Well it should have been obvious that Nihilus attack didn't kill her, considering she is right there, living and breathing, in front of them.

Maybe they assumed the beatdown she received after finished her off. She did look pretty dead after that.

I'd assume it was from being drained off screen

Not exactly like she was hit with it when they went about it

Certainly didn't look like it visually anyway

As for why she couldn't draw her lightsaber to herself?

I've always figured it was from getting her head too jarred to properly use her psychic powers that are kind of reliant on not getting your brain rattled around to think about

Would be helpful if Avellone was still answering questions, but the frequency you ****ers went about it months ago appears to have scared him off *shrugs*

Could imply multiple encounters

Could also be him referring to the duel in the Trayus Core

A ****ton happened there that she had to suffer through, even if brief

I wouldn't say that, her inability to draw upon her lightsaber could be read like that but in the contexts of a. Nihilus performing the act b. Kreia described that "there are techniques within the Force against which there is no defense" - an obvious reference to Force drain would imply otherwise imo.

Then there is the way after failing to recover her lightsaber, she just sits there helplessly, and lets Sion grab her face, it very much looking like she's given up.

On top of that Kreia is pretty bad@ss, it seems unlikely she'd be taken out with one push, and mild concussion would render her helpless.

And lol, I had nothing to do with those shenanigans. smile

Meh, not really. She was drained, then beaten. And it all happened in one instance.

It just seems a strange choice of words, more accurately surely to say after what happened you still live, or "what happened on Malachor".

Seems kind of redundant to refer to having her powers stripped from her after Sion's beating I'd figure though

Once more, I just take that as her being rattled by Nihilus's TK

****er's pretty potent with that shit and all

I don't see how it detracts from her being badass that TK from someone as powerful as Nihilus rattles her that badly :hmm

Wasn't specifically saying you were :maybe

Just "you" being a collective of people that may or may not post here

My problem with assuming she was drained is where exactly was KOTOR's representation of the power through its normal animation then?

They have Nihilus pull that out on Surik, as does Kreia on the council

Why not here?

True, it is strange, but its not like we always say the exact right thing to describe shit in active conversation *shrugs*

At any rate, this procrastination was fun, but I should probably get back to finishing my last personal statement now...
