Legacy of the Sith will introduce new 'Combat Styles', which will mean Class Story can be separated from gameplay.

How does that work in practice? Well, it means you can mix and match your setup. Here's what Bioware says:

This frees up Advanced Class options as characters can choose any Advanced Class within the Tech or Force playstyle! Play as a Trooper wielding a Sniper Rifle, or a Sith Inquisitor with a lightsaber in each hand, or even secretly use Dark Side powers while posing as a member of the Jedi Order. Loadouts will increase your ability to customize, allowing you to swap between playstyles and gear with a click.

The developer is also promising to take a "deeper look at improving the overall player experience for both newcomers and veterans alike", including a new character creation setup.

"The new season will also come with a host of quality-of-life improvements, thanks to player feedback from our inaugural season in Game Update 6.3."
