Cel Cawdro's Ultimate "Community Desire for Species" Poll

1-Togruta

2-Nautolan

3-Voss

OP not to sound like a broken record, but Shistavanens would be classified as humanoids.

1. They speak basic

2. They walk up on two feet

3. They can wear pretty much what humans can, save for boots, gloves, headgear.

4. They have s similar facial structure to humans, save for the ears, snout, and of course fur.

5. Hell they even have opposable thumbs.

They clearly are humanoids.

I've elaborated further elsewhere, but in short, their depictions vary and they have canine legs that are not compatible with existing models. While they are (usually) humanoid in every other respect, that one detail forced them out of that category as they would require a new model/animations, etc. If I placed Selonians in that category (which also vary wildly in their animalistic depictions, but are definitely non-humanoid by SW:TOR's standards), it would be hypocritical of me not to place Shistas in there with them.

The categorizations I have set up consider how much effort would be needed to implement a species, how many new assets would need to be created, how many could be reused, etc. - this usually matches up well with in-universe definitions, but some oddities can crop up. You identified one.

1. Togorian

2. Farghul

3. Duros

I know Togorians shouldn't be included since at this point in SW history the race hasn't been discovered yet, but if Chiss can be here nearly 4000 years early then why not

Updated.

I'm not entirely aware of the Togorians, but unless there's some sort of extenuating circumstance, it's always easy for something -even an entire species - to be forgotten in a universe as large and varied as Star Wars.

Togorians are a large felonoid race, I think from the mid-rim. They are a highly aggressive and brutal (would probably make your average sith shudder lol) race of mostly pirates. Mght makes right only scratches the surface of these nut-jobs, but I've always loved playing them in the RPG. Try playing a 10 foot jedi who struggles wether he should mind trick someone into going home, or seeing if you can throw each of thier limbs as close as possible.
Honestly, they would be the programmers worst nightmare so I'd never expect it to happen, but was a fun suggestion.

If recent comments are to be believed, it just may come down to plausibility and player demand more than programming and art.

As long as it's not blue human and red human and yellow human with fur I don't really care, but if I have to chose:

1. Wookie

2. Droid

3. Barabel

Oh, and Vongs please (though I don't know if they existed at this time, they don't really fit into this era anyway)

1. Nautolan

2. Togruta

3. Ithorian
