A personal favourite was the Sith Inquisitor getting their seat on the Sith Council back, which was lost during the events of Fallen Empire. We've seen a few of these callbacks before. But that said, we're always looking for chances to kind of call out your class versus someone else's, or your background versus someone else's, in any of the stories we do.' It's literally eight times the work, right? Not quite eight times the voiceover, but it is a lot. 'That's just so many different things to keep track of, and to produce. 'I think it's unlikely that we would ever go in a direction where now it's eight completely separate storylines for several years,' says Boyd. 'You were just a baby Sith all those years ago, and now look at you.' Charles Boyd, BioWare Austin Throwing class stories back into the mix would bump that up to eight. Most of them have had two distinct paths-Empire and Republic-with the exception of the Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne expansions, which had a single storyline with lots of smaller branches. Tilotny Throws a Shape Crosscurrent Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi The Golden Age of the Sith Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi The Fall of the Sith Empire Lost Tribe of the Sith: Precipice Lost. That's asking a lot for an expansion, of course. The Old Republic Era, also referred to as the Sith era, takes place from 25,053 BBY (the founding of the Republic), until 1000 BBY (the Seventh Battle of Ruusan and the end of the New Sith Wars). I'll inevitably be making some more alts, but what I really want is more class stories. It came very close to BioWare's original goal of making its MMO Knights of the Old Republic 3, 4, 5 and so on. When the class stories ended, BioWare struggled to get back the magic, even when it returned to its roots and reintroduced Revan, but then came the transformative Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, with missions and companions strongly evocative of singleplayer RPGs. At launch, the highlight was the class stories, giving players eight unique adventures, each with a liberal dose of agency thanks to an abundance of dialogue choices.

More than any other MMO, SWTOR has been a great source of scripted tales. It's such a pastiche of different genres and different types of characters and stories that I think you have a lot of opportunities, despite it all needing to be Star Wars.' Where SWTOR goes from here It can be a spy, it can be a smuggler-it supports all different types of stories, all different types of storytelling. 'It can be a grand space opera, good versus evil thing, but it can also be a lone bounty hunter wandering around just doing jobs. 'Star Wars is one of the most broad IPs,' says Boyd.
