PCGamer.com yesterday published an article in which Owen Hill (reporter for PCG) had a brief chance to chat to James Ohlen (Game Director @ Bioware for SWTOR):



When questioned about the middle ground - the grey area more suited for the Shadow Knights, Jame's responded:




So, ladies and gents, if your thinking of grinding out light/darkside points to get better gear before you hit max level, perhaps wait and see if this patch is released before you max out. I know I'll certainly grind my way into gray when the time arises.

SWTOR oracles expect it'll be part of "Act 2" - the next installment in SWTOR that'll no doubt bring in new races, warzones, quests, more levels and of course, that all important story line continuation. I for one, can't wait.

Interesting, i cant believe i have not seen this before!

To be honest a clas like Mercenary or Bounty Hunter and 'Force Mystic' would have been ideal for a neutral faction. I would rather have had an Imperial Trooper as an Imp class rather than BH.

Probably the best we'll ever hope for with a neutral faction is similar to this newest WoW expansion - you play up until a certain point "neutrally" then you get to pick which side you want to go to at the end. Since WoW is separated by race, it was a race - this could easily move into a class that gets to pick Imperial/Republic at a certain point in their class quest, though. (Probably level 10...)
