I wouldn't say I was that attached to my female smuggler but it was satisfying to see the end of the smugger class story. I started playing a smuggler in beta and it took me at least two goes in the full game to get there.
I've played a little of all the classes in the game and I think I prefer to play the Republic rather than the Empire. Though I've played two LS Sith which is interesting.
I usually preferred my Imperials, which I didn't expect going in, but I enjoyed most of the class stories on the Imperial side better. Though I was probably most attached to my Jedi Shadow (polite name for a Jedi assassin
). Mirialan, and I used the tall, strong body type. Everyone commented on how striking she was, then I'd hide the head gear and they'd discover she was bald and freak out...for about a minute, then go, wait, she still looks good without hair.
I've had friends going through chemo, which made me think about creating bald female characters who are still attractive.
