Emperor Vitiate vs Emperor Palpatine

Lets see. Being younger, consolidating his power for 6 years, apparently conferring with ancient sith, gifting random people with the force, etc.

And the mystery of Vitiate, as in everything. The less that is said about a character, the better I like him/her.

Really?

We're given his backstory in his first canonical appearance (Revan) and it's further detailed in the encyclopedia. He's really not mysterious at all, he's just unpopular.

I've long opined that Revan's appeal primarily owes to being a blank template endorsed by the narrative into which the masses of insecure nerds can project themselves. Kinda like a male Bella Swan.

I get Revan. I don't get Vitiate. Tell me more.

I liked Revan for his characterisation in KotOR II myself.

We're given a backstory, a few feats from Vitiate, nothing filling in the blanks. Sort of like with Revan, except Revan is much more likeable.

I rather like the idea of Revan myself. Veneficus wrote a hell of a fanfic that was 10x what Karpyshyn delivered.

But the deep fixation that Revan used to inspire in folks was almost certainly the product of him being a template Gary Stu.

It's the same phenomenon manifest in Twilight. The thought of being Bella Swan is enough to make a cobra out of a young woman's clitoral hood.

I don't even know why you mentioned Twilight. That throws all your credibility as a heterosexual out the window.

The behavior and similarities are striking, that's all. /shrug

I see. In other words, you prefer characters with little provided substance that allows room for your imagination?

Preferably sexual.. But yes

Quit flirting with me, you ****.

Vitiate wins.
He precedes Sidious and is obviously more combat oriented.
Sidious may have a shot in force powers only, but in sabers and all-out he is mauled.

^ 👆

Vitiate definitely wins in sabers.

I was going to say Sidious has a shot, but then I remembered that thing he did that one time and the fancy twirl he does against the Hero and I thought

NO. 😐

Sidious can also do fancy twirls :d

Its just not the same.

yup

Sidious beats Vitiate just as quickly as he beat Agen Kolar because Vitiate doesn´t have any impressive speed feats. So what´s going to protect Vitiate from a speedblitz?

lol
