This is about the only topic u have posted that is a suggestion. You should try posting in the general dicussion forum, you might get more replies to your topic. Another great idea by the people who brought you beer milkshakes! Â "I don't see a problem...then again, SW isn't my life, so what do I know...." - some who makes 27.8 post per day on a SW forum!

Eddo36 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 I just wanted to give my input to the devs, you know, throw some ideas around for them to see, that's why I post here. lol won't be here for too long anyways, going to boot camp in 2 weeks, so just wanna throw as many of my ideas as I can around.

Darth Sirius Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Well from what I saw there was a good 2 or 3 chinese/japanese looking PC heads in the game. But if you mean for the NPC's then the thing I would want more would be more varied ones! Â But I will agree with you that the game was lacking in Pakistani/Indian looking faces, but i wouldnt make any kind of slight let alone big deal out of it, because I wouldnt class it as anywhere near important to me in fact it never crossed my mind until you brought it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janmanden Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Sure, but I wanna see some viking faces too, with long curly red beards and horns, might attract some nordic players and make me feel at home...

Craigboy2 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 No what we realy need in a npc that looks like micheal moore, a fat, dumb, lazy, and semi-wealthy and that would remind me of good old america.

Tehellet Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Isn't it a little pedantic to insist that there be a token NPC for every sex/race/religion/sexual preference included in a game? These days people are less concerned with equality and more engrossed in meaningless tokenisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofAnakin Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I'm thinking no. I like Star Wars games to mirror the movies, and usually the humans are white or black.

mastaGAW Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 There should be more diversity in games in general. Except Grand Theft Auto it seems in most games all people in the world are white or in the case of Japanese anime style adventure or RPGs Asian which makes more sense though since thier country is not as diverse as ours. In other game genres there is a lack of diversity though. Its never really bothered this young black boy, butmore diversity would make since and would add realism to a game in an urban enviroment. Â Â Diversity should focus moreso on humans and aliens in Star Wars KOTOR most NPCs are human which doesn't make sense on most planets where they aren't native species one of the things I meant when saying each planet should have a unique feel. Why can't one planet have mores Duros than humans for example. Why does every Republic or Sith soldier have to be human? I doubt the galaxy is mostly human. They always seem to have the most power. I also wonder why many ugly aliens are evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddo36 Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 I agree mastaSAW, diversity of humans would add to the immersion of the game. Also, some of the Sith soldiers are Twi'lek. Maybe they don't have to be human, just humanoid. Â But in terms of human races, it would be neat if made-up races were added. Like blue/green haired people, or completely white-haired purple skin people? Or... maybe not. Just current, real world races. Â And Ghost, I think that's called discrimination at best. Wouldn't you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 And Ghost, I think that's called discrimination at best. Wouldn't you agree? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Not necessarily. Just because a certain race or ethnicity isn't used in a setting, doesn't make it descrimination. If that's the case, then are all those Kung-Fu and Samarai movies (except for the one with Tom Cruise) descriminating? Last time I saw, the ratio of asian to white/black men was about 10:1, with the one white man being the evil westerner that gets his head chopped off. Â Certain FANTASY settings have a certain look for a character. It just happens that George Lucas has decided upon which races he'll use. Please don't turn this into a race issue, when there are other "genres" that do the exact same type of, as you called it, "descrimination" against whites and blacks.

cronanfett315 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I think it was cool in KOTOR 1 that there at least some Asian faces and skin color. Â We really need to have mixed races, too. Half Thai/Half African-American (so Tiger Woods can play), and Half Thai/Half White German (so I can play) :D Â But all kidding aside, I'm happy that Asians were represented. It helped me feel like I was part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Jedi Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'm happy as long as every npc doesn't look like every other npc, and I would like to see more non-humanoid intelligent talking aliens as well to make it more interseting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan the Terrible Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 The bald Asian dude was the best-looking Dark Side character, IMHO. Like Ming the Merciless with a lightsaber. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
