I have to say I'm sick of hearing about the KotOR era's Drain. It seems to function on several different levels and like almost all of that era, we have nothing to gauge it's effects and strength in comparison to those of other era's.
And both Kreia and Sion's lightsaber skills have niente on Dooku and Maul's.

Kreia's isn't actually a drain, it's more like a force sever thingy.I don't really care about Kreia because she only took down three unknown Jedi masters, it's Nihilius who annoys me with his excessive use of drain powers.
Why would you say Kreia ability is not really a force drain? She did use it and killed three jedi masters with it. I do not think you can use the other method unless you are on the light side and I don't believe it kills anyone.
The shock of being severed could kill someone, though I don't think it ever has. And I think... think Kreia's attack was a drain. It was Nihilus' Ka-me-ha-me-ha Death Attack of Doom that was the ambiguous one. Something about him feeding on or absorbing the sensation of mass death, the mass death itself caused by a drain of unknown statistical origins.
God I hate KotOR for that.
Originally posted by Lord LucienHis "smaller version" crippled Traya and allowed Sion to physically beat her senseless, and he can't kill Visas because they have a Force-bond; that's why the player has the option to sacrifice Visas during the middle of the duel to further weaken Nihilus. If anything happens to her, he takes a big hit.
That was cut content though, it's not canon. But yeah I still don't like Nihilus' attack, his giant version kills planets, but either it takes time to "charge" or he's just stupid. And his smaller version seems to suck, he didn't even try to take out Mandalore or Visas.
God, WHYNE MOHR.

Did he actually use the Drain on Kreia? If you mean the cutscene, he doesn't seem to be doing much other than standing there. If it's some other place... I haven't played the game in a while. And I maintain that Nihilus is still a moron.

I think people take to much into Nihilus's ability.

He used it on Kreia and it did not kill her only temporarily disable her use of the force.

Someone more powerful than Kreia might be able to resist it. Even Sion resisted Nihilus attack.
EDIT: My points apply to your arguments too, Faunus.
Originally posted by Lord LucienWell, I don't know that it was "the Drain," but he certainly did something to her that rendered her unable to use the Force; it was either a technique that directly affected her connection to the Force or it was an extremely strong telekinetic attack. I mean, she couldn't pull off something - moving a lightsaber hilt - that a barely conscious neophyte Luke Skywalker managed to do while hanging upside down in an arctic cave with his face slashed open. Whatever Nihilus did was clearly effective.

LOL. No.You substantiate why is it crap.
No man, don't give him an opening to cry about TEHBURDENZOFPROOF1111
It is an easy enough task: Dooku has been called 'One of the greatest Jedi in that order's 25000 year history' and 'an even greater Sith.'
Sion has never shown an offensive Force power. To my knowledge he can't even use FL. His only power we know of is his regenerative capabilities, which can be disrupted by Dun Moch. The Count excels at Dun Moch.
Problem solved.
