Designer Rambling: Echani


Recommended Posts

Yeah, it will have to wait until February though ;)

 

Would be nice to have a party member though who actually goes together wit the Echani Foil, the Echani Duelling Shield. Wasn't there also an Echani Armour somewhere ? I think I ended up selling most of the stuff anyway though :-

I wonder if the Echani and the Mandalorian will be constantly butting heads and you'll have to pick sides, making one of them happy and the other in a pissed off mood.

Now if they would just add an Ichidorian (sp?) too, you would have the good, the bad and the ugly. Of course, who is who is up for debate then.

The only thing is it would be hard to really reason out a hand to hand combat en vs. someone with a missle launcher

Oh, come on. I can't be the only one to remember that obscure item description from Tatooine and link it to the idea of Revan subjugating the Echani?

 

....

 

Can I? :devil:

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?

I guess this proves that you're the geekiest of the kotor geeks.

 

Man, what I'd give for that title!

Exile: What is the true order of battle?

Echani: Finesse and fine movements of the body yield only victory.

Mandalore: The Echani are weakened cowards. They are even beneath contempt. I am surprised that Revan even wasted his time on them. The road to victory is paved with the blood of fallen foes. War is not a dance, it is unadulterated carnage and glory!

Ahh...the memories come flooding back.  I always gave the Yusani's Brand to Candy until I could give him dual Baragwin Assault Blades :

 

:devil:

 

That's the one. Now I'm wondering if whatever designer came up with the fate of the Echani was inspired by that item description, or if it's just a freak coincidence.... o:)

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch if Bio shared design notes.

The Echani are a nice expansion to the SW universe, as are the Mandalorians.

 

But that they all look like common humans is very unimaginative. If they were a race of their own coming from different places in the galaxy and therefor looked more exotic/alien would add much more to the credibility. :)

Well, there were also alien Mandalorians in the comics. But different cultures within the same race is highly plausible, just look at the world we live in today.
