zeekaran Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Voice-overs are the only reason why we don't have more alienish species. They can't afford that many voice actors and they also don't want to deal with actually creating a full language for each species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemVos Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 What do you mean lack of alien races? Of the 9 races in the game 7 are alien and another one isn't really a separate race. So there is really only 8 races, 7 of which are aliens. So what are you suggesting? They drop humans and go 100% alien? I'm not saying 100% alien but I would love to have Kiffar in there. I mean it was one of the big reasons why I wanted this game to make a Kiffar character. Also what about the races like what Yoda is, and what Ki Adi Mundi is.

Frostvein Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 They're all just minor variations of human, so cheap and easy to do. by design. For cut-scenes, armor and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlyxDinas Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So you want to be a Kiffar ? Really ? They are just humans with face tattoos. I was going to say this. If you want to roll a Kiffar, you can just roll a human and give them a tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achwas Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) rule of thumb..if it doesn't speak basic..it's NOT going to be a race added. the voiceovers would not fit a Rodian..for example..so I doubt we'll see them...like Wookies..not happening. hmm, as fas as I recall, Twileks didn't speak basic back in the Movies but oh well....

JerokTalram Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Which ones are Alien? Twi'lek and maybe Sith Pureblood? Everything else is a human with: Green Human(Mirialan) Blind Human(lolwut Miraluka) Cyborg(Shame to the person who thought making a slider an entire race was cool, so idiotic) Horned Human(Zabrak, there's even a human skin so you can look exactly like a human!! yay!!11) Blue Human(Chiss) Human!(Human, this one is the most alien:rolleyes:) Did I miss any? If I did, it's probably another human with a tiny facial difference. They are separate races even if they only have different skin color.There's a dffierence between being human and being humanoid. Their Physiology could be completely different because they are aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerokTalram Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 hmm, as fas as I recall, Twileks didn't speak basic back in the Movies but oh well.... I believe that Aayla Secura speaks to Master Windu in Basic in Episode III but that scene may have been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezzi Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 They simply need more of the less obviously-humanoid species in the game. Star Wars, while being a story of good vs evil, is also a story about diversity and working together despite it. Both the Rebellion and the Republic represent this diversity in the face of adversity, and it's a shame our species choices have boiled down to different colored humans. When it comes to Star Wars, the chiss are my absolute favorite species. Count me among the blessed who had their species of choice featured as playable (despite having to wait for Legacy to play them in the class I wanted to originally); however, judging by this thread and others, there are a lot of people out there who see their favorite species in the game as an NPC, and I can only imagine their frustration. There are still more than a handful of popular species who fit the developers' extremely narrow definition of what players want to play: togruta, kel dor, nautolan, cathar, bothan, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolyartNala Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) It's not even that, it's called "limited time and resources." They could have launched the game with 500 playable races, it would have just cost them another million dollars of development money. There are 10 different races in the game as it is. I'm sorry that the OP's favorite isn't among them, but I'd hardly say the game suffers from a lack.I disagree. What we essentially have is eight variations of human. Human---Granted. Zabrak---Bumpy-headed humans with tattoos on their faces. Film origin. Chiss---Blue humans. Expanded Universe nonsense. Miraluka---Humans with doo-rags on their faces. BioWare nonsense. Cyborg---Why is this a species and not simply a customization option? Film origin. Mirialian---Green humans with tattoos on their faces. Film origin. Sith Pureblood--Red humans. Expanded Universe nonsense. Twi'leks---These are a good inclusion. Film origin. Meanwhile,some of the really cool, iconic Star Wars species are in the game, but aren't playable. What? Rodian Togruta Duros Gand Nautolan Kel Dor And on and on. I hope some of them make it into a game update or expansion. The lack of non-human playable species options is my biggest gripe about the game. Who cares about diddling your companion? I want to play something cool!

Dezzi Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I believe that Aayla Secura speaks to Master Windu in Basic in Episode III but that scene may have been cut. There's also the twi'lek on Hutta who speaks basic--the one who gives you the "Black Death" mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no tattoo option for humans in character creation. I know I looked Edited April 23, 2012 by RemVos add on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirameki Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) There is no tattoo option in character creation. I know I looked. QFT The people saying we just need to apply a tattoo to our characters, not all classes get tattoos.( and even when they do, they dont even look like Qukuuf facial tattoos) Yeah I can make a nice tanned human male/female with dreadlike/messy hair but still no tattoo so nope no kiffar look, not even the slightest. Corso Riggs was kiffar too, before the last beta/launch. So they do have (or well more had) kiffar looks ingame. Old Corso Riggs look I wanted a Kiffar too but alas I had to settle for a tanned human beauty. Edited April 23, 2012 by Kirameki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annedromeda Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Too large. You wouldn't be able to fit through any of the doors. Ha ha! the /stuck command would actually have to be an ability with a cooldown of 5 seconds.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
