must admit i was interested to hear about smuggler, if only because i've recently created one and been working my way through the levels, the legacy quest you'll be glad to hear, is just as boring as it ever was!
personally i would like to see a third faction, the underworld faction, take on more reality, it doesnt make sense that the only factions you can belong to, are imp or rebel, smugglers and i think bounty hunters can increase their underworld status, which sort of makes sense, as bounty hunters are little more than assassins anyway, (nil mortem sine lucre!) and the underworld/organised crime, are hardly neutral, as both the imps and the rebels, probably mostly the imps due to black market etc, would be viewed as the most likely targets etc. Black market goods have to be obtained from somewhere - it just seems that game development, beyond tweaks and nerfs, seems nonexistant at the moment, and there is so much more that can be done with the game :/
