[Knight] Choosing a Species

[Clusterfact]

So I've finally come to terms with the fact that Nautolans will not be a playable race for the Jedi Knight, but I haven't set my heart on any of the current races yet. Since we do not know any racial benefits, any decisions I make now could change the day of launch, but for background info, I'd like to have a general idea.

I've noticed from the leaked character creation videos that there will be three choices: Miraluka, Zabrak and Human. Have you guys made this decision yet?

Any input would help me out, so even if you aren't a Knight, feel free to chime in.

[Garlen Durakkis]

Human. I want my character to be modeled after me as I normally do.

[Palindora]

As the alternative options are having no eyes or having horns instead of hair I think I'll be sticking with human.

[Kbrury]

Not a Knight but of the three Zabrak interests me the most in terms of lore and thier presence in the SW universe. They are very proud and disciplined, plus I think having horns is cool. :P

[sbeeb]

Human most def.

[ircannibals]

yea human too

[Omega Reaven]

Miraluka and i hope to be able to have a pimp veil.

[Atrayu Yung]

Zabrak or Human. Leaning towards Zabrak.

[Clusterfact]

I think I've decided to go with the Zabrak.

I have found myself in the past wishing I could make an alien character in the previous KotOR titles, and rolling a human for the first character just doesn't make sense in that regard.

I like the Miraluka, especially considering that they are very thoughtful and deliberate. I feel like I could connect with a Miraluka in that regard.

I enjoy the Zabrak for the reasons that Kbrury mentioned earlier and as I've dug deeper, I've found more reasons and inspirations for a character of Zabrak origin.

Again, this could still change, so feel free to post anything regarding the Knight species selection.

I wouldnt let yourself get your hopes so low. In the videos the bars show backgrounds. As for different species, I'm sure that at launch there will be more than three per class, and hopefully more then partly altered humans.

[Kbrury]

The backgrounds are usually for the different species. Like to be Chiss you have to be this background and Miraluka this one. And like ME they will probably affect some Dialogue so that's why I think there will only be 3 at launch. I don't mind only having three as long as they affect my story somewhat.

[Nwahs]

I like making my toons look and act like me, so I'll be a human as well.
