Uldihaa Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Why are Ortolans "harvestable" via Bioanalysis? As far as I know, they are the only sentient species you can do that to. Or are there others I just didn't notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is a bug. They are probably erroneously marked as being harvest able in the game's code or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Seems like an oversight. Generally speaking, it's a "nono" to harvest sentient beings for crafting materials in most MMORPGs for some reason. The fact you don't get it on wookies, selonians etc. probably means it shouldn't happen to the ortolans either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excise Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 IIRC you can harvest the corrupted humanoids in the Alchemy of Evil or whatever the last Seeker Droid quest is. Anyhow, probably just an oversight as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uldihaa Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I figured it probably was, but I found it disturbingly amusing that you could do so. I noticed the harvesting icon and thought, "Really? That's so wrong... wonder what I'll get?" Then had Ashara harvest the corpse. Got 2 Alien Bacteria, if you're curious.

The fact you don't get it on wookies, selonians etc. probably means it shouldn't happen to the ortolans either. They should change that. Let's make humans harvest-able if you're Dark V. Remember when there were reason aside from titles and appearance to be Dark V or Light V? I miss that. Make morality important again!

Xeta Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You can also harvest Wampas, Savrips and Rancors, which are canonically considered to be semi-sentient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
