  1. Maybe, maybe not. Though potential doesn't mean squat unless you know how to reach it full on. True, though I'd say Palpatine has more knowledge than Korriban aswell, since not all the books their teach you every single Dark Side power and how to defend against them or how to use a Force Storm successfully, which neither Revan nor Bane have been described as using at all. So? Wanting and having a thirst for knowledge doesn't mean anything unless you have all of it and know how to use to it's full power, which is exactly what Palpatine did. Kreia is a fallible source, for all we know she could've been exaggerating or lying about him, considering her pride in him as her student could've blinded her judgment. That and she never knew Palpatine, so that factors in. Like I said; Wanting and having a thirst for knowledge doesn't mean anything unless you have all of it and know how to use to it's full power, which is exactly what Palpatine did. Proof? Sorry, I'd maybe put Revan as a powerful Force user if he'd been given more of a backstory, but he does, he doesn't even come close to Palpatine. Sorry to sound like a Palpatine-fanboy, but I'm not, I'm just passing this info along that way incase you ever get into a debate with someone, you won't be called a Revan fanboy.
  2. I have to agree with that. Ever since DE, they've been making Luke to an almost Dragon Ball Z level character, but nevertheless, it's still canon. Do you have any sources to prove that? No offence, but I don't think Revan or Bane are as powerful as Palpatine. First of all, neither of them could even hope to make a Force Storm on Palpatine's scale, and if they did, they most likely wouldn't be able to control it. That and I don't think Revan or Bane have any of the knowledge Palpatine has, since neither have been shown to pull off anything Palpatine could or couldn't, aswell as being able to transfer their soul's to another body and being able to overpower that body's soul. That and neither have been referred to as knowing all darkside powers and how to defend against them including Sith Amulet blasts, or knowing the Fallanassi technique above or being described as' faster than the eye could see' or 'the best of best' in saber fighting. Hell, even the Sith spirit's on Korriban respected and feared Palpatine, as shown in Empire's End #1, if that doesn't show he's the most powerful Sith ever, then I don't know what is. We don't really know how powerful Revan or Bane were since we've seen/read less about them than we have Palpatine. For all we know the Force powers Palpatine used were developed by either Revan or Bane-or some other Lord of the Sith we've never heard about. Palpatine might have been useing powers that were known to all the Lords of the Sith that came after Bane-ie the Sith who were in hiding for a thousand years-it could be that he was just better or more skilled in using them, or he had more oppotunity to use them after the Jedi were gone. Lets face it if you are attempting to hide you don't want to do something that might warn the people your hiding from that you are around. The ability to put himself in a different body is, from what I seem to remember reading, orignally a Jedi-rather than a Sith-skill that Palpatine stole and used himself. This came from the book DarkSabre, although LA might not consider this as being absolute truth. It is also worth pointing out that Palpatine could only put himself into bodies that either had no mind/will of their own-his own clones-or into very young children, such as Anakin Solo. It seems that the ability does not work on adults-or at least not force sensitive adults as I'm assuming that swaping places with a none force sensitive person would leave him unable to use the force. The problem with Palpatine is that for a long time he was, in effect, the only Sith Lord anyone was writing about, so the writers went to town. In order to make him seem like a serious threat the writers gave him abilities that made a Death Star look like a toy, without asking 'well, if he was that powerful why didn't the Sith crush the Jedi eons ago....Why bother building the Death Stars and why did he need Vader?....' GL's comments that Palpatine was the most powerful Sith Lord ever are an attempt to explain this, without having to suddenly take all the EU works that have Palpatine in them and declare them non-cannoncal. In future I don't think we will ever see a Lord of the Sith who can do all of the same things Palpatine could, or if they can they will make sure their powers come at a serious price-Nilhus being a good example of a very powerful Sith with some serious limitations. Agreed. Though DE Sourcebook specifically states Palpatine is the only one who knew what Force Storms were and how to control. But like you said, the rest is speculation, though considering Palpatine is basically described as the Anti-Christ of the SW Universe, I'd say he's pretty much the only one who could use a few of those techniques successfully without it going out of control or just not working at all. Do you have a paragraph or sentence that describes that from Darksaber? I don't believe the Jedi would willfully use a technique like that considering it goes against their morals by taking something from somebody else, as it would be a bit too extreme and self-centered to be Jedi-like by stealing someone else' body. Actually, Palpatine managed to get into the body of one of his old Emperor's Hand's and that's how he got to Byss in the first place, though after he left the body, the guy went insane. GL never commented that Palpatine was the most powerful Sith ever, though he does imply it by saying "Yoda or Mace are the only one's strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Palpatine", though the ROTS Novel and NEC does say that "Yoda couldn't defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in History', so, yeah. Nevertheless, it's still canon. Besides, Palpatine gets powerful GRADUALLY, he doesn't get all of it in one night. As I recall, after TPM, he never used his saber again until Mace and The Posse confronted him and had to tone it down on the Force Powers and Sith Alchemy to keep himself away from being suspected by the Jedi. After the Purge, Palpatine doesn't have to worry about the Jedi and starts to practice with Force Powers and Sith Alchemy without worry, which by a few months before ANH, he's powerful enough to fry an entire room of genetically-altered Stormtroopers with Force Lightning(From SW: Empire comics, BTW) with ease.
