Well, I was pleasantly surprised that they did after all release a new story chapter for the current expansion (after stating that they would not do something like that, and the story would only continue on the next expac) and even more pleased to see that it was free.
That said.......... is anyone else on the edge of their seats on that cliffhanger? or just me?
To summarize: We have a traitor among us that tried to kill us. There's a new menace brewing. Either the republic or the empire, depending on your choices will have betrayed you, and there are hints of something far darker coming soon
To be honest, the identity of the traitor has me really concerned. They BETTER not make it one of the love interests. Also, yay I guess, 2 more companions rejoined the story. Elora from the trooper, and Quinn from the warrior.
Ugh, it was a bitter pill for me to swallow though, because all I wanted to do with Quinn was kill him, but to do that, I'd have to side with the republic, and fuck that noise.
You do have to choose who to support in this struggle, and I have to admit it will be interesting to see what happens when you support the republic as a sith, or support the empire as a jedi.
Depending on your choice of support, either Jace Malcom, or Darth Acina will die. Not a biggie in the former's case, as he's just an officer, he's not the actual "leader" of the republic, but Darth Acina is the empress of the sith empire, who's gonna take her place if she dies?
Despite its short lenght, I really liked this chapter, specially because of all the potential plot threads that could unfold, and the potentially drastically different branches the story can take depending on who you side with.
What do you all think of it?
