I suppose Darth Nihilus truly is the most powerful Sith Lord of all time.

Palpatine's Force Storm technique is the ability to create hyperspace wormholes. The other "Force storm" is the name given by the KotOR arsenal system to describe extremely potent Force lightning, which is a different ability entirely.
Hmm, doesn't one variant transport, while the other is used for destruction?
Palpatine has good control with the Wormhole variant - he transported Luke safely across light-years of space - that's impressive.

One concentration? I'm pretty sure he can multi-task, just like everyone else.
Interesting. I'd love to know what attacks are faster than Nihilus's attack that eats Force energy, stuns you instantaniously and leaves you dead a second or two later.
Please share with the class.

Apparently the grape vine has it that when KotoR II was being developed, they were working on RotS at the same time - and Lucas was more concerned with that project.
So it must have been something like:...
~ At the Skywalker Ranch ~
(An Editor pops his head into Lucas' office)
Editor: "Sir, sorry to bother you, but we've completed the first couple drafts of the second Knights of the Old Republic game, and we've.."
GL: (Waves his hand dismissively) "Not now. Busy."
Editor: "With Revenge of the Sith, sir?"
GL: (Looks up, for only a moment, his eyes bloodshot and full of vague annoyance) "Yes. I have the to make sure the lava scene with Anakin is as overly-dramatic and drawn out as possible."
Editor: "Okay, well, sir.."
GL: "Busy!"
Editor: "Sir, there's a few things you need to look over. There's some continuity issues, possible retcons, and.. a Sith Lord that drags spaceships around with his mind.. and eats planets full of Force energy.."
GL: "What part about busy..did you not get?"
Editor (Blinking) "Sir..it'll just.."
GL: (Stands up clumsily, his stomach-fat flying in all directions as he slams his fists down) "It's all approved! I don't care, I approve it! Now let me get back to this Script!
Editor: (Nods and goes to close the door) "Yes..sir. Of course."
~ Six months later, at Skywalker Ranch ~
(George Lucas sits down in his Hutt-esquely luxurious mansion. Looking over the contents spilled at a patio-table)
GL: "Darth Nihilus.. who the f*ck is Darth Nihilus??"
"..."
"F*ck!."

Some consider Nihilus, some say Vitiate, others say Krayt, it's not as though canon and fandom alike have united behind any particular one over the other.
They probably mean most powerful, based off feats.

How do you figure that? Nihilus is pretty much a Force Ghost inhabiting his armour. What attack would kill him that quickly? A lightsaber? Force Lightning?

The response changes depending on what you ask Visas to do when she goes to the dead body. The first option ("Tell me what you saw.") leads to "I saw a graveyard world, surrounded by a fleet of dead ships. I felt it through him... as I feel it through you." Second ("What did you see when you looked at him?") leads to "A man and nothing more".
Have I mentioned that I love the writing for Kotor 2 yet?

1. Force drain doesn't stun.
2. Stun can be resisted by strong will. Because it is simplified version of mind domination. Target is mentally forced not to move and stay dizzying just like characters in game do.
3. No stun -> Force defenses are up.
4. Force defenses up -> Nihilus starves to death.
