I'm not exactly sure what is causing this. But my characters face keeps getting darker and darker, but only in game. On the character selection screen it looks normal. It's not the color of my skin, it's like certain features like around my eyes and mouth are getting darker. The only thing I can figure out is that the dark side of the force is doing it. I really notice it the most during the cut scenes. Anyone else having this issue, or is it a glitch?

It's like that. You get more pale and eyes darker and the color red. If you don't like it you can turn it off the preference and turn off Sith Corruption under the social.

Yep, in some cut scenes your DS is not showing at all and some clothes looks different than in game. Dark Side corruption what are you talking about can be switched on/off from game preferences "Social tab". Edited February 4, 2012 by Urukkhan

So what happens to the people who go light side?

There is no light side equivalent to Sith Corruption. So their appearance doesn't change

Everyone keeps saying your face goes paler, but on my husbands Zabrak and my Rattataki, our faces seem to just be getting darker; however, it could be because of the cosmetics/complexion and skintone we chose.

My Pureblood turns neon pink when I turn on dark side corruption, looks really bad.

yea i went from a total red faced zabrak, (darth maul type) nice tatoos, smooth and handsome to a pale lethargic looking zombie with black veins..........lol not sure if i want to keep that look but it shows what an a** I was in my story line ;P. Good thing you can turn it off if you want a change now and then. I think it can have a lot to do with your graphics and your settings as well. Edited March 5, 2012 by Darthmoriquendi

Bioware should so change the sith corruption option to like off, dark 1, dark 2 ++ as you gain them instead of the on/off one that we have now o-o

For now i will have the corruption off =/ Since i can't go down to dark 1 just for the orange eyes without any negative effects.

 

Forgot to add that my twi'lek turned pale pink once she gained stage 2 of the corruption ._. Was odd to just bam go from dark red to pink like it was nothing.

Level 4 Im gray with red eyes.

Same. DS corruption looks really cool on the humans, unless you object to the black veins. Can totally see why it would look terrible on the species that don't have Caucasian flesh tones though.
