When you level up in TOR is it like leveling up in KOTOR? Can you choose your powers and feats and stuff?
yup, sort of. Depending on which class and specialization you choose depends on what skill trees you have, and then as you get a level you get a point to spend on the skill tree. This gives you various powers and abilities.
I've now got a Sith Sorcerer on the Harbringer, Ghyl. level uhhhh 38 I think now, just finished chapter 2 story. I'm uh, REALLY digging the sith storyline for my guy. Khem Val calling me "little sith" makes me grin
