Future Playable Races [Suggestion Thread].

im not quite sure why the Cathar and the Miriluka are so present and active in the game... during the mandalorian war/Jedi civil war both were nearly wiped out via genocide, so they should still be small and rebuilding...

It's been 300+ years, so they've had some time to repopulate. Also, as far as I'm aware the Miraluka "only" lost a colony, not their homeworld.

I can only remember 3 cathar in the game off the top of my head: the trooper companion, that senator that shows up during the Coruscant arc of the trooper story, and the one that shows up during the Balmorra arc of the BH story. There could be more that I haven't seen yet or weren't interesting or important enough to remember, but those are the only ones I can think of.

Taris is just crawling with Cathar:P

Not sure if Cathar are rare but after my vist to Taris there are a lot less of them I dont worry about too much about the lore and the number of species who would swap sides. I have seen more than a few Sith Purebloods working with the jedi order ( the JK compaion) abd if there can be such huge defection on the Sith side why not Cathar?

We need midget races!!

whatever the **** Yoda is
etc.

Plenty of Cathar survived, and the Miraluka were never almost wiped out. The only thing wiped out was a colony world that wasn't even that populated. Miraluka are still around at the time of the movies - the Big Bad of Dark Forces 2 was a Jerec, a Miraluka dark jedi that used to work for Palpatine.


Whether people like Bioware's reasons or not, it is most likely that only the species that can conceivably be attractive to humans are going to be made playable. They are not going to alter the classes to change things like lack of speaking Basic, or lack of romance.

Also, these guys just aren't going to appear period, without Bioware deciding to retcon history:

Ewoks - not discovered until sometime during the movies
Noghri - not discovered til the Clone Wars


And Chiss and Twi'leks are among the most popular Star Wars species. That's why they are in. Miraluka are in because they have been part of the Old Republic mythos since the first Tales of the Old Republic comics, as much as the Purebloods. Mirialans .... yeah you got me there.

Right now I just want an update from a Dev to tell us if new species will be added through legacy. As for being attractive or not body type 4 and several of the faces kinda show you dont have to be attractive to get laid in the old republic

I think they kinda had to retcon history with the Chiss though. They werent discovered until after the Battle of Endor I believe

Don't forget about the Falleen!

I agree. There is clearly a high demand for more alien races and who can blame people. It was one of the things that made Star Wars all these alien creatures that just fitted in they weren't unique or special just doing their own thing round the galaxy.

But all the devs are doing by ignoring this issue is very simialr to pre-launch lack of information where people hoped for things that were never going to make it into the game. But cause the devs couldn't be bothered to inform them found it very disappointing when what they hoped for wasn't in the game.
