Most important thing: Inquistors can now romance Khem Val. He got me when he talked about wanting to eat me or smth. Couldn't stop laughing. Not retroactivly of course, you just get a cutscene that's probably only worth some off commentary in future content.
Same is true for Nadia, Jaesa andLaura Bailey Kira, who apparently used those years watching all those girl/girl movies I gave them "as part of their training", because they are totally into girls too now. After 8 years. Yeah...
Ossus is just the prelude to come back to the good old cold-ish war between imps and reps. That's what everyone signed up for anyway. Ossus introduces 2 new characters: the black stronk womyn for reps and the yellow twilek trooper for imps. I love that twilek. Broad working class-ish british accent bro. Also Malgus returns as big bad. Again.
I like the fact that the empire is about to change more into what my LS warrior/quis where aiming for: less needless infighting between Sith and using the untapped resource of aliens into the ranks. Gives you a little sense of accomplishment.
Ossus ends with cold war getting very warm again.
Bioware then branches the whole thing into 2 routes (Imp or Rep) and a subroute each (Loyalist or Saboteur), loy/sab is set when Lana asks you if you want to ally with your old faction or your former enemy (before Ossus). An Imp chosing empire gets the "imperial loyalist" route, chosing the republic makes you a "saboteur". You still play the imperial story, but you get the occasional "sabotage their efforts and kill all important personal". To avoid confusions: you will always play your original faction's content, there's no real side switching. Actually pretty well done.
Lana now freaks the shit out of me, after she just casually beheaded people middialog when i only HINTED they kinda sorta might have failed me. And then continued as if nothing happened.
Story there is: reps have a magic shipyard on Corellia, both fleets try to arrive there quickly. But the reps have to refuel at two planets, so the imps try to blow them up there, while the reps try to prevent that. Then endfight on Corellia with the war being hot now.
Inquisitor is my favorite there, you simply know all the important characters and gets some funny extra lines.
Also if you play an inquisitor you reaaaaaalllly should be an imp loyalist:
If Bioware can keep up that level of writing I'll probably dump the occasional sub into it. They will probably do it episode style again, so once per year will be enough.

Quisers get an extra dialog option in the beginning when you approach the empress: bow, don't bow and tell the Sith having your job now: "Yo dude, you're in my chair! Next time i come here ima kill you!". And if you picked that line and only if you do so, at the end of the game, the Inqui turns around and goes "remember what I told you?" <slaps the darth half across the room with lightning while everyone sneaks out, not to draw your anger>. Empress: "Welcome back Darth Codexia Nox!" <closeup of your smug face>
I admit, I had a little tear in my eye at that point.
