KaBuTaR Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 OK - question for you all. You know the Rakata profile thingy on the KOTOR official website... do we/does anyone know anything/have any idea on what the Rakata have to do with the storyline? ie where they fit in, how they affect events, etc...? or is it still too early to know?

TheChosenOne- Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 10 US dollars says the Sith destroyed most of their race or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber_Saber Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I'll take that bet, ChosenOne. (Will forums credits do?) I bet you they have an ancient, powerful technology that the Sith are going to try to get hold of. Some ancient weapon or bio-weapon, something like that. Probably somehow involving the Force. Maybe the Rakata released midi-chlorians into the galaxy or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I think it's still too early to know. It just seems very odd that the entire race was pretty much wiped out. Either they were hunted to extinction, or they suffered some natural disaster, like a species-specific plague that could quite easily have been carried throughout the universe, considering they undoubtedly had interplanetary travel... One thing's for sure...they must have some bearing on the story, or they wouldn't be in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted April 27, 2003 Author Share Posted April 27, 2003 True... and not only are they in the game, they're already in the character profiles. That must mean something Maybe it was something to do with the Sith... like they were trying to get hold of the Rakata's technology... and wiped them out to do so... coz they seemed like something of a peaceful people...?

DarthHalo Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 i don't think that they have died out just thay are hidding. and i also think that they might help you out in someway in game i think i have seen a pic of them somewhere i'll see if i can find it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHalo Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 http://www.lucasarts.com/products/swkotor/G_gallery.html then go to screenshots and number 66 and there is a pic of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I'm using the Rakata wallpaper from the game.....but like Stormy said, it is too early yet to know what their role is and how they're going to effect the game. Welcome to StarWarsKnights.com forums DarthHalo! Couple things.....take a look at the Important information thread in the Ahto Cantina forum. In that is the forum rules here....so please become familiar with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrie Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 The Rakata really have left me stumped about their role in the story. When they were introduced, someone(I believe it was Leemu) pointed out that the biography might be written in the present day(somewhere in the movies), so the Rakata may still be a huge race at this point, and they'll get nearly wiped out somewhere in the game. Then again, it was stated somewhere that the player will find an excavation site early on in the game that'll have a huge role in the story... perhaps it's also Rakata-related? Also, I really have to commend the Rakata wallpaper. I personally think it's amongst the best of them. They seem like such a noble and friendly race in that shot, even though one of them is wielding a double-bladed sword, that you really have to wonder whom would want to destroy such a noble race.

KaBuTaR Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 They do indeed seem like a noble race. Actually, if you look at the screenshot (plus or minus one) that DarthHalo posted, you can see players interacting with them in the real world. Unless that's a flashback or something. as for who destroyed them... who knows... maybe it's something like what happened to the Caamasi (EU - the Hand Of Thrawn series) - they were wiped out because someone wanted to make an example of them. Could be that, or maybe they had some really important technology that they used for peaceful purposes that the baddies wanted... and they refused to hand it over, so said baddies made an example of people who refused them. whatever it really is, it'll be interesting to see.

TheChosenOne- Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Wait a sec,is this info right or are we guessing? Are we going to assume that the Sith killed off their race or they build war machines??Doesn't the mods know??Who knows,maybe we're better off NOT knowing,this way we're guarenteed a surprise in KOTOR?? Maybe they made the Hawk?................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they made the Hawk?................... It could be me, but from what I've seen, everyone in this thread was merely guessing... Also, this is one thing that's been bugging me for awhile... very often do I see that Luke vs. Vader animation at the end of several posts... why the heck would you want to place it there? I saw no discussion of Vader or Luke, yet the animation is there... mind you, I've seen that on various posts, and I always wonder why'd you post something as random as that there... could you clarify it for me?

TheChosenOne- Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Yo Burrie..i don't know why.I guess i like it the best of the group.I wouldv'e preferred a blue twilek smiley or another Plo Koon. Plo Koon was one of my favorite jedis and I was pissed that he and Ki Adi Mundi were cut from ep2 battle at the end I'll try to be more open to the topics and post more accurate smileys,ok?

dark jedi 8 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 yeah, that was upsetting! plo would have kicked some ass too! BTW, your av & sig are great! did you clear it up from the trailer? because i thought it was a little blurry in the trailer, but yours looks pretty clean.

Burrie Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Mmmm, I didn't do much to the shot(besides adding a red saber for kicks ), but I used the video of IGN. It was filmed at the E3 at that time, and the quality is quite good. Even better, the movie is 30 fps(quite a difference), plus there are a few minor additional scenes, I think.
