rmsanford Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Since I brought up different species, I think this game could use at least 2 more species for each side. I've gone through the Star Wars lore and came up with a few that I think would be great in this game. Here is my list of the species and what classes they could be: Empire: Faleen - Imp Agent or Bounty Hunter Ssi-Ruuk - Inquisitor or Bounty Hunter Devaronian - Warrior or Inquisitor or Imp Agent or Bounty Hunter Nikto - Trooper or Smuggler Republic: Bothan - Trooper or Smuggler Kel Dor - Knight or Consular Togruta - Knight or Consular Shistavanen - Knight or Smuggler If I could pick 2 from each side, I'd chose Faleen, Devaronian, Bothan, and Shastavanen. I'd like to know what others think. If you know of another that would be better, include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnlyKyrenS Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 the only problem with adding more species is modelling issues. at least with the humanoids, all their bodies are relatively the same except the twi'lek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thargrim Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Kaleesh for BH, SW, SI, SM, JK, JC. And Voss for the Jedi classes (tied to high legacy lvl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acheros Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Why would the nikto join the empire when there are missions dealing with nothing but killing them? Also, kaleesh. I want a kaleesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisftw Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey bro here's a link to you're other thread talking about the same thing you are in this one. i didn't want to repost my reply to you. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=254198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetMalice Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 the only problem with adding more species is modelling issues. at least with the humanoids, all their bodies are relatively the same except the twi'lek. They outsource their art to 6 different countries. You WILL NOT see any other player models because of this. For a very long time at least.

paul_preib Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 While it wouldn't work for storyline purposes, kinda wanted to be able to make a voss pretty much as soon as the first one ran up to me in the airlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirUrza Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Make Wookiees republic only and the faction imbalance would fix itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmsanford Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Actually, Chris, it was a single thread cut into two parts. I did that because, although similar, they were too different subject matters. One thread was about how bland character creation was, and this one is about adding new species with original variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronze_Elemental Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 This game needs wookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmsanford Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 I thought about listing wookiees, but they and Trandoshans are companions. Maybe that would've been too much. Then again, Galaxies had wookiees...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmsanford Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 True, but I'd already typed out the message. When I heard about this game, I wanted to resurrect my wookiee from Galaxies (Skoch'on'roks) and play as him. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. I think Bothans and Faleen are the two best ideas for new species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetMalice Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Which ones and what the name of the studios? "Art has been outsourced to Russia, Estonia and China. Motion capture filming is done in L.A. and Vancouver, Canada, with voices recorded in New York, London and Paris in English, French and German. Quality assurance testing takes place in Romania, Argentina and India, while technical operations are run out of Virginia and the customer service center operates in Ireland. " I don't have a better link anymore. I lived in Galway and I know for a fact that a lot of the people they hire in Ireland are like "Outsourcing overseers" that communicates with the other CS outsourced to India etc. It is far from streamlined. http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/01/20/star-wars-the-old-republic-the-story-behind-a-galactic-gamble/#/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyDale Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ewoks, Jawas, the unknown Yoda race....to name just a few. This goes to show where BioWare go their priorities messed up. Instead of spending so much time on voice-acting and cut scenes it would have been a lot smarter to spend that time instead making races like the ones mentioned playable. It would have added a lot more to this game in the long run than all of their voiced cut scenes did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekta Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) It would have added a lot more to this game in the long run than all of their voiced cut scenes did. Characters repeat the same thing over and over when accepting quests. We got that instead of a playable Jawa race Edited January 31, 2012 by Ekta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I would like to see Gran for SI, when you get to tsee the new recruits on Korriban and one is a Gran it was like, thats what I want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
