Thread: Attn Tailor Correspondent -- Help a Trando out: Boots and gloves please?
Pappi,that argument would hold if it were two years ago. At launch it did make sense. It was a far different game than it is now. The racial bonuses that we get are pretty insignificant in todays game though. If you remember, wookies also were unable to wear boots and gloves but they added them in quite a while back. Now wooks get 7 pieces of clothing to put SEAs in just like all other races... except for Trandoshans. So you see the argument that it's a choice you make by selecting this species is, well, bogus. Thanks for the post though 
the argument might not be reasonable, but it's not something we can change... I'm simply letting you know that they've taken the suggestion before and refused.

I agree with Gyopi. What you have to realize is that LucasArts monitors this game and makes sure that changes conform to the Star Wars canon. Quite simply, in the movie etc Trandos don't wear boots and gloves, so they can't do it in the game.
LucasArts has done a very poor job really, afterall not to knock all the Jedi but in this timeframe in canon there were only 2 Jedi ( Yoda and Luke, three if you count blue glowy Ben, four if you count Leia's potential which is not realised until well after this time period though it can be argued she used the force to kill Jabba the Hutt) and there were only 2 Sith ( Darth Vader and his Emperor). We did not see in any movies or even any EU books from this time period, meaning the original trilogy,any battles fielding any force users besides these6 .
However you may be correct, they may be being sticklers to the Trandoshan boots/gloves and Wookie boots for whatever reason. At the same time the argument that it violates canon is really a poor one when we have such large violations as to make the point mote.
( A few other examples. Agrilat was not a swamp on Corellia, it was a Swamp World in the Corellian Sector , Ranks do not follow that recognized in the books and canon for either the Alliance or the Empire, The Rebel HQ was never on Corellia...after the destruction of Alderaan the Alliance made a decision to place their HQ on unpopulated worlds so as to avoid endangering the population....after Yavin it was on Thila, until that base was discovered as well when it was moved to Hoth. )

Well, I guess I could have my facts wrong. But I could swear that wooks didn't have gloves at launch. Then they put in a patch that added them along with a lot of other wookie garb. As far as boots go, don't they have something that looks like shin guards? Not boots per say, but they serve the same purpose as far as game dynamics go.
Anyway, the purpose of throwing that in there was to illustrate that the devs could add boots and gloves for trandoshans if they wanted.
