a lightsider. it is amazing how compelling a character a Sith Lord can be when they are simply not a dick. Also, the added tension of you and your apprentice being secretly not evil is awesome.
I would argue that the Sith Inquisitor storyline is the best. You start from nothing and rise to the echelons of power. You really feel that sense of progression and the reward is satisfying.
In my opinion the Sith Warrior story is the best, even when it comes to the choices, because it not only changes the story in some ways, but it also influences one companion so much, that you actually decide if she stays the good person that she is or if she turns into a blood-thirsty psychopath, making her so unique and a stand out companion. Plus Vette is probably the best companion in the game, especially when you romance her, outranking Kira by a lot. And the ending is just soooo satisfying, especially when you choose the dark side option. I felt kind of betrayed that the final choice of the Jiedi Knight regarding the last boss in the jedi Knight story line was completely irrelevant to the actual ending. In every other class story you actually get the choice to show mercy or to kill your target for good, leaving space for a lot of speculation. And the Sith Warrior story also makes sense for KOTFE because you were his favorite sith, you impressed him and he actually states this a couple of times in the original class story.
PS: This does not mean that I didn't like your video, I enjoyed it quit a lot, I simply wanted to state my opinion on the matter. :)
Grinddor I agree
I was going to say that, I've only played Sith warrior on KOTFE so far, and the dialogues seem soo fitting to the "Emperor's Wrath". I do not see for example, the Trooper, or the Smuggler as the chosen one by the imortal emperor...
One year later did you finish the Warrior story? its such a blast of a campaign
Heresy, Vette is the one you must romance.
Vette's fun too! I have a great reunion video between her and my LS Jugg in KOTFE. I still dig Kira a bit more, but Vette is certainly in my Top 5!
Zak Ember What about good old Jaesa?
Vette is twilek and I'm rascist against them and jaesa is a psychopath. I just waited for Lana.
Ashara AND Vette are way better if you ask me xD
but Watcher 2 best waifu
Vette scaring Gault with that active missile is probably one of my favorite scenes in the game.
The Sith Inquisitor story line on koriban is pretty funny. Especially as a female, I think her voice is much better than the male one.
SaftOchBulle YES. THIS COMMENT. I love the female inquisitor. if youre super evil, shes a super snarky, bitter, and sarcastic character
The female inquisitor is either snarky and clever, or one hell of an impatient and sadistic bitch. I love her voice.
You guys made me open a fem inquisitor. I'll do it right after i finish my Jedi Knight KoTET one
Zachary Hall omg I need to be an Inquisitor now lpl
that chick's voice is the most orgasmic thing since revenge of the sith (or empire strikes back for you prequel haters)
You are forgetting romancing Vette :D no-one can resist her!
She's a cutie, that's for sure! And a great throwback to Mission Vao. She's pretty much the biggest reason to play a light side Sith Warrior!
SAJL Zeijlemaker I prefer Jaesa over her.. Perfect match to my sadist Juggernaut.. Haha
Vette is too selfish
but she is importand in kotfe and kotor and cn be empress xD
Resisting her was the easiest. Leaving her to die was a no-brainer.
The inquisitor story fits very well with the latest expansions I think, right in the beginning at level one you are constantly told you were a slave so the entire story is your rise to power from the lowest possible area in the empire to becoming the strongest in the galaxy with the help of others of course.
TurbulnceOfAwsm But where are the ghosts you enslaved? There is only one line mentioning this in kotfe od kotet :/
Really enjoyed this video, great picks and great voiceover!
Coming from you, that is a HUGE compliment! Thank you so much!!!! :D
I love just going to tython finding new people grouping up with them teaching them about stuff and then Usually at the end will give them like 200,000 credits to start off with. I just like being able to make someones day, and that's one of the easiest ways I've found to do it.
You're the man! Thanks for helping out the new players!!!
I like that as well, and don't forget about just cruising the planet and giving new players your Legendary buffs, especially when you'll be there a while starting a new character.
1dir helping people get holocrons is also fun.
Same. I go sweep the forests and tombs on korriban and tython remembering how no one helped me
Awesome but we’re were u when I started (I started like 3 days ago, I got my lightsaber!)
Tanking Eternity Vault with my guild using my Sith Assassin were some of the most fun and memorable moments I had with this game. Every class story is good if you pay attention to the dialogue and take the time to enjoy it.
