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.
