Unfortunately, Legacy of the Sith’s brevity sabotages its story potential and prevents Malgus from developing into a more unique character. Like Valkorian from Knights of the Eternal Empire, Darth Malgus disagrees with the Jedi and Sith’s ideologies and seeks to create his own universal order. However, the narrative quickly reorients itself to confront Darth Malgus, a Sith villain that appeared in previous SWTOR Flashpoints and missions. The story begins on Manaan, with each faction leading a military operation to defend or conquer the aquatic planet to control its medical production. Unlike other expansions from Star Wars: The Old Republic, Legacy of the Sith explores a more traditional Star Wars story by pitting its protagonists (player characters) against a renegade Sith lord. The final product also suffers from lingering bugs and glitches that hamper overall enjoyment and undermine its narrative potential for both Republic and Imperial players. Despite consistent advertisement from BioWare, the latest addition to the Star Wars MMORPG is unimpressive and sabotages some of the game’s greatest strengths. Star Wars: The Old Republic, developed by BioWare and published by EA, recently released its tenth-anniversary expansion: Legacy of the Sith.
