Does race matter

star-wars-the-old-republic

Is there any differences between races except for looks?

I haven't been able to find any information on this so I am leaning towards it doesn't matter, but I can't find any confirmation on this either.

Bioware have confirmed that there will be "active social" differences between the races, but there isn't anything that will affect the gameplay, just cosmetic differences.

Here's a list of the social abilities as we know of them at the moment:

  • Human - Rally: Rallies nearby allies.

  • Miraluka - Sense Force Alignment: Senses the target's alignment with the Force.

  • Twi'lek - Parlor dance: Perform an unique cultural dance.

  • Zabrak - Inspire loyalty: Inspires loyalty from nearby allies.

  • Mirialan - Focusing Ritual: Undergo a focusing ritual to rest and recuperate spirit.

  • Cyborg - Scan target: Scans target with a critical cybernetic eye.

  • Sith - Punish: Punish your companion for his or continued failures.

  • Rattataki - Shadowbox: Perform a series of mock blows, blocks and counters, warming up for the fight to come.

  • Chiss - Salute: Prompts nearby allies to stand at attention.
