why can't we play as a droid bounty hunter :/ would be nice to rp a droid like IG-88

I'd like to play an Iron Knight or Assassin Droid.

Wookies!!!!!!!!!

Pretty please Togruta

 

That would make me really really happy!

My dream would be Echani, but well, I'm really sure that won't happen.

 

Anyway, my bet is, that the next race will be one that none suggested/wanted/expected/etc. much like the Cathar race itself.

 

But that's just my opinion, hope I'm wrong... again.

So we know Cathar will be the next race available. Two questions.

 

1. What race would you most like to see next?

(I pick Nautolans)

 

2. What race do you think Bioware is most likely to release next?

(I guess Togrutans)

Togarians they are big and tough.

My dream would be Echani, but well, I'm really sure that won't happen.

 

but you can create an echani looking char with the current char settings

I would like a Selkath character, there are a few around still, including a Jedi and a member of a group thinking about joining the seperatists.

 

Most likely to release, maybe a wookie, that would get people playing.

Togruta.

 

I really want to make a male jedi knight one.

but you can create an echani looking char with the current char settings

 

I know, I know, that's why I also said, that I'm really sure it won't happen. ^^

But actually, you can't get the hair and eyes silverly/light enough, so best thing I could do to roleplay my "Echani" as hybrid.

Doghar

Voss - Will never happen. Just take a look at the story line surrounding the Voss and you will notice that they aren't aligned with Republic or Empire and that they have no desire to leave they planet and their Mystics.

In the same fashion, we won't be able to play as Rakata or Gree either...

 

Yoda's race - Will never happen per Lucas' order

 

Togruta - very likely and in high demand (+1 from me aswell)

 

Nautulan - more or less the same story

 

Selkath - bit of an underdog but a very nice race imo (+1 from me)

 

Kaleesh - same story...maybe a bit less in demand

 

Jawa, Wookiee, Trandoshian, etc - Will never happen because they can't wear any armor and/or don't speak Basic

 

Anything else?

It was stated a while back, on a website I have forgotten, that there will be no races that differ too dramatically from the human 'norm' (in terms of appearance, mainly). The reason given was that the emphasis upon story would be compromised by playing a race that looked (and behaved?) too differently from our perceptions of humanity. It was claimed that such a disposition would be difficult to identify with by the gamer.

 

I have to admit, my BS detector went into overdrive at this point. I, personally, give more credit to the gamer, and indeed the roleplayer, than to assume that they would be unable to identify with a race such as a Wookiee or Trandoshan. Or that they would not find their immersion in such a character's story to be meaningful.

 

What I believe Bioware were trying to say was that the development of a storyline for these races within the rigid structure already defined by the game, in addition to the itemisation and possible voicing issues, was a headache too big/expensive for them to countenance.

 

I expect that this won't be the last time that the story albatross turns from a good omen into a rotten necktie on the good ship SWtoR.

 

H.

there are lots of trandoshans who can speak basic, so why not?

 

die jeeedaaaiii! tssssk!

My first choice would be to see the Nautolans, but my second choice would easily be the Togruta race. There needs to be good customization for both though. (I would love to just see more species options in general)

I throw my note in with the Togruta and Nautolan. I'd love to make a daughter for my sorceror.

I said Togarians they'd make great Smugglers.

I WANT TO BE A GREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG SLUG THING CRAWLING AROUND SHOCKING PEOPLE OUT OF IT'S TENTACLES!!!!!! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see Togruta.

 

I think BioWare will pick Togruta next.

 

No idea why they went with Cathar...I think. Probably easier to make/model. Big head tails might be difficult.

 

Would also love to see Nautolan, Falleen and Echani. I would drop everything to play an Echani female and model her after Brianna the Handmaiden or a male and model him after a younger Arca Jeth!

I would honestly love to see Kel Dor, Rodians and Trandoshans being added to the mix.

However, all things considered, I feel that BioWare will likely add Togruta somewhere in the near future.

Togruta and Nautolan would be pretty good choices, but on the other hand, Cathar. So who knows what they'll come up with next.

They won't do Yodas race, or heck I doubt any non human structure race, ever. Why do I think that? Because it means they will have to adjust animations, as well as make new ones. They don't have the money to do something like that, at least I doubt it. I hope they do add some non humanoid looking races though, would be cooler that way. But most of them probably won't fit into the current classes anyways.

1. Kaleesh or Togruta

 

2. Togruta

Taung as they make excellent Empire specific choice, to balance the more Republic Cathar.

Ortolan!!

 

lol could you picture the romance side story with that? Nadia...oh master!! Na nu nu na nu!!! rofl

 

But seriously tho, likely will be a basic speaker so they can reuse the voice acting and also more humanoid for the modeling. Although, they do have other modeling for tiny characters like Blizz so you can't rule out a small size toon maybe someday in the future.

1. What race would you most like to see next?

Rodian

 

2. What race do you think Bioware is most likely to release next?

Probably Togruta.