Knight and Warrior are my favorite storylines. They just give you a much larger connection to the Emperor and Expansion storylines.
Light side sith inquisitor had a situation when a random jedi accused me of trying to corrupt and influence some kids and he went: "I'll expose your dark side for all to see... umm... why aren't you evil?"
I'd add to the Imperial Agent that you should play it last. It is really good if you play it first, but it references so many other class stories that you should really play it last to understand all of it.
O my God!!! I still remember when I first was doing HK 51 quest, it took me 12 hours. I grinded for whole day, I remember the feel after I got him. Started when it was daylight, finished when it was a deep night, the memories! ;(
If we talk about a swtor player should do at least once ill say doing a pvp match. not all ppl like it but it really is a must to try it at least once to work with ur teamates to win the opossing team
PVP... HATE pvp... >.< hate how they locked certain KOTFE companions behind PVP walls...
hahaha not a chance!
cesar amaro I do it once on every character I make because of the massive xp from the quest to do it lol.
Robert Loper PVP at low level sucks. You have few attacks and you're fucked against higher levels lol
Excellent list! I really feel like this exact list would also be "The Top 10 Reasons To Play SWTOR"
Absolutely spot on Zak!
Man, that is a HUGE compliment coming from you! Thank you sir!!!
I. Hate. This "Special Snowflake Stat" called 'Mastery'
It ruins the diversity of the player Classes and particular bonuses that were offered by them through the diverse Primary Stats.
honestly I find power to be worst I mean it dose force, tech and healing.
For best dialog, go with Bounty Hunter. Seriously, I roll on the floor so much when hearing that character. "What are you doing with that eel tank?" "I accidentally wandered in here."
I think it's most fun to play your story (regardless of class) by playing opposites. Playing as a dark jedi or light sith create the coolest moments. My friends and I love it. or at least we did until I stopped playing SWTOR
That's a great point! I did enjoy playing a light side sith warrior, (he and Vette hit it off great). Sometimes it's hilarious to play a dark Jedi who just never, ever gets kicked out of the order despite wanton slaughter. Fun times!
wow, didn't expect a response from a 1 year old video, but I appreciate your feedback! It's nice to see a content creator staying in touch.
Of course man! That's what the channel is all about! :D
I wish they had implemented controller support. It would make platforming actually doable for those of us with physical difficulties that cannot efficiently, accurately and consistently perform the necessary abilities required when using a keyboard and a mouse.
I would add. Do the Sith Warrior story line. It is the story line that gives you the classic Darth Vader type feel. Though I was disappointed latter on when the expansions seemed to forget your relationship with the emperor as a sith warrior.
First time through, I played a JK, and the storyline was amazing. I didn't realize, though, that I was allowed to romance anyone... I was trying to be a "good" Jedi.
Years later, I found out that Theron Shan was Grandmaster Satele's son, and I logged out and made a new JK, so I could romance Kira. =) If it's ok for the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, it's OK for me!
Heck yeah! Welcome to the club, man!
Well it's not okay
@@kapitan19969838 It is, actually. The Consular storyline brings up that while marriage is usually not allowed, the Council might make exceptions in certain cases. For instance, if they have faith that a marriage will not lead to one or both members of the relationship falling to the Dark Side, they might allow it. I believe it's specifically brought up if the Consular romances Nadia, but I'm not 100% certain as I've been away from the game for a long time and I'm only just getting back into it.
@@gamester512 It ISN'T. Hence the rule, exceptions don't make the rule non-existent or invalid. They are just that: exceptions. And even so, I would argue that even in the instance of an exception it still is not okay.
Would also add:
+Sith Warrior Story
+The Maelstrom Prison/The Foundry Flashpoints
+The Battle of Ilum/False Emperor flashpoints
+The Priority Targets World Boss Hunt
I can see that. The Revan Flashpoints (from both sides) are all noteworthy for sure, and a good questline tying them together. Defintely loved FE for the logest time. I was never much for the World Boss hunts, though. Great list though, Matei!!!
Zak Ember Thanks
I agree on number 10. Doing EV for the first time is truely an amazing feeling.
I think Warrior makes since for Fallen Empire as well (Emperor's Wrath)
This guy needs to run the advertisement department for this game. He deserves a paycheck from Bioware.
