^ You wont get any species that doesnt speak basic and doesn't follow the humanoid form

 

Humanoid according to Wookieepedia

 

"Classification of a being as humanoid was not standardized or strict. Generally, it entailed having a basic anatomy or construction similar to Humans, that is, a central torso with a head on top, two arms symmetrically arranged on either side, and two legs symmetrically arranged below, providing an upright bipedal stance. Each arm ended in hands that had a variable number of fingers (used for grasping and moving objects), and each leg in feet (used for locomotion). A living humanoid's head had two eyes, a nose for breathing and smelling, and a mouth for nutrition and communication; a mechanical humanoid would not require respiration or nutrition, and would have two photoreceptors instead of eyes. Humanoid species generally had sparse hair, mainly concentrated on the head or face.

 

A species with slight variations and deviations from this general arrangement could still be classified as humanoid. For example, Duros had no ears, nose, or hair; Twi'leks and Togruta featured headtails; and many non-humanoids had humanoid features. Wookiees, although seeming animalistic, could be called humanoids; they were also classified as anthropoids[3], a term referring to a species with simian features. "

However some source defines something doesn't matter. Only what Bioware considers to be acceptable matters, and Duros and Rodians are on the outside looking in.

 

=============

 

A few that I think should be acceptable:

 

Weequay

 

Devaronian

 

Togruta (though subject to head-clipping issues)

 

Chagrian (though subject to head-clipping issues)

 

Nikto (borderline)

 

 

That being said, I have long suggested the possibility of introducing some species as classes.

 

With a whole new class, they could control the romances for those species, including eliminating them entirely, and spend time in the story dealing with certain cultural issues that could help the players learn more about the species.

 

A Wookie doesn't necessarily have to be a trooper or a smuggler. Sometimes just being a Wookie is enough.

I would still pay handsomely to unlock Voss. Benefit: unlike some of the other races mentioned, they wouldn't have any of the helmet clipping issues as they are basically just re-skinned humans.

 

And lore-wise, given how long the game's been out (and that even when you get there, the Republic and Empire have been there a little while trying to get them to join) it would be perfectly feasible to allow them for both factions. As they are possibly force-sensitive, it could be possible for them to be any race!
