Who will your Outlander be?

As for losing some companions: will you really be sad to see Skadge go? I won't. It's most likely the least popular companions that are getting the axe.

As to those saying we'll only get one outlander story: Edit* - Somebody mentioned this already I see, but it is good to mention again
"YOUR PERSONAL SAGA
Play one of eight class stories enhanced to offer a deeper, more accessible experience purely focused on immersing you in a personal Star Wars story."

I'm pretty sure they expanded upon this in one of the later interviews, and it's referring to the new "streamlined" 1-50 content. In other words, some form of permanent 12x boost (probably in a slightly different form than what we have now, for example, they also talked about "re-purposing" old quest content.)

Believe me, I do hope I'm wrong. But I'm not expecting new class stories. I think the uniqueness of our Outlander stories is going to come from new companion content, not the main storyline itself.

Oh, oops. Is that the Neutral side one? I think Imperius is Light

Agreed, not sure why it can only be one. All of them. As for which I will play first it that's what was been asked, then my Jedi Shadow.

Yes.

Anyway, to OP's question:

All of them. I don't play every character the same every time, so I want to see the full spectrum of all possible results.

That being said, I do plan on waiting to find a recruiting guide for my companions so I don't accidentally wind up killing the character's LI. I have many alts to level up along the way, so...

I expect that the story would be very similar at its core for all classes, but we’ll get frequent new bits to see as the year goes on.

Based on that, I am inclined to create a new Level 60 character without the baggage, a Male Togruta Shadow. Last AC to try for me, if Zenith is available, I'll get him, and if the story saddles Zen with a wife and 4 kids, well, it will be easier to take. This character then will proceed to keep up with the story installments as it unfolds.

The rest of my alts in the ‘old’ portion of the game will keep the ‘stuff’ and level via dailies/PvP, so I don’t have to play the endless catch-up game on all the alts.

This GUY Has Brains, Listen to him, he has the Biggest point.

I wish I was that Smart. Don't know if i'll even be here when KOTFE hits.

Wasting Time on so Many Alts has all been for Not, from what has been said, And since Bioware has NOT denied the Absurdidness of a Character only being able to go in 1 direction in the End of all these Stories. Lends Credence to those allegations that can only 2 Final different storyline for All Classes.

I reckon it'll be fun. I'll probably fraps every moment of it for my own personal...enjoyment. But yeah, Liatrix has got quite a death list building in her mind lol. Might have to try to lure her calm with cookies...or a handsome man!

Thanks, I do try.

I won't deny I would have loved to see more Class story in SoR, because I'm all about the class stories. I love them like air. The way I see the class story 'flavouring' we got in SoR, is that it's a little victory for those who wanted more class story. Considering that at the very start, they said, there will be no more ever, and to forget about it...and now that there is even a little bit, I like to think that they're trying to co-operate with those who want more class story.

That effort goes a long way with me, nothing irritates me more than people saying no to what I want (it's probably an only child thing ;D) But yeah, I feel some hope, that at least we've been heard and they've tried, and who knows in the future, there could even be more.

I imagine you're not wrong about what might happen after the new update is released...no matter how good something is, there is always someone who feels cheated or maligned in some way. And certainly, it doesn't hurt to make the powers that be, aware, that more class story is welcome.

They took it away partly because of the "no really, don't touch this" factor that you can't load an earlier save on. They mostly took it away because Sith Warriors in beta executed Quinn - which could be downright crippling if you were a Marauder.