Ahhhhh... if only. :D
I agree with all of this :)
I definitely think the dread master saga should have been added in addition as well. Also, one thing that I've always liked about this game was its world pvp. Now it's nonexistent, but when it was here, it was one of my favorite things to do.
you have the Legends of Tomorrow music as a background, nice.
The HK-51 Questline was frustration incarnate
I think sith warrior has the best background for kotfe and koet being the emperors wrath and all
My number one: play the entire Dread War, starting with the imperial storyline on Belsavis and ending with dread palace
Epic. :D
That mission on Ord Mantell where you clear the landing pad and watch the troopers drop down was one of my favourite side quests in the game.
Nice!
The Operation "Eternity Vault" is one of my favorites, despite it being so easy even on the hardest mode that you could run it blindfolded, but the whole lore about the Rakata is interesting, and as far as it's known, they were the dominating species thousands of years ago, the true Dark side Force users long before Jedi and Sith ever existed. The Shroud, as well as The Dread Seed (I think it was called) quest lines were a lot of fun, combined with datacron hunting, took you to some spectacular places you never been before. As for the class stories, Sith Warrior is one of the best also, it is the most central class in the game apart from Jedi Knight, though one way or another the stories are connected, each class telling the story from their perspective, combined painting the big picture. All stories are great though!
I liked the dread raids after rise of the hutt cartel.
Especially dread palace
Dread Fortress and Dread Palace are definitely two of the finest crafted sets of raids in the game. The boss fights are awesome! I would have considered them for this list, but they lack the set pieces that make Soa and Revan so much fun. Great fights though... they certainly have a special place in my raiding history!
Thank god a swtor youtube channel that the host doesn't make you wanna sleep due to boredom. Subscribed!
If light side Jaesa was romanceable or you could romance Vette and Jaesa at the same time, warrior would be the best story hands down.
One thing you should do at least once in Eternity Vault: get into that one excape pod that blows up on landing, killing you before you start combat. Happened to me three times now since go-live.
First Eternity Vault experience: Half an hour of trash. Die seconds after 2nd boss (lava). Be a moron and "return to Medbay" (which was Makeb for me). Then port back and run ALL the way inside from the beginning. Then get lost in the Pylon area due to not being there to see the route. Not getting the achievement for the Council as it is a "common" bug. Then fall at the final boss and watch the dirt for 10 minutes.
Second Eternity Vault experience: It was awesome. Worth it. :)
You've likely found the speeder by now... ;)
there's many romances I choose, Kira is the 100% knight one
13:25 well it's worth it for the new matriarch lying down for you
My top is what you need to do.
1. Full light side story on the emp side complete. And full dark side on the rep side.
2. Inquisitor story line best for me. You got to see the ending. Best in game for me.
3. Ziost... the best of the best story line for me. Everything after that goes in the different way. Totally wrong atmosphere in the next additions.
I remember trying to get the Datacron on Makeb. Man did we fail a lot. We were 10 people and no one knew how to do it. But I would do it all over again.
My favorite parts of the game is just crafting color dyes and selling them, after so much game play the fighting becomes kinda automatic pilot like... I'm like a SWTOR zombie sometimes, crafting dyes gives me a sense of accomplishment. I do agree the imperial agent does have the best ship and storyline though. I didn't try an agent until I did most of the others and I never regretted it. Just wish they had force powers and a lightsaber.. :)
I think The Esseles-flashpoint is the most memorable single experience from the game I ever had. I was in the early access and managed to get in a few days earlier. This was my first MMO and it took a bit of time to get used to the gamestyle but on the second day I finished Tython, got my lightsaber for my knight and became Jedi Sentinel on the fleet. Then I was heading to Coruscant but the questgiver npc asked me to travel on that ship and what an adventure it grew to be! My fem sentinel, my droid companion and a smuggler with his comp against the Imperial invaders!
Meh, Black Talon was better.
I have to say, my favorite story is the inquisitor because of the rise of absolute power in the sith, each chapter taking out an even more powerful enemy to grow your own power. Plus the companions are cool and pretty good
But, I'd stay away from the consular story...
It's pretty interesting, because it sets an origin even when you start as an acolyte.
as a old sub and new scrub I love the Warrior story line as you rise to power in the sith ranks and your story in the KOTFE is about the continuation of you and Marr hunting down the emperor, the emperor people have served for years and has been silent, and ending him. To me it was like cleaning house kind of story but i cant wait to get them all to 50 ! a little late to the party but oh well haha .
