*All this information can be read in the current issues of Star Wars Insider and PC Gamer. Please read no further if you don’t want anything spoiled.


Jedi Consular:
-Starts on Tython of course, as a Padawan
-Locals asked Jedi to help vs ‘Flesh Raiders’, a group that’s ravaging the planet. Sound like some sort of scavenger gang. The Jedi have declined to help, preferring to stay out of business other than that of the Jedi
-Lots of specialization options, including combat/lightsaber specialization which will make the class very solo-play survivable.

Jedi Knight:
-Started with two sabers in a cavern of Flesh Raiders who wielded vibroblades.
-Jedi Knights can Force Push enemy NPC’s which Jedi Consulars have ‘bounced’ [TK?]


Sith Warrior:
-Born and bred among the Sith Empire [Sounds like a Sith ‘noble’]

Sith Inquisitor:
-Start as a ‘human slave’ [I found it odd the article said human in specific] on Korriban. Basically the Sith have slaves from other worlds since the war – you’re basically noticed as a Force potential and must prove yourself to an ‘overseer’, which is described as ‘true-blood Sith species’. You can follow the Sith Empire and your masters or forge your own destiny…
-Inquisitors have the ability to ‘electrocute’ npc’s during conversations to coerce them

-Each class has a set of companions for their story. The Dashade is met at about 8 hours into the game and is perfect for hunting Jedi. Xalek becomes your ‘Darth Maul-like’ apprentice much later on. The way you treated your own trainer later determines how Xalek joins your party.

That's about all I can remember - the rest of the info was all pretty general about the basics of other classes.

Sounds like the set to a XXX movie.

Great info. Thanks DeaconX for the read.

Nice.

Yeah I thought 'Flesh Raiders' sounded a little ... adult lol.


@GamewizX - happy to be able to provide a bit here and there It's a neverending hunger for info until this baby is OUT hehe.

cool beans

Tell me about it. I'm craving info, searching daily through the internet for any interview I might've missed, lol.

You managed to cage my hunger for a few moments, but now it has broken free of it's cage and is far more ravenous than ever. Damn you.

I read that point in the article and it really sounds like the Hero Engine could provide for some interesting combat in TOR.

I wonder how often in PvP we'll replay that scene in Anakin and Obi-wan's duel when they force push each other into walls.
I thought elements like that would fit in perfectly with the pulp-story foundation that Star Wars was built upon. Those old pulp novels and movie serials had lots of innuendo in them. I mean green, bug-eyed Martians in flying saucers always kidnapping the Earth women in those stories but nobody would ever actually say why they were doing it lol

But in this case Flesh Raiders probably just sounds more ominous than Cannibal Aliens. I wouldn't be surprised if see some pulp-style innuendo though.

Awesome!

Hype moved from 6.5 to 8 now sounds pretty damn sweet the options you have
