I have a lvl 35 LS Juggernaut, a 46 DS Sith Maurder and I love the story of both the DS and LS views. Even thought fairly early I pretty much knew what was up with Baras, I was still rather pissed at the start of Act III by what happened. I knew it was going to but yet I was angry it did lol

I just started a BH so I have nothing there but so far I am enjoying it.

My husband has a lvl 50 DS BH so I kinda know whats up. He also has a lvl 25 DS Inquisitor and I love hearing him talk about it.

I think I will make an Agent in the next month or so after I play my BH a little more.

We both tried Jedi Consular and got so bored by lvl 15 we quit.

In order:
IA- Truely amazing, especially from Act II and up.
SW- Made me feel like a ******.
BH- Ive never hated any villians from the media, but this broke the record. After playing BH story, I just wanted to shoot Tarro Blood in the face.
Trooper- i was actually surprised to find it was a great storyline.
SI- It has its ups and downs, but its defenilty better than its sister class, JC.
JK- Meh.
JC- Double meh.
Smuggler- Just no.

1. Smuggler by far is the best. Humor on every planet and nothing is funnier than Belsavis. The voice acting is great especially Risha (Tara Strong) and Guss is the funniest companion ever.
2. Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular are next because they are epic in their scale. I enjoy the voices of the female knight (Kari Wahlgren) and Kira (Laura Bailey).
3. Trooper is okay. Too much betrayal and I hate what happens after Belsavis. Although I just might try to romance Aric just so I can name my kids after someone. The female trooper voice actress is very good (Jennifer Hale).
4. Bounty Hunter seems to be next because you can actually not work for the evil emperor and the sith. The female bounty hunter's voice (Grey DeLisle) and Mako's voice are both well done.
5. Sith Warrior and Sith Inquistor are just plan twisted and evil and I will not even complete the story lines. I want to kill the emperor not work for him. The Republic may not have the nicest people and may do bad things, but that is nothing compared to the sith. The sith have some good voices, but that is not enough to overcome the evil in the story lines.

I have not tried an agent and will have to find a source that tells me what the story is because I would rather have my character die than have the sith empire win. I would finish the sith stories if I knew that I could hurt or cripple the sith empire by being lightside.

Evil winning is not Star Wars because Star Wars offers hope and when evil wins hope loses.

I have thought of one way too increase the amount of republic players. Yoda species for Knights and Consulars with most of the dark side choices removed. Everyone loves Yoda.

I've only had SWTOR for about 10 days now, and have only played 3 classes. I'm not playing on an RP server, but I'm coming straight from SWRP where story and character development are everything and what have kept the community going for half a decade now, so obviously story is just as important as gameplay to me.

Jedi Knight (Light Side, Neutral/Good):

I'm only level 18 right now, but the story is gripping and has me hooked. It's epic on a scale that I can only compare to Revan or Cade Skywalker. I don't feel like this grand hero. I'm a fresh Jedi Knight prodigy, and my companions keep telling me we're saving the galaxy. An average hero in a grand tale on a grand journey and it feels very refreshing.

Bounty Hunter (Light Side, Neutral/Good):

I haven't leveled my Chiss BH very far (only 15), but the story keeps me hooked. There's this epic tale going on across the galaxy (Sith vs Jedi), and I'm shown that there are plenty of subplots. Recruited and trained to undertake the Great Hunt and earn some fame, and as a result credits, my priorities suddenly change when my mentor and team who were kept around just long enough to bond with are murdered. I'm suddenly on a personal vendetta to avenge my mentor and win this contest, and I really feel like the story was inspired by Jango Fett during the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter game throughout Act I.

Smuggler (Neutral, Neutral/Neutral):

I honestly haven't progressed far in this story and have just arrived on Coruscant. The villain and mystique doesn't keep me hooked. But I find myself wanting to play to find this rogue smuggler become reunited with his beloved freighter, and it really feels refreshing to experience gameplay as someone from the underworld. The starting companion seems uninteresting though and is quite literally just a follower or drone. This story definitely feels quite less gripping than the other two.

Finished 3 of them so far, but...

50 BH: Story was kinda meh. Ok, being hunted by the Republic was funny, and it was a well done story that reminded me a lot of "A Fistful of Dollars" in some parts.

