Jedi Consular: Miralukan Female Sage - I don't like the male voice.

Official pictorial depiction is MALE.

But in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure one of the game creators tweeted that those pictures don't mean shit.

They don't. Many of them contradict each other on the same page in different pictures.

Yeah those pictures really don't mean shit.

North should be ashamed. Really expected better from him.

It was so bad I was forced to reroll as a female in 10 minutes.

I thought Nox's female voice was pretty damn awesome.

I am not asserting that the pictorial depictions are FINAL representations of each class but they are official works nonetheless.

In the referred sourcebook, pictorial depictions of playable characters are in pages dedicated to their stories. In the story section of Sith Inquisitor, a pictorial depiction explicitly reveals the character's face and gender is MALE.

It is likely that the pictorial depictions of each playable character have been given a thought and discussed with various contributors to SWTOR content before being given a go-ahead to be published in an important SWTOR sourcebook.

I am inclined to take official pictorial depictions seriously, unless overruled by latest official declarations.

One of the game writers has said that these pictures don't confirm anything: https://twitter.com/hallhood/status/256790273751932931

Plus, a lot of them contradict each other.

The way I look at it, any character that's competent and/or badass is canonically male. 👆

So fans/readers are left to speculate about this topic then. Well, I will not speculate.

I don't see contradictions in the referred sourcebook.

The Imperial Agent, Smuggler, Trooper and Consular pages show both male and female characters in their pictoral depictions. The Warrior shows two different male characters, one overweight.

Apparently the Barsen'thor is portrayed as a human female in one picture and as a twi'lek in another.

But most depictions are consistent in matter of gender. In some cases, playable characters are shown in different attires.

Noted! Yes, contradiction in depiction of this particular playable character.

Did you note Neph's examples above? And how none of them were related to attire?

In Star Wars: The Old Republic: Encyclopedia, genders have been hinted for some classes.

Force-users:

Jedi Knight: Male
Jedi Consular: Female
Sith Warrior: Male
Sith Inquisitor: Male

Others:

Republic Trooper: Not clear
Imperial Agent: Not clear
Smuggler: Male
Bounty Hunter: Not clear

Keep in mind that I have been talking about GENDER only.
