Mediin Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Romances with companions i guess. Imagine a Jawa romancing with a Zabrak Speaking of Bioware, since when are odd interspecies relationships a problem for them? However, you maybe could add a third neutral gender which disallows any romancing at all. Of course, i will still never be able to play a Jawa as Sith Inquisitor in TOR.

Jagdfalke Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Cathar are hm...okay. Nothing what makes me going crazy but it is a start. I hope we get some other species too. I mean when i see all the posts about species, most people want Togrutas, so i still have the big hope we get them, some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrivner Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'll admit I saw Cathar coming out as a player race, but I had hoped they would do one race for the republic and one race for the empire, but oh well a new race is a new race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrivner Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Jeez, we already have Jawas, Calamari and Wookies as Companions in this game. What's the matter with adding them to the playable races? I would guess they dont want to have to do all of conversations over for the non-english speaking races at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, speaking about Jawa in particular, they will have to pull their hoods down when it comes to kisses, thus one of the greatest mysteries of the Galaxy Far Far Away is solved! Also, this scene looks pretty comical. Your human sized bf/gf lifts you up in his/her hands for a kiss. Cool, eh?

Jyzai Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 THUNDERCATS ---HOOOoooo!!!! You that was my first thought when I turned in that quest on Tython. I just wonder how people will give there Cathar Thundercat names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the IP belonged to Bioware (like ME does) then sure but the IP belongs to Lucas Arts and they like to keep things in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Antilles married a wierd bird alien Qui Xux and that was allowed though. What about Xizor the odd Falleen Black Sun boss..and Jabba they both wanted their way with Leia.

Anishor Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The races like wookiees, trandos and Ithorians will likely come in a expansion type pack because the need to craft a new story for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarenDahe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Personally I think I'll remake all my characters as Cathar, it'll help weed out that certain element in people I play with that I just can't stand, buwhahahaha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qouivandes Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 i would be rather easy for a Sniper to distract them in PvP...just take the laser pointer and move it on the ground and let your teammates take em out. or, cybertechs could just take one of their grenades and put a bell inside of it and just roll it down the ramps and such. thunder...thunder...thundercats!!!

Costello Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I am both surprised and disappointed with the choice of Cathar. The problem was that too many of the species were grey, green, blue, red or blind humans. Now the devs have taken 6 months to offer us another human like species. If you are going to spend 6 months creating a species why are they making it another near human, Cathar should have been in at launch and should have been put in the game much quicker than they have. When will we start seeing real alien species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Romances with companions i guess. Imagine a Jawa romancing with a Zabrak I am sure the brief conversation, followed by fading to black for 2 seconds, followed by the 'well that was nice let's do it again maybe some day' would work exactly the same with jawas as it does for re-colored human skins. And the other people's arguments that the MMO is fully voiced ... give me a break. Wookies, Jawas, Trandoshans are already in the game and voiced and have text. Why would that not work exactly the same way for player characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that not work exactly the same way for player characters? Because then they still have to hire those voice actors to do it all again. Dont forget, your voices are currently not based on your race, they're determined purely by your Gender and Class. This allows them to only have 8 Male and 8 Female voices to record. Wheras we simply cant have a Wookie or Jawa talking with that deep American cowboy accent that Bounty hunters have, or the British Imperial voices of the Sith Warriors., it just wouldnt make sense. BW might allow it, but LucasArts never would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW might allow it, but LucasArts never would. Why would they have to do it all over again? Some races could speak generic huttese, for example. You can replay the same one soundbyte over and over and nobody would tell the difference. They have a variety of sound bytes they could recycle. Hell, a lot of us would gladly sacrifice voiceovers altogether to get the chance to play as some of the iconic star wars races that were left out. I'm actually glad we're getting the Cathar, but going forward we had better see a new race every couple of months, or more than just 1 at a time. I know this ship has been through rocky seas lately, but with the sad amount of content that's come out in the last 4 months, by the time they're launching Cathar they could've included 2 or 3 other races. If the way this game is created limits us from ever seeing certain races, I'd rather see that architecture scrapped entirely, because your story dies at level 50 anyway, and the odds of them being able to pay the same great voice actors to do any "story" expansions you're hoping for are pretty slim anyway. It's more immersive to see these races in the galaxy than it is to have a few dialogue options you'll hear once and never listen to again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbaratheon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Bothans would be cool, especially for Smugglers and Agents. But then again, many Bothans would die getting BW the information it needs. So maybe best to leave them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norke Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I hold no interest in Cathar at all, I honestly hope this is just a speed bump in the way of introducing more races rather than the new race we'll have for the next couple of years.

Orarr Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 In a game where your racial choices are: a humana human with a microchip on their facea green humana blue humana human with a blindfolda red human with things hanging off their facea human with headtailsa bleached human with a bedazzled skulla human with horns on their head ....what else did you expect besides a human with cat ears?