  3. Yeah, the never mention the bug I have. I think I may delete all my Saved Slots and see what happens. Thanks for your help guys, I'll post back here after I see if it does anything.

  5. Tried both already, but the problem still persists. No visible scratches on the disk either. Man, this game has more bugs than the Florida Everglades! How in the hell did it get past beta anyway?
  6. That and coupled with the knowledge and holocrons he found in the remains of the Ossus Jedi Temple aswell as the knowledge Palpatine taught him in DE, along with knowing a few very rare techniques like Electric Judgment and the Fallanassi technique where you can separate yourself from the Force and not be cut off from it, and you pretty much got the best damn Jedi ever. And Palpatine knew far more than 1,000 years worth of knowledge. DE Sourcebook and NEC state that he knows every darkside technique ever made and knows how to defend against them, including Sith Amulet blasts, aswell as the Force Storm technique and being able to endow his minions with some of his power and to switch bodies by overpowering the soul within an occupied body and knowing the mentioned Fallanassi technique above, and you'd pretty much have the best Sith Lord ever right there(NEC and ROTS Novel state that by ROTS, he's the most powerful Sith Lord in History itself).
  7. Luke and Sidious. Read the Dark Empire series and you'll find out why.
  8. For some reason, everytime I open up a dialouge with one of the NPCs, in the dialouge box, it saying different things like 'spawn1character, mines grenades are useful, etc). Help?(I'm using Xbox, BTW). EDIT: Now it's mentioning something about M4-78 and a console. Jesus, what the heck has happened to my game?
  9. My sig is the 'extended version' of the gif above. Even then, it is the 'unfinished' version, so we don't really have any confirmation that this is the real deal Venom we're going to see in Spidey 3. I helped.
  10. Kreia was a pretty good character, in my opinion. Kind of like a more patient and scheming Palpatine, except in woman form.
  11. You know what would be a really awesome idea for KOTOR 3? That they make it.
  12. I never did find any of the rare robes. I played game amost exactly 8 times, and still haven't found any of them...<_<
  13. It helps your stealth abilites out. Meaning it modifies them to be alittle bit better than they would be with 'Sneak Attack'. 'Sneak Attack' is a feat and modifier, not a power.
  14. 1. Where does it say this? Source please. 2. No. Telos was defenseless. Even Carth says so; "Saul commanded that the planet surrender. The planet refused, and he proceeded to devastate the planet(Or surface.) and there wasn't a damn thing we could do about it." The only time the Rep ships got there was after it got bombed, and that was to rescue any survivors from the assault, that weren't picked up by the Sith. 3. What can we say? Malak was nothing but an impatient, power hungry fool.
  15. I wouldve thought so, if he didn't try to prevent Malak from bombing Taris. I mean, he already destroyed the innocent people on Telos without any hesitation, so why would he try to prevent Taris destruction? It doesn't make sense. Thoughts?
  16. Agreed. Accept it, Blivion. He may have been a Sith Lord, but hstopped once he gave up their teachings. He's no more than a darksider with hunger. What does this prove: Someone shouldve told Nihilus to get a Snickers bar or two.
  17. I know, thats why I said it sounded like something he would say. His grammar is atrocious for that matter. Where has he been anyway? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he thinks (again) that we are stupid idiots and meanies and has left the forums... for a while <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "OMG Xard!11! j00 are a meanie an ah st00pid for talking beihnd mi bac!11! Git owt of here j00 Sidious fanboi!!11!@@2!"- OPG when he returns. :D
  18. I know, thats why I said it sounded like something he would say. His grammar is atrocious for that matter. Where has he been anyway?
  19. Choice. I like your sig, sounds like something OPG would say. 'Arugment', lol.
  20. I strongly agree with Architect's thinking, he even makes a valid example to further solidify his argument. Sorry Blivion, but Architect's right. You can't be a Sith Lord and not follow the Sith teachings, if you do, you're no more than a Dark Jedi, but in Nihilus case, he doesn't really care, he's just out for himself. And it's now 4-2.
  21. Nar Shaddaa- I like city planets, and it was beatiful looking at the lights and business stuff. Onderon/Dxun- Same above, but it was beatiful looking at the scenery, especially the Palace and the action towards the end. Telos- Kinda felt futuristic in Station, and it offered some beautiful scenery in the apartment aswell as the Cantina and swoop racing. Dantooine-Alright, but kind of unessicary. Peragus-Boring, but kind of like a mystery, and VERY creepy when investigating the Harbinger. Korriban- VERY CREEPY, especially the tomb of Ludo Kressh part. But, again, kind of unessicary. Malachor V- Creepy, but the me finding out about the cut stuff part just downright sucks. So much to explore, yet so little time...
  22. It would be cool if you could have the chance to cut your enemies double-saber saber in-half(If they're wielding one, that is.), and they could use the damaged-but-still-functioning end. Same applies to your PC and NPCs aswell.
