Ok fair enough, pact with friends is dark side all the time so I wasn't sure.

It's boring not being a dick to NPC's though :P

Not even that. Technically you can't use red bladed sabers, but if it's given to you as a quest reward you can use it. I've been light side sith since the beginning but I've had a red saber for the past 15 levels.

Thats why you have to mix it up. Be nice to characters you dig and an *** to the ones you don't. Just choosing the 3rd answer gets bland after awhile.

Wrong. Their choices do not affect your light/dark points. You get points based off your choice no matter the outcome.

I like being Lightsided Sith. It's calculated evil, as opposed to just being evil for evil's sake. I think of it like this: Lightside Sith=Lawful evil and darkside sith=chaotic evil.

I play my Sith how I think a person loyal to the Empire would make decisions which seems to work out to alot of light side points.

To just be "truly" evil wouldnt work out well for a society.

You couldnt just go around killing people when you felt like it, society would crumble.

Evil Sith: Hey Mr Scientist your experiment failed
Mr Scientist: yes it did but I learned alot and should get better results with each new experiment.
Evil Sith: bah too late.....sticks light saber through Scientists eye.

Without going into too much detail or spoilers, in one of the republic storylines you encounter a Sith Lord who could be labeled as a Lightside Sith Warrior. He was easily the coolest Sith NPC character I have encountered.

I can see a Lightside empire player as someone who follows the Sith Code with a high value on honor. They won't kill someone unless it benefits them greatly, and said character may consider harming innocents cowardly. Nowhere in the Sith Code does it say "be a jerk"

Is Lightside armor lighter, and Darkside darker?, what advantages are there, just curious.
For starters, light-siders make for great comic relief during flashpoints and operations.

based on a culture that believes they are the strongest and strike down their masters so they can be the master at the first opportunity they get..

I'd say you are full of it.. Sith culture is cutthroat and the weak and good would perish.

I kill anyone and anything that is in my way.. or in my orders.
