Having access to purchasing those set pieces is nice but I am not sure how much they actually provide for “new” adjustments/changes that were not already present in the game before the DLC.

Looking at the set armor pieces you can now buy at the fleet I see where a few of those changes may have been partially relocated to.

I did notice that along with the discipline utilities being changed to 3 tiers of 8 utilities each some of those utility choices have been changed/pruned. The new abilities granted to each class are interesting, but I didn’t find them overly game changing or particularly engaging. I levelled up to max just by working my way through the story. The level cap has been increased from 70 to 75. That being said this DLC gets the job done, by the end of the storyline you are realigned with one of the two factions and your choices will determine how tightly allied you are too said faction.įor those of you like me, who enjoy more grand storylines in Star Wars, there is some rather interesting developments towards the end of the DLC along with the return of old companions. There was so much potential during the story to build up suspense and really create interesting moments for a returning character or tell part of the backstory… but instead it felt like going through a list of items/events that needed to be included for the purposes of future content. Overall, I did enjoy the story, but I found that certain climatic points just lacked the punch they should have had. New characters that are introduced evoked different reactions in me depending on the character I was playing at the time. Voice acting ranges from decent to top notch, as per usual for SWTOR.

The story will take you across the two new planets of Onderon & Mek-sha, both are very different very different in appearance and feel. If you are looking for a grand villain to appear early on for you to eventually defeat, you will not find on here. You are warned of this before accepting the new DLC quest.

One thing you should keep in mind when starting the storyline for this DLC is that if you have anything not previously completed for story it will set you to having made the default choices. Going into the Onslaught DLC it may be best to think of this as still part of a bridging storyline between the last two main expansions and what is next.
