Wow. Lot of trolls today. I would answer you guys but I have to get ready to leave town to visit my parents. But then again most of you are too pathetic for my notice. Like the buzzing of a fly caught in a spiders web. Just making noise in the vain attempt that someone will hear you and a miracle will occur. I might have some time left this evening though. So please entertain yourselves until then.

heh heh heh. No. My mind is already far too bazaar for me to try and alter it with 'experimentation'. I'm just trying to live my life by a rule I set for myself when I was a kid. "Never grow up, no matter how old you get" As long as you retain the childlike outlook of wonder at the world, you can do anything and still be responsible. I've been happy with it. I think other people would be too. It also helps if, after buying something that is not required to continue living, by saying, "I got a new toy, YAY!" I convinced my mother to do that and she admits that it is a lot more fun when you say it.

Heh. I'm 22. I'm trying to finish collage and get a job before I start making pitches to software companies. Or, if something unprecidented happens and the Never-Gonna-Happen-Chance of someone reading this board thinks that my stuff is good enough, then I would go right for a job. But basically, I just spent my years observing trends in gaming, listening to what the fans want, what types of games go under for what reasons, and basically create games that would entice me as a gamer. I place a lot of value on my own Gamer-Sense-Tingle when I think up an idea. I've come up with some good ideas on doing fake info leaks to propaganda sites, exclusive interviews with people who actualy have the trust of the average gamer, and other ideas. Basically, when I think of what kind of games I want to make, I think of what emotion or concept I would be a driving force behind it. (Just so you know, I have named all these games but I do not wnt to reviel them here at the moment) For the first RPG I decided upon 'Family' as the main concept, which leads to a war to join two different worlds together. In this game, both the Main character and the villain are really nice guys. They both want only what is best for the world and a complete family. But they think of both those things in a completely different way. Therefor there is a planet changing conflict between them. The second RPG I have been developing is based on "Self-Loathing". The Main character was once the strongest man in the world, and still is. But one day he was caught of guard by pure cicumstance and the one thing in his life that made him a good man was lost to him. Suffering from wounds that should be fatal he and others who eventually feel similar losses work to kill the main enemy, not for justice, but for revenge. This concept really strikes my heart, because Ihave already plotted out about a dozen different scenes to show how deep a person can feel the loss of what they cherish most, and how that rings with them forever. But what I am most proud of, is the idea that, in hit dreams, the main character remembers what he had, and then when he wakes up he has to remember all over again that he has lost it forever. For the monster hunter series I have decided on the emotions of Lonelyness, Responsibility, and Doubt, in that order. Lonelyness, because he lost his only friend because of a mistake he made early on. As in, bloodily lost. He then closed himself off to keep it from happening again. But the night his friend died, he met 'the one' girl. True love found while he weeps on a bar stool with an untouched bottle of vodka in his hands. The rest of the game deals with Judgement Day, but more over with his coming to terms with himself and letting the woman he loves into his heart. Responsibility, because he exists. When he has a terrible dream that he was the center piece of a cultist ritual to consume the blood of an angel and gain the powers of god through drinking it in a special form he wakes up with the ritual wounds on his body and the loss of almost all his powers. Content to live a normal, non-death immenent life with the woman he loves, he tries to retire. But his sense of guilt and personal responsibilty for the disaster being perpetrated by those who stole his power drives him to duty once again. In the end, he finds that it really is his role in life to protect, instead of to wish for peace. Doubt, because he is not the only one. In the bible it says that angels mated with mankind and their offspring were special. Many people have the blood of the angels in them, and another one has the awakened power. But the pain associated with a power greater than he can shoulder has diven him to try and find an escape while preserving his life. If that can happen to one like him, would it happen to the main character? Has it already happened because he understand exactly what the second powerful being feels as he searches to escape a life of agony? And as for the Alien Samurai first, The Journey. His lord whome he loved more than his own life is dead. Killed. As much as he would like to die beside him, he cannot. As long as the killer is out there, he must search for him. His master must be avenged. It is not emotion that drives him, but truth. And end to the lie of assassination by disclosure of identitiy and finally, execution. But what happens when he finds the one responsible at the end of his Journey, and is not ready for the Truth he finds? Second Alien Samurai, Weariness. Much to his dismay the samurai still lives, and for some reason he cannot allow himself to die. He has not atoned to himself, but he holds no ambition anymore. One day he is ambushed, cut with a knife that should not exist. A knife that twists what it touches until it is no more. In desperation the samurai throws away his warping flesh, certain of the death to come from such an injury. But for some reason he cannot comprehend he is still struggling to live. Why does he feel the need to continue? Why was he targeted by what should not exist? And why is he being mocked by an old man from the shadows, that are just barely within his hearing? But more importantly, why does he want these answers when he had no desire to live? But against his desires, he is pushed forward, by something inside himself. And yeah. Those are the ones that I have thought of so far. As a great game maker once said (not verbatum), "When you make a game, you must have already created the game that continues it." I have taken that philosophy to heart. That is why I have not fleshed out a fourth game series, because in order for it to be a full series I need to have a greater knowledge of tradgedies that occured during the Cold War era. But hey, one day that project might go gold. Heh heh. I just realized I wrote a few pages on something that is completely unconnected to Star Wars. Sorry ^_^

