Storyline

For those of you that don't know the storyline it is as follows:

Ages before the creation of Darth Vader, the Sith Empire have been destroyed and after years of waiting they have finally decided to make their return and fight the Republic once more.

The Sith Empire is formed of Bounty Hunters, Sith Warriors and Imperial agents and you are allowed to play as any of these "classes" when you choose the to enter the darkside.

If you choose to defend the Republic then you will be looking to play with classes such as "Jedi knights, troopers and smugglers".

Each of the classes in the empire and the republic all have their own advantages and disadvantages but it is guaranteed that most people are going to go for the Jedi knights or Sith warrior class so that they can wield the lightsaber.

Features Of The Game

A reason the SWTOR game is highly anticipated is due to the features of the game that are available to the players:

These warzones allow you to play against other people in the game which is something that many people would like to do against other characters from all over the world

The chances of getting bored with a galaxy of worlds at your disposal is zero to none with a lot of space and many missions that you can play.
