Alkonium Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ^^And as I recall there is only one racist convo in K2. Yet, in that one, the Jedi Council is all Caucasian Human, unlike K1, which had one Caucasian Human, one Black Human, one Twi'Lek, and one of whatever Yoda is.

StaffSaberist Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Well, the game designers are humans, after all. I'm all for promoting our race vs. a race that doesn't exist. Also, there are plenty of aliens, and there are planets where humans are not the main race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Racer Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ok, don't know if anyone possed this idea, but if there is a particular love interest like in KOTOR 1, why not have the PC race also determine the race of the Love interest character, or charaters if there is more than one like KOTOR 2? Or maybe have a more diverse party and that determines the love interest..... I would personally like to be able to be a Jedi Wookie or Jawa.

Hallucination Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ^^^I don't think that you should limit romantic interest on species. Yet, in that one, the Jedi Council is all Caucasian Human, unlike K1, which had one Caucasian Human, one Black Human, one Twi'Lek, and one of whatever Yoda is. So a group of white people is instantly racist? I don't see that as discrimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ^^Its hard to tell with TSL's graphics. I decided to say that she had a good tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Racer Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I don't think you should limit the love interests either, but a lot of people's objection is "feasibility" I guess. So that would be a good way around it to me.... Anyways, I would say that just because the Handmaiden, Visa, Madalore and the main character all look human, doesn't mean they are anymore similar than a human and a Twi'leks. The planets the different people are from are so far spread it's unlikely they are identical in anatomy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 That's what I meant. RedHawke, can you step up to the plate... again? *Looks Around Nervously* Who? What? Where? Why? How? Â I believe both the Holowan Plugins for KOTOR and TSL have a ton of playable Aliens, I only play Humans and the occasional Twilek when I play!

Emperor Devon Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I don't know about you, but I like to play as my own species. Â And who can picture a lightsaber-wielding Gamorrean in black robes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 And who can picture a lightsaber-wielding Gamorrean in black robes?

Master omega Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 A way you lot have totaly forgot is that if you chose to play as an alien. And the spiecis you are would make it stupid to romance a human. The game just dosent give you the option to click on it to start the flirting etc. But personaly i always wanted to pull a twi'lek female Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine kissing a twi'lek if you were human or the other way around?  *Thinking about it*  I don't really see it happening. Besides it would take more work on the part of the devs to create one alien PC. Maybe you should try it as a modding project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Racer Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 If they did alien races as well, couldn't they just have the game select a random PC head of the opposite sex for that race to be used as the head for the love interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 But then the danger is that story elements involving those characters would have to be more generic and less in depth to accomidate no knowing what the player will choose. Â Besides, alien sex is gross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSaberist Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 ...but personaly I always wanted to pull a Twi'lek female...  ...alien sex is gross...  Quoted for irony, and for a lack of the thought process being taken all the way to the logical conclusion.  Star Wars is not rated X, and it never will be. You will never see even two humans having sex. The closest we've gotten is Ep. III where Padme gives birth to twins (very unrealistically, too). Yes, reproduction is a fact of life. Are the SW characters real? Do they need to eat? To drink? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you need to take a walk in the brisk, cool air of morning. The characters say only what actors say, do what programmers tell them to do. They don't need to eat or drink because they aren't *alive*.  That's my 2¢.

StaffSaberist Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I shouldn't even give that the attention I'm about to, but... Â This thread was meant to be a serious discussion. Where do you see this in the thread: Â Oh, man, that's great! Alien PC's! ROFL! Hahaha! Â Nowhere. Â Sorry to burst your bubbles, but we appear to actually be talking about whether it's a good idea or not. Love interests is a trivial matter, but one that deserves attention. The idea of interracial sex is not deserving of a glance. This thread was not intended to be a joke. If I appeared to be flamebaiting, or flaming, sorry. Didn't mean it that way. But come on, was sex even an issue in KotOR I? Or II? The answer has to be no. Â Before you become a smart-alek and tell me that of course sex was an issue, don't want a male PC to fall in love with Carth and Bastila. That's gender, in this case, not sex. Â I don't want a flame war, here. It'll be the end of this thread. But it seems ridiculous that we would even have that in KotOR. Do you really want a 'Hot Coffee' mod in KotOR III? If so, make it yourself. I'm not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master omega Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 The issue is that a large number off pepole would like the Choice to play as an alien without needing to mod the game e.g jedi academy. It made no diffrence to that game what race you played as in that. And to be honest i dont agree that the romance issue is much off an issue at all. Because even the romance in kotor between Reven & bastila/Carth was never much more than flirting. And lets be honest only just enhanced the storyline slightly. And none off use whant interactive sex exspicaly in starwars . Â But the topic is playing as an alien which personaly im all for.How many off use read review's off kotor 1/2 and read that haveing the choice would have been good. I know i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffSaberist Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 OK, I never said it wasn't an issue, the romance thing. I meant it was trivial compared to the plot of the story. OK, that aside, if the romance is the only thing in the way, then it would probably have been wise of me to stick to my guns early on and say Yeah, aliens are fun to play as. (I know, I'm flip-flopping like John Kerry.) And when I said "Mod it in", I was referring to the issue of sex, not romance. Â Anyway, um... *Raises hands in air* Please don't flame me! I'm too sick to ar - ar - AR-GUE! (achoo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master omega Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 saberstaff dont worry about it. i think everone got kind off carrerd away with this thread. It's just that alot off people think it was something that the game was missing and its not just the romance issue that caused problems with the idea off haveing alien Pc. Thats just the one everone seamed to focus on LOL And yeah i know what you ment by ''Mod it in'' i just dont what that ether. I think in the most part we all agree Aliens good Alien sex bad LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 What does everyone have against interspecies romance? Boba Fett's wife wasn't the same species as him, Rystall's half-human, and some Ishi Tib women were sexually attracted to Luke Skywalker in Dark Nest I. So I say, if it can happen in the movies, the books, and the comics, it can happen in the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master omega Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah i know it can happen in the books, movies etc . But the main issue is not that Alien romance /sex Whatever. That was just an issue people brought up to say that it would be difficult to play as an alien. Everone seams to have got off topic here. i think someone should start a thread about alien Romance because thats what this thread kina turned into.
