I just played through the chapter on my (light) Inquisitor.
I thought the bit with Valk was awkward. I'm all like "hey, let's talk" and he's all like "we're not sith! I'm not your servant!" and I'm all like "huh?"
I also liked questing without a companion. Though still wasn't as hard as the underlevelled questing of yesteryear, even to stay above the "survival gear" breakpoint...maybe I was just overgeared. Either way, it feels better to do proving yourself sort of objectives, well, by yourself.
The rest was ok. I'm glad I got to say that I'm still Sith in the end without being too much of a jerk.
It's a little weird that a chapter with so much to say about how many different ways there are to approach the force seems to be pushing one as the "right" one. We'll see where this goes, I guess.