Well, I can certainly understand the lazy part. Now. As for the "Spamming". I explained what I was doing in the very first post in this thread. It's purpose. I have also modified all my previous posts so that the only parts containing unneeded information were condensed into a single post label very clearly as a "Thank you post that does not contain any valuable information in it" after some other people complained, and rightly so I suppose. Perhaps you can take another look back to see if it meets with you requirments now about non-spamming, and then tell me if I was yet again incorrect about what you are talking about. I would like an answer though, as this discussion has intreaged me a little.

REG, no offense, but learn to use a capitol letter. The post you quoted was one of my original posts. I moved it to this one because people at the old one encouraged me to do so. And now, because you have used a quote that is non-conforming to the question you asked, I am confused by you. Therefor I cannot provide you with any answer. Please ask a clear question with a proper quote and I will give you the answer to the best of my abilities. And yes. I know it's Revan, because someone pointed it out on the old board after that post. I left it like that of purpose. Because I am lazy.

Aegis, since I have no intention of having this go on forever, how about this. I have already deleted half of my abrasive posts, simply because I do not like the way they reflect on me. If you delete all of your abrasive posts, I will delete the other half of mine and this topic can go back to normal (post deletion will include this post of course). That way it'll be like it never happened for the most part. And in the future, if we want to rumble we can create a new thread for it. Let me know your answer when you see this.

He he he. You're free to quote anything I say that you like Laozi. I would just like to get the credit for it if you use it in a forum post. Just as a favor mind you. If you don't that perfectly fine too. Like I said, have at it.

