The reason Hunter is bad is the same reason Trooper is bad: you're very limited in what you can express. Dark side and light side Sage, Warrior, Knight, and Sorcerer all make sense narratively. Agent can be secretly good and pretend to be bad, or just actually be bad. Smuggler really can express a patriot or a greedy opportunist. But this doesn't apply to Hunter or Trooper. Trooper actually doesn't make sense if you want to be bad or you talk shit to the Republic all the time. You're not a neccessary individual like you are with the 4 force classes, and you're not hiding your true feelings like with Agent. Trooper is just bitchy when you choose the options that aren't pro-republic, and that makes no sense narratively.
The same is true for Hunter. In every class story, you can play a pretty decent person. I was very pleasantly surprised by Warrior and Sorcerer in this regard. But you can't as Hunter. In some weird topsy turvey mad world series of events, you can be a better person as a Sith Warrior than a Hunter. I don't get who was writing what over at Bioware.
A second reason why Hunter is the worst, or tied with the worst with Trooper, is that you can't even express the type of character the game seems to want you to be able to express. It's like someone at Bioware realized they were writing the Hunter to be an ass, and so they injected that scene with the Mandolorian who's dying breath is to tell you to live with honor and uphold idealism rather than just being a thug for hire, but then they immediately, and I mean literally immediately, start chapter 3 which is just being a Sith's stooge and committing war crimes on Corellia. It doesn't follow at all, and no matter what you *want* to do, you have to ignore that guy and be a Sith stooge and commit war crimes on Corellia. Even what seems like a plot hook for a better character is ignored. I honestly thought we were going to be given a choice, and the game would branch in two directions: either decline the Sith's offer and start doing cool Manodlorian missions, or accept the Sith's offer and start committing war crimes against the innocent people of Corellia. But no, no branching story. You simply ignore what the dead guy said and that's it.