Played 7+ years and did it all. Haven't played for 3 years thinking about going back when the new x pack comes out.
Great list.
As a counterpart to the Jedi knight, the sith warrior is also really heavily tied to the events in the last couple of expansions and almost gives the "other side" of that same story.
In fact I loved all of the stories
I played through all of the story lines in vanilla and avoided the agent because I didn't think it would be very interesting. Man did I ever get it wrong. The Imperial Agent was by far the most dynamic of all the story lines. It had depth and layers beyond any two of the other story lines put together. It was absolutely my favorite, and like the host of this video I'd HIGHLY recommend it to any who haven't played through.
I'm so happy to see the eternity vault on this list!
Done it all and I couldn't agree more with you! Especially with the agent storyline which was even emotional for me in the best way :)
Nice man! Glad you liked it! I've played 4 or 5 agents, and I still can't get enough of that quest line!
Start with a Sith Inquisitor as your first character. Do a Jedi Consular next (and you can even make him a Sith, if you ran a Pureblood Sith for your Inq and thus unlocked the species for all classes), and link him in your Legacy tree to your Inq as child or sibling (people who have played the two should understand why). It really leads to a great opportunity for head-canon, complete with ancient lineages, hereditary special force powers, and an amazing justification for creating your own sub-faction dedicated to the Third Option between the Jedi and Sith religions.
I agree - imperial agent has the best story. The plot twist of act 1 is awsome
I think the fight revan pick was spot on, should have been higher, I get chills every time I hear him speak of his past and how his exploits make him the one who must end the emperor. And his last words and ode to his best friend Malak. I almost cry everytime...
I played the Imperial Agent (Sniper) as my 1 character, though I wanted a Jedi Shadow Tank, and she is still the best of them all - Badassery beyond good and evil !
She is a Chiss, uncompromisingly efficient at getting rid of Jedi and unruly Sith alike, can get 2 assassin droids as companions, the best Ship in the Empire, even in PVP she handles situations with elegancy and utmost proficiency.
And all to bring order in the chaos of the Empire.
My very first character was a Jedi Shadow tank. One of my fondest memories of the entire game and the time I played was in the first few days of launch, taking my green double-bladed saber and joining a PUG group for the World Boss on Coruscant. That character is still one of my favorites, despite the class story being dry as toast.
The IA story is wonderful, as you know... and continues to be so even if you choose to be a light side softee. I'm really glad you had a fun time with it... that storyline (and the other original 1-50 stories) made the game what it is. I miss the old days of it, but I'm happy to steer players towards what was really good about the game!
@@ZakEmber Efficiency is equated to being evil, though I finished it through the last lightside choice there is to make, because I had enough of the whole overpompous Imperial Command and the whole overconfident Sith Stick. )))
For some reason, I have a tendency to delete characters at random as well as make them in tandem with each other so that they are completely opposite each other in all ways. Weapons, armor, personality, everything. All opposites. I want to do a duel-wield bounty hunter and a assault cannon trooper, for instance.
One of the most exhilarating pieces of content for me was when I decided to run 'The False Emperor' /solo/ (No companion, nothing) with my Sith Juggernaut. Her facing down Malgus one on one was an amazing experience, and one aspect of this game I will never forget.
That is an AWESOME one to run solo! The debate will always rage whether it was a good move or not to make the flashpoints group-optional, but it did open up moments like this... being able to face down the last boss of massive story arc in one-on-one combat! Fantastic!
Good list, man. Of the ones I've done I find myself agreeing, and you gave me some good ideas on things I haven't done yet. Great voice over, too.
Some really good suggestions here, might look into those. And yep, the Imperial Agent storyline is by far the most fun I've had playing the game!
I can't romance kira, body type 4
Huh, don't think it matters ;p
Kirxas hahahahaha
You don't need that shallow ***** anyway lol
Mister Boring this is gonna sound weird, but during these three years I lost weight, transitioned to a girl and got my name changed to Kira. I also went from being a borderline incel to having not one but two girlfriends.
Now that I think about it, it’s pretty wild
Kirxas bruh what?
