Choosing a class in Star Wars: The Old Republic can be intimidating – there’s a lot of factors that go into making your choice, and this guide will go over them all in a simple and easy to read way for players who have never played the game before! Your choices when you create your character will affect your story, what planet you start on, how you fight in combat, and which weapons you can wield.<\/p>\n

Choosing an Origin Story<\/h2>\n

There are eight unique character stories you can choose to play in SWTOR – these are officially called Origin Stories, and are often known as Class stories. Most new players take a look at these eight options, and choose a story that appeals to their interests. For example, a player who likes Darth Vader might want to join the Empire as a Sith Warrior. A player who likes underworld elements and wise-cracking jokes might try the Smuggler. Many players also make it a goal to eventually play all eight, as they are often considered the best stories in the game. Your Origin Story is a permanent choice when you create your character.<\/p>\n
