The complete list of races and creatures you will encounter in The Old Republic is much larger and we won’t go in that, but below you can find a few details and screenshots of these playable races.
Note about racial traits:
- Racial traits are subject to change!
- Social skills are just for entertainment and don’t provide any benefit: their point is to provide some sort of interaction with NPCs or other players.

this is gunna be sick pureblood sith inquisitor here i come woop
This is nice and everything, but I do hope they’ll add more as the game goes on *coughNautolancough*
The races and classes listed in this article are still subject to change, in fact at the SW:TOUR recently at the BW offices. A fansite writer claimed the PC gamer writer that wrote this article was an idiot and didnt know what he was talking about.
So take this info with a pinch of salt.
Sith warrior is said to be fine with cybernetic enhancements, the addition of a cyborg race could just be for testing the involved mechanics.
Jawa Bounty Hunter FTW
@Ben, that would be AWESOME!
can´t wait untill my cyborg trooper which ofc is a must try reaches level 50 uhh uhh it´s gonna be alot of fun. but still the nagging is sick. and ofc I speak of the kliché problem. is trooper the right thing for me or is it at all republic side i want to play and if not do I choose BH or IA or even sith, no no no again SPDG same problem different game WHY ohh why, why is this always my problem number one. first ofc I need to have a jedi but reaches lvl 18 and then Ohh! that trooper looks awesome reaches lvl 19 and then meeting with a smuggler qoute ” ohh the smuggler story is awesome probably as fun as trooper but you should try it mate” Well spank me sideways dude did you just have too make me rethink again about which class to choose,
Well I guess he did and thats all cool cause I know he´s having the exact same problem with his smuggler ahh is he alittle too squisy or does trooper deal more dmg and can take more dmg and bla. bla. bla. again SPDG.
All in all I rekon bioware made and awesome game and a very balanced game class wise so I´m gonna play my trooper to lvl 50 and then make a few other charts later on, it´s not like the other classes are gonna disappear soon and so too round things up.
trooper untill 50 and then maybe just maybe I´ll try a smuggler.
cheers trooper harly
they should make more classes such as gungans, geonosians and other alien races, i also play WOW and i still find WOW more fun to play
This races are free to all players at the begin of the game or not ? Because I can only choose between zabrak, human and cyborg.
