This post is not a game review of Star Wars: The Old Republic, nor is it a guide for people interested in playing or an instruction manual on what sorts of characters I require in exchange gift fic or whatever. Instead, it's my thoughts as a player on the class quest and world storylines, and some general roleplay notes I went for with my character.
I started playing SWTOR on the 17th of January; I finished the class story on the 6th of February after ~85 hours of active playtime. I started out as free to play because I wanted to test the thing out before committing any actual money to it, but I am subscribed now. Free to play character creation gives access to only three species: human, cyborg, and Zabrak. I of course picked Zabrak, because really, what's the point of playing as a Sith if you don't look like Darth Maul's grandmother? Some time despairing over the horn and hair options of the character creator later, Midwan Asp:

Also pictured: Talos Drellik, one of the Sithquisitor companions.
( here are my thoughts on my OC and reactions to stuff )
