Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire

My one major gripe is Vaylin. I have no clue what they were doing when they wrote her or chose her voice actress. She is one of the worst most insufferable characters I've seen in SW. I'm talking Jar Jar level bad here.

Kek, I ****ing love Vaylin.

"I killed three knights to make sure they weren't lying to me. Then three more because I hate odd numbers."

This ***** was written for me, I swear.

Intriguing. Given that all of it originates from a control of the dark side, I don't know what you mean.

Sidious doesn't talk about using his own power to create Force Storms, and so when judging power, I don't use them. Simple.

Sheev's Force storms can devour fleets of capital ships, transport matter thru time and space, and tear surfaces off worlds. I gather the Dark Empire audiobook also mentions he can trigger multiple ones? I also recall the Essential Guide to the Force saying he can conjure them at will.

That's pretty hard to top tbh.


Valkorion have superpowers too, you know. He reduced an entire planet to barren wasteland. Now this is pretty hard to top tbh.

Does Valky talk about using his power in any of the feats you listed?

Not as impressive as Force Storms. Especially since it literally takes nothing for Sidious to summon them.

One thing for sure though, Vitiate's lightning is more powerful than Sidious' at this point.

Yes. He specifically says, "You must use my power." Just like he specifically said, "I am no Sith."

Your turn, Tempest.

I love how DE Palpatine vs Vitiate is the new debate. No more ROTS.

That doesn't mean that it's raw power. Could mean mastery. Could be the product of their combined energies.

The codex disagrees, bro. We've been through this ad nauseam. And I've already cited the example of Nihilus. Palpatine says he is the dark side in Dark Empire... Does that make it so?

Temp, he specifically says he is not Sith, mocks Marr for being Sith, tells the Wrath he shouldn't be a Sith and is more like himself, and established an entire philosophy and doctrine for the Eternal Empire with different principles, values, and goals as the Sith.

He's as Sith as Revan was in SOR.

Nope. Arcann specifically calls it Valkorion's power. As does the codex you're flaunting right now over the character himself.

That's legit retarded and you know it. Comparing a doctrine to a state of being is nothing else. That's like saying even though I said I'm not Buddhist, I really am because someone else said so.

No.

When Valkorion takes control of the Outlander and unleashes his powers, they are purely his. You can say that he transforms the Outlander into a Voice for a brief period.

In-fact, the first time this happens, Lana Beniko is surprised and points out that this cannot be her doing. The Outlander agrees.

The codex entry is written in that manner to give people a hint about who Valkorion actually is.

However, additional content repeatedly makes it clear the Valkorion is not a Sith. In-fact, Valkorion admits that the Sith Empire was a failed experiment and he fashioned a new doctrine that wasn't restricted to the Jedi and Sith philosophies.

The Outlander can be a Smuggler tho. 😐

What energies?

Nah, for the sake of consistency, we use the HoT.

Consistencies fine but the story is still built to accommodate the other protags. Can't just ignore it if someones argument is made impossible by the non-force sensitive classes.

And "power" can't mean mastery? Consider comparisons between Anakin and Sheev/Yoda. How many times have those two been referred to as the most powerful Jedi/Sith despite Anakin's greater raw power?

You're free to disregard Force storms because they don't specifically mention power. I'm sure there are times that Force Lightning has been described as a mere manifestation of anger. I personally find it to be a pretty weak argument all the way around for that reason and others (since when does power status disregard "mastery"?).

The thing that says otherwise would be the codex. I again refer you to Nihilus, who apparently doesn't give a shit whatsoever about the Sith and gives less consideration to it than does Valky, but is still considered one regardless.

Darth Nihilus's Sith identity is not disputed by any source. This is why. Heck, Meetra Surik calls him a Sith Lord right before the fight.

In case of Valkorion, it is made abundantly clear that he is not a Sith. He is beyond the notions of Sith and Jedi. He even informs the Outlander to stop being a Sith and shows him glimpses of the failure of the Empire in the form of illusions (if the Outlander is a Sith).
