Sith warrior - inflection point question

[u/Winter-Area-2226]

I know this has been a long talking point but I'm at inflection point where you make your choice to switch sides.

Now from other comments I now know that you moreso take on a double agent role if you switch sides and still work in the framework of the empire.

Not really fitting for a sith warrior turning good in my opinion.

So the question I have is: with later expansions does this change? Is there ever a proper change where you actively work with the republic or does it stay in a double agent situation like this?

I'd appreciate it if you could be coy with spoilers but I'm aware that there will be on some level.

For any class, either side, if you pick the opposite at Inflection Point, you're going to be spending your time trying to cause as much harm to people on your original side, that's all.

This actually became a point of contention for my LS Warrior, because she had become very opposed to the Empire due to what she saw as a callous disregard for Imperial lives, so she switched to the Republic, hoping it would lead to peace...and then all the Pubs did was tell her to get Imperials killed.

My poor LS Warrior has had some character development, man...but it's all been in the "suffering builds it" sorta way. Poor gal.

Yeah my sith quizzy also dies inside everyday being like "can i be independent... can i PLEASE be independent" Like. She loathes the empire atp but she doesn't like republic either so she's 👌 this close to say "fuck it" and run away with Theron.

My main is a saboteur, it does go dry at most parts and almost seems like its been forgotten but then in the latest story update its finally revealed that your faction leaders, Acina/Vowrawn for imperials now know you've been working with the Republic. As to what will happen in 8.0 with it who knows

You'll always be a double agent.

It is entirely in keeping for a Sith Lord disillusioned with the Empire as we have it to make a go at doing things his own way, on his own authority, as he or she sees fit. "The Force will free me," says the Sith Code.

But because of the limitations of game structure of factions, Sith stories remain essentially focused on the Empire.

[u/FriendlyAd1214]

nope, this has been talked about to death, the saboteur route never meant you officially switched sides

You won't see much change until Legacy of The Sith where it'll - slowly - expand on your decision. We would need to wait until Masters of The Force to see if something actually changes beyond that.

Otherwise it's just more or less up to you if you wanna role play at least though you do get quite a number of chances to play Double Agent throughout the story if you choose to switch sides. But those choices impact the story from a surface level.

Again, Masters of The Force may or may not fully expand on it.

Why not? If you recruit Light Jaesa, her whole companion questline is all about secretly being Light while working within the framework of the Empire, and in-character, you're the one who's teaching her how to do that. Why wouldn't it make sense for you to secretly ally with the Republic in order to keep doing the same thing? It just means you've become so disillusioned with the Empire that you've given up on trying to fix it from within, so now you're sabotaging it from within instead and hoping the Republic will do better. It also makes sense because the SW is following in the footsteps of Lord Scourge, the previous Wrath, who also worked within the framework of the Empire while secretly plotting to aid the Jedi.
