Ashokas not as bad as bringing back Darth Maul with bionic legs, but still bad enough to make togrutans way less cool than they used to b.

Lots of species can't speak Basic. Keep that in mind.

Why bother? U can make a sith pureblood into a Jedi sage, you can play a republic trooper in clone armor 3000 years before the clone wars, since they've already made a huge mess adding what they think the game needed to make money, n if the addition of alien voicing is too difficult they may as well just let specialty races speak basic too, so that fans can have at least a few more of the same species options we had in Galaxies, n to be honest I wont b pleased if Togrutans are next added, this game is already full of Ashoka rump kissers, last thing I want is to see her annoying face around every corner.

I bet you're thinking about wookies. They actually CAN speak basic if they have speech defect. There's one or two wookies with that defect in Star Wars canon. I don't see how this could not be made into SWTOR. This is the race community wants the most I think.

I personally would love to play a droid.

Jawa would be cool too, but it's not doable. Noone in the galaxy treats Jawa even with a slight bit of respect, they are mostly scavengers, they have small models, wear always a hood and there's not even one Jawa that can speak basic in the whole galaxy.

no.... the Wookie you're thinking of with the speech defect DIDN'T speak basic... the speech impediment he had conveniently rendered his Shyriiwook pronunciation much easier to understand for those not fluent in the language (Leia at the time as she was still learning it)

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Heres mine:

1.Wookiee, 2.Droid, 3.Mon Calamari, 4.Jawa, 5.Rodian, 6.Sullustan, 7.Trandoshan, 8.Quarren, 9.Duros, 10.Nogrhi

I understand some people like Cathar, and actually requested them, but this thread is more for those who didnt, and would like to throw other ideas out there.
1. Wookiee - Papa Lucas said, "NO!"
2. Droid - Hope Papa Lucas said, "NO!" Aside from throwing game mechanics off, it's just a bad idea.
3. Mon Calamari - Don't like them, but why not.
4. Jawa - Only if you like being kicked.
5. Rodian - Sure, oddly, I like Greedo
6. Sullustan - Not my bag, but ok too
7. Trandoshan - see No. 6
8. Quarren - also see No. 6
9. Duros - ahem, see No. 6.
10. Noghri - Can't happen, Papa Lucas didn't say so directly, but it's the same reason there will be no Ewoks. They haven't left their homeworlds at this time.

So in summation, you really did no better than Cathar. Besides, it's not like they pulled Cathar out of a hat. This was voted on by players. Sorry if you didn't vote. Shows what can happen when you don't (hint, hint Nov. 6th ). If you want to impact races, a simple modification would go a long way.

Easy one, change Cyborg to Humanoids, Near-Human, or simply Alien. Throw in an array of skin tones, ears, head shapes, and attatchments and you woun't have to worry about much of the aliens in SW. It's not like race really makes that big an impact in the game. Doesn't affect stats. The only thing is some VOs. But I've noticed that there are certain ones that already call you "alien" anyway. Sure someone will just make a crazy, wierd, strange looking alien that is just a bunch of random pieces, but isn't that what made SW so great. Not every alien just looks like a human with some head and/or nose prosthetics.
It's amazing how loud a dollar can be.
