Green mouths/eyes

Post by Kaitsuburi »

I keep noticing (especially in the dreams/visions cutscenes) that my character's teeth (well, the whole inside of his mouth to be exact) as well as his eyes are solid green color.

Does anyone know why this happens? It's kind of gross... A smooth, realistic-looking character otherwise with a strange mouth disease??



Do XboX users see something similar??

I've generally found the mouths to be horrific. True, those in my copy of KotoR are white, not green, but there's no differentiation: just a solid mass. I suspect Bioware didn't want to put a lot of resources into modeling the single most constantly-changing aspect of one's face: the appearance of the mouth as it opens and closes.

As for yours being green, have you tried adjusting your monitor? I'm also running a Radeon 9600Pro, but without that problem. It sounds like either your monitor or its video settings are simply lacking in the blue-red range.

I am playing it on xbox and have never noticed this, however now I will have to pay attention. I have never liked the facial expressions in this game and think they could have done much better, but I have never seen a green or white grill on anyone.
Yeah Whatever!

Was your PC sucking face with a green twi'lek by any chance? That might explain it. ;)

ROFL :D

Well, it sounds like it could be the monitor, but I doubt it. The weird thing is, it's only the mouths that are green... All other coloring in the game is fine, except for the first room in Taris where you wake up: it's got wildly psychedelic lights/colors all over the walls around you. I have a suspicion that those psychedelically wild colors are not supposed to be there. Kind of makes sense along the lines of the nightmare theme, but still... :confused: Has anybody else experienced them?

Once you start off on Taris though, things are back to normal, no more weird colors until you get another dream sequence and your mouth turns green :)

My guess would be that it's something to do with the drivers/graphics settings. It is kind of reminiscent of the weird color artifacts you get when overclocking the GPU too far (but I am not overclocking at all). Perhaps I should try disabling some of the visual enhancements in the gfx settings...
