Alkonium Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Finally, screenshots of a planet other than Tython or Korriban! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 "a place where more civilized people threaten to send their children if they misbehave." That made me laugh. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Finally, screenshots of a planet other than Tython or Korriban! Yep, and it is about time... Looks good - it will be nice to have an all-new planet to explore. Here's hoping for many, many more! But...why do they call it merely 'Hutta', I wonder?

jrrtoken Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I suppose BioWare isn't too well versed in canon. Either way, it looks pretty good, although it's close proximity to Nar Shaddaa might make the plot seem similar to KotOR II's iteration of that planet. Either way, the stylized realism really seems to shine with the Hutts: they look fat, vile, and general unappealing: Just like they should be.

SW01 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The article explains it. "Current Underworld slang has shortened the name to a simple ‘Hutta’" Huh. Fair enough - a little odd, but whatever. Adding 'Nal' must cost more money... Anyhow, it should be an intriguing world, seeing it has had so much mention and so little screen time. I hope the Evocii get a look-in at some point, too. Maybe Ryloth will be next? Hsskor/Trandosha? I would think Nar Shaddaa will be a given if Nal Hutta is in.

I would think Nar Shaddaa will be a given if Nal Hutta is in. Ryloth would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi_christian Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hoepfully they wil add new planets in the future. I mean: when the game is out already, they add new content through DLC/Expansions/Updates.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Finally, something other than Korriban or Tython. Nice screenshots as well. Wonder why they chose to shorten Nal Hutta to just Hutta, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstommylee Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 My guess probably that's what it was called during the particular time line for tor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW01 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'd still recommend a shower/exfoliation after leaving the planet And a 'Burn Robes' option. Just imagine the sort of quests...dark side especially. I can see Mafia: Star Wars happening on this planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Maybe the in the timeframe of the KOTOR era, Hutta hasn't been given the Nal part yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Kreesh Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Um, I think Atton referred to Nal Hutta as the "arm pit of the galaxy", in Kotor2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Neat place. For now. Maybe the in the timeframe of the KOTOR era, Hutta hasn't been given the Nal part yet... Nice theory, but no. Nal Hutta is meantioned in Kotor 2 with it's complete name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Maybe the in the timeframe of the KOTOR era, Hutta hasn't been given the Nal part yet... The article explained that it's smuggler slang of the time. Which most people seem to be using as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I can see people shortening it down in speech, especially if Nar or Nal are articles of speech (like a, an, or the) rather than nouns. People who live in New York City call it "New York" or just "the City", they don't usually use the full name. Kansas City gets shortened down to KC, Indianapolis to just 'Indy', and so on. I can see Nal Hutta being shortened down to just 'Hutta' in everyday speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
