Dark Side eye color??

Recommended Posts

Ok i know this has been discussed a few times,but i can't take this anymore.

 

Why the hell did the developers decide to give dark side and sith characters red eyes?It doesn't make any sense whatsover.For what reason in hell did they have to do this???

From Dark Side corruption level 1 up untill last stage ,the eyes must have yellow/sulfuric color with tiny red rims around them.

 

Just like in here:

Even Malgus ,Zash and Ekkage have proper eyes,which means the reason behind the eyes' red coloration of the player characters is some lame mystery ...

 

After all ,this is Star Wars isn't it?There are no red eyes in Star Wars! Dark side corrupted individuals and sith especially are supposed to have yellow eyes.When are the developers going to fix this embarrassing blunder?

What the hell is this?

Don't know what is it supposed to be but it certainly is not Star Wars.

Maybe all the characters with yellow eyes in the movies were not at the last level of the darkside.

 

Ohhh. So Darth Sidious has only Dark I. Sorry, my bad. I didn't know he was a wuss, rather than a very old, very powerful and born-to-be-evil Sith Lord :)

 

True, two things I think TOR did wrong - darksiders got yellow eyes, but not all of them looked like walking corpses. Really bugs me that in order to have the cool Sithy eyes, I have to make my warrior look like a zombie. I hate zombies. They're US Americans thing. Not mine xD

The dark side eye colour is the same as " dark side corruption makes you ugly" - it's just a game thing.

 

I agree that both are silly.

 

In Episode III, Anakin's / Vader's eyes changed colour outside the Jedi Temple and then went back to their normal colour; the Emperor's features became ugly as a result of the force lightning bouncing back at him. In Episode VI when Vader's mask is removed, all we see are scars from his duel with Kenobi, nothing more.

Except for us lore geeks that get worked up about everything that violates lore, because Bioware should treat the Star Wars IP with respect.

 

It isn't exactly out of the blue, as memory serves, Anakin, and Maul had a bit of red in their eyes in the prequals. Besides, it has always seemed to me that dark side corruption doesn't have consistent effects, there have been a number of dark side users who show absolutely no physical traits associated with such activities, or Anakin, who had yellow eyes, but no change to skin or hair color.
