Maria's conjectures
Boiler:
1) Darth Nihilis. His point in the story was... what? Sure I *thought* he was the new Lord of the Sith, or something similar, which was causing all this trouble. When you run into him, he is nothing. What he is, why he is doing what he is, his background with Visas (and her background with him)... never explained. He just ends up being nothing other then one more person I have to kill."
At first, he was a boogie man. He drained worlds of life while Sion hunted down Jedi. Ultimately, he was there to show you the effect you had on the galaxy. That's one of the reasons that Kriea always talked about ripples in the Force. It's like the beggar and the thugs on Nar Shaddan. You thought Malikor V was a good act when you did it but the result was the creation of Darth Nillis.
" 2) Darth Sion. Led to believe he is in charge of a different sect of Sith. See him, along with Nihilis, defeat Kreia in a cut scene and watch him cut off her hand. Only to suddenly be Kreia's student again... what!?"
Sith apprentices kill their Mentors in time but Sion didn't. His first chance he stripped her of her powers and cast her out and the second time he chopped off her had, which we learn is the old Jedi way of marking a cast-off. He never passes the Sith lithmas test, so to speak, and remains under her thumb. She simply doesn't apply pressure until the right moment, when you've gown as powerful as he and returned to Malikor V.
" 3) Atris. I spoke with Atris at the end, getting a dialog option to the effect of "You have fallen to the Dark Side, you must realize that" -- when I myself haven't realized that. We see (or hear about) her 4 times. (1) at the beginning, no indication she has fallen. (2) Kreia talks about her, with no indication she has fallen or is heading down that path. (3) The second time we see her, *bam* we suddenly know she has somehow fallen."
How do you know she's fallen to the dark side? Atris has set up an academy in the middle of a frozen, dead-zone; surrounded herself with virtual clones who are deaf to the force; and spends her time in a meditation chamber filled with Sith holocrons that constantly speak to her. That and Kreia tells you that Attris is walking the same path she did before she became a Sith. Oh, and as you're now completely in touch with the force you can probably feel the darkness in her meditation chamber.
" (4) At the end when Kreia talks about having to stop Atris' teachings... huh? ...exactly what teachings are these?"
Atris plans on creating a new Jedi academy
