In the galaxy of Star Wars, many would fantasize about being a Jedi, or a Sith, and wielding the Force. I must admit a fascination for the space wizards, and the ability to channel supernatural powers, but to me that is not what a science fiction setting is about.
That is one of the reasons why, when SWTOR will be in my hands at the end of the year, I will not start as a Force user: the other classes are more attuned to what I like in science fiction, rather than to my tastes in fantasy.
I don't have any preference between the light and the dark side. If I were to be choosing for my real life, I'd have to stop and think all the pros and cons of both factions, and I think my choice would ultimately depend on chance. Luckily, for the sake of the game, I don't have to worry about consequences, thus I'll only chose according to the class I like the most.
Let's start from the last, the one I am less likely to want to try: the bounty hunter. Make no mistake, it can be a very cool class, but from the footage I saw so far, I think it looks boring.
Second from the bottom, I place the trooper, just because I would feel too much like I'm trying to play a Starship Troopers fantasy, rather than Star Wars.
This leaves the Imperial Agent and the Smuggler, the backstabbing classes of the bunch. To chose here, I have to ask myself: do I want to go about doing my own business for my own profit, or I'd rather be part of the Empire?
Just so, we have a winner: my first Old republic character will be a Smuggler. I just hope I'll be able to customize it (and its ship) enough to really make it mine.
Just one little thing: this whole post means nothing if there is the chance to destroy some gungans and ewoks, in which case I'll feel compelled to play a Sith Inquisitor.
