Not enough to outright lie for no reason out of the blue to someone he's planning to kill, no.

No. Only the writers of the TFU novel are biased and wrong.

Lol, what is this? Tulak stomps. #Ancients4ever

Yiz. :>

If Hord's hype is accurate then he wrecks, if.

Though unless I'm mistaken, isn't Hord feeding off of the spirits of hundreds of Jedi he killed on the battlefield, an actual fact not just hype?

Iirc yes.

Goodness, so Neph do you just arbitrarily assume Marek is as powerful as you want him to be? How absurd is that?

And there is a difference between lies and hyperbole, we can't dismiss that an obsessive fanboy like Khem was exaggerating when describing the feats Hord accomplished.

No, I powerscale him from Vader and his other opponents.

Neph's honesty and consistency once again strike fear into the hearts of the Gideonites.

And how do you maintain that when you consider the whole of TFU to be exaggerated and inaccurate?

Well, I think Darth Vader appears in a few other sources we can use to guage him off of, maybe. Shaak Ti is also an established character who we can use as a comparison, although she probably/obviously improved in her exile.

Yeah, tbh.

Lmao at Neph taking a sith lord's word over that of a third person narrator. 😂

Khem isn't a Sith tho?

Tru, never mind that destroys my argument.

Was that an argument? Its hard to tell when you're making a legit point or just flaming me tbh.

Theres nothing but speculation against Khem. The writers had him tell you those things for a reason and they never give you a cause to doubt the reliability of those accounts. There is no reason at all for them to have Khem tell you incorrect things other than shits and giggles. Were they to be inaccurate the game would surely go out of its way to indicate this so as to actually serve a point. The fact that this is not the case indicates that Khem is telling the truth. Hord's hype has been supported by every source that's spoken of him and every source that's spoken of him has spoken highly. TFU is noted to be exaggerated and over the top, the entire premise of the game is to overblow Force feats. It's explicitly stated to be as such, while the arguments against Khem are empty supposition without a shred of proof that so much as dents the reliability of his accounts.

It's been countered so many times it's not even funny anymore. But I wouldn't expect you to stop saying that, you gotta take every stab at the PT/OT era you can 👆

So you are the only one who didn't note how Khem is fanatically obsessed with his master (which makes him a biased source of information), aggrandising his status by claiming Nox is nothing in comparison, before conceding that actually Nox is a worthy successor?

That seems good enough basis for me, as is the general trope for past acts of heroics are often widely exaggerated by their retellers.

Certainly you can't proof beyond a doubt that Khem's statements are entirely valid.

And the Galen Marek argument has been gone over a thousand times, pretty much everyone other than yourself and Ant agrees that TFU made an "overblown" "over the top" game (note the word game, this is never even applied to the novel) by making an extremely powerful protagonist, as Blackman himself has stated, a being who had the potential to become the most powerful Force user ever, not but exaggerating his powers, which would work to deliberately make canon continuity unreliable, a rather absurd notion tbh.