Good stuff Zak, came here from SWTOR central and after watching some of your vids really gotta say that your are a solid youtuber. Keep up the great videos
Thanks man, I appreciate that! :D
I played all 8 classes to 50 and got all my companions to 10k (including HK!). I 1000000% agree with you about IA being the best story. Like, there's never been a doubt in my mind since I played it. My Chiss Sniper was a goddamned hero, but no one would ever know. I played it Light Side, and I really, really enjoyed it that way.
Also very much agree on JK being KOTOR 3.
10) Eternity Vault - totally awesome raid!!!
7) Ugh, datacrons... glad it is more viable after the legacy update
6) Shroud Quest... i will have to check that out!
5) Star Wars Zombies, so cool!
The Macrobinocular questline was a lot of fun... up til the end, when it required me to have a group. Every other mission could be soloed... but not the last.
The Force is with this list.
The Sith inquisitor story is really kickass too
In terms of experience, the jedi knight story provides the definitive star wars experience.
You get lightsabers, an apprentice and fight sith.
The sith storylines are good too, but are too narrow.
You only get to see the in-fighting and power plays.
But in terms of rpg storyline, agents get the best hands down.
@@stupidfuckingidiot name checks out
I guess I'm the only one that likes the bounty hunter story
Not the only one! It may not be my favorite, but it's still fun to play and has some terrific moments!
Bro bounty hunter has a great story, I still think that the Sith Warrior's story is the best but bounty hunter is good
I can see why he put the JK story on top, as an homage to KOTOR, even though most feel Agent is the best. Another story one must playthrough is the Sith Warrior for this reason--in chapters II and III, most stories are dying...that's when the SW story takes off. I don't want to spoil anything for those who may not have yet played through it, but after Hoth everything changes for your Jugg/Marauder. Like the Agent, the Warrior is well worth multiple playthroughs
I totally agreed with the agent storyline. I played it because I had already beaten the Jedi knight and sith warrior and was I picked it hoping it would be like James bond-ish and I was really satisfied
I enjoyed your list...but personally I truly loved the Sith Inquisitor story line, especially the ending. My agent is my most lethal toon, but my Assassin is my most baddest toon overall.
I just came back to the game after only playing a few months after initial release and now I'm bummed I didn't stick with it. However, this list gives me a lot to do. thanks!
great list throughout, and what's funny/ironic is I just got back into the game and am working through the Jedi Knight storyline(with every intention of romancing Kira ) and if I need a break from that, I'll switch to my Agent
great list!
You can't trick me. I know that's Legends of Tomorrow music in the video :)
Who's trying to trick anyone? *looks innocent* I lucked out... I used it for the video before the song was registered with RUclips, so I got keep it in. Although 4 years later watching this video, I really wish I had done a better job looping it so there weren't all the gaps.
PSST! In Kaon Under Siege, there is a secret Rakghoul boss implemented prior to the Rakghoul Resurgence Event that will give you a unique pet! Can you find it?
Mindnight Rakling,yeah ,got it.But for me dropped in the past the last boss on Lost Island on Hard Mode.They just later moved to this Midnight Rakhgoul on Kaon.
Before going up, it's to the far right of the stairs leading to the final room with the last 3 bosses. Available whenever the Rakghoul Resurgence event is live. Might need up to 5 vaccines.

I play the game and I absolutely love it! I don’t have the courage to do any PvP/group things since my skills aren’t that good and are better suited to the PVE side of things. I do hunt Datacrons. And for me, just my opinion, my fav storyline is the JC(Jedi Counselor), especially shadows. I have multiple counselors and I play them all in different ways to avoid them from being too similar. I do play other classes it’s just that that’s my fav.
That's great to hear! The Consular was my first story, (my first character was a Jedi Shadow!), but the story wasn't my favorite. For me, it was crushing, because I love the class, the look, and the abilities. Despite all that though, it's something I love about this game... there really is something for everyone, and it's great to hear that you picked up the torch by loving this story in particular!
Yeah. There’s something for everyone in SWTOR. And if it’s no trouble, I’d like to meet you in SWTOR.
quick trivia point, the Republic trooper classes voice actor if you choose female is actually the same voice actor as fem Shepard from Mass Effect
Yep! Jennifer Hale! (She's all over this game... she's also Satele Shan and a host of other voices!) A lot of people play female troopers to play Fem Shep again. :D
Is that legends of tomorrow’s theme?
It's a version of it, yes!