I would say I am really creative. Especially since I have been fleshing out ideas for...how many...7 games in 3 different game series for possible pitches to game designers. I can give info on characters and plots because I have this info Date Stamped already. But I won't unles someone asks me for it. The first series is best described as SquareEnix inspired RPG style, but following the myths of anchient Europe, including Quintessence, and a multi-dimensional universe to explain new chatacters and worlds with different rules of physics to them. I have the broad plot, character designs, combat and magic systems (including a bounty system) planned out for them already. This encompasses 2 games currently, and more when I get the planning for them done. The second series is a little harder to describe. Imagine that all the occult things we watch in bad movies are real. Image that the goverments and churches know about it. Image the governments made political deals with them. And image that the churches are hunting them. And that the public knows nothing. And also, imagine that there is one man, the 7th generation multiple with a 7 percent chance of exhibiting the powers of an archangel. Imagine that the church's hunting groups found him, raised and trained him. And image that every time he uses his powers he feels an equivalent amount of mental and physical pain, including wounds appearing on his body that coincide with turture methods (used by the church in the inquisition no less). That is the setting I have come up with for three games, each with their own hook. 3rd person fast paced action combat (sword and gun in conjuction) utilizing a combat system that allows fast grappling, using corpses and furniture as mobile shields, puzzle solving, instant power changing to fit different situations, and a penalty system for overusing your powers. (And before anyone says anything, I have never played a Devil May Cry game, so I have no clue if this is anything like one. This idea was influenced more by the Anime Hellsing than anything else, and that only in artistic vision) The third series is a little wierder (and that is saying something). Image Feudal Era Japan. Now, image that the people who inhabit this place, are all of an alien species. Five or more to be exact, each with their own god/dess that is responsible for their creation. Now image that there is a Pantheon Of Balance that keeps the planes of Heaven, Earth, and Hell in equal power (this of course is not revieled until late third game). Now, imagine that the main character is a hard core Samurai General who's master, the Emporer just died. Masterless, he becomes a Ronin. And as a Ronin, he is flawlessly used in a plan to install the Emporer's son as the new Emporer while killing off all that could defy his NEXT plan. The emergence of the peoples of Hell to settle the world they once lived on before being banished with their god. --Oh, and by the way, all the weapons and armors are high technology while eveything else is low tech. People still use plows and oxen, but spears unfold out of a cylinder and armor is stored in a light disk hidden under your clothing. And war machines are built into the bodies of giant beasts. I onlt have 2 games mapped out for this series so far. Oh, 3rd person combat adventure with instant weapon swapping for certain situations. Objective based missions with a randomizing element to them. Money and food requirments for surviving (meaning that in order to make ends meet between big jobs, you have to take minor jobs in local towns in exchange for food and board. A little bit of Seven Samurai influence there). This is the kind of imagination that I have :D

I have already edited my posts and condensed all my "thank you"s to a single post. Which will make it far easier for people to either read them, or if they don't wish to see them, skip them entirely. Even though you never suggested anything like that during you "tantrums" you were still the one that convinced me it was a good idea. Also I removed the "Biography stuff". As it usually turns out, writing something in public just because you are bored is not a good idea at all. So, after comments from multiple people, I understood and removed them. Sugi, sugi. If I felt like posting them in public I would. But thats not really relevent. I was just describing the feeling I got from them. I felt that it was only fair for me to thank them in public because they encouraged me in public. And thanking them infront of stangers as well as people who are familiar with them is a great jesture. It that a wrong thought? Sugi, sugi. Obviously you don't understand why I was acting that way. I did it because I knew it would make you angry. And it would keep you posting. So I could continue to mock you in this thread. And it worked. Don't hate the playah, hate the game. Sugi, sugi. Yeah. That was not very mature of me. But I have always been highly protective of others who are not there (or capable of) standing up for themselves. I've actually started fist fights over that. But most of the time I force the people to act like civilized folk instead. I'm already removing that, because I am ashamed of what I wrote. Sugi, sugi. Well, as a child of a Sicilian father I have been taught to meet aggression with aggression. If you had not had that bit of bite in that post, things would have gone a lot smoother. But that is just as much my fault as it is yours. Probably even more so. Sugi, sugi. Did I ever say I was? Nope. As a matter of fact, like I said earlier, I was goading you into making a fool of yourself. And now I am satisfied. I always win flame wars, because I always know how to manipulate the other person. To quote Brent Sienna of PvP, "You got Ninjaed" Have a good night's rest Aegis!

Really? A gleefull grin crosses the face of the Kunai Then I think I'll like it here. Very much. In fact, to quote MST 3K "I LIKE IT VERY MUCH".

