light/dark side points and diplomacy

so i know that you can get dark/light side points from diplomacy which seems awesome. Of course, if you do, you have one less crew skill to choose. Anyone have any idea how valuable it will be to have that? Will questing give me all the dark/light opportunities I could ask for? I read somewhere that diplomacy is more an issue if you will be mainly pvp-ing to level and not doing quests.

Also some gear has light or dark side requirements

I know you can get to lvl 2 dark side by the time your lvl 15 and that was just from all the quests I did. Of course this was in beta so not sure how it will pan out in the live servers.

Just remember if you do go down the dark path your character will change physically. I went from a sun tanned blue eyed jedi knight to having grayish white skin with red eyes. I also started to get the facial marks similar to the mob you fight at the end in Esseles.

You can turn this option off in preferences, so if you want to look pure to lure people in, you can do so. ;)

I found that option out on Sunday night right before the beta ended. I like the look as it was different, I will do the same when I create my jedi knight on the live server.
