Having trouble deciding what to play.

I have yet to here or see anything on that. I've seen levels 1-20 fully and never saw anything of the sorts.

There's a lot of game past level 20.

We can't say if it's true or not until launch because of the NDA.

Though we can say that originally, the Smuggler and BH could do missions for the opposite faction, but that was later changes. There was also going to be a third faction originally. Things change, and this may be one of them. Or it could be related to class quests. We just don't know.

If its true, more hype for me to play a BH. I'm liking the Jawa as a pet now more so...Big bazooka coming from him.

It does make sense though. And that is true we can't confirm or deny anything because of the NDA that is upon us.

Yeah I have a feeling Bounty Hunter will probably be the most popular alt. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was my favorite star wars game back in the day so I already knew this would be my main from the get go.

So much bad assery

OP, if you are more interested in looking at what role you want to play, someone on the official forums compiled a easy list of each ACs roles in the game. Personally, I found this list more helpful that swtor.com's AC page.

I was thinking trooper for main, but I just want a BH. The option to pick up bounties is just too cool.

Likely go Consular for my main because I am extremely indecisive and will want to be able to change roles.

I have been all Republic so far, but I think that I will just let the game decide for me. Play both sides and stick with the one I enjoy more.
