Well there is that quote that says that none can stand in his presence without succum8ing to him.Personally I think Viti8s mental domination is too powerful for Nihilus to resist. Its kind of a quick-draw to see who can use their un8locka8le technique first.
Then why did he have to create the ravager?

Maybe thats why he locked it up in the Dark Temple. He was like 'Hey, why not just ask them? Man, making this thing was pretty dumb now that I think about it. I should kill everyone involved in making it. No-one must know how stupid I really am."
He used it quite a few times before, unless he's stupid enough to forget his ability for that long, there sure was some individuals he could not break.
Also if he could dominate people's mind that easily he just have to go brainwash the chancellor and the Jedi council then the war would be won.

Didn't he make it 8efore the time of Revan? Perhaps his mind powers were not as unshaka8le as they were by that time. He does have over 1000 years to develop after all.Sure. He'll just walk up to them and oh wait I think we've hit a snag.
He just has to travel with the massive army and mind control everything there. Also when the Empire sacked Coruscant he could just go there and dominate everybody, most of the republic's governors were all there.
And he could just mind control the ambassador to make the treaty of Coruscant totally favor the Empire.

There is also no proof of anyone resisting his domin8ion. All I am hearing is a lot of specul8ion from you.
The Emperor would not risk himself in 8attle. Remem8er what happened to Revan? Speaking of, he was 8eing influenced 8y Revan at the time. He doesn't even care a8out the war that much. He is much more focused on his plan to consume the galaxy.

There is indirect proof that shows his mind control does not work on some people.
Why would he need to risk himself? He got the ability of essence transfer, even if his body was destroyed he could still easily make it.
No, the trailer clearly said he was not pleased that the council didn't bring the victory to him.
"Though he now controlled half the galaxy, the Sith Emperor grew impatient - "he had expected his triumph to come quickly.

I love the blatant reaching and utter butthurt that is involved in this thread, in a sad and lonely attempt to discredit Darth Nihilus.This is what Unseen Unheard has to say on the subject. When Nihilus spoke, the world died. Any speculation of some amount of preparation, which is never even implied, is exactly that, unfounded speculation caused by a serious case of butthurt. It's an assumption with no evidence.
As for "hurhur contradiction a bond has to be formed in the game".
"It is a technique that is almost as old as the Sith themselves…it is a means of severing connections between life, the Force, and feeding upon the death it causes. It cannot be taught…it can only be gained through instinct, through experiencing its effects, first-hand." ¯Kreia
This is what Kreia has to say on the technique.
What Tempest was probably referring to is this:
"As much as one may use the Force to bolster the wills and strengths of others, the reverse is possible, though not often used. Instead of sending one's will through connections in the Force, instead such connections are drawn upon, fed upon, and drained completely."
¯KreiaWhich doesn't imply that Nihilus might need to, I dunno, become bestest buds with someone whom he has met in order to drain them. As proven by both Unseen Unheard and the game, by the destruction of Katarr.
Your intriguing combination of obvious agitation, use of a blatant strawman, and constant references to butthurt lead me to believe that your anus weeps as much as your eyes, witnessing the brutal death of your fragile hopes for Nihilus's supremacy.
Your anguish is most gratifying.

Did you or did you not state that the game says Nihilus needs to form a bond to use his power, yes or no?
no
Well, yes, kind of:
The_Tempest
According to the Jedi Masters (& Kreia as well, I believe), it is.

If I recall correctly, Kreia claims that the technique requires a bond to be formed between the user and victim/s.

ROFL. My sentiments exactly.