Okay. The reason why I included all the posts? I wanted to thank everyone by name on a more, 'one on one' basis. I can't help but feel that that kind of gesture is more heart warming than just saying "Thank you". And as for your possible reasons for my rereading them, you missed a fourth possible reason. Why do people looking at pictures of family vacations, or read love letters, or listen to songs they heard when the were happy? Because there are good memories and pleasant feelings associated with them. I reread them while I was reposting them because they give me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside myself, akin to that of the remembrance of affection from either a loved one or a stranger. And thats all I have for an explanation right now Aegis. But I'm certain your going to try and twist my words and intentions once again. After all, your the kind of person who has to cling to their self respect in such a way that ever experiencing any kind of arguementative defeat is devastating. That is why I am 100% confident that you are going to respond to this post with something like "HAHAHA! That is so self serving!", or possibly by calling me a lame-o or some such. I will be anxiously awaiting your response (but not really).

Thank you JMR. I will do so. I still have at least 3 subjects to cover on my own, but most of their content is pure conjecture. As such I will have to be careful about how I present my ideas and arguements. It will take a little time and a clear head to do that. And as of right now I have neither. I hope to experience yours and everyone elses patience in this. Domo Arigatou Gosaimashtah

You know Aegis, out of that whole thing, all I really feel the need to respond to (because it is simply not worth the time to write anything down about your other arguements, since I have answered them several times over already) is this. I included that because I felt it was an accurate description of you and your attitude. I decided to use a mature term because the words "a wah-wah-cwy-bwaby-snoty-snot-snot-snot-doody-head" would have been a little juvenial, and thus, mean. Thats not to say it is not an accurate term to use, but I didn't want to take the risk of offending you. Thats why I would never dream of calling you that. And BTW, you try living in constant, mind numbing, body ripping pain for two weeks. It'll seem like a big deal to you as well, I'm fairly certain.

Give me some credit! I left a link on GameFaqs for people to follow. I also told them to check for my gratitude. Also, after I figured out that I was going to be throwing a bunch of stuff in here that doesn't really matter at all I decided to make it Orange. Color coding the part that is not needed gives people the ability to see, and skip it if they want. As for why I put it in in the first place. I was bored. And whenever I write something it is always stream of conscousness and by the seat of my pants. Sure I'll revise it later if I have the mood to do so, but for the most part I write what I do on a whim based on the emotional flow that is running through me at the moment I am writing. And when I reread what I wrote before, some of the memories resurfaced so I just ran with them. Like I said before. I'm wierd. NOTE: I have now edited my previous entries to try and make them easier to read. And this entry itself has been modifies to reflect my efforts as well, while preserving the fact that I did a goofy job of my first attempt.

Thanks man. And FYI, I like your posts. They are well thought out and intelligent. But I still adhere to my own theory. It just seems...a little more right to me as a person. Does that make sense?

Actually Influence does relate to the Atton/T3 one. To gain at least a little influence with both Atton and T3 for it to happen. Can be done at any time before the End Game events start rolling.

As far as I can tell from the 'Deleted ending scenes' topic in this forum, the actual presence of those Jealosy cutscenes you can get between Atton/Disciple and Visas/Brianna were about whether or not Atton or Brianna go evil at the end and try to kill their cut scene counterpart in an attempt to get the love of the Exile. Just one more reason why Lucas Arts screwed this game ending over. If anyone in the industry knows ONE THING its to allow Bioware and it's affiliate people have the time they need to finish the game, and it will be fantastic.

