Bioware planning a third faction?

I would love a Hutt faction, it could open up new Races because lets face it the Pirates and Hutts always have the best species in their group. However the chance of this seems unlikely with so many things already broken the idea they would spend months making new classes, species and lv 1-50 quests seems very unlikly. Maybe after there space expansion pack, maybe but I doubt it.

You should familiarise yourself with "Shadows of the Empire."

No Hutts and those seeking to make credits and exploit all the discord this war has caused be it medical supplies, fuel etc..... In every war they are two that fight each other and the one that expoits what the two others have caused.

there is no way in hell swtor will ever have a third playable faction.

When this game first started the war was first and foremost Pub versus Imp.... but the Hutts have been exploting the suffering/needs this war has caused... It would have made no sense to have the Hutts this powerful at the beginning of the game but instead something that is growing and growing like they are doing with the sudden move of acquiring the GTN and what not. Soon the Hutts will acquire so much wealth and power to become a force to be considered on the galactic stage... this is when I believe they will enter a third faction and allow us to play them but not just Hutts but other races allied with them..

Your lack of faith and insight I find most disturbing

it's highly un-likely, but in the ever changing world of an MMO. never say never

but i can't see it anytime soon if ever

ya i thought this would be awesome, to have a choice after you leveled to 50 to choose which side....or stay neutral. I think it especially would make sense for Smugglers, and Bounty Hunters.

Maybe they will attempt to 1 up wow in this one... small... thing..

You mean besides in things like fully voiced questgivers, character generation (not that I think TOR's is the best, mind you), dialogue options, gear stat customisation, companions, cross faction communication for RP, minimal pants-on-head stupid villains, stories that stand up to scrutiny, and major female characters that don't swoon and pine for a man in their lives?
