I've read some opinions about droids... but how do you do for Jedi ans Sith ?

Droid aren't "living things", they're just "things", and the Force is something that resides in and be used by living creatures.

id say dont allow the droids to use force classes, and or make a special class just for droids.

Heres mine:

1.Wookiee, 2.Droid, 3.Mon Calamari, 4.Jawa, 5.Rodian, 6.Sullustan, 7.Trandoshan, 8.Quarren, 9.Duros, 10.Nogrhi
At the end of the day if they were going to give us a species that is feline they should have gone Bothan.

I agree with this thread though. Since beta i was dissapointed with the pathetic racial choices of psudo-humans. This is Star Wars! It is supposed to be freaking chocked full of wierd non human species. It's NOT wow, we dont want half a dozen or so races. Bioware you can't treat the Star Wars fanchise like just another mmo, the fans you have left playing the game and paying for it are the hard core starwars fans who are loyal to the IP, if you are not in turn staying true to the IP then you WILL LOOSE THEM as they become disenfranchised.

Wake up to yourselves Bioware! Cathar? seriously what a joke... I sure am NOT going to re-roll any toons just to make a lame cathar.

SWTOR won't truly represent the spirit of Star Wars until numerous iconic star wars non-human alien species are playable.

Proxy was able to use some sort of technology to replicate force push, there you go. The droid could have some sort of electric weapon built into its hands to replicate force lightning.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

Proxy was also 3000+ years in the future, that technology might not exist yet in the TOR era. We're really starting to push the limits of canon with some of these.

1. Kaleesh 2. Weequay 3. Devaronian 4. Togruta 5. Trandoshan 6. Nikto 7. Mon Calamari 8. Duros 9. Neimoidian 10. Kel'dor

I honestly think Star Wars Galaxies had a much better character customization sheet than SWTOR.

Disable Droid now becomes useful in PvP, giving Sentinels a mez. It also negates the In-Stealth Mez moves of Scoundrel and Shadow. One of the great things about this game is that race is purely aesthetic. Adding Droid as a playable race would change that.

Er..... it would just be like all the other abilities that work in PvE (on Mobs) and not in PvP (on players), I can't see how it would be a problem at all.



anyway.....

1. Wookie(e)
2. Droid
3. Gammorean.
4. Jawa
5. Trandoshan
6. Ugnaut.
7. ithorian
8. Kel Dor
9. Gand
10. rodian
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

It could be an ancient droid "race" from times when everything was bigger and better (and in the JK story-line there's a bit about force using droids [or the potential to be so]).

Really in the expanded universe of SW "non-canon" only means someone hasn't wrote a comic about it yet.

I hope I'm not considered a "hater" for this but it really does confound me somewhat that a Star Wars game (particularly one of this magnitude) did not launch with Wookie as a playable race....

I'm still here and still playing and will continue for the forseeable future but it's a fair criticism to level, I think.