This is the most recent thesis I have writen on the GF boards, in response to lady beth. Please enjoy Originally posted by Kunai_W_O_Chain on GameFAQs KOTOR 2 PC forum: Thank you Lady Beth. I am heartfully grateful to any and all support from people. When someone complements me I get fired up to continue working. And when someone asks quality questions like yours I get fired up as well. In that spirit, I will answer both of your questions. First, the Exile being the end of the Force. Believe it or not, but if the Exile goes down the Dark Side of the Force, when s/he defeats one of the Jedi Masters, th Exile 'consumes' their existence in exactly the same way as Nihilus does. We see evidence of this in the fact that when you kill a Jedi Master you Gain Force Points. What other reason could there be for an event that only occurs when the Exile has some awakening of talent or a sudden boost to hit abilities. When you fight a Jedi Master, you are doing neither Training nor Awakening, but when you KILL them. Boom. Force influx. That is why the Exile is a potential "End to the Force" because just like Nihilus, s/he is capable of consuming the entire universe. As for the second question, I will explain that in the Jedi Masters thesis that will be posted very soon. I'm starting work on it now. Note: I'm doing this to optimize the amount of space I will have for the Jedi Masters thing. Originally posted by Kunai_W_O_Chain on GameFAQs KOTOR 2 PC forum: Jedi Masters: Everything You Wanted To Know About The Order But Were Afraid To Ask My first point I want to make, is that Master Vash was the lucky one out of the four slain Jedi Masters (the Ice Queen of Telos doesn't count since she can live or die). And in this point, I couldn't be happier. Master Vash was the only one in the sentencing chamber that regretted the sentence placed on the Exile. She was the only one who showed the compassion, caring, and insight into their own - as well as the Exile's - behavior. That makes me think that the vote for the sentence was not unanimous that day. By and far, she is the Jedi Master that I like the most. That is why I am glad she died a violent death instead of being Force Drained like the others (if Dark, you drain them, if Light, Kreia drains them). Evidence of Vash dying violently is the fact that when you find her body, there is blood on the ground. So it was caused by either a blaster, blade, or lightsaber (Episode Four: The Cantina, the hand on the ground has the stains of blood near it) that caused the fatal wound. We can also be certain that Nihilus did not kill her because the death occured just before you arrived in the Academy. We know this because there is no decomposition, and Nihilus is notwhere near at the time. That means that Sion tortured and killed her when she had served as bait. Believe it or not, she is STILL the lucky one. Because Vash was not Force Drained, she became one with the Force upon her death. Sure, it was in a Qwi-Gon left-behind-corpse way, but she still became one with the force. The only problem with that I can see is that it happened on Korriban. I suspect that there is a chance to see Vash in Part 3, either as a redeemable spirit on Korriban, or as a phantasm teacher that snuck aboard the Ebon Hawk while it was touched down. After all, Obi-Wan prooved that intergalactic travel is not only possible, but probable as long as you can hitch a ride. Me, I am greatly looking forwar to the possibility that the NEW teacher of prestige classes will be Vash. But Lucas will probably screw that ope over. Now for the Order. The Jedi Masters are not dead. The reason I can say this as fact is four fold. 1. Do you really think that there are only eight Jedi Masters in the entire universe left before Nihilus started eating planets? Especially when Nihilus has not yet gone near the galactic core regions? Fairly presumtuous I would say. 2. The Jedi Order in the movies is STILL saying that love and any kind of emotional attachments are a bad thing. But what does each of the KOTOR games have in it? The main characters saying that the denial of Love is a major failing in the Jedi Code. One that leads to more darkness by shunning those who fall in love. If ANY of the characters from the games were to be teachers, they would not be against love as a part of being a Jedi. Therefore, they are not the ones who preserved or restarted the Order. 3. The events of this game only take place on the Mid-Rim of one section of the galaxy. The Mid-Rim is the portion of the disk shaped star layout that is the galaxy that is just before you get to the last systems, that are themselves THE LAST ONES before the infinite inky blackness of empty and humanly uninhabitable space. And that is only one section of it as well. It takes days to travel from one system to another, that means it would take months or years to travel around th entire galaxy if the layout of the planets were accurate on that stellar chart in the game. That means that only the Jedi Masters who were assigned to that region of space ended up dead. 4. The Jedi Order itself would be incapable of being restarted by a bunch of half trained jedi punks. As much as I like Brianna, Mira, Visas, and Bao-Dur (Atton though...I just can't forgive that one), they are not capable of being teachers, because they know diddly-squat about the force in compariason to a Jedi Knight or a Master. Anyone they train will forever be as effective a Jedi as the Dark Apprentices in KOTOR 1. In conlusion, the Jedi Order is still in hiding and everyone, including the Masters who died in this game, thinks the order is dead. As the Sith have prooven, this kind of thing is very useful when you need to rally your forces after a defeat. And that brings us to the present. I have a few more thesis I will be writing. I also have a few recommendations to make the game more...authentic. Like getting the players to appreciate the pilot of the ship more. But that is another subject.

