LucasArts today officially announced the "Sith Warrior" class for BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The dark Jedi marks the fourth announced class for the upcoming MMO, following the Bounty Hunter, Smuggler and Trooper.

"Though the lightsaber is the Warrior's primary method of attack, he also uses his dark command of the Force to paralyze, terrify, and kill," says LucasArts of the class. "Protected by heavy armor and his powers of intimidation, the Warrior wades into the thick of the fight and unleashes pure hatred and fury to eliminate all who would stand against him."

Man, those lightsaber hilts are purdy.

They need to replace that awful, horribly, totally WRONG-looking placeholder hilt ASAP.
Gawd. Horrible.

I'm not really on board with the art style, it's a bit too bright and cartoonish for my taste. It looks a lot like...well, a lot like SWG and not much more detailed. I guess I'll have to live with it. At least it's not as bad as Borderlands, that I WON'T live with.
