bad_fur_day1: Would be nice if in Star Wars games they would encourage non force users a bit more. Really, being a Jedi you would have no possessions, no credits and no starship. Unless you were supplied one from the Order of the Jedi I guess. With only one apprentice jedi maybe.
Smugglers on the other hand would have a starship, a crew, credits and trading runs to make more, they could also do many not so legal things throughout the galaxy that a jedi probably could not.
A light side or dark Jedi would be much different to play. A jedi would only be on missions for the order and doing good. A sith could do whatever they wanted, have star destroyers and lead stormtroopers and do missions for their master.
:D
Would a jedi be playing card games? More likely they would be like, meditating on the force or something. Unless playing cards was a part of completing their mission.
In the PT era sure a Jed would be given resources for their mission but in other eras where the Jedi were more resource strained like those the KOTOR games or TOR take place in it makes more sense for a Jedi to need to gather their own resources as much as they can IMO. And even in the PT they had to find a way to get what they needed on their own when the resources they had were useless on Tatooine, and yes I know there being no exchange rate offical or otherwise for Republic credits made no sense.