To Drakron: You want something that messes with the Star Wars universe? Watch Episode 1. I still haven't forgiven that *^$#er for thinking up Medechlorians. And Jar-Jar. And for having huge battle scenes with no non-cgi items in it. Lucas lost everything that made the originals so great. So why are you being a stickler to 'Cannon' when Lucas is promoting 80 games a year about the Star Wars universe? Go play the SW MMO to talk about that crap. Oh. Wait. According to Lucas there are 3 more movies that take place AFTER episode 6 so the MMO isn't cannon! You can't play it! Take that rod outta your hole, break it in half, and shove the blunt ends into your ears! That way you'll never have to hear anything you don't like ever again! A word of advice. If you want to flame me, put some actual thought into what you write. Otherwise, it's open season.

To Helton: WHOA! DAMN! That is some dang fine writing! Just so you know, I am a big fan of Kreia as well. She was able to pull the strings of an entire section of the Galaxy and no one even knew it. The ultimate Consular. I just hope future consulars are as good, because every game needs at least one puppet. BUT! Even though I agree with most what is writen, like the training, the confrontation of ghosts, and especially the repetition of "Making the ultimate warrior" thing, she was not able to free him from destiny and had no intention of doing so. She knew it was his destiny to return to Malachor V. She knew it was his destiny to triumph. And she knew it was his destiny to follow after Revan. Kreia was training him, yes, to be the ultimate warior. But not to free him. If she knows anything about the force, it's that everyone has a destiny. She just gave him a choice in how to go about fulfilling it. And By The Way: Dino-Bot was the coolest one in that show. Anyone who has a death scene that lasts an entire episode and ends with a complete and utter stand alone triumph against superior foes AND numbers? Unbeatable. Unforgetable.

Originally posted by lady beth on GameFAQs KOTOR 2 PC forum: Kunai 1) I would also like to thank you for this topic. I don't at all agree with the negative comments made earlier - they seem pointless. It's not like the story line is crystal clear or uninteresting. 2) I have a question, please. On what did Kreia base her idea that the exile could put an end to the force and why did her plan fail? Wouldn't the exile's reconnection to the force heal the wound made by her cutting herself off from the force (my exile is female). 3) Could you speculate a bit on what happens next, galactically. For example - without Malakor and many of the sith, the teachings of the Jedi were able to spread from the exile and her followers up until the clone wars where again there were many Jedi.

Umm...Which part? If you are going to be contrary and venomous, at least be specific while you're doing it.

