Neph, do you think there is any truth to the notion that you're extremely biased? Consider that it's an accusation levied at you by not just your opponents, but also nominal allies: 'Strap, Skillz, and others.
Even you and Ant, until recently, had little respect for one another as debaters. Combined with what you said last night with Ant, what's your current situation with respect to the SWVF?

My current situation is that I'm very tired and all out of shits. Weak attempt to bother me tho.

A novel? I had assumed TCW ngl.
It's the novelization of the TCW movie.
"Anakin let instinct take over and he was instantly between the stricken AT-TE and the advancing droids, using the fallen vehicle for cover while he deflected small cannon rounds. From the corner of his eye, he saw four white shapes stagger clear, two of them dragging another man. Five. The turret gunner was vaporized. That left one of the crew. Flames now licked from the hatch.
"Sir..."
"Run. I'll hold them. Anyone alive inside?"
Dumb question, but I need to know. "Negative, sir."
"Get going. Count of three." Anakin bobbed up from behind the walker and was greeted by a hail of blasterfire. "Three!" he yelled, swinging at the bolts.
The men sprinted for the door, plunging into the acrid black smoke that now filled the courtyard. It was some kind of cover for a few seconds. Anakin saw the droids, hampered by their own debris, and his eyes went to the blazing carcass of the AT-TE.
Just do it. Adrenaline fueled him. He sent the wreckage skidding across the ground with a massive Force push. The kinetic force of the impact and the sheet of flame released when it slammed into the droid ranks had the effect of a bomb going off. Then another explosion-the walker's magazine, probably-sent a fireball soaring into the air."

Not really. He consistently only uses basic applications of TK in most of his fights. The exceptions are generally when he's pissed off, just like Anakin.Game mechanics are non-canon. Several warrior-type NPC's can choke the PC; if Malgus doing it can be considered canonical, so can several other nobodies (like Darth Soverus). If that's all true, then it's not really all that impressive in the first place.
Nice cherry picking there, but that quote from the HoT only appears if the Knight PC defeats him alone. If the Hero can beat him alone, Malgus isn't nearly as impressive as Dooku, let alone Anakin.
Before his fight with Kao Cen Darach and Satele Shan ( when he was still an apprentice ) he cleared a cave of multiple tons of rubble. In the novel Decieved he shakes an enourmous transport merely with his rage. By False Emperor he's dominating protagonists with ease. I'd say that's a pretty stead progressing of power.
I count unchangeable actions/cutscenes as usable. Can you provide the video and time stamp for these NPC's accomplishing such? If these actions occurred and were unchangeable no matter player choice or were a cut scene then jolly for them I say. It doesn't take way the protagonists accomplishments or the impressiveness of accomplishing such an impressive feat.
Not cherry picking. Just reading over the respect thread. I don't really care to waste my time playing SWTOR. If the RT has inaccurate information take your complaints up with the person that made it.

It's not exactly anything game-changing, but I'm curious; what's this from? I don't remember all that much content on Malgus prior to the Return trailer.

Is his rage supposed to make that more impressive? That's about as dumb as me wording the LoE feat as "Anakin collapsed a 30x90 meter dome merely with his voice".
By False Emperor he's dominating protagonists with ease. I'd say that's a pretty stead progressing of power.
Dominating protagonists? You mean pushing them a few meters away? I mean, it's not bad... But he did lose that fight, so I'm going to have to call your claim that he can dominate them with ease into question.

Don't pair "unchangeable factors" and "cutscenes" together as if they're the same thing; they're not.
The fact that there are repeating stages in the boss fight doesn't mean they're not game mechanics, also. Another thing in boss fights that is unchangeable is the fact that they have enough HP to be able to tank whacking them with a lightsaber for half an hour. If you agree that's ridiculous to take as a canonical representation of their abilities, then why is this any different? I'm only asking you to stay consistent. Boss battles are designed to be challenging and dynamic for the players, not to accurately represent the events of the story; obviously a boss that died after receiving a single lightsaber blow like they would realistically wouldn't make for much of a fight.
Even if you were stuck in the mind set that they are valid, I also listed another dozen reasons why they're still not practically useful in a debate in the other thread. Or maybe somewhere else in this one, I honestly can't recall.

That sounds like a lot of work, please have some mercy on us mobile users.

Fair enough, I understand the difference between ignorance and shady logic. 👆
