    Default Four New Playable Species Join The Old Republic

    Miraluka


    Mirialans


    Sith Pureblood


    Zabraks



    BioWare has revealed that each class in Star Wars: The Old Republic will have an optional non-human species option, introducing the Force-wielding Mirialans, Miraluka, Zabraks, and Sith Purebloods.

    We've already seen the Rattataki Bounty Hunter, Chiss Imperial Agent, and Twi'lek Smuggler. Now BioWare broadens its horizons with four new playable species, each assigned to one particular character class.

    On the Sith side of things, we've got Darth Maul's people, the Zabrak, making the Sith Inquisitor look good with their facial tattoos and horns. A lovely choice, but not as lovely as playing a Sith Warrior of Sith Pureblood descent. Either way you still get nifty red skin.

    If you hate red, why not play a Mirialan Jedi Consular? You still get face tattoos, so you can pretend you're a Zabrak that tastes like wintergreen instead of cinnamon. Or just forget about color altogether and roll a Miraluka Jedi Knight, sporting a sexy blindfold because you've evolved to the point where you see your surroundings through the Force.

    It's interesting to see BioWare seemingly limiting the race you can play by class though, isn't it? I suppose it's a means to keep the individual storyline for each character class personal, without having to create a different dialog tree for every race/class combination in the game.

    i honestly think it will be balanced, from polls and threads every one seems to be against being a jedi and wants to be a bounty hunter.

    not only that but jedi are kind of the "tank" class in the game so that will scare a lot of people off eventually

    If I ever get this game I'd play as a Bounty Hunter. Probably cuz of playing as one in my Star Wars Galaxies free trail. Jedis on Galaxies seemed poopy. o-o

    It's BioWare and it's Lucas Arts. If you're expecting f2p, well... Good luck.

    Also, ever since the game was announced I've been wanting to roll a Bounty Hunter but it seems that's the case for everyone. Might have to go Smuggler D;

    Player housing is in, although so far all that's been confirmed is your ship aspect of it a la Mass Effect and KOTOR. Whether there will be housing on the ground we'll have to wait and see, fingers crossed though.

    From the sounds of things Space Combat will be a sideshow if you like, they've plenty of time to expand on the information for it though.
