The trooper thing didn't hook me until the end of the first planet, after that I quite liked it.

Yeah, I was initially down on them but everyone saying the story was pretty cool forced me through.  The end of the first planet did indeed have me hooked.

The Imperial Agent story is, IMHO, the best in the game.  The gameplay is ok, not the best, but the story is really well done.

That's fair enough, but there's always going to be that factor in these kinds of games. Especially if you've played a few Bioware games in your time, you'll be able to recognize the setups and tricks well in advance. I totally gamed more then one story choice with "CONSEQUENCES" because I was familiar with that particular story device. 'Oh I've danced to THIS song before, you can't fool me!'

Yeah, I had the Consular story nailed on the second planet.  You can still get entertainment (and hilarious one liners) out of it though.  Bioware games, try not to overthink.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

This isn't particularly spoily, because I am going to be vague:

The inquisitor starting companion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> consular starting companion. Also everything that comes out of my inquisitor's mouth is solid fucking gold.

Does Sith Inquistor force you to be a douche-bag? I only played mine to level 4, but all dialog choices were various ways of showing the finger verbally. Oh and there was a lot of bullying going on at a Sith Academy...

Edit: Thinking now that maybe I am not cut out for Sith? All I wanted to do is please my master, and if I have to kill hordes of innocent people for the empire at least be professional about it.

I don't think showing verbal fingers really counts as being a douchebag for the sith. More like par for the course.

As far as I can tell, being a sith involves being a douchebag, it's just a matter of what KIND of douchebag you want to be. My manquisitor decided he wanted to be the "fuck all y'all" kind of douchebag, where he sassed the shit out of his asshole instructor and picked light side choices just to fuck people over. I didn't feel like a douchebag (I am terrible at being evil or even just renegade in the case of the Mass Effects, if that helps you at all) as much as I felt like a troll. But given I was trolling crazy evil people, it was a good kind of trolling, if that makes sense.


EDIT: All that said, if you want to play Empire but not be a huge douchebag, you might be better off with the IA. All of Empire is some degree of douchebag, but the IA seemed like the least douchey of the douchebags. Which is saying something, seeing as how s/he is basically the secret police for the Space Nazis. But I didn't play the BH at all, so they might be even less douchey.

Yes, that helps, thank you.

I have a hard time immersing myself with evil characters as well. At least as long as there is no way to justify the deed. (as in "Rachni are evil and dangerous. Of course you die! *pushes exterminate button*).

The BH can be a enormous douche if you so choose, but it's mostly "Man, these fucking empire bastards are all crazy as shit, but their money is good so whatever".

Well, you get bottlenecked through some shared quest areas with conversations that essentially boil down to 'asshole? : yes/no' no matter what your class.

I didn't feel particularly evil on my Inquisitor.  Manipulative, better than everyone, not willing to take crap, and fairly snarky, but not evil.

Sigh, I have plans for my (possibly female) Inquisitor: a total babbling, cackling MUHAHAHA idiot. Hopefully I'll be able to play her like that  why so serious?
