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.
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.
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
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
I found mixing the two up to stay neutral super fun
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.
There is no way the trooper story even comes close to the agent one.
You're right trooper is better
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.
DS Trooper is somewhat fun but Loyalist trooper is very robotic, as are the companions.
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
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.
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 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%
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.
Didn't even mention the light side option for Sith Warrior. THAT is the best class story in the game hands down.
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Great tag team video. I haven't played the game, but all the reasoning sounded pretty solid.
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.
The imperial agent and the sith warrior are personally my favorite class stories in this game and are really awesome and badass in my opinion.
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)
where is that scene from I don't remember that one? 10:28
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 ?🤣
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.
What can I do once I finish chapter 3 of the Sith Inquisitor?
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.
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.
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.
The Sith warrior has the unique companion can be light side or dark with completly different personalities
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!
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
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.
I loved becomimg Darth Impreius and battling Darth Malak on his station as the fleet battles around you. And i loved weirding everyone out while choosing every light side option.
I recently finished the Jedi Consular story and I don't recall any of these cutscenes. :/
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.
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 literally wanted a video like this the other day, nixxiom, one of us is psychic
Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior are my two favorite class stories, they both have great opportunities for totally evil, or honorable playthroughs.
My #1 favorite is Imperial Agent. It's easily one of the most deep and complex storylines.
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 smuggler are my favourites. something about being an outlaw is awesome to me
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 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
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.
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
Consular = That feeling you get when you just woke up and look like the dead walking, the worst.
Trooper = That feeling when you've had nothing but bread for 2 weeks, you want anything else, anything else.
BH = When you order pizza from Little Caesars but they give you the nastiest boxes instead of the freshest.
Inquisitor = The power of maaaaaannyyy...
Smuggler = Thor Ragnarok, but not the badass mythos just the meme movie.
Agent = The Law Abiding Citizen.
Knight = I can do this all day.
Warrior = The Chad.
My personal take on this (I played this game since it came out):
1) The best of the best: Imperial Agent. There is just nothing close to this. Agents have the most interesting and well written story of all classes. Its just marvelous, and unlike many other class stories, this one keeps getting better and better and better, it is just a blast from the start to the end. Plus, you got the funniest relationship and the only one that isn't like "oh, you are so powerful and beautiful, do you really love me? lets get married!". No, Kaliyo will make your life way harder than that. Another plus, you have the best starship of all classes hands down. PLUS two of your companions play a very big role in later expansions, and while you don't really fit the role of commander, you have fought sith and jedi before, you know what your are doing and you know how to be a responsible leader. The voice acting is pure perfection, and the animations and aesthetics are quite amazing aswell.
2) The sith inquisitor. As was said in the video, this is pure dark star wars magic fantasy, with plenty of chances to be good and fight the evil within the empire or sink yourself in the dark side. It is allways interesting, and you get a monster companion that eats force user souls. That's allways nice. Their romance options are (in my opinion) very poor and not that satisfying, but hey, there is allways Lana Beniko.
3) The bounty hunter. Their story is quite good, to be honest, but the best part is chapter one. It's so fking good. It doesn't really get boring at any point, and the voice acting is just something else, specially on male hunters. Your companions are... Not that good, to be honest. The only good one is the jawa one, but you get him very late in the story. It doesnt feel good to be a commander with this character. I mean, one day you are killing whoever for money, next day you are a noble soul who saves the galaxy? Also, the fact that you are an imperial class doesn't really fit that well with the bounty hunter thing, if you ask me. But still, their story is amazing, the animations and aesthetics are amazing, and the starship is really cool too. Overall, a magnificent class choice.
4) The jedi knight. The story is good on its own, but the best part is that the game is designed for you. No other class fullfills the commander role as well as the jedi knight in the later expansions, and no other class has that kind of deep influence in every other class stories. You are the main character and it shows. Their romance is good enough, but most of their companions are... boring. Their class story is good along all three chapters and you will never get bored.
5) Sith warrior. The companions are cool, the story is just sith regular fantasy. Fight the enemies of the empire (with usually means imperial people), blah blah. Treason, blah, blah. Unlike with the sith inquisitor, there is not much going below the surface here, but it feels quite good playing the expansions, and it makes you feel POWERFUL. The aesthetics and animations are on point and you feel like you could smash the shit away from the emperor himself if he dares to stand in your way.
