Obi Wan's performance against Dooku in Stover's novelization gives him the solid W.

Obi-Wan

Kenobi solidly takes this.

How does he possibly stand up to Malgus' Force powers? Dude could choke out any of the Act III protags who are more powerful than Kenobi.

👆 And still lose to each of them.

Nah, it was a team that took him out.

"The Empire and Republic call on their most powerful heroes to board the Sith’s stolen battlestation and bring an end to their march across the galaxy. But the rogue Sith was prepared, and has readied the battlestation in preparation for the confrontation that lies ahead. Now the most elite heroes in the galaxy must battle their way through a seemingly endless army of droids and soldiers before facing off with the rogue Sith to crush their new Empire once and for all."

That doesn't change that Malgus is below the protags as in game dialogue supports the possibility of him being defeated alone, not that there is a canon to deny it any longer.

So when it's a team of four, he chokes three.

A team of three, he chokes two.

A team of two, he chokes one.

Solo? No choking occurs.

In every scenario he loses. Could it be that the choking is nothing more than a game mechanic, like any other we choose not to take literally, and that Malgus is actually soloable by the protags?

Even if the "canon" outcome is that he dies to four protags, and that's being generous, it doesn't mean other scenarios aren't equally valid. All solo options have unique dialogue, including Malgus himself commenting on you coming alone.

Solo mode was only added in later, its obviously not the intended version of the fight. As I just showed, Bioware directly states that its a group of heroes that fights him.

It's stated to be occurring in the OOU text and HUD, so no it isn't just a gameplay mechanic.

As I just posted literally on this very page its explicitly stated that a team of heroes fights him. So no, not all scenario's are valid. The solo option is just for antisocial people like me.

All game mechanics show up in the HUD. It's a heads up display, after all, and exists purely for gameplay. Malgus was always soloable, so your argument falls flat. Show why it's invalid storywise, or you can join the six other people that took an L on this issue.