Great video! I'm trying to think of some alternatives, but I can't come up with any to displace these 10. There are even more cool things to try though beyond these top 10;) PvP warzones have a major drawback, you never know what you're going to get. They also have a major bonus, you never know what you're going to get. IMO the events are worth trying too; Gree, Bounty, Rakghoul etc. And don't laugh now, but to round out my additions and make a top 15 I'd day the very 1st flashpoint each side (Esseles, Black Talon). For a brand new player on their very 1st toon these really showcase the strengths of the game's style (cutscenes, voice acting etc) and give a great flavor for what lies ahead...
Thank you so much! It's been a while since I made this video, and with reminders from other players, I can safely say there's a few items that would get switched around. If I did this over again, I'd probably put in the Revan Flashpoints and story thread, (Taral, Maelstrom Prison/Boarding Party, Foundry), the Terror From Beyond Op, (which is freaky, unique, and downright bizarre at times!) The one thing I can't do is the "I accidentally activated a freaking WORLD BOSS" moment... when I was first playing the game and got to voss, I clicked on an object that activated the Nightmare Pilgram, and didn't even get the time to say "Holy S$%^&!" before it wiped me into a level 40 smear. The devs took those activators out of the game, but man, that lives forever as on of my favorite, most unforgettable moments in the game!
I want to play Sabbacc, or get a Daily Mission Reward or Flashpoint Loot Drop that is NOT a Shitty Blue "Mk. Gear" piece. I also DO NOT WANT Permanent Level Synching on me: make that option an NPC that could activate/deactivate like the WoW Level Cap NPCs do!
Lovin' it Man! What was the fleet datacron, I've never heard of them before (though i don't know how:P)
The Fleet Datacrons, (this can be done on Imperial side or Pub), was a special set of datacrons that gave +10 to every stat. They were hidden on either the other ships in the fleet than the main base and took a group to get, but were well worth it! If you have four people and an MGGS (a special item from Alderaan), you can get them.
Done 8/10 of these. Haven't done Eternity Vault since I was never much of a raider, but I've since been interested in becoming one so I'll do it eventually.
The second thing is the Eternal Championship. I technically beat it when it was on the PTS, but never beat it when it officially came out.
It might be easier now, but it was pretty fun when it came out! It's definitely a BIG step up in challenge from the story content!
You are really good and I love your interactivity with the content and us
I have a SWTOR account that I haven't accessed in about a year, before that years. I have about $1000 put into that account, my own place jam packed full with every mount and everything I could get my hands on. Reason why I don't play is because I don't have a PC anymore but TOR is undoubtedly the best game I've ever played.
Well, next to Kotor. I have Revan's robes, a shit load of other outfits but my main outfit is pretty sick, don't remember the name. I aged my character over time, he's a Jedi councillor. Orange lightsaber, one powerful weapon. My level is maxed, at least the max level a year ago. I still have stuff equipped from the year of release ;D So when I can log in to check things out I feel old in my outdated armour…but badass nevertheless.
Did the HK-51 mission, his best line "I kill to serve"
Lobot approves.
My favorite story is the Smuggler, its all about taking revenge from where you lost everything, and it has some even crazier twists than even the agent's story (the agents story is really twisty though lol i loved it)
Crazier twist than HUGE SPOILER ALERT FOR A ALTERNATE ENDING IN THE AGENT STORY
the agent actually joining SIS? I don't mean the 2nd chapter, the agent can literally become a double agent in the end of the story.
Tom Fougstedt that would be cool, i wish that any class could have a chance to defect or not in general.
iDin0
I mean that that actually can happen depending on what you choose.
Tom Fougstedt well i mean like literally go from the galactic republic to the empire, as like a jedi guardian or something lol
iDin0
Yeah that'd be cool.
Good top ten. How much of this list can be done as a preferred-access(non-sub) player? I've played all classes (except Bounty Hunter/Smuggler) to level 50, collected some datacrons and rescued Revan from prison (Rep flashpoint). I only play PVE, so not alot of interest in PVP.
Most of the list should be doable by F2P players... the only standouts that I think you'd have to pay for are HK-51, (required Section X access), and passes for Flashpoints and Raids to do Kaon Under Siege and The Eternity Vault.
Zak Ember Thanks for the info.
