Definitely needs more species and broader character creation... This is Star Wars ppl, there are hundreds of races and only a few are selectable. It's a bit insulting to the SW Universe and Star Wars fans (sorry to sound harsh) to restrict to Human, Cyborg(?), Zabrak, Twi'lek, Mirialan, Miraluka, Chiss, Rattataki,and Sith... I mean come on. Where is Nautolan, Kel Dor, Togruta, Devaronian, Kaleesh, Mon Cal, Rodian, Duros, Ithorian, Trandoshan, Gen'Dai, Bothan, Sullustan, Cathar, and so on.
The wide variety of species alone would liven up the game with more diverse players and more individuality. It's just very strange for everyone to be so limited to the species we have to choose at start, this being in the Star Wars universe and all. I know I'll probably get the usual "The game just came out, etc" But many of the species models are already in game, no reason they couldn't modify them for char creator and throw in some alt gens, etc.
This is one of the primary issues bothering me so far. So yes I agree with OP.
