Consular vs Knight storyline debate (No/Minimal spoilers)

[A_Pepperoni_Lass]

Trying to decide which to go with!

I played Knight about 10 years, and only got a little into consular a few years back!

I really am interested in the Consular as a more personal story, that’s less chosen one style!
It almost sounds like an Ahsoka in Rebels style story, more force centric, and focusing on the dichotomy of good and evil.. but I know a lot of people say they don’t like it!

And maybe the knight is really really good and I just don’t remember it as well!

I’m also looking for a character to take into the expansions I’ve never done

The Consular story is probably the worst of all the story lines in this game so run it at your own risk, For me 100% love the Knights story over them all so...

Both the consular and jedi knight have the same choosen one aspect.

Only difference is scenario. In consular you are pretty much THE healer and THE diplomat.
In knight you are THE jedi to send when fighting is needed because no one else bothers to do it or is simply to weak.

Why is it the worst though?
I’ve seen people who think it’s awful, and people who very strongly prefer it to the Knight story!

The Knight's just a piss poor brawn, no brains Jedi. A sad excuse for a Jedi anyway.

Consular meanwhile is the true Jedi experience. All brains, diplomatic, helpful, only engages in combat when absolutely necessary type.

The Jedi Knight story is about fighting Sith.
The Jedi Consular story is about uniting the Republic (well, at least Chapter 2 & 3).

I think the Jedi Consular story connects with the planet stories better than the Jedi Knight story, but not everyone likes being a healer and diplomat.

Chapter 2 and 3 could've fooled me.

Jedi Knight is more standard SW story, if you're looking to be SWTOR's Luke Skywalker that's a good one to go with. But Consular I feel is more akin to a Yoda figure, you gotta answer questions like what is the role of a Jedi and its relationship with the Force. Personally I prefer the latter though I understand its not going to be an origin story that pleases everyone.
