Interview with BioWare on the introduction of the Cathar player race with patch 2.1 in SWTOR

Patch 2.1 cusatomizations is just around the corner and BioWare were kind enough to invite GamingFace to a late night meeting in which they divulged top secret information about the new features that will be availale to players with the patch. Today the NDa has been lifted on the first juicy bit of information that we've all been dying to find out about - the new player race, Cathar. Republic players were introduced to the Cathar race early on in their class missions on both Tython and Ord Mantell. Imperial players may have come across the Cathar race on Balmorra. One of the Bounty Hunter's opponents early on in the piece is a Cathar. This cat-like race is a common sight in MMOs. People seem to have a weird fascination with the cat-look. The other way that SWTOR gamers may have come across the Cathar race is with the Trooper companion, Aric Jorgan. This Cathar companion will be getting a full facelift with patch 2.1 and GamingFace will be doing a complete "Many Looks Of' post with all the options as soon as possible, so that you can see all of the available customizations. Cory Butler from BioWare answers 7 questions below about the Cathar race and what it offers players in SWTOR.
