I think it means non-applicable power. smile

The Ellimist
Lmao pretty much all of Overation/Fraudiate's feats are not only inapplicable, but also the result of prep, nexuses, drainees and third person hyperbole. Nice try though. thumb up

Plagueis > valkorion confirmed wink

MS Warehouse
Yea that's about as dumb an argument as it gets thumb up

hutchy1345
When has valkorion overpowered the force itself?

plagueis didnt fight the force, the force fought him

The Force wouldn't dare. smile

hutchy1345
And plagueis won smile

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Because the force didn't directly fight back and no counterforce bothered to rise against them in that sense. smile

hutchy1345
Still won...

If it was that easy, why didn't every sith before them do that? Their power was still significant enough to meaningfully affect the entire living Force, lol.

Also the fact that the Force couldn't beat them head-on and instead needed to create the most powerful being in galactic history is case in point.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
"Couldn't beat them head on" lol. Plagueis and Sidious were literally anticipating that the force was going to boil their midichlorians and stop their beating hearts. But of course, like cosmics in Marvel, the force works in mysterious ways. It's obviously immensely impressive, but it's not going to make me believe that Plagueis in the context of a fight is gonna defeat Valkorion. The feat is just so far out there in terms of what's actually applicable to a fight.

Its not as flashy as eating a planet, but far more impactful, and if nothing else is better than what Bioware pulls out their anoos.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Well yeah, Plagueis/Sidious's feat is more impactful/kewler, but conversely Vitiate was going to eat the Galaxy on his own via ritual and billions of simultaneous deaths and attain a legit godlike supremacy over the force. I mean as I said, the unbalancing of the force is just out there in terms of how that applies to a fight. I mean Plagueis and Sidious aren't busting solar systems, are they? Is there even an upper limit other than what's convenient for the debater, I.e. "Better than Valkorion?"

Nai
I think it means, that the Force didn't fight them back, because it had different plans. Otherwise they would have ended up with "boiled blood" or "stopped hearts".

hutchy1345
"they knew the force had yielded" that implies a degree of resistance though doesn't it, even though it states there wasn't any
Strange

The Ellimist
Not fighting back =/= not having intertia

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Sure. So with intense meditation over the course of months, Sidious and Plagueis tipped the force in favor of the dark side.

Now how do we apply that to a fight?

The Ellimist
Does it have to?

In any case, it translates into their raw power/mastery.

hutchy1345
"Vitiate was going to eat the Galaxy on his own via ritual"
How do you apply that to a fight

Nephthys
He says, in a thread about Plagueis and Sidious using a ritual.

The Ellimist
There's no indication that they used a ritual though.

Nephthys
Months of meditation amount to the same thing.

It's been retconned anyway, so it's basically irrelevant.

The Ellimist
lol, nothing was retconned.

They pulled off something via their own sheer willpower, unlike, say, Vitiate using the power of 8000 sith lords.

Nephthys
Pretty sure it was actually. Force and Destiny: Nexus of Power.

Power he then absorbed.

The Ellimist
lmao that's not what a retcon is. It was speculating about a separate phenomenon (Sidious shrouding the minds of the Jedi).

Not the point. It's more impressive than anything Vitiate has done on his own power.

The Sith shrine thing is a canon development, not Legends. It was from an aborted TCW arc that made its way into James Luceno's Tarkin and then regurgitated into Force and Destiny.

DP is legends.

DarthAnt66
Last time I checked, Force and Destiny is Legends. wink

The_Tempest
Yup. And it incorporates post-split canon lore, such as from Star Wars Rebels. This is another example.

NewGuy01
Even if the Sith Shrine thing co-existed with this, it doesn't change the most impressive thing that actually happened here--i.e the creation of the chosen one.

This whole discussion is stupid as hell. It would be bearable if it was the least bit logical.

The_Tempest
If the Force didn't resist at all, it wouldn't have required two months of intense meditation.

It certainly didn't retaliate, though. And it's probably the most impressive Force feat in Legends.

DP was such a weak book, though.

Why not? The scale of the feat is such that they'd need that much time to have any noticeable effect regardless of resistance.

I mean, no-one could seriously argue they actually overpowered the ****ing Force itself, right? No-ones actually that stupid.

The_Tempest
We don't disagree. That's a form of resistance, though. Kinda like moving a really heavy stone. The stone isn't "fighting back," it's just heavy to move by its own nature.

*glances toward The Ellimist*

hutchy1345
Once again here comes the bias
It was the same with darth bane
If this quote was about valkorion everyone would be loving it
But just because its plagueis...

The God speaks correctly. thumb up

Tbh. If we're taking non combat feats, then Kreia blows Plagueis out of water what with her ways of killing the force and all.

Emperordmb
Assuming that would've actually worked tbh

Beniboybling
I don't think she actually planned that, I think that was just bait to get the Exile to come to Malachor and destroy her.

Someone should ask Avellone about it.

I wish they'd keep kotor 2 tbh

So... someone get Ant to send him a bunch of emails with loaded questions?

Basically. Or screw I'll message him. I'm interested in a lot more actually.
