Ok so I had a level 37 Sith Sorcerer and I decided straight up to do the boss fight against Darth Thanaton on Dromund Kass. Anyway, Thanaton gets his apprentice Rolan to fight me. He is a level 40 Elite and is pounding me. He kills Khem Val in no time at all and then provides to chase me. I kite him using Force Slow etc. and I'm about to die. Somehow we end up with him standing at the edge of the walkway, below him is the bottomless pit sort of like Luke vs Vader in Empire Strikes Back. Acting on impulse I use Overload, the ability which knocks back everyone around you in an AoE. He is on half HP and I am on like 10%. He gets knocked back and falls into the bottomless pit. I wait 6 seconds and then the game announces that Rolan is dead and to speak with Thanaton to complete the quest. It feels funny because this was a fight I should not have won. Did Bioware place a bottomless pit in a boss fight stage on purpose knowing that an Overload would instantly win you the fight no matter how low level you were?
