Species & Character Creation

Yeah, they said that you can equip your companion with different "packs" like DPS dealer, healer, CC or Tank. It might be tanking companion and DPS (Commando) Trooper. I know that this Bounty Hunter girl companion have something like stun dart for example.

@SS: I'm sure some of our fellow EPOCHian will agree to have you as a NPC if it pleases you

If they make Zeltron a playable race I'll be happy =3 An overly attractive and sexual pheromone bomb that live for partying or fighting, hell yeah?!

Ftm though my only concern is whether Fray should be a human or a kickass awesome Chiss, but I won't be able to decide before I get to the character creation screen =(

Well technically Wooliepedia puts Zeltron down as 'Near Human' (SOURCE), so you could just do the same as I'm doing with Aleina and use the "human" option then fiddle with the customization a bit. If they allow outlandish skin tones for humans (such as blues, reds and purples) you're pretty much sorted!

But I still want an option to ensnare my enemies with my womanly pheromones =(

Especially that BioWare mentioned about altering conversation options under influence of gender/race/and past choices of the character!

Indeed! "Jedi mind tricks eh? Well have a taste of THIS! *boob flash*"

"... those aren't the boobs we're looking for."

Incidently, not sure how 100% accurate it is (as with most SWTOR info ) but Wookiepedia have the following list as playable races:

* Chiss
* Human
* Miraluka
* Mirialan
* Rattataki
* Sith Pureblood
* Twi'lek
* Zabrak

However we also know from a reliable source *cough* BETA *cough* of at least one other playable 'race' (though its technically a modification on an existing race).

Well, at least Dark Side got totalitarian bluebells instead of tattooed Broccoli. I'm not the biggest fan of Chiss, but Mirialan?! Green faced jedi monk with ink splatters on fugly face - can you fail more? -_-


I hierd U liek Broccoli?


Sir, according to Sith Empire Protocol "3737 Please leave the the Empire sector.
Repaint or GTFO!

You said brocoli, master Qui-Gon?
(Said note: This horrible green thing is (in French) called a brocoli and it's pretty discusting!)

Meh, moar like


Your remains shall decorate my wall!

Nice

These are nots the droids you're looking for!

Now will anybody get what I was meaning?

what?

Ohhhh Mr Smudge you are so on the right track

Ah now I'm with ya! You mean the one that Creed might become yeah?

Exactly. *taps nose knowingly*

Just eyed this thread on the official boards which claims that the latest EU PC Gamer mag has the final species listing.

Read on for more info..

Spoiler:

If there's truth in this then I have to say I'm VERY dissapointed. Star Wars has far more interesting species to offer than those listed, even if I do like 2 or 3 of them on there and the idea of a Chiss or Cyborg BH is appealing. Where's Togruta for example? They're pretty darned Human looking I'd say.

Yup, thats the list I've been working with for a while.

Part of the major problem is that Star Wars has hundreds of Species (245 to be exact) and most mmos have a total of 6-8 races at launch, and it'd be a pain to fit even a fraction of them in. I agree that they are some pretty bizzare choices in some cases.

While I'll admit one of the races isnt a race at all (!) and that I'm dissapointed that most of my favourites aren't there, I still think 9 is a pretty good listing for an mmo at launch.

Yeah I guess. I just thought by the way they were banging on about how customizable our characters would be we'd see a lot more. To miss out iconic species like as I said before Togruta though is a bit bonkers!

I'm more afraid about character customisation, be it the body customisation or the armor/clothing, than of the various species. BW told us we won't have many species because of their storytelling policy. Well, they didn't but that's how I understood it.
