Phexa Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If any of you guys played in the beta, you might've noticed that Corso was changed to a human in one of the very last patches before the release version. Before the change I think he was a Kiffar, with dark skin and white warpaint on his face. Now he's got a paler skin and more scars but no paint. I don't think his new look was a customisation pack either, so he was changed for some specific reason. Was there a lore reason behind it, perhaps? What do you think? I played a smuggler in the beta and got quite accustomed to his looks, it's rather strange seeing him humanized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostrazor Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Beats me I was in beta for over a year and I can't remember when they changed him. They should of made him not annoying imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw that look either - I first beta'd in the 11/11 crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capnmo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 When you leave the starting planet you get a kit that has different looks for corso. You can keep him normal with the darker hair and skin. Or you can make him a white guy. Either way he is still annoying though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appletaz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You aren't crazy. I noticed it too. It was the 11/11 build where they took away the tattoos and humanized him. It's too bad, imo, cuz I liked them. He still has all his other qualities tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugotz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 They also fixed his annoyance level in a big way. He does not bug hardly at all any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiroRX Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Kiffar is hard to spot unless you know the species. They just look like dreadlock humans with a face tattoo. Smugglers get Wookies, Zabrak, and Mon Cal. We got all the cool species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phexa Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Before: http://www.thecorellianleague.com/jp/psd/smuggler_1.jpg After: http://torwars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Companion_Vid_05-500x281.jpg I guess it's a minor change, but I liked his tattoos. I suppose BioWare must've thought it's more appropriate of a farm boy to be a human than a kiffar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to meeting him again, hoping to get in today so I can finally get my little smuggler going. And it will be nice to see Corso again, great LI in my book =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahl_Windsong Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) The only thing I want to say about Corso Riggs is that I wish he would shut the hell up and NEVER say another word. Every time we activated our stealth belts he would start yelling things like, "Oh yeah I got you!" and his other useless comments. And then in the final beta build in the patch notes it said that was fixed, and for the most part it was except he would still make comments when you reached certain points he would comment on the area and he would do that in stealth...idiot! I was so happy when I got Bowdaar my wookie, Riggs stayed on the ship from there on in, and did that stop him from becoming like a puppy dog in love with my character? It is so funny now because he is so jealous of Bowdaar, I was just hoping there was a way for me to let him and Risha off at the next port of call....

I think I will be swapping between bowdaar, and my mandalorian lover, but corso is def just gonna keep my ship clean, pretty, and sandwhiches made for whenever I come back to it.

MaidenShadow Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Awww I love Corso... I'm a sucker for the southern thing. Hats off to you, Nozze. I'm glad I'm not alone in my adoration for our chatty farm boy. I'll likely be switching off between him and Bowdaar, for they seem to be the companions that best fit my gal.

rrracheljoy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I love him, too! He's adorable in my book. Yep, I'm a Corso fan, too... My hubby and I crack up over the romance arc dialogue because I swear he used some of the same lines on me while we were dating. The lines may be cheesy sometimes, but they're sweet. And as for him being an aggro-sucker... thank goodness. I found that as I got further into the Sawbones tree, my DPS just kind of dwindled away. Fights may take a bit longer, but having him in his DPS stance with all his high-threat attacks on (yes, even his harpoon... I just work around it) helps things go down a bit faster and it's still impossible to pull anything off of him. I just heal him up with some grenades and shots here and there and I get by just fine.
