Vitas Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Most of the Kaleesh in gae speak basic and sound humnan. As for Trandoshan I think its only BW who decided they can't speak basic nothing in lore seems to suggest this, and they may have done it just for money saving. Half way through the republic story I noticed all the Twi'lek can't speak basic any more and only 2 or 3 Kel'dor seem to speak basic and the other speak alien but we know that species can speak basic. No, Trandoshans have been known in lore to be able to speak basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC-Frallan Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i would love to play as a Droidikas Trooper / Imperial Agent but i guess that aint gonna happen =) it would be cool thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kltpxyzm Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 First off, I'd love to see a smaller species, like the Dug or the gand. The cutscene layout of the game would easily allow it as proven by the tiny jedi glitch at early release and it'd add some flavor to get playable characaters that were clearly not like humans in appearance. Second; why not have independent droids as a species? You'd specify the general size and shape at creation and your droid body parts would change as you equipped them (i.e. instead of wrist guards you could have arms, helmets would be head types and so on). and yes, I'm ignoring the issues of voice acting; will comment on that when I have something worked out.

I agree as well, shorter races/species (also less attractive ones) brings more options and people. why I love Defels, (yes they almost as tall as humans, but they are still shorter, and damn ugly, and known to speak common and fit with in both sides of the lore).

Evil_Jashinist Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) I want devaronians. They'd be easy to get into the game and they speak basic and even sound like humans. Same with chagrian. Both already exist in game... I'm gonna go mainstream here and say togruta and nautolan too. I really want kaleesh as well. All of these could work with the existing voice acting for each class, they'd simply need to be adapted more to the game. And I sure could go for a devaronian sith Edited June 17, 2012 by Evil_Jashinist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinbros Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Cathar...really...really. What a waste of resources, I mean does SWTOR even read any of the posts made? Who the hell said anything about wanting such a retarded species when there are soooooo many better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitas Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Cathar...really...really. What a waste of resources, I mean does SWTOR even read any of the posts made? Who the hell said anything about wanting such a retarded species when there are soooooo many better options. It was one of the most requested species on the forums along with Togruta. I can imagine the latter would be next after Cathar but that's what most of the fans have been wanting. Plus they're already in-game as NPCs so less work on creating models, they're able to speak basic and their tone of voice is clear to understand.

Dyvid Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Well the current list of species that could be live tomorrow without much issue is Togruta, Mon Calamari, Chagrian, Trandoshan, Weequay, and Devoronian. Reason is because these companion species can already wear all the armor currently in game which is the biggest issue when make new species / races.

Savageman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd like to see several of those that they listed. More specifically: Trandoshan BH (one of my favorite suggestions), Gand BH, Rodian, Bothan, and Nautolan Call me crazy, but I'd roll a Selkath anything if it were a playable race. Worlds I'd love to see worked into the game would be Kashyyk and Manaan....maybe even Telos. I know Manaan might be a little hard to fit into SWTOR, but I think it could be cool. Don't ask me why I'd like to roll a Selkath....I just woke up one day like "I wanna play as a Selkath." Random and strange. But, there you go, BioWare....my suggestions (albeit a different topic) for future planets: Manaan, Telos, Kashyyk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maullum Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Barabel for Bounty Hunter and Sith Warrior. Just thought it would be super awesome (tail and all ) Voss for Consular (they're so pretty!) Zeltron for Inquisitor Quarren for Trooper Nautolan for Jedi Knight and Trooper Add to all that Togruta, Selonians, Kel Dor and Verpine, and we got us a party!

Twinbros Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well...I suppose Cathar are fine so long as they add more in the future. My wish list in most desired order: Nautolan, Togruta, Selkath, Mon Calamari and Selonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boatonthesea Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'd like to see Duinuogwuin NPCs. They would be kind of impossible as companions, but it would make sense to have one appear in a sidequest, as they are mentioned in the codex somewhere. If they did appear, they'd probably fill a role similar to that of the Hutts, NPCs that only talk but never really move much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briseius Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Created a thread shortly before finding this one: New Playable Race in 1.4 (Cathar to stay or go?)

Please feel free to add to the discussion these as well and promote the security or change of the new species. Well obviously once Cathar is made playable they shouldn't then be removed later. We want there to be more choices available, it would be a waste of development time and effort just to have them removed afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexfeller Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'd like to see kaleesh,ortolans,togruta,chagrian,houk,Gand,selonian,weequay,Wookie,mon calamari,talz,trandoshan , ithorian and maybe devaronian (females wouldn't work well as bounty hunters or smugglers as they are usually more "sensible" than the males but they would be great as consulars or knights) as playable. All of them are in the game and most of them are companions except for kaleesh,ortolans and ithorians. Bioware may have a bit of trouble putting in Wookie, ortolans and ithorian because of size and they don't speak basic but I wouldn't mind reading subtitles. All of the others would be easy enough go rbioware to put them in. I would also like to see quarrel and selonian NPC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting this for everyone to read (if they can be bothered or are able to) to show that reading subtitles shouldn't be a problem if they're unable to speak basic.
