Anaesha Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just to make OP aware. Avast Antivirus flagged the poll site as a trojan. Most likely a False Positive. Certain antivirus programs are a little over zealous and flag items as viruses even when they are completely harmless.

OranoQuanteras Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Update Nautolan 51 Votes Kel Dor 36 Votes Kaleesh 22 Votes Bothan 21 Votes Rodian 18 Votes Zeltron 17 Votes Mon Calamari 14 Votes Farghul 7 Votes Wow, Nauto's are racking up the votes. Nice. I would be interested to see the results if you could only choose one race as opposed to being able to vote for multiple. Wonder how many of the other votes would have gone to Nautolan if people only had one vote to use. sidenote: ran the site through Malzilla and other than a few obnoxious redirects nothing overtly malicious.

Yeah if I had allowed only a single vote per user Nautolons might have more then they do. Yeah I figure if someone else gets a warning of a virus and I or others don't then it's probably a False positive as for the redirects a good program like ad blocker plus should stop that.

Darth-Obvious Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Voss? How are they not boring? They're just recolored humans. The thing that people have the biggest complaint about when it comes to the races. Also the Voss are hardly an unpopular choice when it comes to the player base. They usually ranked somewhat high so I don't know where you're getting they idea that they didn't/wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerodian Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 They are more then recolored humans considering they appear to have compound eyes which humans don't have. That's a trick of the eye texture and a normal map. The mesh underneath is likely identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdbgjfdhjgkjdhsg Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I got the same notice...or I would have added my vote to the site. Crap! I voted. Fortunately it was on a tablet which those things don't really affect. Edit: after reading the other posts on this, I think I'm fine. On a side note, the playable species that I would really like to see is trandoshan. They work with existing armor (except gloves, boots, and helmets which I can see those just not showing on them like Qyzen Fess). They are capable of speaking basic, although that would be akward so I suggest using the trandoshan voices already in the game and using subtitles. As for romance, who cares!

Darth-Obvious Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 They are more then recolored humans considering they appear to have compound eyes which humans don't have. As stated below your post it's just a different texture map. I personally like the Voss and think they could be cool, voice modulation and all, however the most common complaint people make about the races is that they're generally recolored humans. There really isn't anyway around that though at this point as the playable races need to work within the confines of what already exists in the game (cutscenes, armor, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xordevoreaux Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Otalans! Who doesn't want to be a cute little blue elephant? Or astromechs! Yes!! We can all run around spinning and shaking and beeping and who the hell would know the difference if we're really being romantic. Added benefit: If we could suddenly inhabit the body of T7, Bioware would be forced the nerf the fact that T7 keeps firing his built-in pistol long after the mob is dead. Perfection!

SlightlySychotic Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Kinda weird saying Voss are just "recolored humans." Has no one else noticed that they're at least a foot taller than the standard player model? They all use type two bodies but they're taller than a type 3 male. Exactly how many points of differentiation do we need before the "recolor" argument goes away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EisenhowerNixon Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Mon Calamari would be awesome. Their racial would be 'It's a Trap!' which allows them to escape movement stopping effects. They would also add a class called Admiral and you would level up with a Mon Cal as the Admiral until you kill him(for DS) or he retires (For LS). Then you'd become space admiral and go about commanding your space fleet as you level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelinaH Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Togorian, Selonian, Falleen. Obviously only the last is even a viable option. I'd be sated for a while if they'd just release a "Near-Human" pack with extra cosmetic options (new skin, hair and eye colors, tattoo patterns and hairstyles).

Exactly how many points of differentiation do we need before the "recolor" argument goes away? If the Voss became playable they would end up using the 8 existing body types in the game exactly as they are now. In other words a playable version of the Voss would not be any taller than the current player character models because the tops of their heads would get cropped out of a majority of the game's cutscenes. Them adjusting the Voss to appear taller isn't anything special, so don't act like it is. Lord Scourge uses Body Type 3 but is still a foot taller than the player Body Type 3. When people say "recolored humans" they're basically referring to anything that has a human type face thus Voss are recolored humans. I don't think you understand that when people are saying they want something more alien and/or not recolored humans that they are referring to stuff like Kel-Dor, Ithorian, etc. Remove the texture maps from a Voss and nobody can tell what race it is. Remove the texture maps from a Kel Dor or Ithorian and it's still obvious what race they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
