Last night I finished up Chapter 1 of the Sith Warrior storyline. The feeling was epic.
Background info: I have been playing a mid-light Sith Warrior, mostly taking decisions that felt right (finally turned off the light/dark indicator in the conversation wheel so it wouldn't influence me). I tend to find both dark Sith and light Jedi to be absurd in their respective devotion. The dark Sith cares for nothing but himself (Sadistic Hedonism?) while the light Jedi is a walking contradiction (somehow love is wrong but compassion is okay).
I've worked my way up the immortal tree with pleasant results. Most trash mobs don't slow me down (I've been consistently 1-2 levels above them) and I rarely ever activate my strongest defensive buffs. I use Quinn but keep him in DPS mode. He still throws enough heals my way to keep me nearly topped off even in extended battles. I pretty much feel the powerful warrior I should.
Oh, and British accent. I love the voice acting on the male side (haven't tried the female).
Anyway, last night was mostly the first time I felt the decisions I was making actually mattered. Sure, there was that weird doppelganger on Tatooine which recognized my path, but it seemed to have little bearing at the time. Last night, the battle was glorious. I tried to talk down Nomen Karr and watched him turn to the dark side in an attempt to best me. I foolishly failed to recover my strength after each stage of the battle (he couldn't possibly get up again, could he? Oops. . .) which only enhanced the greatness of the battle. I had to use every trick in my arsenal to defeat him.
But then, it kept getting better when Jaesa showed up. My decisions throughout the previous part of the game actually felt like they mattered. Compared to Nomen, the battle with her was trivial, but the dialogue was awesome. I managed to convince her that we needed to change the Empire from the inside out. To top it all off, I went back and spoke with Darth Baras treating him with my usual disdain to which he rewarded me with the title of Sith Lord. Truly a great night of game-play.
I hope the rest of the story plays out in similar fashion. I'm a little concerned I'm going to lose my 1-2 level edge as I get reduced XP for being a cheapskate FTP player, but I believe there is a double XP event coming up next month which should help.
Keep fighting the good fight!
