Evil is the only way to play Consular and Trooper (unless you're the hoo-ra type). It just adds a lot more depth to the story and doesn't seem as shallow. Sorc storyline is the most boring out of all of them. It has a moment or two but they really fucked up the transition from Chapter One to Chapter Two and in the context of the Galactic Civil War the overall story has exactly zero impact.

This kinda cross faction story would've been awesome for several story lines, but probably way too expensive. Plus there's no real grey option. I finished the Bounty Hunter over the weekend, and
I chose to kill most everyone. Jedi, Sith, republic, imperial. I spared the chancellor because he at least apologized, but Darth Tormen got a bullet to the head for being a dick to the end. And after all this I go to Makeb and they're all "You're the savior of the Sith empire" and my character all of a sudden has a vested interest in the empire winning. Not. I know they just used a generic storyline for Makeb like they'll probably use a generic storyline for future expansions, I just hope the next one sucks less. I'm glad it only takes an hour or two to skip through Makeb because depending on how a play through goes the Makeb story comes across as pants on head stupid.

I really am torn about resubbing for a bit to come back and check out the stories. At one point I figured I'd come back off and on and knock out a class or two that I hadn't seen yet, then maybe play a couple the other way (Dark side v. Light side) that I thought might be interesting. Think I will at some point resub and check out some of the Dark Side pub classes.

Pocket tip for guys making alts.
Since it's an alt and you're picking up whatever crew skills as filler probably, make sure to pick Diplomacy as one of them. That way, you can roll all the dark/light side choices you want as far as your conscience goes for the story, and then doing the crew skills you can wipe away what good/bad rep you've earned over time.
It makes it really easy if you're going all dark but find a light choice you'd rather have instead or vice-versa, without severely screwing things up while leveling.
I've picked Slicing, TH and Diplomacy for every alt I've rolled during this XP event since I had everything else already a few times. Two give companion gifts as well so you can ramp up extra XP just by feeding them that stuff when you trigger the companion talks/missions, and slicing sells those other crewskills missions with which you can buy gear to keep your own alts up.

Are you referring to crew affection or lightside / darkside points? For crew affection I've just been doingthisto get them to 6000 right after I get them, then finishing them off with the rank 5 companion gifts I farm up from underworld trading on my first character to get them to 10k after the main story is done. This gets me all their dialogues and the +10 pres per character. I've used the same companion 90% of the time on my xp bonus characters to make gearing easier. Doc for the Jedi then Mako for the BH. Probably just roll with the lizard on the sage.
I wouldn't be surprised that the buff comes back in form of a cartel purchase, but as of now it's temporary until the expansion launches I believe.

I think it will make it into the game, they mentioned they are looking at it one idea they are floating around is 3x exp for every class buff you have. Aside from the fast leveling it really lets you experience they story seamlessly and I found I actually enjoyed the story, the JK story was actually good
