Heya,

How exactly do the dark side choices affect the Jedi Sage other than being eligible to use different looking armor and small cosmetic changes to the character?

Do for example the telekinesis spell change to force lightning at high enough dark side levels?

Good question I'd be interested to know as well - not too sure about flicking pebbles around forever, even though I can live with it for a while if build up dark side opens the possibility of new spell effects

I can't for 100% sure say one way or the other, but from what I've seen and haven't heard, no. Spell animations are unchanged.

I played a Dark Jedi in Beta and when I got above dark II the character started looking darker around the eyes and face. I didn't play long enough for an eye color change, but I did play a Sith warrior in a prior beta build long enough to get the yellow eyes.

There is dark side corruption for your facial features, which can be turned off. But no, your abilities will not change, so you can not have force lightning if you are a consular. That is what inquisitors are for.

Other players will always be able to see your corruption it seems Even if you turn it off.
