I cannot wait for Skadge to come back as a companion. I will put every last one of my toons all the way through KotFE just so I can kill him over and over and over again. My merc was my 1st tool and I have wanted to be rid of Skadge since my first run through Belsavis.

I've played the Rishi class quests for every class except the Trooper so far, but the Knight's is definitely my favorite. My knight found it very cathartic (though I imagine anyone playing DS would dislike it). I also really enjoyed the agent's, and think there needed to be more followup to the warrior's.

Everytime I see the title, "The Hero of Tython," something like this goes through my head: (SPOILERS for Jedi Knight through the end of Chapter 1) (Knight)! The Jedi called (Knight)! He stopped Darth Angrel and he stopped Bengel Morr. Stood up to the Sith and he gave him what for. Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain, The Hero of Tython, the Jedi called (Knight)! Now (Knight) saw the Flesh Raiders fightin'. He saw the Pilgrim’s distress. And he saw the Jedi were takin', Force blasts from the Flesh Raider’s camps. So he said, "You can't do that to my people!" "You can't kidnap Orgus Din like that." (Knight) grabbed all his gear, His vibrosword reared, Stopped all the Flesh Raider’s attacks. He stopped Darth Angral and he stopped Bengel Morr. Stood up to the Sith and he gave him what for. Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain, The Hero of Tython, the Jedi called (Knight)! But that wasn’t it for our hero, Not the last time he saved the Jedi. The Jedi called (Knight), He boarded the ship, The Desolator that hung in our sky. He felled the evil Darth Angrel. Stopped the Emperor’s avatar. The Jedi called (Knight), He turned round his ship, And headed out for the stars. Here we go! He stopped Darth Angral and he stopped Bengel Morr. Stood up to the Sith and he gave him what for. Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain, The Hero of Tython, the Jedi called (Knight)!

Each of my characters has a unique backstory, but I think the most interesting is that of one of my alts, Aphanes, a Female Sith Pureblood Agent. Aphanes was raised by Sith parents on Dromund Kaas, but unlike most Sith Purebloods (including her parents), she was not force sensitive. Because of this, her parents abused her, trying to invoke enough fear and anger into her to make force powers manifest, but nothing worked. Her parents even encouraged her younger sister (who was quite proficient with the force) to torture her.Finally at age 12, after a particularly brutal beating due to Aphanes not being accepted into the Sith Academy, Aphanes ran away. She moved into the cave by the waterfall (where the republic troops are in-game) and taught herself to hunt and to survive, all the while, nursing her hatred of her family and the Sith in general. 3 years later, on the eve of when her sister would be shipped off to the academy, Aphanes slipped back into the city, broke into her parents home, and poisoned all the food and liquids with venom from a plant she had found in the jungle. Then she returned to the jungle, always keeping on the move so that no one investigating her family's deaths would find her. However, she wasn't quite good enough, and two years later, she was found by an intelligence agent, However, instead of incarcerating or executing her, the agent was so impressed by her survival skills and her ability to get away with killing three Sith, that he offered her a job. She was taken to Intelligence and trained as an agent. After this, we get to the actual game play, which I count as being part of her story.

The emperor didn't die. He is still out there, but is too weak to come back. However, all that will change when his most loyal servant goes and finds him and helps restore him to full health. He will then regather his his forces around himself and make one more war against the galaxy. The knight will be then travel around the galaxy destroying the six sith artifacts binding the emperor to life before fighting the emperor a third time. However, he will learn that part of the emperor now resides within him and he will sacrifice himself to finally bring an end to the emperor's reign.

Knight – Smuggler – Trooper – Consular – Bounty Hunter – Agent – Warrior – Inquisitor –

I have only played male characters so far, but I have watched a few cut scenes with females just to see how they play out. Based on the feel of the story and the romance options, this is what I come up with: Knight: Male. He and Kira definitely click more. Smuggler: Male. There are obvious parallels to Han Solo, including the whole ending up with a princess thing. Also, from what I've seen of the female, I doubt she would end up with someone as clingy as Corso. Corso is fine as a companion for the male, they can get along and be friends and comrades, but as a female I would get tired of him really quick. Trooper: My gut say female. Not sure why. Consular: I think either way, but I would guess that whatever ends up being canon will have an even gender split, so I am going with female Hunter: Male. While I could imagine the female with Torian, the male and Mako have an obvious connection. Warrior: Female. I'm not sure why, again this is just my gut reaction. I'm not entire sure about the other two, but since I have already made the last two imps the opposite gender of their pub counterparts, I'm going to go ahead with Male inquisitor and female agent.
