Yeah, that doesn't make any sense because unless Baras was powerful enough, no one would accept him as an avatar for Vitiate, which is what the Voice is supposed to be. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not. He just needs to be powerful enough to make that believable.

Yes, but they weren't exactly convinced of him being the Voice, so it means they doubted his power. That's why the let the Wrath fight him in the first place.

They let the Wrath in because Vowrawn let them in, and Vowrawn already knew Baras wasn't the Voice of the Emperor. He also called Baras nearly indestructible, so that's not really a point in your favor.

Wasn't that Baras with the Sel-Makor amp, that he later lost?

No, this is supposed to be Baras even without the amp. With the amp he's supposedly just plain invincible. Which is retarded, but again, this is about what the Dark Council thinks. Not that Sel-Makor's amps help the other randoms in TOR much.

It's a point in my favor when Baras calls the DC to defend him and to destroy the Wrath before the fight even starts and they all decline. Why would they decline if the really thought he was actually the Voice? After all, they'd be opposing the Emperor himself. I doubt they'd take that fat chance if they didn't seriously doubt Baras.

He didn't lose it, he lost his connection to Not-Kreia.

Lel. They decline because both would bring the Emperor's will, so someone has to be dying. Yes, they would, even if they thought he was the Voice for this very reason. That's the reason Marr states he's staying out of it, because he doesn't want to anger the Emperor. erm

You might want to go watch that scene again.

Sure, but considering Marr telling him "as long as you stay out of our way, we'll stay out of yours" would be basically telling it to the Emperor himself, it doesn't at all seem that he really believed the Wrath was actually the Wrath and the Emperor's will itself.

I'm done with the Neph TOR wank, thanks very much.

Neph is one of the biggest fans of KoTOR II content. I am sure that he have high opinion of Meetra Surik. However, he called BS on some of your points like I have in the past, only to be ignored. Perhaps you need to reconsider some of your points?

It's very obvious, to everyone, the Wrath is the Wrath. Marr just doesn't care because the Emperor has been absent for several decades.

You can't argue a stone. Literally all the evidence is there but you're choosing to champion a "Drew Karpyshyn is an exemplary writer thus he would never leave anything out to be solved by readers." Even though he already stated hr leaves things out such as amps on purpose amd leaves that to the aforementioned readers, I.E. Us.

I actually think that he's a shit writer and he's way too mediocre to put subtleties like that into his books. If he were any good he would have found a way to imply them intelligently in a way readers could actually recognize. Instead there's nothing and you're fabricating arguments out of your anus.

Scourge had enormous potential though. Even if he peaked very early, he still would have improved substantially and he gained an amp from Vitiate as well as bio-chemical enhancements. It's inarguable that he would have massively improved in those 300 years in terms of power and ability.


Yet his special gift, essentially described as his most powerful asset:
quote:
"You have a special gift, you do not just feed on the raw emotions of your foe, you gorge yourself on them. You feast on their primal fear. It amplifies your hate and anger. It fuels the power of the Force. It transforms you into an instrument of death and destruction."

"I wonder that this wasn't observed in you, even the most powerful gift needs guiding to be used effectively."
-Darth Nyriss, Star Wars The Old Republic Revan


Something that allows him to siphon his enemies' power, something Meetra has met countless times against the Triumvirate:

quote:
“Xedrix surrounds himself with acolytes of the dark side. Your talent will let you feed on their power and turn it against them. The greater your opponent’s connection to the Force, the stronger you become.”
-Darth Nyriss, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan


Was lost in becoming immortal:

quote:
“As time passes you will learn to accept and endure your suffering,” the Emperor answered. “Your mind and body will find ways to deal with the pain. After many months you will become accustomed enough to it to function in your role as the Emperor’s Wrath. Eventually you will simply become numb, unable to feel anything at all.”

“Why?” Scourge asked, his voice something between a sob and a moan.

“Everything has a cost,” the Emperor explained. “This is the price of immortality.”
-Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan


Why do you keep ignoring this? Yes the Emperor somehow boosted his combat prowess and he has implants boosting his physicality. But that is merely filling in for his greatest gift in the Force, which was lost in the process of becoming immortal.

Because you're assuming the Exile would be absolutely fine, after suffering near discorporation into trillions of subatomic particles and having her energy sapped. That is absolutely farcicle, and a red herring isn't helping your logic at all.

She wasn't actually nearly split into those particles. She was just feeling the sensation.

Revan and Malak hung around Nathema way longer than her and were fine. thumb up

The fact Surik could only handle a couple hours minutes is pathetic on her part.
