Lord_Vessen Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I have heard rumors about spices and such. Spices are like drugs in Star Wars. Will they have this in the game? I think they won't because its a PG-13 game. Also it would be funny though to see an NPC hopped-up on drugs, lol. (Couldn't find a hopped-up on drugs smiley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterBugg Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Spices would be interesting, and even simple plants that changed your attributes would be cool... like herbs and such for healing, and maybe even some sort of "upper" like a mint or something that would recharge your mind pool... Then again, while getting your wookie messed up souds fun, there would have to be useful reasons to have them in the game... perhaps a cook could poison food, or something like that. They removed the botanist profession right? Maybe dealing with issues like this is part of the reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I don't think it will be included, but it think it would be very useful especially for smugglers and other criminals. BTW the plural of spice is just spice in SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 in SWG drugs will be regarded as "food", hence the chef profession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 You must be joking right? Kessel and Ryl Spice considered food? That's a joke. "Excuse me man, can you spare some change so I can get some food.", the phrase now has new meaning in the SWG universe. No longer are the addicts and homeless lieing, they actually mean it.

Thrackan Solo Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 MMM.. good question you can be a smuggler so maybe you can smuggle drugs. And there is Jabba...you know what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterBugg Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Good point about smugglers... in fact, that brings up the question - what exactly is going to be considered contraband? Certain types of raw minerals? Certain types of blasters or fragmentation devices? Data devices containing sensative documents? Jedi apparel seems like it would fit this catagory, but I think that the dev's have already made it clear that you can't just buy a lightsaber and whip it around; only jedi can have them. Then again... maybe that's the sort of thing that you can purchase on the black market as well...? Anyone know how you will go about looking for something illegal? Maybe ask some smugglers if they know sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I think different things will be considered illegal in different areas and planets. For instance, you probably have a much easier time buying a highly powerful blaster rifle on Tatooine, then on lets say Naboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I think Spice is an important part for Smugglers and other not-so-legal jobs. btw, it's Glitterstim, not Kessel spice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessel is a more commonly used term, and actually, isn't glitterstim commonly refered to as Kessel spice? I'll have to check. Uh-oh, can't post anymore, I have finally shown you my true colors via my post count. Muhahahahahahahah!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 In EU, glitterstim is supposed to temporarily give you psychic powers, so it'd be real useful in-game. But, like someone said before, the game is probably gonna be PG-13, and drugs are baaaad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 "You wanna get hi?" "Noo crack man. Drugs are bad!" "Bullsheeet." How is Glitterstim bad? It doesn't get you high or anything. Jus a few moments with psychic ability to reveal the truth in trials, they use it for some kind of mind therapy, use it to track down traitors/spies, and it has other medical uses. Then there's the "Dark Side." It can be used to uhh.... forcibly read someone's mind. . . I dunno much of the illegal uses. i think it was made illegal cuz the Empire wanted it all for themselves. Then the smugglers started smuggling them out. Andris Spice is an addictive spice that can enhance your reflexes, give you raging hormones to go on a crazy battle rage, and those body enhancement stuff. I call it the steriod of Star Wars but the effects where off and the user wants more so the get addicted. Then there's Ryll (sp) Spice. It's mined on Ryloth (Twi'lek homeworld). I'm not completely familiar with this one. I know it has medical uses because it said so and in the X-Wing Novels, when the rebels took back Coruscant, the Krytos Plague broke out and to stop it from spreading they had to dipped people in a mix of Bacta and Rull Spce. It somehow stopped it. I'm sure there are illegal uses for it but I don't know them. Basically if you ask me, the spices are illegal mostly because of Supply and Demand. There is little Glitterstim left (in the YJK books time frame) but since this is during the OT, there will be much of it at the time. if they didn't add the spices because of the whole "it's a drug issue" that's stupid. It's just a vdeo game, and besides, it's not like the Spices are real. I hope I have enlightened you with my knowledge of the few Spices that I know about. And no, I'm not a spice dealer Also, if I misspelled anything, oh well, i was typing fast. PS - If you actually read through all that, give yourself a pat on the back PSS - do I get an award for this being my longest post ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 if you looked closely it ssaid MY longest post ever... then again, my speech on GB.com maybe longer. whatever. They also use Glitterstim to help communitcate with aliens, patients that cant hear or sumthing like that, a way to help patients who sufffer from amnesia, and many more legal uses.
