The Great Phantom

Yep... I guess you could always be a Dancer in my entourage.

There is. Look at the dialogue options. Just pretend like you know what you're saying, and you're talking about his past. He/she knows what they're talking about, but you don't. The beginning amnesia is understandable. If you've ever been in the hospital and been 'put under', then you would remember the almost painful disorientation that follows. This is something similar to what happens in the beginning, and later on, they assume that you have looked beyond what you see into the Core of the story. (Few people have the want to do so... they expect it to jump out at you. To all of you that do this: It ain't goin to happen. Get over it.)

Here it is: Here is your dark calling. Sith Acolyte Ah, you are truly perceptive, my child. You are worthy enough to study the mysteries of the dark side as a Sith acolyte -- the most fearsome wielders of the Force since the galaxy was formed. With my instruction, you will locate lost artifacts and learn to use them, becoming more powerful than you ever dreamed. You could have the galaxy at your feet. Even the Jedi will dance like puppets for you. Man, that sounds so cool. I could be like that one guy in that one movie: "DANCE!" and everybody would dance...

Acolyte involves finding artifacts and using them to gain power. I'll find the quote right now.

Few mention him by name. Just like pre-release, he is basically the MSG to the Jedi, except they don't know he wears a mask.

How do you Force Choke him? I may actually play as a female PC just to do that!

Well, I figure I might as well answer the original topic. I know some of these have been answered already, but I'm going to answer them anyway. 1) They were fought by the Mandalorians. According to Canderous, the Sith gave them a challenge that they could not turn down. Most people just assumed that it was refering to Exar Kun, but KOTOR II throws a new light on it. They attacked from 3 'vectors' and started hitting Rim worlds first. I'm not going into detail about the Wars right now... I'm too lazy. :ph34r: 2) They were trained AFTER the War, when they were reduced to petty mercenaries. They fought for the Sith, mostly, and would naturally have undergone anti-Jedi training. Revan gave the order to the Exile to detonate Malachor, wiping out much of the Republic Fleet stationed there, which was made up of people that may not have trusted Revan so much. The Exile formed bonds willy-nilly, so he felt the deaths of so many on a much more personal level. It was almost like dying thousands of times over, I'm sure. That is why they cut themselves off from the Force: to protect themselves. If not, then they would have gone insane and died. 3) The Mass Shadow Generator is some form of gravity 'flux' thingy, that wiped out the Mandalorians and most Republic troopers near Malachor. It basically destabilized the planet, as far as I can tell. Probably screwed up the magnetic field. 4) I stated what the Mass Shadow Generator is in the previous answer. This is just information picked up from the game, so some pieces may be missing. And about the Sith thingy... The 'True Sith' are different, though nobody can be positive how until Kotor III comes out (LA, if you're reading this: I'm boycotting Star Wars games until Kotor III is for sure in development and we know it won't be rushed :ph34r: ). If I missed a question, lemme know.

O.K. You basically sumarized everything I have said in the many convo's I've had about Nihilus on this forum. One thing: It is inferred by the Jedi Masters and Kreia that the Exile does not gain the connection on their own. The Exile can manipulate the Force through other people, which allows for his/her bonding. This is strongly inferred to. Nihilus apparently has a similar ability, on a MUCH grander scale. Visas is his link to the ship. She can break it temporarily, but eventually he forces his will back into her. Nihilus was/is DEAD, according to references in the game. My theory is that he tries to fill in the wholes where his life used to flow, like an extreme version of the Exile. I posted more of my theory on the other Nihilus discussions, for those that wish to participate.

Run around like mad, and use throw saber/ kill line of powers. Start with the Kill, because that has some chance to stop him, allowing you to hack him to death. Kavar was quite easy. I just killed until I learned his form, and one lightning finished the job. The Queen was much more difficult. She's like the last enemy of the game, who will remain nameless as this is not in the spoiler section, in that she has a TON of health. It was funny to see my Kill hit her, and her stop to retain 350+ damage every 3 seconds, and ending with her barely half dead. It was kinda creepy...

I've never seen the Witch... I've seen Marauder, Lord, Acolyte, Devotee... I think that's all I've seen. Exar Kun fits the discription of Acolyte, but he's not. I'll try to find the Acolyte discription.

There was a Nihilus glitch where he kept standing after his death. He was floating about a foot off the ground, and I could walk right through him. His lightsaber was deactivated and everything. I got to search his nonexistant remains.

Revan is not the Leader of the 'True Sith'. His mission was unknown, as was the outcome. As DS, he probably went to get more powerful/ to rule them. As LS, he went to find a weakness (I base this on his strategist mind). Perhaps he went undercover (wouldn't they welcome the Dark Lord of the 'Known Sith'?). If so, then maybe he made another sacrifice like the original. I doubt this, however. He went to fight 'in his own way', and we'll just have to wait to see what this is.

Give them a break. Do you know how hard it is to program even a simple game of tic-tac-toe? IT TAKES FOREVER!!! All the possible solutions, all the output that you have to do for EVERY possible solution, and then running every possible senario to make sure that it works (they didn't do this too thurouly (sp???)). Now, take that to a massive 3-D RPG, and you have a lot of work. Could you at least tell us what it does, though???

I don't mean to laugh at other's expense, but... HA!

That mockery was one of the best parts of the game. That Bastila part sounded almost like a fantasy to me... The Carth was the best!

I have it, I think it's the graphic options. Thanks, I'll go try to fix it.

Guys, look at who's standing next to 'you know who.' Really cool, showed some form of connection between the two. Could it be events to come, taking a DS manifestation (if you're LS)?

I bow to your power. (I'm an Acolyte) Thinking: **One day I'll hold your throat in my grasp. Then we'll see who has the power**

Oh, sorry. I just assumed it was the Tarr, because of the chemicals. Sorry, I've never actually done the quest yet. I'm starting on it soon, though.

This is a cool test, and it amuses me... :ph34r: It is the Dark Side Test, and it is from the Wizards of the Coast role-playing game. It's not like the Jedi test where you can be Anakin by choosing to stalk Amidala. http://www.wizards.com/starwars/darkside/quiz1.asp Go there, and submit to the will of the Dark Side... :ph34r:

Well, I see how popular this topic is... 13 views and 3 of them are mine...

Wow. You all sound like that lady in KOTOR I on Dantooine. The one that lost her husband's droid. I personally am not into droids, but I'd take T3-M4 because of the Bastila hologram...

Use stealth to listen to the wierd people in the 'slums' (at the docks) that tell you not to try to sneak up on them. Then go get poison at the Jekk-Jekk Tar, and put it in the food dishes.

I was asked to start a poll about this, so here it is. Don't vote if you don't want to, but I would like to hear where everyone is thinking of going to 'forum'.
