Slowpokeking Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) As for the Imperial side my observation is 1.Human: No need to say 2.Pureblood: A lot 3.Zarbrak: They can play all classes 4.Chiss: Very popular in agents. 5.Twilik: Not many, they are pretty but you can only play inquisitor before legacy unlock them. 6.Rattataki: Very few Edited October 6, 2012 by Slowpokeking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubernetic Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just as a point of technicality... these are species... not races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOULCASTER Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Republic Side, 90% of the player base are human Obi-Wan Kenobis Imperial Side, 90% of the player base are red zabrak darth mauls ....this is what happens when you have little to no racial diversity in the game and have straight LOCK OUTS of certain races playing certain classes. SUPER dumb design. Edited October 6, 2012 by SOULCASTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogol Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Just as a point of technicality... these are species... not races. They are? The technical difference is that species can't cross-breed. Humans can't breed with others? I don't know, just wondering :-) Edited October 6, 2012 by Yogol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaisernick Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Just as a point of technicality... these are species... not races. well i wouldn't class cyborgs as races since they are more or less humans. id say chiss are very popular for Bh and agents, agents especially since the voice i feel fits them like a glove.

I don't know, just wondering :-) With Sith: Yes, all the pureblood are human/sith hybrid. With Zabrak: Yes, both Maul and Savage are human/zabrak hybrid.

Talahar Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Let me see: My main is a Twi'lek Inquisitor lady. My Agent is a cyborg. My Bounty Hunter is a Human, because my smuggler was a human. (Legacywise they're twins ) And one of my Sith Warriors is Chiss, via legacy unlock, the other is pureblood. (only level 1 because I never play her) Should I ever make a second Inquisitor I wanted to make him Rattataki, but for some reason male rattataki sith inquisitors don't get the special slave brandings, unlike females. At least last time I checked.... What can you do, clichés work, so you see more of some combinations than of others. And humans are the oone of the most popular species in almost every game, so no surprises there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blighboy Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My main trooper is a mirialan, but I find it hard to want to make any of my other characters anything other than human. It doesn't change anything at all, other than for the most part unnecessarily limiting character customization with some of them (seriously, let me give my alien character's beards).

Andrellma Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hm....looking at my characters...

Extras: Sith Warrior: Male Sith Sith Inquisitor: Male Zabrak Honestly, I'm not sure if I ever see myself playing a Rattataki or Mirialian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RixoFutu Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 2x Sith Pureblood - Jedi Guardian / Sith Juggernaut. 1x Chiss - Imperial Agent. 1x Human - Gunslinger. 1x ted Zabrak - Sith Inq. I agree that "Darth Maul" visual is very common. But that's isn't players fault. We have very, very limited options how to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSaberMaster Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My characters: Republic: Shadow: Male Zabrak Sentinel: Male Mirialan Scoundrel: Male Human Imperial: Powertech: Male Chiss Sorceror: Male Rattataki Sniper: Male Rattataki My next character, if I decide to re-sub, would be a Sith Pureblood Marauder. That would round out the characters I wanted to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeckoOBac Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My main is a Zabrak commando, mostly in honor of my old SWG character, though I think it fits well. I have twilek scoundrel, as they are often part of the underworld... A zabrak sentinel, in theory he's my commando's brother. My shadow tank is mirialan... I kinda dislike humans but my powertech is (IIRC) human, but mostly because the choices were quite limited in that regard. My sniper is cyborg (gotta love the eye implants/shades, they just fit so well for the sniper). I have, ofc, one sith pureblood inquisitor. If/when I'll make a warrior I'll probably buy chiss and make him that way. I'll probably, sooner or later, make a miralukan guardian. I don't care for rattataki at all and I, most likely, won't care about cathar either (not that races are important anyway, and sure as hell I won't make another character just to play a cathar. I'd make a Selkath guardian immediately though, or a Mon Cal anything ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleCliff Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So far I've got Human, Sith Pureblood, Cyborg and Miraluka characters. Eventually I want them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbuterx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) My main is a zabrak sith warrior (female Darth Maul, ******es!). My next character is going to be a mirialan bounty hunter, because green girls are sexy! (Just ask Captain James T. Kirk).

Stenrik Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Scoundrel: Male Mirialan (bodytype 1) - hispanic/caucasian face features (Main character, first) Powertank: Female Rattataki (bodytype 3) - african face features (Other main) Assassin: Male Inquisitor (type 2) - asian face features Vanguard: Female Republic Zabrak (bodytype 3) - asian face features Sniper: Female Cyborg (bodytype 4) - african features Sentinel: Male Republic Zabrak (bodytype 4) - caucasian face features Juggernaut: Female Mirialan (Bodytype 3) - my scoundrel's sister When Cathar come out, gonna have a male Cathar sage and female Cathar commando. Anyway as you see I like variety. I also like playing the least-played races. (My 2 geared mains are mirialan and rattataki.) I included face features because I think that's a good way to differentiate you from other players, not just by species choice. I've noticed most people pick the same few Caucasian faces for their characters. Also, very few people play female body type 3, but I really like it. I have 3 of 'em so far.
