I played the consular and I've played the bounty hunter, no they don't even play remotely the same. They don't have the same skills either, you can tell that just for starters, for example, the consular has a very small set of AOE abilities to start out with, yet, the Bounty Hunter for the most part has quite a few that deal AOE in the early levels. The mechanic for each class is much different too. With the bounty hunter you balance heat in a reverse endurance mechanic, on the consular you balance health with your force bar. Also all grey damage for the consular is done at close range, while many of the sages abilities are based around ranged combat. The bounty hunter starts with primarily all ranged combat.
It is definitely not a 1 for 1 match... but if you want to say that "yeah the inquisitor gets a knock back ability, and the Bounty hunter has one too so they are exactly the same" than you may have a point there. Its foolish, but you may be right.
Are you really in the beta and played to a high level your review seems fraught with things others are contradicting easily.
No, if you were in the game, you would know that the base class is trained seperately from the advanced class. You train both up as you level up, you continue to train the inquistor tree long after you pick your advanced class. It is the inquisitor tree itself that is identical to the bounty hunter tree.
You're making yourselves look like total idiots, GJ.
You're believing the assumptions of non beta testers who will say any old rubbish just to try to troll someone who posted the truth about their precious game?

Well, let's see...the Inquisitor class does have an advanced class that can stealth, though right? And you can't get that advanced class without rolling the primary Inquisitor class right?
Now, let's compare that small oversight to someone who claims the Inquisitor basic class is a mirror to the Bounty Hunter basic class. Let's also compare it with somone who claims that Light Side/Dark Side is a class choice, rather than an entirely separate system available to all classes and both factions.
Now, take those two examples, who sounds like they know less about the game?
Well now we know at least 1 person they wasted a full time beta slot on. I dont think anyone thought a bioware game would be great for power gamers which you clearly are. The Voice acting is pointless? ITS ONE OF THE GAMES BIGGEST SELLING POINTS. I'll stop short of calling you names since I dont want to get a ban.
Seriously why in the hell would you have wasted a beta slot like that? Had you bothered looking at the game AT ALL before signing up for beta you would have known the game would NOT be for you. You admitted you arent really into star wars. WHY BETA TEST A STARWARS GAME THEN. People can be such morons. If you arent interested in the IP or the game style stay the hell out of beta and let someone else in who actually gives 2 shits about the game and wants to help make it better.
I am not getting the game. Why? Because its been clear from almost the beggining (at least when the first good chunks of info started comming out) that this would be a typical themepark MMO with a top of the line story and voice acting. Because of that I didnt even sign up for beta.
PS. Sorry for all the caps. Its just people like this piss me off even if I dont give a crap about the game myself.
your lack of seeing the difference between a force user and non force user is mind boggling! for you to say an inquisitor and a bounty hunter are one in the same is well dense to say the least!
You are correct in the base class not receiving stealth. The base class only gets a few abilities to start with and as you progress the main abilities you gain from the "base" class have to do with mounts or upgrades to exisiting abilities.
Tank trees will be somewhat similar to other tank trees, even though the abilities are very different, but yes to some extent they will have the same effect, reduce damage, gain aggro, etc. I didn't play a tank on my consular, I was a healer so I can't speak to the exact workings of a consular tank, but I did tank on my BH and my SW. I did not find them particularly similar.
Whats the Bounty Hunter doing on any side. They should be stuck in the middle as a gun for hire. Well guess I'll have to wait and see when I get to play the beta . Still if they are stuck to one side then I call BS.
Well damnnnN!!
@eve aka ts/op
Save some breath, people believe what they want to believe. Including your review, there's enough warning out there for vet mmo player to get an idea of what to expect and what not. No point arguing with people who doesn't want to see things objectively.
What he posted wasn't objective, it was... not correct. The inquisitor and bounty hunter aren't the same class. Period. Even when speccing down the same advanced class. All healers are not the same even if they have heals. All tanks aren't the same because they can tank. And all DPS aren't the same simply because they do damage. He fails to see the difference between them.
Well, considering there are two factions in the game, they need to be in one of them. And without giving away spoilers, if you do the Bounty Hunter class quest line, you will see that they are not remotely like the Sith, nor on anyone's side. They are strictly mercenaries looking to get paid, and have no affiliation with any one group, and you can play them that way with the choices you make. In fact, when I played mine, I played him so that he had a very antagonistic relationship with the Sith, but dealt with them professionally because they paid well.
The BH is only part of a specific faction for the sake of balance. You can play them as neutral as you want, and the quest line supports this kind of play.
I take it you does have personal experience with playing Bounty Hunters and Sith Inquisitors or are you just here assuming things matching your personal prejudice?

xeno has it all correct here. i cant really say how ahrd it is to not call this guy names. if i said everything iw anted to say all you would see is * everywhere. and i would deffinately get an IP ban for life. this guys was a waste of a beta slot for sure!
The way their story works, they pretty much work in their own interest.
In a game with faction based PvP, they have to be on a side; that's the way it works.
Yes plx.
Really looking forward to you posting the BH stealth ability.

Feel free to post those skills if you want. And feel free to tell us how they are completely the same skills. I'd be interested, and very amused, to hear your thoughts.
Having read the OP, and the subsequent replies, I would have to warn you against trusting this guy's review as he has no clue about the game.
Anyone who thinks a Mercenary mirrors a Inquisitor (Assassin or Sorcerer AC) seems to be more a troll than an honest reviewer. At the very least, the OP is not knowledgable enough to give such a review.
The mirroring of classes take place cross faction. Assassin > Shadow, Sorcerer > Sage, Juggernaught > Guardian, Marauder > Sentinal, and so on and so on. These mirrors are in place for balance between the factions.
The voice acting is phenomenal, and hardly pointless. It is one of the factors of SWTOR that makes me not want to play any other MMO.
The "running around', as you put it is great actually. It forces you to explore and get to know your game world, like we used to need to do in our MMO's. It seems you want instant gratification, without having to earn anything. Where is the sense of accomplishment when everything is easy?
i'm going to have to agree. post away!
The BH stealth ability is called "Sprint." Run fast enough by a mob before they detect you and you'll have a head start and be able to cruise right by them. In fact...wait a minute....ALL CLASSES HAVE SPRINT! THEY ARE ALL MIRRORS! NOOOOOOO!
i have a proposal for all like minded individuals in this thread besides the OP lets simply report this guy for trolling and maybe we wont have to deal with extremely dense threads like this one
I never said the shadow was a mirror of bounty hunter. The inquisitor tree is a mirror of the bounty hunter, most of the skills are mirrors, only a few arn't. You're good at failing to understand how the advanced class system works in this game. When you pick shadow, you get a seperate skill tree from your inquisitor tree, and you still continue to train in both classes right up to 50.
