MarkathTheFist Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm most likely not the only person who thought Bosk was a ****** in the Starwars movies, and me and a couple buddies would love the chance to play a Trandoshan like we did in Star Wars Galaxies, any Devs that might be watching the threads, I'd love a response.

FearTheReapr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I still want the Kel'dor to be the next playable race, after the Togruta. The problem with Trandoshans, is that they don't speak Galactic Basic i.e. English, so it wouldn't really work...At least the Kel'dor do speak Basic, so it's not unreasonable.

FearTheReapr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I stand corrected. As it turns out: Most Trandoshans were fluent in both Dosh and Basic, also being literate in both languages.

OddballEasyEight Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 No, it is not. Because of several reasons: 1: Their size. They are larger than a normal human, and thus would require a new set of animations and the camera angles would have to be reworked/rechecked on ALL the cutscenes in the game.2: Their looks. It would be very very hard to get a believable romance going for them... also, the kissing animations wouldn't work.3: Armour. Hands, feet and head wouldn't work with most armour parts, so those would be bare. Not the biggest concern, but it would mean making 3/7th of all armour models invisible. And for a game where people pay for armour with real money in some cases, that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaisernick Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 they said the only chance of species like trandos becoming playable is that they would be a unique class like trando hunter cant find the source but ill put it up if i find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also said they're never adding new classes because of the astronomical cost associated with it. They were pretty much giving a fancy way of saying "we won't do it."

They were pretty much giving a fancy way of saying "we won't do it." New classes would be fine, but what he said....^^^^ Trandoshans, wookies, and other weird alien lifeforms that would require a boatload of work for armor, cutscenes, dialogue, etc. probably ain't gonna happen. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see new classes with new class stories, I just doubt it is something we'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For trandoshans I just figured they would do the armor similar to what they did for Qyzen Fess by just having the chest, belt and bracers slots visible. Trandos don't need shoes.

Trandos don't need shoes. thats how they had them in Star wars galaxies... you could equipe boots... and gloves. but you dont see them... , but ithorians and wookiees have there own armor that the other species , aka Human. Zabrak, Sullustan , Twilek , Bothans there armor had to be specially crafted. compaired to them, if they did add Trandos . wookiees or ithorians... it would be just like qyzen.... you would put the armor on but it would show up different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for cutscenes, I'm pretty sure trandos would work given the fact that they are roughly the size of a type 3 male body. They do speak basic so that wouldn't be a problem, though modulating the voices would be necessary. Romanes? It can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they like to go with aliens with head tails that clip which will lead to people not liking it and then to people complaining on the forums for he next three months.

branmakmuffin Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) We've got two possible things going on here. First possibility, "Wouldn't it be great if Transdoshains were a playable race?" musing. That's fantasizing, so go ahead and fantasize. Second possibility, it's a request to have Transdosians added as a player race. At this point, requests for overtly non-human-looking aliens as player races are pretty much trolling, because everyone knows that this game is not SWG and never will be, and the romance option precludes races like Transdoshian, Wookiees, etc., whether they are capable of speaking Basic or not. Even if the supposed "Princess Leia kiss test" is not an actual thing, it might as well be (although I don't think shark-genital-faced Sith PB would pass it).

fdbgjfdhjgkjdhsg Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Fine, it's a request. Can we have Trandos as a playable race? I don't care if you would kiss it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkathTheFist Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I appreciate the feedback, but the Sage/shadow has a Trandoshan as a companion so the animations are already there, as for the armor, the boots, gloves and helmet can easily be hidden like Qyzen fess's gear is, so that's why I posed the question, the Togruta will become a playable race, so can the Trandoshan become a playable race as well.

Bluerodian Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I suspect Bioware chooses their player species by whether or not an overly hormonal teenager can rub one off to it. If not, no dice. Secondly how little work the can get away with implementing it. If more than a minimal effort, then no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlcman Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I can see male wookiee smuggler romancing a very adorable Bowdarr. The only problem I would see there is the moaning and groaning could be either conversation or climax. Edited May 4, 2015 by dlcman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming targrutas = togruta, which we are getting sometime this year. 2. shaak ti IS a togruta, not sure what you mean by and her species... 3. Bothans: Highly unlikely maybe, bit problematic on romances but not too bad. Ithorians: will never happen Trandoshans: will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vember Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Man I hope not...I put Qyzen Fess in the deepest depths of my ship so I never have to see him again, or listen to his guttural whining about how Trandoshans are treated unfairly and how he lost his high score.

menofhorror Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) How can you do that? Qyzen is awesome. Just because he`s a lizard you put him aside? What a cruel person. :/ Edited May 4, 2015 by menofhorror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animation is there for his animations, sure... but there are a ton of other animations that he never does. Especially in cutscenes. For example, kissing I'm not saying the armour pieces can't be hidden... look at my post again. And no, the trandoshians won't be a playable race for the reasons I mentioned.
