And it is horribly explained.
I don't have the video on hand, but the confrontation with the Masters on Dantooine is a prime example.
One of the Masters says you can't feel the Force and then, in the same conversation, says you can feel the Force... but you can't feel yourself.
facepalm

Huge nerd time:

Lv 55 Jedi Guardian
Lv 42 Jedi Shadow
Lv 40 Gunslinger
Lv 38 Vanguard
The Red Eclipse-
Lv 52 Operative
Lv 40 Sith Sorcerer
Lv 40 Mercenary
Lv 16 Sith Juggernaut
I have my Republic and Empire characters on different servers. Different continents in fact.

Drain ranges from healing your wounds to turning you into a Force spirit, which is weird in general TBH, to gaining more energy like you said, making your life span longer, and now having the potential to make you a God. Hmm, no other techniques get any other mention and to me is just a lazy way to write your villain to be more like the ultimate evil.

The idea that Force drain increases your power exponentially only serves to make Vitiate even more embarrassing.
I just did a crapload of pve to get a bunch of elite gear/some ultimate gear.
Edit: If Nihilus's drain literally made him more powerful, he'd have instantaneously whooped the exile (i dont care how weakened he was) due to wielding that kind of power, you'd think he'd at least be competent with mind rape/lightning/TK

Which is why KOTOR 2 is pretty much ignored nowadays. Kinda hard to top beings who can kill the Force. I hope this gets retconned somehow, even if it's a crappy explanation. Like a really strong Dark Side nexus. It kinda did with the Revan novel, didn't it?

Er, because I layed into him extremely hard, being intentionally as shitty as I could to him, like, a day before his dad died?
Also I just don't really see much point in debating him plus we're sort-of allies on the Vitiate front, even if I shake my head at some of the stuff he says about Vitiate, Sidious and Yoda.

He did, remember? He pwns you as soon as you walk up to him.

I think KotOR 2 is ignored because it is crippled by existential issues that are not limited to merely its very, very poor interpretation of the Force.
See my Improve KotOR 2 thread in the EU section for how that shitty game could have been so much better had Avellone not been a lazy hack with a thesaurus.

And you are responsible for that tragedy?
Do you believe that your rebukes will begin purging his kin?

'Some of the stuff'? lol

Since that would be the Hipster Bandwagon, yes, screw it. KotOR 2 is massively overrated, adored only by skinny-jean & thick black rimmed glasses wearing, Starbucks drinking, cigarette-smoking, effeminate losers.
