Since Hutts have an average lifespan of 1,000 years, and it's only been a little over 300 years since Revan entered his races on Tatooine, I think it would be just the coolest thing to see this character make another appearance in the TOR franchise.Ĭharles Boyd mentioned in his post that the event will be spread across multiple planets in the SWTOR galaxy. There were some light and dark side dialogue options associated with the character, but none that called for his death. Motta appeared in KOTOR as a minor Hutt crime boss who ran the swoop races on Tatooine. So I think it would be astonishing if we got to see the return of Motta the Hutt in the upcoming event. The creative team at BioWare has this masterful ability to take these formerly obscure characters and re-inject a sense of relevance into every NPC you ever encountered anywhere in the game. That should be irrefutably evident to all players since the release of Jedi Under Siege, which saw the return of Malora as a Darth and member of the Dark Council, who had previously been a minor footnote in the stories of the Sith Warrior and Inquisitor, and the stunning return of Darth Savik as her replacement, whom players defeated in the original game on Corellia and left for dead as just another NPC. BioWare cares about the characters it creates. It'd be neat to see BioWare address the fate of the company following the Mandalorian Wars. I seem to recall this organization featured more often in the KOTOR-era comics. A Taris-based swoop bike manufacturing corporation. It'd be neat to get a Codex entry or something during the upcoming event that provides some details on the fate of these organizations.
The fate of these gangs following Darth Malak's bombardment of the planet is left unaddressed. These two Tarisian swoop gangs figured prominently right at the start of KOTOR.
Here are just a few off-the-top-of-my-head things I'll be watching out for when the event is revealed.
The event will be themed around the ultimate Swoop biker rally spread across multiple planets in the SWTOR galaxy."Īs someone that principally roleplays in SWTOR and enjoys the game for its masterfully-developed setting and story, I'm tremendously excited that BioWare is introducing this key element into the game, which featured so prominently in KOTOR and KOTOR II.
Yesterday, Charles Boyed posted on the forums that the newly relabeled Game Update 6.1.2, targeted for release this June, will feature "a unique new in-game event that will join the weekly rotating schedule alongside Dantooine, Gree, etc.
