Shaori Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Does the Sith War story line recognize you leveling an alien? I leveled this class years ago as a sith, human and cyborg and I think these were the only races available at the time for this class. I know that now they let you level whatever race you want as any class you want. I really love the blood red twileks and I want to level one but it would really annoy me if all the npcs treated me like a human or sith. p.s. I know the SI story is set up for aliens but it's pretty obvious that my great-great-great grandpappy Kallig is not a twilek and again, that kind of stuff annoys me and takes me out of the story so I'm not going to go that route.

OldVengeance Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The story isn't designed to be about an alien. I don't believe anyone will mention your race. In fact, only Sith Purebloods will get the occasional callout to who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaori Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm fine with them ignoring my race, I just wanted to make sure they don't treat me like I'm something I'm not. Thank you for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadsil Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 In a few planet stories an Imperial will make a derogatory statement about aliens then will specifically exclude you from the statement. Sometimes a dialogue choice will give you the option to respond being offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomagnus Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Interesting enough, if one plays a red-skinned Zabrak, NPCs tend to treat them with the same respect and deference that they do Sith Purebloods.Even that one female Pureblood on Korriban, the one who turns down humans, laughs at aliens and tells other Purebloods that their pure-blood makes them worthy of her possible attention does it... which is actually a little amusing...

Shaori Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well right off the bat Tremel was bad mouthing Vemrin for being impure because he was from Balmorra (IIRC.) Seems like the entire reason Tremel was truly against Vemrin is he's Star War's version of white trash. That toed the line for me because I know they would consider Vemrin better than a twilek. I hope it doesn't get much worse than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well right off the bat Tremel was bad mouthing Vemrin for being impure because he was from Balmorra (IIRC.) Not because he was from Balmorra, but more simply, because he was, as Tremel put it, "of mixed blood". Where he's from is almost irrelevant. Seems like the entire reason Tremel was truly against Vemrin is he's Star War's version of white trash. Pretty much, yes. That toed the line for me because I know they would consider Vemrin better than a twilek. I hope it doesn't get much worse than that. Well, since it wasn't written for aliens (except perhaps for red Zabs), that's hardly surprising. The key point is that when the game launched, there was no Legacy system, and you couldn't unlock use of "other" species, and Twi'leks were considered "other" for the Warrior story, just as PBSith were considered "other" for the Inquisitor story.

Your comment about PBS for Inquisitor is incorrect. This was always available from launch. It was not available in early alpha builds, but they changed that before even the open beta dropped. Also, there are many dialogue choices in the Inquisitor's story that reference being a PBS, so it was handled well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make much sense in the context of the PBS being the Master Race, but OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hmm. OK, fair enough. It doesn't make much sense in the context of the PBS being the Master Race, but OK. I haven't played it, but I recall it being mentioned that story says the PBS screwed up and got put into that position because of it. Without details on what they did to screw up. But, I'm not 100% sure on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomagnus Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 From the way I read things, it's implied that a Pureblood Inquisitor's family has been in slavery since their ancestor Lord Kallig's betrayal of Tulak Hord as punishment for his actions. After all, Kallig's spirit does make a comment about his blood being so long in chains that they have forgotten the glory they once held (or something along those lines).

MadDutchman Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 p.s. I know the SI story is set up for aliens but it's pretty obvious that my great-great-great grandpappy Kallig is not a twilek and again, that kind of stuff annoys me and takes me out of the story so I'm not going to go that route. If you want an in-universe way to make this work, keep in mind that Kallig doesn't need to be a Twi'lek. Twi'leks are genetically compatible with humans (and likely other humanoid species as well. In fact the SI story on Belsavis gives very strong hints as to why this is possible). After some 1300 odd years, it's not inconceivable that an ancestor hooked up with a Twi'lek and had kids who did the same. Few generations later and any visible remnants of the original species would be gone. Considering the number of Twi'leks in slavery, this isn't hard to imagine happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which still works fine, since it's logical to assume many humanoid species are compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganondorq Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Back at launch if you made an alien warrior, there used to be reference to an alien training test program that the Sith were trying out. But that dialogue has been missing for a long time, and I have no idea why they'd have removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldefail Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Sounds like a line from Lord Renning. "I'd heard we were testing alien comptetency to become Sith." I don't know if he says it to an alien warrior, or if it's unique to alien inquisitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
