Darth Bane vs. Vitiate.

Started by Syndicate4 pages

They're all non canon now anyways so if we're using them anyways I don't see why'd they'd all be equally valid sources. Nice excuse though.

You want me to put actual effort into debating you? xD

Except we've seen people hit by force lightning who haven't been set on fire or died immediately to it. Just because you can't defend against it doesn't mean force lightning would kill you instantly.

SWTOR also has people who have never used the Force in their life learn it in a few days.

And in Kotor a random dude is using it to torture someone at the start of Korriban. I'm pretty he was a noob.

Force lightning is a dark side ability used to torture, disfigure, and even kill one’s victims. Blue in color, Sith shoot Force lightning from their hands by calling on their hatred and aggressive feelings. However, while a deadly weapon, it is not unstoppable. Force lightning can be deflected and absorbed by a lightsaber, and select Jedi have proved able to neutralize the technique through the power of the light side. -Star Wars databanks

Now, unless you know of a bantha that utilizes the Force to a great degree or has a lightsaber that it's particularly adept with, you can stop anytime now.

Not being able to block it doesn't mean it would kill you. Your own source frames force lightning killing as being unusual. A bantha is an immense beast, most lightning would likely merely hurt it and piss it off.

Hm? If I'm reading this wrong tell me, but this is a problem?

An entire forest consists of thousands of acres, so no. 😬

You doubted Valkorion's ability to destroy a world before.

This is novel Vitiate.

Valkorion was immensely powerful even at this stage.

Can't believe you're completely over the name "Vitiate", Legend.

Given the obvious hype surrounding the Sith in KotOR, being powerful war veterans trained on Malachor and all that, that's really not surprising.

My own source also says disfigure and kill in the first sentence. 😬
More likely than not the bantha would just catch on fire and burn to death. It's covered in fur. In a harsh dry environment at that.

To be honest, Valkorion's "Vitiate" arc wasn't carried out well.

It would have been great if BioWare had done its homework before. Imagine Revan approaching Valkorion and learning that he is not a Sith. What a shocker.

Yeah, imagine Revan approaching the Emperor of the Sith Empire to find out he was in fact not a Sith...no wait, that's dumb.

It would have been a more interesting story arc, IMO.

An entity deceiving (and exploiting) both Jedi and Sith for personal gains; this story arc would have justified Valkorion's galaxy-busting effort even more-so.

In this manner, Palpatine's originality would not have been violated.

Yes, that is why the game is how it is now, but honestly, for that to work, Vitiate couldn't be introduced any other way, aside from quality writing, that is.
