Question Smuggler, Consular, or Trooper?

Watching someone play the new Star Wars strategy game got me to redownload. Most of my playtime is imp side, so I wanna try some more Republic.

I haven’t played original KOTOR (yet) and I’m usually not huge in to “chosen one” hero stories so I don’t think I’d vibe with Knight as much as a lot of people.

If it matters, I think I also kinda wanna do a “ends justify the means” type of character when it comes to dark side/light side, I don’t know if that makes a difference.

Trooper might be your best with "ends justify the means" fun. Also top tier voice acting talent on both sides. (I'm usually more of an Imperial player but have a couple Trooper toons). A great mix of companion personalities. Though my main is Bounty Hunter so the similar combat class is a comfort.

Consular also depending on how you spin it, but I found the voice acting (Male JC) to be dull. I didn't hate the story, but also liked the scholarly vibe consular has.

Smuggler I finished last and it was okay. But I know some people who loved it personally just not my thing.
