why do they keep picking on rodians?

[OrganisedChaos]

We all remember Twitch the dueler of taris from kotor 1. When you speak to him he seems demented. the converstation went something like this....

 

Twitch: bang bang

pc: are you a dueller?

Twitch: shoot fast. twitch faster

Pc:are you insane?

twitch: shoot them. bang.

pc: goodbye then.

twitch: bang bang

 

This was quite funny/disturbing.

 

Then in TSL at the iziz canteena there is another rodian, this one likes swoop races

 

Rodian: swoop?

pc: yes im a swoop pilot

Rodian: swoop fast.

pc: er yes they are

Rodian: i watch all races. swoop fly

pc: thats great. im going to stand over there now...

 

that was funny, especially the last line. we've all used it.

 

so why is it always rodians who are too obsessed with their sports? is it a species trait. or did obsidian just want to mirror a conversation from the original KOTOR, so that people who played the first could have a laugh?

[Wild Storm]

Because Greedo, who was a Rodian, was a loser. Caught on with all of his kind.

[DarthValia]

I didn't really see them as crazy, I just assumed they wern't that fluent in Galactic Basic.

[D.C.]

I thought it was a funny, recurring joke. :D

[porncoaster]

but did't greedo come after all of those rodians?

Yes in the storyline, no in reality. Its a stereotype. The one at Yavin was not annoying at all.

[porncoaster]

oh ok

[Judge Hades]

In my gaming group we have coined the phrase "Pulling a Greedo." Meaning you do something stupid that gets you in trouble or killed. Or sometimes we use the phrase "Fried the Greedo." Meaning we just killed a person for being stupid by talking instead of acting.

 

Then that damn Lucas changed the OT. Damn bastard.

But they aren't speaking Basic in either KotOR game. I can only assume they're speaking they're native langauge, in which case their linguistic difficulties make no sense.

[FaramirK]

oh ok

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Congradulations on the most original Username/Avatar I have ever seen in any forum anywhere ever. And no, that is not sarcasm. If I had a chair on an awards commitee for that sort of thing, you'd definately get an honourable mention.

Good point, I hadn't even thought of that!

[porncoaster]

who me

[D.C.]

It's a good recurring joke. Hopefully we'll see a similar joke in KOTOR 3. :D

[GhostofAnakin]

Gluupor the Rodian was the greatest NPC ever created. So I don't know what you're talking about.

[D.C.]

He was the guy from Manaan, right?

[Judge Hades]

Yep.

 

Gluupor wonky.

[Darth_Radnor]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why couldn't he be a party member?

[porncoaster]

I can see his entire dialogue tree with the PC.

 

Everything ends in "Gluupor wonky"