50 JK: Chapter 1 was also kinda meh, but it got Epic after that. The entire concept was insane! Loved it.

50 SW Light Side: Honestly, my favorite. It was priceless to see how many Jedi are really blinded by their preconceptions of how a Sith should be. Also, the comedy was great in some parts, and the story contact on Corellia is cool. Dark Council member with a helluva sense of humor and a pretty sunny disposition. Go figure. lol

36 SI Grey: Fun so far. Definitely different than any of the others. Had me busting a gut on several occasions with the dialogue choices for being a smart***.

34 IA: Also a blast to play. The story so far is pretty fun, even though I'm barely into Chapter 2.

34 Trooper: Meh. Ok story, but a bit boring after Chapter 1. Some good lines and dialogue choices, but they could have gotten a better VA to do the Trooper's voice. My vote would have gone to Adam Baldwin (Dutch in Halo ODST and Kal'reegar in ME2).

So playing LS Sith does significantly impact the storyline?

Somewhat, yeah. From what I've seen, the ending is a LOT different after you beat... the final boss. I literally played my SW completely LS, with NO DS choices made. Sound boring? It was anything but boring. Boring would be playing a Knight completely LS. Knight completely LS is a celibate idiot with NO concept of the real world. Warrior LS is a guy that does the right thing, and still knows how to have fun.

I'm also going to go with the Imperial Agent, the storyline really is fantastic. But I think that a few important reasons as to why have been left out, so I'm going to take some time to really make the case as to why it is Bioware's finest class story.

Also ladies, forgive the masculine pronouns, just using it for simplicity of writing.

1. The Imperial Agent is the only class that is truly original. The force users, smuggler, trooper, and bounty hunter all have very strong tie ins to movie characters, though to be fair the connection is probably weakest in regards to Troopers. But there is no movie equivalent of the Imperial Agent. The Agent is 100% fresh in the Star Wars Universe.

2. The Agent (and the Smuggler shares this) doesn't possess superhuman abilities, and is not armed and armored to the teeth. The Agent seems like he should be the most vulnerable, but really he's the most human. He has basic armor, he's not some juggernaut, and uses very standard weaponry. He is a character that fights with precision and brilliance. And when the Imperial Agent stands up to some of the "giants" of the universe, whether it be standing up to a Sith Lord/Jedi Knight, or facing other beings of unimaginable power, there is just something so stylish about the way the Agent handles it. By all accounts he should be completely outmatched and/or outgunned by just about anything he comes across, yet skill and tactics prevail.

3. The Imperial Agent story is filled with clear purpose, you do have an objective, but a magnificent amount of obscurity as to how to accomplish it. The decisions the Agent has to make aren't based on whims of how good or evil you feel. Most of the dark side decisions aren't decisions of cruelty, but a matter of efficiency, just as most of the light side decisions aren't matters of mercy/goodness. Playing the story to its fullest, and not simply mindlessly mashing lightside or darkside choices brings about absolute dilemmas. After having played through several of the other class stories a fair bit, I've yet to find one decision that matches up with the obscurity regarding the right path that the IA is faced with several times. No matter what you choose, many times you're really left wondering if that was really the best choice.

4. The ending was incredibly epic in its scale, but at the same time incredibly personal, and not simply in a "Ugh, bad guy, me kill!" or "Oooh, good guy, me save!" sort of way. And the way in which you get to define your character in the final scenes is amazing. You really do get to make Cipher Nine in to who you want him to be, with three drastically different approaches to the current role of the character for the Intermission.

5. The Imperial Agent definitely gets to feel like the Unsung Hero. A massive catalyst of change within the galaxy that virtually no one will ever know about.

And for the Operatives:
6. Vibroknife, 'nuff said.

Sith Warrior - best by far so far. Taken it to lvl 50 and I even went LS(a mistake cause Jaesa wont be a bad girl now :/ )

Bounty Hunter - I have only taken my BH to lvl 33 or so, but it's been fun so far.

Sith Inquisitor - It started out well until Act II, then it just got weird in my opinion. The whole Khem Val with an annoying woman's voice very lame. Leveled Inqusitor to 50 as well.

Imperial Agent - I hear it's one of the best, but mine is only lvl 12 or so so I wouldnt know.
