Sometimes though the choices that you make in TOR are counter to what you'd do as a Sith in the Star Wars era
For example in the game you promise a woman that you'll protect her for information that you need. The light choice is that you agree to honor your deal. The dark choice is you turn her over to your ally who is obsessed with her.
In the Plageus/Sideous/Bane era you don't make evil choices because your evil, you make the choice that best benefits you and your path to power.
the logical choice would be to protect her, and bend her to your will, and use her to forward your plan and serve you in that way.
But protector her in the game is a good guy choice.
Earlier in the game, I chose to spare some republic soliders (got major light points for that) and then they came to my rescue later. The evil choice was to slaughter them. To me I made the proper Sith choice in sparing them and using them as a took and I actually got penalized for it.

Morality in video games is broken like that. Look no further than Mass Effect. You can't effectively be a Han Solo like charming rogue. You're either as vanilla as Jesus or just a massive prick.