6) The smuggler. This class is only here because of chapter 1. That first part of their class story? Pure gold, my friends. Amazing. Ashtonishing. It almost makes it worthwhile to be a thievery peasant with no force powers in a world dominated by sith and jedi. Almost. Then you finish chapter one and you gotta play through chapters 2 and 3... And they are a pretty big dissapointment. While it feels good to play through their class story, it feels stupid pretending to be the Alliance commander. I mean, your clever lines and a petty blaster are not gonna be enough to save the galaxy, im sorry. The only reason Im not putting this in the bottom of the list is because trooper and sage exists. Also, your starship is A PAIN IN THE ARSE to navigate. If companions could freely move around it instead of having a fixated position, you would never be able to talk to them.
7) The jedi sage. Boring. It is just boring through chapters 1, 2 and 3. Imagine playing a healer class all through all the story and thats the feeling you get from this class. Your companions suck aswell, it feels like just being a regular jedi and not the main character of the game. It will forever stand in the shadow of the real main character here, the jedi knight. Mediocrity at it's peak.
8) The trooper. Chapter one is like 4/10. chapter 2 is a sound 1/10 and chapter 3 is the same as chapter 2 because they are the exact same story but in different planets. Your companions suck, all of them, and the feeling you get is "oh, the empire builded a big bad weapon, lets destroy it" over and over and over again. The first chapter is a little bit more exciting, but not by much. Your starship is somewhat cool, and the story is so bad that you will spent a lot of time just iddling inside it, doing nothing because you are bored to death. At least it feels good as a commander in the expansions, because even if you are not force sensitive you are a trained warrior and a leader. You are also a big republic diehard, but that's something that adds a little spice when you are forced to work with imperials. The aesthetics and animations are just mediocre aswell. I mean, the bounty hunter gets to fly to their objective using a badass jetpack but you just run (sometimes throuth the air, like an armored magic unicorn) and then do a pitiful charge to your victim. They use the jetpack to perform a FKING FIRE PUNCH while you hit your enemy with your riffle electric butt. Most of your armors have a stupid square box backpack, but you can have an autocannon. That whould've been cool, I guess, if commando wasn't the worse dps class in the entire game.
And that's that, sorry for all that text.
***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.
Not me wanting to play an MMO at midnight when I have work at 6am
I agree that the sith warrior story line is the best. Played both dark and light side warrior. My favorite chapter was the first.
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
Trooper feel alive lol, 75% dialogue like 3 choises and all of them yes sir😂
Great video!
I would return to SWTOR if they would get off their ass and finally do something with Darth Jadus
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?
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
I like every Class Story for what they are.
Even though many hate the Consular Story. I loved it. It had a rough Chapter 1 but becoming one of the youngest Jedi Council Member ? Dream come true similar like to Mace Windu.
Even the whole thing with the Children of the Emperor was interesting also the twist at the end got me. Like I didnt saw it coming...
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 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.
My personal favourite is the inquisitor and agent, for the worst I would pick soldier...by faaaaaar
i'm relieved that every time i begin to hear the siren's call of SWTOR i am reminded that pureblood sith isnt playable or unlockable without a paid subscription
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)
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.
I am going to try the game gain its been years since i have played I wonder if i still have my account lol
“Number one: the Sith warrior.”
You’re god damn right
when i started playing swtor i went with the sith warrior and that's got me hooked
Guys, do u think is swtor worth it to stary playing now for the first time? Or not worth it
I have a theory these type of ratings highly depend what classed author played first
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.
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.
100% loved the imperial agent story. Its my favorite.
Yall were pretty spot on
3:10 well someone watched Josh Strife Hayes' video about swtor
You put the Trooper...above the Agent.
It is about personal preference I guess - I played all the storylines since 2011; the consular storyline is not that bad; when class selection freedom was enabled I chose bh/trooper, jedi knight/base line and trooper/sniper combos for replaying ... those 3 are my fav storylines as well ...
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.
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.
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 .
Agent, Knight and Warrior are the top 3 IMO and clearly the 3 that bioware put those most effort into.
I can’t even remember the imperial agent third act.
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
Sith Inquisitor story line only in 6th place? :(
i can´t continue the sith warrior story chapter 4 only because of that beast that infinetly heals
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.
My Imperial Agent is named Simo Häyhä. I couldn’t believe the name wasn’t taken :)
