Jake Neri Discusses New Classes

Speaking to SW:TOR blog DarthHater, Jake Neri has given some of his insight into what the inspirations were for the final two classes for The Old Republic: the Jedi Consular and Sith Inquisitor.

We talked a lot today about being able to customize your classes in a number of different directions. When you think of Sith Inquisitor, you’re thinking about how we’re talking about him today in the Emperor Palpatine mold, the force lightning using guy. But as time goes on, we will show you other ways to customize that class that will give you a different gameplay style. We thought as core classes the Consular and the Inquisitor made the most sense. We thought they balanced well against the other two. You can think of the Jedi Knight and the Sith Warrior as more of a melee-style Jedi, and the other two maybe more of the ranged-style Jedi. I think it made a lot of sense.

Makes sense to us, but what do you think?
