Nado_Nihil Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anyone else wann play other species? And, I'm talking aliens! I'd love to play as a Duros, a Quarren, a Rodian, or an Ithorian. Is this possible? Anyone else want to? What other species would people want to play? I ask because all the current species are too human-like--even the Mirialan, Twi'lek, and Sith pureblood. Dare I ask: Is playing as a wookie or even as a one of Yoda's species possible? That would be awesome! Also, it would be awesome to create your own species! Is that a possibility?

cellavalo_valcyn Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 If I could play as a Bothan again I would make the entire dev team cookies. Good ones. Or buy them a box of cookies. Probably that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Roderick Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I play humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 There is a whole list of alien species I wish I could play, currently the one at the top of the list is Gran. I am hoping that the legacy system will open up some more alien species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pursang Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Don't expect any non-human-like species any time soon. Basically if you can't imagine kissing it, don't expect them to put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestrialFox Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You can kiss a rancor, can we have that as playable soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeScc Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well, we can always hope that Bioware will turn their back on different colored humans. Aliens are a must-have in such a diverse galaxy. However for those who want to play wookies and jawas. I'd just rather they didnt add them. Seeing wookies with lightsabers and Republic trooper armor would just be wierd. And force sensitive jawas were mentioned on Tatooine, but the customization would be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think ive seen this thread about a million times. They dont have all the other species bc it conflicts with the story, romance, cinematics, etc. Technically it can conflict with weighting, armor, animations, etc - especially if its a different proportioned char. If I were BW, I would focus less on story, romance, cinematics, and focus more on getting these other species into play so other ppl can be more attracted to them. Thats what makes SW universe so cool - there is such a rich variety of species. When you limit that to the players, then it eliminates that whole aspect.

RedFox Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have a list of all the different races ALREADY included in the game? this way we can see which races are more human like (Duros for example) and those are likely to be included in the game soon enough (I think bioware said they would first concentrate on the races already in the game to be included in the legacy system) Edited January 22, 2012 by RedFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nado_Nihil Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I know I've seen Duros, Rodians, Torgrutas, Cathars, Niktos, Ithorians, Mon Calamari, Trandoshans, Wookies, Jawa, Yoda's species, Hutts, Bith, Nautolans, Kel'Dors, Gamorrean, and a few other species whose names I do not know. And, I've only played as a Jedi consular...can anyone add to the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgrey Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Dare I ask: Is playing as a wookie or even as a one of Yoda's species possible? That would be awesome! While I would love to play as a Wookiee eventually, I'm glad I'm not the voice actor responsible for recording grunts, howls and growls for every cutscene in the game. That's gotta hurt after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkeos Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 At the moment we got: humans humans with a electronic device tattoo humans with blue skin humans with grey skin and tattoos humans with colorful skin and towel wraps on the back of their head humans with horns and red skin Do you see a trend there?

Not to mention that none of the Sith even look like actual Sith. I havent seen too many 50 Sith with actual hoods/cloaks - u know the trademark of a SITH.

Izorii Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 There, found the list http://db.darthhater.com/codex/species/ Good list not sure what the level is but does show all the species already in the Game. I do wonder if DE regrets says "If you can't imagine it kissing Leia it wont be in the game" guess it was his second worst comment after "No one cares about species lets just stick in a bunch of painted humans and everyone will be happy".

Zodnom Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Races don't matter one bit in this game. In That Other MMO, you start in an area dictated by your race. You learn about the history of your race, find out about the politics of how your particular race became part of the faction that it's in, and why it has the classes that it does. Race also dictates a few different in-game abilities that actually affect the performance of certain class/race combinations. In SWTOR, race means getting a silly social action. That's it. All that matters is your class. Nobody ever mentions what race you are, no special race-related quests... just class. What's the point of more races when the races already don't matter one bit?

Pastorfrog Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Any race that's added will have to speak basic (English). They've stated this before, and for good reason. The voiceovers are class specific, not race specific, so any race added to a given class has to be believable when hearing the voiceover come out of their mouth.

They dont have all the other species bc it conflicts with the story, romance, cinematics, etc. Technically it can conflict with weighting, armor, animations, etc - especially if its a different proportioned char. Almost all of the races listed are already in game, and dont conflict with gear or cinematics. Duros, Rodians, Arcona, Nikto are all just head swaps, and are capable of speaking basic.
