IceGhost Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 What is up with the way force corruption is reflected on cathar? I changed my dark side sentinel into a cathar, but when I toggle to show force corruption her skin (fur?) changes from the black I gave her into a very light grey over her entire body. I realize force corruption is supposed to make the character look a little aged, but this looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaniMauser Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Corruption at darkvV is white skin with veins. So on light skin shades it is not very noticeable, but as soon as you get something other than light skin, you get wonders like pink purebloods and so on. It is not just veins and red eyes, unfortunately, white skin is package deal. Edited May 15, 2013 by PaniMauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merwanor Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Same thing happens with the sith race if i am not mistaken... looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_display_name Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah, my Day-Glo orange Pureblood looked hilarious. It was like CalTrans went to the Dark Side. No one could take my Sentinel seriously while I had Dark V corruption enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceGhost Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 That's unfortunate. I was looking forward to the possibility of a black panther-like cathar with glowing red eyes. But I get the impression that this is an issue that has been around since the beginning. I know I would be rather annoyed if I ended up playing a pink pure blood. I don't understand why Bioware hasn't addressed this. Not everyone plays a caucasian jedi or sith where the lighter skin actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes your face look like you wrestled with an ice cream truck and lost, miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twighead Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not to change the subject, but what is the cathar social ability? I've been out of town all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDrone Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not to change the subject, but what is the cathar social ability? I've been out of town all week. "Pride of the Cathar". You basically just roar whilst making a battle-cry-like animation. If around other people, i believe they do the /cringe animation. Whatever the one that makes them put up both of their arms and try to "cover" themselves whilst slightly stepping back. It's difficult to explain, so i'll just say they "/fear" you if you do the ability around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been so priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) That's unfortunate. I was looking forward to the possibility of a black panther-like cathar with glowing red eyes. Then just play a cathar with black fur and red eyes? All cathar eyes glow. It's not a -strong- glow, but it's there. Just like it is with purebloods and chiss. Corruption makes just about every species look like ****, not sure why you expected any different for the cathar... but the toggle is there and it works just fine Edited May 16, 2013 by Pscyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Agreed on Corruption making most look bad when one gets far down the darkside line, but I like the darkside Twi'lek's myself...at least the lightblue and red skinned ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Cathar have fur over their body so its weird for them get the "pale skin and veins" effect when dark-side corruption is on. It would be nice to have them grow sharp claws and fangs sticking out of their mouth. Red/ yellow eyes are ok . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlon_Nabarlly Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 They messed up force corruption. It really only works right for humans. They should have made unique effects for each race, but they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzel Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Cathar Corruption will come via "Corruption Packs". You will need to buy them over and over and over again until your kitty looks the way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seireeni Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Corruption makes just about every species look like ****, not sure why you expected any different for the cathar... My rattataki assassin looks absolutely great with dark side corruption. But one of the reasons for that might be that rattatakis have white skin anyway.

I agree with you..but the game does allow you to turn off or "hide" dark side corruption. I wish BW would make it to where the dark side corruption animation took into account the player character's species and their complextion. ((spelling?)) Then maybe we'd have some awesome looking Dark Side characters running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Nala Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sith corruption really doesn't make sense in this game. Besides how it looks on non-humans (terrible), personally, I despise that it can show up at all on non-force users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
