STAR WARS: The Old Republic is an adventure dedicated to the confrontation between the two most influential space factions - the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. The user is offered to choose one of these two sides in order to go on a journey through remote high-tech worlds. The events of this game take place several millennia before the beginning of the storyline, often described in works from this in-game universe. Initially, you have to create a protagonist, choosing his race and specialization, and then start pumping him and performing all sorts of tasks.In Star Wars: The Old Republic there are 8 classes - 4 available for each side:
- Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Consular - can be armed with two-handed lightsabers, or rely on force abilities. Like other opposite options, they are almost completely similar to each other. Among the differences are good and evil abilities, as well as, accordingly, the faction.
- Sith Warrior and Jedi Knight - are equipped with one or two lightsabers, and also own some spells. Able to easily deal with single targets, but at the same time are forced to get close to the target.
- Bounty Hunter and Stormtrooper - the most basic option, using advanced laser weapons, providing support to other participants in the action.
- Imperial Agent and Smuggler - are aimed at performing sabotage work, or any other special operations. Can act as snipers.
Thanks to the variety of classes (each of which has subclasses), as well as races and other character parameters, the player is able to create a unique fighter. Story missions issued by secondary characters are available for completion. Some heroes will treat different users differently - this depends on which path they have chosen. Dozens of locations are provided, located on separate planets, between which it is proposed to move on starships. There is a relationship system and romantic relationships with other heroes.