This next post is word for word what I wrote down. It may be a little odd reading it. Basically, I copied Aceron's original post for the first part, and I wrote the second. Originally posted by Kunai_W_O_Chain on GameFAQs KOTOR 2 PC forum: Aceron wrote: A: Gain access to the force once again, through them and their force bond, like a leech. B: Train a champion to avenge her downfall at the hands of Nihilus. These two statements in regards to Kreia's motives in seeking a new student. a) is false because by then she believed that having the force was as much a restriction then a tool. b) Is also false because she was never interested in Revenge. And I write: I want to make sure I do justice to this. What was written above it the product of an intelligent, questioning, creative mind. I love meeting people that possess on of those because they are so rare. Part A: Even though Kreia believes, no, KNOWS that possesion of the force is a weakness, a reliance, she would still want access to it. After all, if you felt the warm heartbeat of the universe (or conversely the surging power of all creation, able to be bent to your will) wouldn't you do just about anything to get it back? I believe that regaining full access to the force and eventually making her return to her status as a full Sith Master was a part of her plan from the beginning. But that includes her eventual dethronement as the Sith Master. But that comes in part two. Regaining mastery of the Force is a major goal for her. We KNOW that her ability to use the force was damaged severely (probably not removed alltogether like I previously wrote, but majorly stunted). She was able to evade assassins by using the technique she used against Sion on the Harbinger and the Jedi Masters along the course of the plot. But that was all she was able to do. Hide. She is one proud prude. She would want to come out of hiding triumphant, and that means gaining full access to the force once again. Hence finding a promasing individual to attach herself to. Preferably one that draws chaos to him/her. "Through conflict we grow strong". Having a force bond and lots of "exercise" would eventually bring back her old abilities. The final strokes to her ressurection is either A:Consuming 3 Jedi Masters at Dantooine, or B: leeching the power of the Jedi Masters off the Exile when s/he consumes them. Even though reliance on a tool is weakness, as she admited, she would also be the first to say that it is a reliance any Jedi would be glad to have. At least IMHO she would. I still believe that the reason Kreia said it was an addiction is because she likes to mes with people's heads. Saying that right then and there would really mess with my head if I were Atton. Originally posted by Kunai_W_O_Chain on GameFAQs KOTOR 2 PC forum: Part B: Kreia says that Nihilus really is the death of the universe. Kreia is part of the universe. If she cannot control him, as was shown in the "Cast Down" movie, she would want him eliminated. She never once said, "If at all possible I would have wanted you to avoid fighting him EVER." She was just loath to send you in before you were ready. Sort of like Visas. From the beginning Kreia saw that you had potential. And the empty cavity of your soul from rejecting the Force once was a weapon she saw as being similar to Nihilus, who turned out more powerful than her (but only cause he hit her while she wasn't looking). But I DID mistype when I said she wanted to be avenged. When I have a thesis paper rolling in my head I miss some things Kreia wanted to be surpassed in every way possible by her best student to date. In the Sith "Proove your the best" tests, you have to kill. And to proove s/he is the best student the Exile has to kill all the other 'best students' within range. That includes Nihilus. She had been training the Exile for that encounter from the start. She just didn't come out and say it. I mean, she's a manipulator, of course she wouldn't. So, no, Kreia didn't want revenge on Nihilus. But she did want him to die at the hands of the Exile. Which is why she went to all the trouble of setting Nihilus up to be at Taris at the same time as the Exile. At the end, Kreia just wanted the Exile to be stronger than her, and she didn't care whether or not s/he was Light Dark, even though she was pure sadistic evil (as evidenced by the removed cutscenes that can be found on the Obsidian forums links in text). I hope that has cleared things up.

To Great Phantom: You don't have to worry about the narative thread here. I'm recalling things that have happened in the past. What you are asking right now is new to me. But yes, Kreia was, at that time, not a Sith Master. But she was in charge of Sith Holocrons. And the Sith teachings spread through the ranks during the Mandalorian War. That, to me, says that Revan collected the teachings before he went to war. And Malachor? Further out in space than the original front line when the war started. There would be no way for Revan to visit the place before the war started. The Sith teachings, they may not have been a complete set. No, it is most likely they were incomplete, becuause of the Insame Sith Teacher doing that research into Sith ethics inside the tombs, the one who played that little game with you, remember? If they had complete knowledge of the Sith, that would not exist. But incomplete knowledge and teachings will still corrupt people. As far as the Exile's strength. In the last level, the Exile fights alone. Begnning to end, no contact with other people except a breif lull to kill enemies (most of which act like syphons of the force, the assassins who become as strong as you are when they are near you). You are not drawing strength. If anything you would be loosing it if you had not: A. Light Side - Reconnected yourself enough to the force to have a supply of it run through you directly. B. Dark Side - You built up such a resevoir of power from the killing of the Jedi Masters to allow you to survive the trial and then reunite with your allies. At least thats my take on it. Hey, I could be one of those Star Trek Technobable guys I'm so good at this!
