Well, it isn't updated on the main Old Republic page, but Gamespot posted an article discussing 2 new classes they apparently had a chance to demo recently: The Sith Inquisitor and the Jedi Consular.

Quote:


According to creative director James Ohlen, the inquisitor is inspired by Senator Palpatine and Darth Maul, and he claims the class is "lightly armoured, acrobatic, and uses lots of lightning abilities and telekinetics." While this combination of skills might sound strange, given that Palpatine and Maul are quite different in their fighting styles, each class has the ability to branch into two separate subclasses once you reach a certain level. In the inquisitor's case, you can focus on lightning-based abilities and become a support character, or, if you prefer melee combat, you can have a character who focuses on acrobatics, speed, and dual-wielding lightsabers. While our demo was limited to the Sith inquisitor class, Ohlen told us about the Jedi consular and how it differs from the previously announced Jedi knight. "The Jedi consular is more based in telekinetics," he said. "He stays a little bit back [in battle], although he can also engage with his lightsaber. He can use telekinetics to throw his enemies around, lift them up into the air, and slam them down to the ground."

Looks pretty cool, but I think I'll be playing as an Imperial Agent or Trooper from what I've seen so far. There's gonna be sooooo many Sith and Jedi runnning around when this game releases.

EDIT: crap, looks like i posted in the software section instead of video games... I'm a noob. gonna report and hopefully get it moved, sorry about that

Yep you are a bit late though, the class forums for these two have been open for 2 weeks on the website forums. They just haven't released the holonet info for them yet.
yup. If any of you guys want to keep up w/ this game there are 2 sites i've found that have good podcasts that analyze news & leaks.

i'm leaning towards bounty hunter right now just because of all the gadgets.
definitely going to play an inquisitor, i would never play a jedi the power of the dark side is all too tempting.(i would rather be a dark jedi though instead of a sith)

So I guess this is the medic/healer.....
Has Bioware said anything at all about crafting?
That jedi chick standing in front of Iron Forge?
