It says a lot that the story and character development elements of SWTOR kept me hooked on the game in spite of it being in a setting that is very alien to me (no pun intended.) BioWare isn't resting on their laurels when it comes to developing an engaging MMO, so I can't wait to start playing this game when it's released. If you were hoping for a less superficial opinion about this game, I'll leave you with this: While I'm not a Star Wars fan, I am crazy about BioWare's RPGs. So even if you're set on being a boring human, you won't look like a clone for long. There are few other MMOs which can claim that level of uniquenes. The saving grace for SWTOR's humans is that the gear to be earned, found, or purchased for both you and your in-game companions is varied (including a few questionable items, like the booty shorts I stumbled across) with nearly no recycling or recolouring done. SWTOR's humans are still miles ahead of that in terms of customization, but they just don't pop like the aliens. This is where so many MMOs fall short giving players a choice between four different hairstyles and nothing else just doesn't cut it. Yet in almost every MMO, we strive to make sure that we stand out from the crowd, and to not be just another lowbie in the same lowbie gear as everyone else. Avatar appearance is an afterthought for plenty of gamers, while character profiles, backstory, and abilities take precedence. Of course not everyone creates their characters the way I do. Why would I ever make a human avatar when I could make any of these other awesome races: Some humans can have facial tattoos, but if they're in more militaristic classes (where tattoos seem to be forbidden) they can end up looking pretty vanilla, compared to their embellished alien friends. I could go on and on about the different, striking variables: Miraluka eye masks (pictured below), Rattataki piercings, Cyborg facial implants.Īnd then, there are the humans. The alien race customization is not nearly as comprehensive as it is in Star Trek Online, but it still allows for variety. Zabraks like the one on the right can choose different facial markings and hair/horn styles. In addition to common traits like body type, face shape, etc., each race has at least one trait unique to them, and some traits dependent on class.įor example, Twi'leks like the one pictured above can choose different headbands, as well as makeup that affects both their face and headtails. The younger sister of twin brothers Thexan and Arcann, she displayed incredible potential in the Force since early childhood, but was also difficult to control, causing Valkorion to lock her away on Nathema, fearing that she could one day challenge him.
