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

i think that one of the greatest armor choices that have been made available is the droid body parts. I made such a suggestion back in 2012 here http://www.swtor.com/community/showt...550006&page=64 (page 64) and probably not the first one to suggest it.

My first character was a cyborg and I was happy at first, but then I began to long for other additions for that class. Facial implants was simply not enough. The first new species, cathar, i wasn't very thrilled about, but it grew on me and I actually changed the species of my cyborg to cathar. That was before the droid type armor was being released.

1. Togruta
2. Nautolan
3. Devaronian

1. Nautolan
2. Nikto
3. Togruta

While I voted for 3 distinctively exotic species rather than recolors (I like playing something VERY different than RL, and I consider a lot of aliens beautiful), Kiffar was a toss up for my 3rd choice.

Why?

I play one human character out of 12. One! And I could not create what I thought would be normal & popular choices. Originally, I thought of making a martial arts inspired Jedi, but… no Oriental faces for a female character. I did the best possible approximation, but I am not at all that crazy about it. Certainly not one of those awesome Oriental she-warrior faces I envisioned.

After playing with her a little, I thought, well, maybe I will add tats to her face and change her hairs-style and make her a Kiffar (Okay, I caught up on Clone Wars and was blown away by Vos’ charisma). And… guess what? Female humans aren’t allowed the tattoos. Only garish make-up. Oh, well. And even males did not have much choices that would pass for Kiffar tats.

That’s why I would have bought Kiffar as a separate species, to simply bring along customizations that lack on vanilla humans, WITHOUT crowding the vanilla human options. I am sure people deal with the same lack of choices in regards to Echani and stuff.

Plus, to tell the truth, if I decided to play a Kiffar, I'd rather have it say Kiffar on my char sheet than a human, and then I pretend that it's a Kiffar. For the record, I like it that species choice is purely cosmetic save for the humans that do get a hefty bonus!

Sorry, I only need one vote.

Voss.

Morning update.

Aye, demand for playable droids has been pretty consistent since the game itself was announced. Glad to see a few dividends coming to that crowd, even if it is six years later.

Thanks so much for reviving this! Last I heard bioware had it narrowed to 3 dif species but haven't heard anything since for next.

Mine would be

1: Zeltron
2: Bothan (played a bothan entertainer in SWG, miss it
3: Last ones a tough one but... Faleen I suppose

Might you find a link for that? I would love to update the developer statements topic with anything about this!

I would like to vote for theese three.

1. Arkanian
2. Codru-Ji
3. Echani
