The HoT is supposedly the strongest and most powerful Jedi alive in TOR, as well as the strongest Jedi born in generations, but this doesn't really help gauge them in comparison to the PT Jedi if that's what you're going for. I definitely would put them above Malgus, however behind Yoda? I don't know.
What did you expect, a status quo regarding the powerlevels of certain individuals? You look at the feats the character's performed and decide how powerful he/she is yourself
Did you read my first post or just the topic title?
I pointed out what seems to be an odd inconsistency and asked for clarification.
I played KotOR 1 and 2, so the HoT beating the sand demon sounds pretty impressive. I've never played TOR though, so I can't really gauge how impressive beating Sith Lord X or Dark Jedi Y is compared to the feats from other eras.
Anyway, I think following are possible answers:
1) Emporer Malgus ragdolling the main characters was in fact a power inconsistency and Malgus is not above the HoT.
2) Malgus > Vitiate (highly unlikely...)
3) There is a reasonable explanation that somebody who played TOR could come up with that clarifies all of this.
Not true at all. There are plenty of none consequential Dark Side choices that can be picked. The idea that a Jedi fresh from apprenticeship can somehow have maturity than every master before them is crazy. Such assumptions are made in the grand scheme because established canon is made yet. A good instance is Bendak Starkiller. Canonically Revan was lightsided in KotOR, yet he still supposedly killed him, even though this was a Dark Side choice.
Mace has greater TK feats then HoT and I'm not talking about the exaggerated old clone wars show, in the Ryloth arc in season 1 of the new clone wars, mace force pushes and destroys a small army of battle droids and then uses the force to collapse a wall onto a Armored Assault Tank.
