darthisraphel Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Know the Force technique of cutting some one off from the force? Is this something all sith can do? why don't they use it more often? Do you you think it affected the SI in the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefertuss Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Before that cutscene ends he lectures the SI that there are countless dark side rituals and artefacts that they are ignorant about having only recently entered the sith order. He probably stumbled on one of these somewhere in his career. He didn't have any apprentices though, and sith lords rarely share their secrets with the order at large, so whatever it was, its probably lost now. I don't think it left any lasting effects, but still, managing to fend off and defeat a far more experienced sith while their connection to the force (which is the SI's greatest strength) was weakened is a mean feat nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did that part (third SI play through) And I don't remember him mentioning that. Than again it was late at night at I was tired, so it could have slipped right past me.

Jorander Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Cutting someone off from the Force is a light side thing. A darksider isn't even supposed to be able to do it. It's known as "wall of light" for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorander Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That's why I was confused. Sounds like one more case of writers not willing to do some research to maintain consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefertuss Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 People tend to shoot for the [shock him] option just cause its there, in this instance though it does nothing and he just shrugs you off with the force. However if you demand an explanation he'll monologue at you first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( trying not to be too mustache twirling And I knew that it basically makes you Inquisitor look like an idiot) But ty for the explanation.

MadDutchman Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 pretty sure it was the artifact, not paladius himself, that was interfering with the SI force power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephinec Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Doesn't he specifically say it's *him* cutting you off from the Force? Been a while since I had an Inquisitor on Nar Shaaddaa. And is it not just a Sith version of what Nomi Sunrider did to Ulic Qel-Droma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesaberisa Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I found where the dialogue option asking him to explain how he cut you off from the Force was taken. Paladius responds with "There are secrets known to the Sith that you have only dreamt of. This is one, and your artifact is another." I took that to mean that he was doing it, not the artifact, and that it was a technique that he had used against others that had attacked him - it sounded like something that was part of a regular strategy, not something he had stumbled upon by finding a particular artifact.

So he claims but remember he's a con artist and he likes to dupe people. I doubt he has that kind of power and if his mastery is that great, after cutting you off, he'd have no problem annihilating you. Also the dialogue implies it didn't fully cut you off either which is interesting. "Soon you will be only as strong as denton here." meaning you're being drained. Which means lore wise Nox had to kill him quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachimthbear Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think Jerec from Jedi Knight had this as one of his party tricks, so there is some precedent for a Dark Side version of the technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldVengeance Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I'd also thought it was an artifact he had that was doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
