jediknightmiles Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Why don't people play any of the other races much? You never see a Cathar or Miraluka running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetSanity Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) The only human character I have is my Smuggler, unless you count cyborgs as humans, then you can add my BH. JC: Cathar JK: Miraluka SW: Sith pureblood SI: Twi’lek IA: Chiss Haven’t made a trooper yet, no idea which species I’m going to use there. Probably one of the ones I haven’t used yet. Keep in mind that only the blindfold distinguishes Miraluka from humans, so you might not notice a Miraluka if you’re not paying attention.

Ld-Siris Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 All my characters are human and except a couple that are chiss. I’m just not a fan as playing as an alien. Go humans!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trintric Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I play mostly humans just because they have the most options for a unique appearance during creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I play humans, pureblood Sith, cyborgs, Miraluka and the occasional Twi'lek, Togruta, and Chiss. Why? Because I like to be pretty. No offense, but I don't care for green or fur. Does that make me colourist? Furist? I dunno. I just like what I like.

Goreshaga Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Among my 8 main characters, my JK and SW are humans. SI is Pureblood JC is "light" Zabrak Trooper is Mirialan IA is Chiss Smuggler is Rattataki BH is "dark" Zabrak, but i'm not that convinced (i'd like new skin colours, like yellow, and a real yellow, not orange, and some new tatoos, because the only one i like is the same as Akaavi, which is distracting) I also have a second JC and a second smuggler who are Twi'leks. And a second BH and a second SI who are Chiss And i really don't like Miralukas I had a Cathar trooper, but not that fan, i like the specy, but not as PC, they look too different compared to the NPCs, especially the eyes. I have a JC who is a Togruta too, but it's not my favourite specy as PC, i'd love to be able to play a Nautolan though Edited January 17, 2019 by Goreshaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoNonSoEVero Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've played humans, Twi'leks, Miralians, Sith and Zabraks. I have never really wanted to play as any of the others. I wish that the cybernetic implants would just be a separate cosmetic option instead of a separate species because IMHO having an implant or fake arm or leg doesn't really qualify one as a 'cyborg.' To me a cyborg would be someone like Darth Vader or Draahg in the Sith Warrior story who can't live without the cybernetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicphoto Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Because humans have so much variety in their customization. I always want to do alien but I always struggle when making them, its harder to find a unique look that I like. Like every time I try doing a twilek for example, I feel it reminds me to one npc. So my mains on all classes are mostly human, one cyborg and one chiss. The chiss at least does have some decent options enough. The other thing is humans you can do any class of, where as other aliens you need to pay the unlock to use that alien in that specific class. In the case of cathar and togruta, they can be bought with cartel so you will definitely see less of those. Though you might see more now since they went on sale not so long ago and I made a BH cathar thanks to that. But I am still trying to at least make some alien alts now, but the other issue is the voice, sometimes the voice just doesn't fit so well with the species.

Ardrossan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I alternate between new races every time I make a character. However, during the last merge I lost half my characters [about 25], and when I picked and chose the ones that would survive, a lot of the aliens didn't get picked, so it's very lopsided now.

VelvetSanity Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Haha as mostly empire side my Marauder would probably respond with a light saber through the gut. Assuming your race has a gut in the same spot humans do. Assuming your marauder could catch her off guard, which doesn’t happen in the presence of humans. She has quite a few very good reasons to hate humans in general. Any that she doesn’t absolutely loathe and completely distrust are very notable exceptions.

Ylliarus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I have a self imposed compulsory rule I can only have 1 human character, which is my Sith Assassin. Twi'lek and Sith Purebloods are my favourite races and most numerous amongst my characters, followed by Cathar and Miraluka.

SithKoriandr Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Rattataki are bald. May not like the tattoo options either. Zabrak have no good hair options. :/ Personally, I haven't liked a single Pureblood I've made. Mirialan I just haven't gotten into, but I feel a male on of these is what the Smuggler is supposed to be. Miraluka I feel have terrible mask options and I'd like more hair options. Cyborg and Cyborg are my go to races myself, with Human if I really want the tattoo or scar option not allowed on the others. Though I may have rerolled the humans. I do have one twi'lek, because I like their dark side look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenipher Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have two SW, both human. I have two IAs, one human and the other is Chiss. My Republic trooper is human. I'm just usually not a fan of playing aliens but for my Chiss IA it works nicely. She's also the only character who doesn't have a romance because she's already in love with a man she can't be with.

Yeldah_ Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Why don't people play any of the other races much? You never see a Cathar or Miraluka running around. I think there are restrictions if you have not unlocked races with cartel coins. I think you once couldn't play as a sith pure-blood on Jedi classes for example.

Genaya Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Because most of the alien races are just humans with different skin colours and less customization options: My Sith Warrior is a human, because human, cyborg and purebood are the only races that really fit the Sith Warrior's Korriban story arc but human gets the cool eye tattoo as Sith Warrior. My Sith Inquisitor is human, because human is the only race that can get the face model I wanted for him. My bounty hunter is human, because I wanted the BH-Human specific face tats. Mirulaka are just humans with blindfolds. Cyborgs are just humans with cybernetics. Zabrak are just humans with horns and bad hairstyles. Twilek and Togruta can't wear helmets or hoods. I don't like the Cathar... at all, and never bothered to unlock them from the CM. Etc. Normally in MMOs I try to create characters of every race for flavour and variety, but the racial options in SWTOR outside of Humans, Purebloods, Mirialans and Chiss don't really appeal to me, and in most cases there are better customization options for Humans than the latter three.

Kraysk Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Don't know, i don't play humans. I personally think that playing humans in SW setting is pretty meh and boring. Most of my characters are Zabrak (imp/dark version). One of my sorcerers and one of shadow's are Twi'lek, the other sorcerer is Chiss, the other shadow and one of maradeurs are Miraluka, and my agent and my JK are Togruta. Oh, and my trooper, the only male char i have, is Cathar. I didn't liked any of humans and purebloods i've made and deleted them all soon after creation. Humans are pretty average and boring and purebloods just look ugly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldVengeance Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) My main Jedi Knight is human, but most of my other characters are not. I'm a particularly big fan of my Sith Pureblood Warrior. I also really loved the designs I came up with for my Miraluka Consular and my Zabrak Agent. It seems I'm not the only one, because I remember being hit on when playing as them. Of my other main characters, my Smuggler is a Twi'lek, my Trooper is a Zabrak, my Inquisitor is also a Pureblood, and my Bounty Hunter is a Cyborg. I used a Cather for an alternate DS Knight. I have more humans for alternate versions of my main classes. Edited January 18, 2019 by OldVengeance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AureliaSulis Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 All my girls are from one human family plus their grown-up children. All their partners are human males, although my Consular thinks it is a shame that Zenith never was romantically interested in her because she considers him rather handsome.

ImmortalLowlife Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have 40 characters. Most are Sith purebood or Chiss. I might have about 15 that are human, but I have at least one of every species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limariko Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have played each of the races to count for the Legacy unlock because I'm a cheapskate. Only reason I have the Cathar unlock was it was a thank you gift for running a friend's brother through a bunch of stuff and crafting him a load of gear. The only ones I keep around now are: JK-Sith Pureblood JK- Cathar JC- Sith Pureblood SW- Sith Pureblood SI- Sith Pureblood IA- Chiss BH- Red Zabrak BH- Cyborg Trooper-Cyborg I freely own up to my bias towards Sith Purebloods. Just wish they had more options for the skin jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
