Even though it's possibly that we actually will be able to play as other races than humans, it's not yet 100% confirmed.

If there was only humans to play and all other races were just npc's would you still play the game?

I would probably play it anyway but I would be dissapointed though!

I'd play it still, it's a Bioware game!  I'd be very disappointed though.

Probably not. It would just be weird if all players were humans - and I found the human characters in the KOTORs really dull looking and not very interesting.

I liked being a Bothan in SWG

I can't stand single race games, but this game also has so much promise.  I would be undecided with an inclination to not play.  I recently tried Runes of Magic.  Aside from the game being too hardcore for my tastes, I really had a problem with everyone being human, especially in a fantasy setting.  On top of that, Star Wars is vibrant with alien life forms, it would be strange at best if there were only human PC's.

I want to be a Mon Calamari, and say "It's a trap!" incessantly.

Maybe there won't be all humans, but I think the majority will be humanoid races, even if they're aliens. For instance, Mandalorians.

there are other races ! mandos are one of them ! maybe zabrak and twilek too...but if there are ONLY human.....i will play it ! ;)

I want to play an halfling, but they'll be unlikely ingame :P

Yes, of course. But that would be really weird.

I'm sorry, did you say 'It's crap!'?

And give up any opportunities for racial tension? Forget it.

Personally I would still play it if there were only humans

Only humans to play would make Jack a dull boy.

I really wouldn't care since I'm gonna play a human regardless of what else they have.

Wouldn't care. Conan only has humans and it's never bothered me.

i dont care what they do. i can get a pile of 10 day old cow shit when i order the box and im still going to play this game.

LOL

Gamers have turned into a desperate bunch

I'd surely play wheter other races are included or not.

 I would still play it.

I'd actually respect Bioware for taking what would be such a controversial move lol  It would actually be a step toward keeping the feel of the movies since the main characters are all humans.   

But I think it's likely they will allow people to play the more humanoid races at least rather than face the slew of complaints from others that will result if they don't.
