And this is who I have for the Exile:
Granted this game may be a product of it's time but I find it odd that the players has to choose their player from a selection of pre-made faces. Taking into account the extraordinary range of customization options that proliferate in gaming today, it thus becomes hard for the player to come up with something unique - and not something that many other people would've done already.
Okay sure, Jade Empire did the same thing with pre-made characters but considering the setting of that game, you'd want a character that fits right in - something that will, naturally, go against the nature of customization - not to mention the tendency to challenge the rules that gamers tend to do.
That being said, this may not be the first Exile of colour in the history of the Sith lords but it;s one I've chosen. Why? I felt it was something different. Yes this may all seem contradictory so let me explain: One common complaint I've heard about Star Wars, or at least the original trilogy, is it's short on female characters and black characters - indeed, one gets the feeling that Rey and Finn in the Force Awakens was an attempt to address this.
So why not have a black Jedi? Why not have a person of color heading a group of misfits and cruise around in the Ebon Hawk, having adventures in the galaxy? Why not have a Jedi of colour who has significance that it makes the Jedi Council worried?
Why not have a person of color being the one in charge?
I mean, Star Trek (DS9) did it....
