JWagner Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Then why do they glow when infected with rakghoul plague? ...they also glow when certain abilities are active... Just thought I'd put that out there. It's an in-game dynamic for each ability, that I guess was too hard to filter out for race=miraluka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeutschGamer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Because they, along with other player models, share the same infected animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeutschGamer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 not good enough, other player models have eyes. It is good enough, it saves resources by having them all share the same animation because it means less work for devs. That's how games work.

Kekkles Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Obviously, the Rakghoul plague (Rakisius Infuctus) does not cause a glowing of the eyes, per se, but rather a glowing of the eye sockets. While it is true that the people of the near-human race known by the galaxy at large as Miraluka are born without eyes inhabiting said eye sockets, and that there is a thin membrane of skin to protect their vacancies within, the sockets are, in fact, there. The glow witness via these sockets is not dampened by the thin membrane anymore than it is through the eyes of a 'norma' near-human species. Honestly, 'norma' near-humans (and humans, for that matter) should be thankful that although the Rakghoul Plague causes eventual explosionitus and the cessation of the condition known as 'being alive', the glow produced by the being's eye sockets (have they eyes or not) does not hinder their sense of sight (in fact, the Miraluka are lucky, for if it did inhibit the ability of the ocular nerves to process light from beyond the glow of the plague, they could see anyway, thanks to their gifts in the force.)

Its really not necessary to try and explain it lore-wise, they just kept the same animation on everyone to save time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadshackles Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Then why do they glow when infected with rakghoul plague? Because it LITERALLY turns u into a rakghoul. Rakghouls have eyes so... You GROW them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kekkles Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes, however, at that stage of the infection, the individual has obviously not become a Rakghoul as of yet, for if physical manifestations of the malady (In this case, the Rakghoul Plague) were to cause new organs to grow, such as eyes, one would assume that even if a cure is administered, those effects would be permanent - not a very positive outcome of a cure. No, I would say it is the eye sockets. It is surely the only logical answer to said question. And while, yes, many have been known to turn into Rakghouls because of this terrible plague that is assaulting the galaxy, one must wonder... Why are we different? Why are we, the heroes of this quaint little galaxy so long ago, and so far away, spared such a fate? Yes, it will make you vomit terrible glow in the dark bile, and yes, it will make you eventually explode and infect all of your friends and family, but one must ask... isn't it better to simple detonate, and paste portions of yourself on the walls of your surroundings, than to turn into a terrible Beast? I dare say the answer is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhaers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My guardian is a Miraluka and it was quite a shock to see the glow so strongly through her silver metal mask. I had to rationalise it as an image of how they were seen using force vision, considering that she couldn't see visually it wasn't too hard to rationalise. That what she noticed wasn't really there at all, but just a force signature of the virus. As for how other people saw her, luckily I was able to avoid that quandry.

Mirandel Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I like to think they still have their eyeballs, only without pupils and the whole system of light detection. And under the vale it looks kind of like Chiss eyes, but not glowing red. It's more logical from biological point of view and aesthetic as well. I know, I know, the lore. But it's more like a direction, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranadiel_Marius Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 A wizard did it.....I mean a sith sorceror did it. Slightly more seriously, the rakghoul plague is at least in part caused by the dark side of the force. Therefore the glowing eyes are not the physical eyes of a subject glowing but a culmination of dark side energy going to the subject's brain through the most direct route in order to alter their thinking capabilities making them more aggresive. The glowing is just a side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurokDarkstar Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 From the title, I expected a different question. Why does a race born with no eyes wear blindfolds? What are they covering? Do they do it for style? How do they know what's stylish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMGitsree Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 They also get "blinded" by flash grenades, shouldn't be able to see maps, Is allowed to drive a ship, no NPC in the game comments on your character's lack of eyeballs ever. Is it really that hard to program an NPC reaction to a certain race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
