Indeed, compared to the Sith Warrior, you don't really have much motivation to move on in the story. I sure liked starting as an underdog, but the pay-off was not that great. The Warrior's reward is actually far greater.<br /><br />The "villain" for the last two acts was... annoying, but you didn't really feel intimidated by him, or exactly hated him. It is IMPLIED that he hesitates to kill you because he sees a bit of himself in you, but it's never explored enough for it to make a difference. Shame, Bioware.<br /><br />On the other hand, the Warrior's story was a bit too classic "Sith power play" to my taste, and you're constantly serving someone, all the way to the end, even if it's a different master. I like how the Inquisitor has more agency, and is acting on his/her own since act 2, with his/her own power base. I'd say in the end I enjoy the Inquisitor more, due to the greater independency, and because they are in a better position to manipulate people and orchestrate their rise to greater power, or at least greater understanding of the Force, and see things that maybe other characters don't. Again, I guess my tastes go too strongly towards the wizard type.PsycheEmperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056748290352999241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-55260590792308068232013-05-28T18:14:09.249+01:002013-05-28T18:14:09.249+01:00I too have mixed feelings about the Sith Inquisito...I too have mixed feelings about the Sith Inquisitor's story line. I can certainly relate to almost everything you said, except the part about the "end boss". I despised that person on principle and was extremely annoyed at how many times one actually has to fight exactly the same fight (Come on!). The Inquisitor's archaeological discoveries in Chapter I were rather enjoyable – an apprentice has to do their masters bidding.<br /><br />Playing an Inquisitor teaches the player a lot about micro-managing one's companion. If done properly, even most [HEROIC] missions pose hardly any threat. Therefore, I would highly encourage anyone to play either an Inquisitor or a Sage as one of the first classes.Maldwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726258842496198525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-31770249529739066392013-05-28T11:41:55.689+01:002013-05-28T11:41:55.689+01:00I suspect that was by design. Your character didn...I suspect that was by design. Your character didn't grow up knowing anything other than a slave's life, and now you're thrust into this arcane and byzantine set of politics. Plus knowing all the power you've got means people both hate and fear you.<br /><br />The Sith Warrior is a completely different animal, because you come into this with a much greater understanding of what it means to "be Sith". He also has a potentially better understanding of the honor that some Imps (and a certain ex-Imp) talk about, which the Inquisitor has never really seen. <br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-60022746287494587172013-05-28T08:46:02.644+01:002013-05-28T08:46:02.644+01:00Well, I didn't mind being ordered around durin...Well, I didn't mind being ordered around during "the apprentice years". Not knowing why I was doing the things I was doing just left me feeling kind of uninterested (even though I realise that your master not telling you about her plans is a plot point).<br /><br />Once your character gains independence though, it still feels like you're constantly struggling and floundering, unsure what to do.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-13448861011552182572013-05-28T02:26:08.724+01:002013-05-28T02:26:08.724+01:00I haven't gotten back to my Inquisitor since s...I haven't gotten back to my Inquisitor since she picked up her apprentice at the end of Taris --been working on my Commando when I've the time-- but what I saw I really enjoyed. It does have its ups and downs, but I do realize that being an apprentice to a sith lord means a lot of "Here, slave, DO THIS!" What I was intrigued with was the glimpses into the culture in the Sith Empire. The Sith Lords are very much a pampered Upper Class, seeking to preserve their power as much as possible. It's almost as if they realize that the rest of the Empire could bounce them on their collective asses if they don't keep them in line.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
