The Sith class has been officially shown at E3 and in this interview the Sith Warrior has been revealed and discussed by James Ohlen and Emmanuel Lusinchi – BioWare.

Darth Vader was the primary inspiration for the this character class. The Sith Warrior is a heavily armored Force user driven by darkness and rage,  a frontline fighter who aggressively uses the Force to augment his destructive power. Depending on whether players develop their characters toward pure damage or toward a balanced offense and defense, a warrior can go toe-to-toe against the strongest enemy in the room or take apart a whole mob of lesser foes. The Sith Warrior’s attacks are all about uncontrollable rage and the overwhelming use of force.

Impale, a gratuitously brutal and generally downright lethal attack, is a good example of the Sith Warrior’s powers. The ability is what we call a “spender.” The character can use it only once he has whipped himself into a fine rage, typically in the middle of a fight. Since such devastating power would be wasted on an already-wounded enemy, the smart warrior prefers to unleash it on a fresh attacker for, under the right circumstances, an instant kill.

Players who enjoy being in front of the fight and deflecting enemy attacks will enjoy the Sith Warrior, as well as those who prefer dishing out loads of damage.
