sith warrior

In the fourth and final entry of “Choose Your Side,” members of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ development team discuss each of the different classes in the game, putting them against each other to see who reigns supreme. This time around the Smuggler faces off against the Sith Warrior to see which class has the upper hand in a one-on-one engagement.

Take a look at this Sith Warrior as he develops and amasses power in The Old Republic™. While there are many paths to choose from, this example gives you a small glimpse of the armor and abilities a Sith Warrior can claim as he pursues his own destiny.

An unstoppable force of darkness, the Sith Warrior is entrusted with the task of destroying the Empire’s enemies and enforcing Sith domination across the galaxy. The Warrior channels the destructive emotions of fear, anger, and hatred to purge weakness from body and mind and become a being of pure, brutal efficiency.

Inspired by notorious characters such as Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, the Sith Inquisitor and Sith Warrior take different approaches to their rise to power. The Sith Warrior achieves victory through pure aggression and might while the Sith Inquisitor excels by cunning ambition and Force manipulation.

From storyline, to art style, to combat tactics, each design decision was made to support the dark side themes of power, domination, and destruction.
