ostatnipawian Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Welcome, Is there any point in playing a Jedi or a Sith on opposite sides of the force? I've always wanted to play as a Dark / Gray Jedi, but I have a lot of contraindications. Is this experience not a problem in the future? Is it harder to find equipment? Is there still a division into Light and Dark? I came back after many years, hence I would like to know if such antics have the right to exist. Every tip is valuable to me. Thank you!

turbomagnus Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Yes, you can still play as a Dark Jedi or Light Sith, you just have to set the slider (in the bottom right corner, I believe) to your chosen alignement and make appropriate choices. Equipment isn't alignment-locked anymore, so as long as your class can equip it, you can use it. The overall storyline remains the same, but some NPC interactions and missions differ based on your alignment. A Light Jedi Knight on Taris is sent to protect a group of settlers while a Dark Jedi Knight instead gets a mission to reclaim artifacts of a Jedi splinter group from smugglers, for an example And, if that's your thing, it makes it easier to romance certain characters (a Dark Jedi Knight and Lord Scourge or a Light Sith Inquisitor and Ashara, for examples). Of note as well is the recent announcement regarding the seperation of Classes and Advanced Classes instead into 'Origins' and 'Play Styles' coming later in the year; Light Sith and Dark Jedi (among other options) will no longer be purely a role-playing matter with Jedi being able to use the traditionally Sith play styles as they fall into the Dark Side and Sith having access to Jedi abilities when they follow the Light. Want your Dark Jedi to throw Force Lighting around instead of being a 'Focus Guardian'? That time will soon be upon us...

SteveTheCynic Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The slider that turbomagnus mentioned is this thing (here, set to Dark): https://i.imgur.com/aMQdyc6.jpg It might be hidden partially or completely under the minimap, but you can move it somewhere more useful with the Interface Editor.

Shayddow Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If you want to play as "gray" you have to keep switching the Dark/Light thing tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some old weapons and armor that require Dark V or Light V, but none of the newer stuff does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
