notanotheralex replied to your post “i think the reason why i find the jedi knight story so underwhelming...”
I liked the Knight story a lot, but because I a. went in with no spoilers, b. had a DS Knight and c. the DS Knight has tons of little flavor text hinting at your choices and that you've fallen, more so than any other class story, probably except Warrior. Consular was also better than most people make it sound like it is. I personally absolutely found smuggler a chore... it was so slow-paced and predictable and exactly what you'd expect from smuggler.
Yeahh i can imagine it’d be a lot more exciting if most of the story wasn’t spoiled for me, but on the other hand I still find it just... so predictable, you know? I don’t mind having a base outline for endings because of course we’re going to beat the Bad Guy and save the day and etc etc, we are heroes in every story after all, but still, knight just doesn’t work out for me, even though i keep making dark side choices according to how my impulsive and vindictive knight would act.
I got one flavour text regarding her choices, on Quesh when Scourge comments on her being “touched by darkness”, which i really loved, but then i talked to my friend who has an almost pure light sided knight and told me she got the same talk, so I’m... a bit disappointed after that.
I personally also like smuggler, but i gotta be in the mood to play her. It really is a fairly predictable story, and to be quite honest I cannot imagine my smuggler going through KotFE and KotET stuff because it wouldn’t fit at all, but I really enjoy the voice acting, the cheesy stuff, and the fact that i can be a jerkass throughout the whole story and still be a “good guy” (using that term loosely)
i haven’t finished either classes yet, back in the day i went pretty much Empire-only, but tbh that’s for the best because i get to appreciate these classes now, and i’m having a lot of fun... even when i’m mad as hell because every choice seems dumb af
