Next species up for a community vote?

I don't think they'll put any of the shorter species in as playable ones. They have preset templates for the cutscenes for average human size/shape. Also, neither speak basic

Edit: Which is a shame, would love to play Jawa

There are several cutscenes with Ugnauts It is absolutely doable.

For anyone who missed the livestream the other day, the Devs indicated that the Cathar sold well, they are looking to do another species but have no timetable yet, are considering 3 possible species for the next one. For anyone interested, here's a link the livestream and Dulfy's notes on what was said: http://dulfy.net/2013/06/10/swtor-pa...es/#more-44280

Who are these 3 species? Inquiring minds what to know. One of the main reasons we got the Cathar is because they were deemed a popular community choice in early polling. The Cathar were also put into the CM and we were told future species would depend upon their performance....therefore, leaving the species feature up to us to endorse or not endorse it with our Cartel Coins. As a result, the next species should be a highly community-driven choice. Will there be an official poll to determine which of the 3 will be picked?

Q: SSSP – Super Secret Space Project?
A: We never should have talked about it. Now it just sounds we are mean to you guys by not talking about it. Let me think about it before the meet and greet in 3 days. Let me see if I can give you something about it. Yes it exists and it is something we are doing specifically based on your feedback.

I think he's saying that those cutscenes have a template for where the player will be and what they'll be doing. That template likely requires body types 1-4. For example, you take a dark side choice and shoot a guy in the head, but if your character isn't the right size, your blaster might not be aimed at your enemy in the cutscene.

He's just saying he thinks cutscenes would have to be redone to make a smaller player character possible. And that it could be a prohibitively large amount of work.

Tortuga is what I would like to see. that is all I really have to say about this subject.

But...
All that really stuck to me about that Live Stream was this.


They never should have talked about it?
I do not want to derail the thread to much on this but I think the reason they said this is because they really have nothing. When they first mentioned it they really had nothing at all and did not have plans to even make it. It was just a thought that was on there minds and someone slipped up and said it when they were not supposed to. Then they got all this backlash on it and are now trying to think of something to do. That they still have nothing to show us.
They are probably going to go out and render a picture of a ship to show us at the Meet and Greet to try and make us be quite on it for a bit longer. Sorry to be so negative about it but I think they are just blowing smoke.

Oh and sorry for going off subject on that part of my reply.

Fingers crossed for Nautolan. As the person above me said, Togruta would be nice too

You make a valid point. Maybe if they do another expansion (full sized), they could add smaller races and modify cut scenes.

Even so, neither Ugnaughts nor Jawas speak basic. Jawa speach I might be able to handle for a time, but I would stick a fork in my ears if I had to listen to an Ugnaught for more than one conversation.

My vote is Nautolan then Togruta.
