Picked up this game last night. Is it worth making two of every class for the story?

    So I got this game last night, dropped 5 bucks for preferred status, and rolled a republican jedi. I was just wondering if it's worth making one for the imperial side as well. Is the story different enough to justify having 2 of each of the 4 classes?

    I'd say so. Some people like to make one of each faction and others don't. I personally never did.

    I never did that I would only do that if you have the time also it can make the game extremely repetitive and can become boring , but if you think you can do it without losing interest I would say good luck!

    Personally I find the Sith Story better. The Jedi one just seems so.. happy.. The Sith one seems to have more emotion to me.

    I've been trying to play dark side Jedi but Bioware's writing makes it really difficult to do without feeling terrible. I wanted to be more of an antihero who kills bad guys instead of sparing them, but the game forces me to be an asshole by screwing over innocent people. I wish they would let you be neutral but there's no special gear for neutral orientation.

    Dark Side Jedi is just being a jerk really. Sith Lightside is more interesting.. especially warrior lightside.

    The game feels like a single player game shoved into a massive multiplayer online environment. So it would probably be pretty interesting to play most classes from two different perspectives.

    i'd say do it to experience as much of the story as possible. it is a story drive game and you would be missing a huge part if you only played as one character.
