Final two Star Wars: The Old Republic classes revealed

by Griffin McElroy on Nov 24th 2009 9:45AM

Though BioWare has tried to keep the flow information relating to its upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic to a slow trickle, the latest issue of PC Games Germany recently beat the studio to a pretty big punch, revealing the game's final two character classes. The classes are the Jedi Consular and the Sith Inquisitor -- two more Force-wielding classes which focus less on lightsaber combat and more on long-range attacks and support abilities.

These two join the six other previously announced classes for the game: Trooper, Imperial Agent, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior. Tragically, it seems the Fashion Designer class from Star Wars Galaxies won't make a reappearance in Old Republic. As a result, we expect everyone's characters to be dressed in the drabbest of duds.

I don't know why BioWare didn't include the Jedi Sentinel, considering they CREATED the bloody class.

they need something of the expansion pack.

Probably because the Sentinals were the bitches of the KOTOR universe. They were good at nothing, yet sucked at everything. Maybe im a bit bias though since in my 8 playthroughs of KOTOR 1, ive only ever been a Consular

Sentinels kicked ass. Who wants to be a wimpy Consular?

Consulars could fry your ass with Force lightning, beyatch

Beat a Dark Lord?

You must be joking...

If Sidious could get fried then even you can

How old was that old fart?

I am better than he ever dreamed of being...

Darth Tyranus could whoop your ass. (I personally think he was a better fighter than Sidious and only lost against Anakin because he was weakened)

You don't know that there is no Sentinel class. It could still be apart of the regular Jedi class with Guardian. I think that Consular is just so unique that it deserved it's own class. Also, because the Republic and Sith need the same class types.

Wait, so are you telling me I can't play as a Gungan General like Jar Jar Binks?!

that's in the future, old republic hasn't met that planet yet. (maybe)

OMG, Jar Jar Binks can time travel! Everyone in his fanclub knows that.

Anyone else think there are too many classes? I'd rather have fewer classes and more specializations...

Why not lots of classes AND lots of specializations?

I kinda agree with both of you, I wish there was only one Force user per side and then you can specialize that character as a Knight/Warrior, Consular/Inquisitor, and a Sentinel/ ?. Kinda like Talent Trees and then make the 4th class like a Sith Trooper (bounty hunters and agents ARE NOT storm troopers) and something unique for Republic.

That's my 2 cents.

No one expects the Sith Inquisition!

+1 - I Lol'ed

I doub't alot of other joystiq's will be able to though.

Cause we wouldn't get a Monte Python joke?

Who's Monthy Python?

[Silly walks out of joystiq]

This information is already confirmed by Bioware. Each class has 2 specializations, in which player need to decide one of which when the storyline progress.

My guess is, the Jedi Sentinel/Guardian shall be those two specializations of Jedi Knight. But whatever, I am relieved. I thought I was going to see 70% of population running around as a Jedi Knight. Now it will be only half of that figure, thanks to Jedi Consular.

There's only blue/green sabers, which means Consulars and Guardians.

Alright, so we have all the classes now! Time to find out what races we can be... How awesome would it be if we can play as a droid?? Not saying I would play as one but it would be totally unique!

Replying to myself but they would have class limitations, obviously they wouldn't be Jedi or Sith (well i am looking at you Grevious) but a Droid Commando or Droid Bounty Hunter is FAR from being far fetched in the Star Wars Universe.

Droid commandos and bounty hunters already exist.

Grevious was a commando, he just had a bunch of dead Jedi lightsabers that he used. He never once was alluded to being a sith or dark jedi.

Obviously there was 4-LOM in the Empire Strikes Back, who rocks out with Zuckus. Oh, and the more obvious IG-88 who became the sentient life form present in the second Death Star moments before it was destroyed.

Grievous also wasn't a droid. He was more of a cyborg. He was like the 6,000,000 dollar man.

Yeah I know, I totally agree, that is why I said its far from being far fetched. I was just saying I really hope they allow droid as a class because it already fits SO well with half of the classes in the game.

does anyone have an idea of what the pc spec are or have they been released yet .need to know so as to update my pc to handle it or not .

It's still a long way away from release. Wait till it launches THEN upgrade your pc...