Hello Zak i just wanne take some time to tell you how awesome u are, tbh its a looong time since ive seen such a good video on swtor, and ur voice dude ur voice is so relaxing and chill i could listen to it for hours, editing is amazing, and ur entertaining af, imo u should have waaaaaaay many more subs then u already have. hope ur channel grows and becomes one of the largest swtor channels out there.
Much love: Christopher
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Reminded me why I love this game SO much! Thanks man!
I love all the romances in this game and all the storylines but the sith inquisitor and the smuggler are my favorite
Nice man! I lot of folks agree with you on the SI questline. I might have to do a video on why that one is so appealing. (It was my least favorite, but I'm blown away how many people like it, so I'm reexamining its merits.) :D
I loved the ending of the Sith Stories
The Imperial Agewnt storyline was amazing, but damn that holoterminal bug!!!
It just wouldn't be a BioWare game without a few bugs. :D
The Rishi>Yavin 4>Ziost Storyline is a must, especially if you want to understand who the Emperor truly is. He is the Dark enemy behind every storyline in the game up to the present expansion (KOTET). You have to do it just once, no matter the class, and avoid the temptation to Start Knights of the Fallen Empire when you hit 60. It is a great story, and worth it.
J ateabug Rishi is just one of the coolest planets
Shadow of Revan Xpac definitely had an epic quality that KOTET hasn't matched yet. Multiple planets, multiple flashpoints, and a heck of a boss! It also brings up the most inconsistent parts of BW's writing: if the Emperor was so much more powerful than Revan, why was the fight against him so much less epic at the end of KOTET? BioWare really wrote themselves into a corner by the end of Ziost having the Emperor able to wipe out all life on a planet from the other side of the Galaxy. There's no way to really fight that. KOTFE and KOTET all seem to be written to bring the Emperor down to a more human, (ie manageable) level, but it also made the final fight against him in KOTET so much less epic.
I love the way you think, amigo! Rishi>Yavin 4>Ziost Storyline is definitely one not to miss!
One suggestion to new players. This is something I've told players several times in game. Do EVERY side quest, doubly true now that the XP and ranking system has been fixed. Before it was a requirement to do every quest in the game. Korriban, do every quest, leave the planet at level 10. Now you'll leave at level 15-ish. This is key because the story bosses became nothing more than a five minute duel and no fear of defeat.
DUDE, the eternity vault ! Im ...... crying right now :*)
Best video I ever seen for SWTOR is so positiv to animate other player to play this game. I am totaly agree with the top 10
except the agent story. I think the best story for my opinion ist the bountyhunter story and a romance with Mako. Yeah a romance with Kyra I allready have . That was amezing
IMO, the Sith Warrior story line is far superior to that of its counterpart - the Jedi Knight. It's a far more engaging story all the way through, and you get personalized interaction with Vitiate/Valkorian prior to Shadow of Revan. It is also the best story fit for KotET due to this relationship as the Emperor's Wrath.
Also, the Jedi Consular is a better story and fit for KotET than the Knight, as the Consular has spent most of the early character quest line building an alliance to take on the Empire. That experience comes directly into play on Rishi and Yavin 4 in Shadow of Revan... and to a greater degree throughout KotET. Not to mention the fact that the Consular was the one who eventually takes on the Children of the Emperor in the later stages of the class story.
10 - Never even considered it, thanks for putting that idea in my head.
9 - While I only play as female characters, I _have_ made sure each character gets their romance sub-plot.
8 - Impossible for free players, right? Well, that sucks.
7 - Tried to, I could never get certain Datacrons.
6 - Tried it, gave up after I couldn't progress past a certain point.
5 - Never even heard of it.
4 - Not a fan of Flashpoint-like missions, I only constantly repeat Black Talon or Esseles for Social Points.
3 - Been there, done that.
2 - Busy with that storyline right now.
1 - Been there, done that.
perhaps i'll someday pickup where i left my jedi watchmen but between the busywork and all the jedi i just couldn't be asked to finish it, though you could do some pretty neat dark side stuff as a jedi :P they seem more fun evil then psychotic evil that the sith are going for
Getting Hk 51 was fun, but the way to get him was pretty tedious, the first part of the quest-line in the Theoretika was unique but the part when you had to scan for the parts was pretty boring and frustrating. The last 2 missions for the shroud questline was fun and interesting but it so difficult to find a group for the missions.
