With Senya.

He always was whimsical. Even before he beat people like Ventress or Dooku.

Because the Light doesn't exist. You just have the Force and the Dark Side.You don't need a specific mindset to use one or the other, but if you use the Dark Side, there are consequences. The Jedi have a benevolent and peaceful philosophy, but it doesn't REALLY have anything to do with their use of the Force. These so-called "Grey" knights didn't use the Force differently than the Jedi. They used what you call "Light", they just didn't follow the Jedi Code, but using the Dark Side was still strictly forbidden under penalty of death.

Wrong.

Gravestone. Like, in a Tomb. Vitiate's REAL body's in here.

The problem is with BS from RPGs in which the player is free to do whatever he wants, and writers justify that with "Grey perfection" crap. Kyle Katarn being the poster boy of this nonsense. The sad thing is, there actually is something in EU, that would have fitted Zakuul's concept : the Imperial Knights. Force Users entirely dedicated to the Emperor. BUT, even though they didn't follow the Jedi code, they had a strict ban of the Dark Side. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Knight Bioware preferred to go full Revanite Mary-Sueism.

You should come in France, you'll meet amazing people.

I don't see why some people are surprised at the idea of some of us thinking about using Vaylin, as a companion. It would be stupid for most of the characters, but I chose to play my SW, like a true Sith. It implies being way too much confident, and looking for the most powerful apprentice you can get. When Sidious started to teach Vader, before his immolation by Kenobi, he knew he couldn't be more powerful than him, he even said so to Yoda, without any reason to lie at the time. So while I do understand that most people wouldn't take her, I don't think that it's particularly weird, to want her.

My point stands, he knows that every target is at risk. So choosing not to at the very least send some ships and his sister to protect one of his most important strategic target was moronic. It's not like we attacked some random factory.

EVERYTHING's automated. Valkorion used to be AFK for months.

Yeah it slipped my mind. But still, I do believe that you are making too much excuses for Arcann. Whatever happened in the past, something changed with the arrival of the Outlander.

Yes it is outlandish. But it is not outlandish to think that your enemy is behind the specific attack against the Gemini Prime, when said enemy just attacked the Gemini Broadcast station.

Arcann is NOTHING more than a powerful dark Jedi. The entire BS about them following a new path is nothing but crap unsupported by the actual story.

So Vader beats Nihilus. "Nice try with the bubonic plague argument but you are wrong." Er, okay. Killer argument. "Oh and another thing a jedi from over -8000 BBY defeated 2 former jedi of the prequel order like a boss." Whom ?

Rebels ! In Rebels, they are back to pre-Pacifists period.

All "noble" warrior castes are like that. Samurais, vikings, crusaders, mujahidins, jihadists... All have fancy codes, but were essentially peasants killling warmongers.

How should I know ? I don't know how to treat the bubonic plague, But I do know that it would not be a very efficient weapon in the 21st century. We can cure it. My point is, it's not very meaningful to compare two Force users separated by 3900 years. And it's completely fallacious, to make affirmation about a -3900 BBY guy being more powerful than a +1 BBY guy. I would think that in all that time, after the Order is recreated, one of its new creators being the former apprentice of Nihilus, the Jedi probably studied the subject, to fight it effectively, in case it would happen again one day.

Now that I think about it, the main problem are the cutscenes themselves. If they weren't there, our imagination would fill the blanks. I would have thought that there wasn't enough time to send the fleet, or that maybe there was an ongoing space battle. But we have an entire cutscene, to show us that he knowingly chose to do nothing against a potential threat even though he could have, very easily, without sacrificing anything meaningful.

I think it's a deep problem with Bioware. Everything they did after the EA buy-out, has the same problem. When I played through DAIII, I was always expecting some setbacks, but after the first "defeat", the first time that you meet the villain, it's nothing more that a string of easy, predictable victorys. Not even an assassination attempt.

I'm not sure anyone knew the rebels had the plans, and watch Rebels, you'll see Vader intervening A LOT. Anyway, don't you think that it was a BIG oversight, don't you think "It's okay, the Outlander probably isn't with the army attacking my weak point, I can chill" ? Especially since Zakuul probably has intelligent services who should be able to make the simple connection that Shae Vizla fought under the commandment of the Outlander, when he killed his father's oldest enemy... It's not like it was a hush hush stuff, there were literally hundreds of imperials and republicans soldiers. So if he didn't make the connection, then I rest my case about him being a lazy wreck, and if he did, well... My point is made.

The Rebels weren't that much of a threat either, and Vader always moved his ***. Yes, I heard his excuses, but, come on, they just lost all their planetary battle stations in the last few months, and they have an enemy with the magical overpowered ship. Don't you think that as a Force sensitive Dark Sider Emperor, he could have AT LEAST sent Vaylin, to protect the magical robot controlling the magical indestructible invisible fleet ?

Probably the most strategic military factory is under attack by all Mandalorians clans. And he chooses to let the automated defences take care of it, he doesn't want to move his lazy butt from his throne. I mean, it's not even like the outlander's intervention was crucial, any Jedi or Sith, or even a good bounty hunter, could have done the same.

Comparing Nihilus to Vader, is just like in my opinion comparing Gengis Khan to Erwin Rommel. Gengis was incredibly powerful, with his mounted archers, but at the time of Rommel, 500 years later, mounted archers are not a relevant thing anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if 3300 years after Nihilus, even a seven years old Jedi knows the trick to heal and resist a Force wound.

<3 you sir.

To be clear, I'm happy to see SOME of it, AS THEY SEE FIT. Most of it sucks.
