Darth Sion encountered lots of enemies and none of them could manage to talk him to death. He wasn't some weak minded fool.
One Jedi especially gets underneath Sion's decrepit skin. The Jedi Exile proves remarkably resilient. Sion feels an alien feeling bud within him: not respect for female jedi, not admiration, but an emotion quite intolerable. It causes his intense hatred to flag, threatening his tenuous hold on life, so Sion decides to destroy the woman responsible for this weakness. However, in their final confrontation, the Jedi Exile convinces the Dark Lord to release himself from his enslaving hatred. Rage and life flee Sion simultaneously, his undead body finally yielding to absolute necrosis. (from KoTOR Campaign Guide)
Other foes could not cause the kind of emotional reactions within Sion like Jedi Exile did and they ended up dead or wounded. So...

Who else did he encounter? Except for that female Jedi on Korriban. Who else tried to kill Sion using words?
You also didn't prove that he wasn't a weak minded fool.

Sion embarks on a Jedi-assassination spree, "dying" many more times, but always ending more enemy lives. (from KoTOR Campaign Guide)
And he also encountered Traya several times. She, despite being an expert at manipulation, could not talk him to death.

Canonical sources establish that his downfall occurred due to a strange 'emotional reaction' caused by the Jedi Exile within him. That reaction diminished his hatred (one of the pillars of his immortality).
You haven't answered any of my questions. When I ask who, you answer a vague "lots of enemies". You said that none of his victims could talk him into dying, but how do you know that anyone, including Traya even tried. If you can't prove something, then you're making it up.

This is why we respect Advent and not this guy. Because advent gives us facts, sources, and links to those sources. This guy says "lots of enemies" and "probably" and purse speculation BS.
Also Darth Exodus. Answer the post that you owe me. Its been 3 days.

Here is some information that I can provide:
As a marauder for the Sith Empire during the Great Sith War, Sion flings himself at the Jedi, seeking death, but instead, he finds the opposite. Regularly surviving the frontline pandemonium, Sion acquires a pain tolerance that convinces him of his immortality. Inevitably, probablity has its day and Sion is struck down. Yet death does not comes to Darth Sion, and each centimeter of his failing body comes alive with anguish, multiplying that infinitely distant point of pain one thousandfold until his brain threatens to collapse. Improbably, Sion gets up. And as he locks eyes with his attacker, Sion lets all of his anger for being killed - all the hatred clotting his heart - explode. (from KoTOR Campaign Guide)
And;

While the Campaign Guide does not elaborates much on Sion's duels, you also cannot prove that all of his opponents were of silent type. Conversations taking place between Jedi and Sith during duels is not an unusual phenomenon.
Specially, Traya was an expert at 'manipulation.' If she could talk Sion to death than what was stopping her in doing so? Why waste time by training a new disciple for the purpose?

Don't ask me silly questions. Since sources are limited on lots of KoTOR characters, we need to work with what we have got.
This here is why you fail in the Versus forums. You can't prove anything, so you make stuff up and then claim it's working with what you got. Theres a difference between invariables and facts.
You say theres no reason to believe that none of the Jedi talked (what I actually meant was convincing Sion to die like the Exile did) during combat. But I can say theres no reason to believe that any of the Jedi did talk. It's word against word, who's right, no one knows.
He's essentially wanting us to create potential scenarios and makeshift statistics for the KotOR characters.
"Well Revan defeated Mandalore, and since it must have been epic, there at least would have been several tornados that Revan summoned. Mandalore of course would have been used to Revan's possible signature technique and prepared himself with tornado repellent."
