Yes actually he is pretty cool, but it takes a while to think that... he would have been very strong if you faced him when his power is at its best.

It would've been nice if he spoke english/basic.

Revan isn't Nihilus, just shut up. Morons.

Guys remember Kreia's flashback? That flashback took place before Revan and Malak, after Kreia had trained Revan. Nihilus was in it, while Revan was on his crusade. Nihilus in fact existed before Revan. So what are you guys trying to say? That Revan possessed Nihilus's body or something? Guys I know you want to believe it but its not true. Also just because Nihilus is wearing a mask does not make him Revan. And Women shouldnt vote. They know nothing about politics.

Great post and nice to see someone defend Darth Nihilus  ;)

 

This game is definitively not a game that you rush through, you need to take your time and explore the characters and the dialog to find out what's going. It won't spoon-feed you anything. Guess it

To whoever said Nihilus was around before Revan: Revan was born before Nihilus, most likely.

 

But yes perhaps Nihilus and Sion were sitting around waiting to attack the Jedi and the Republic until KOTOR 2... but how can you know if Kreia's "flashback" was when you said it was?

You're right, I dont know when Kreia's flashback was, but she told it as if it was a long time ago. And Revan would not have served Sion.

Perhaps Sion was a follower of Revan, he keeps referring to Revan as Lord Revan.

So does everyone else.

 

It's a title, he's a lord. Sion isn't his follower.

Nihilus fell during Malachor V, Sion was a victim of the Koriban Sith in-fighting. Kreia was blamed for Revan's fall and cast out of the order.

 

Revan formed the Sith out of fallen Jedi and outer rim/ex-republic troops and the teachings he discovered. There weren't any Sith Lords sitting around before that time. Kreia's flashback took place between K1 and K2. It couldn't possibly have occurred before.

No. He's the only one that said Lord Revan in KOTOR 2. The rest said just Revan or Darth Revan.

Blah I don't exactly remember who said what.

 

Regardless, all darths are lords. Even Jedi Masters would call them lords, because it's their title.

 

Darth and Lord are interchangeable.

Exactly, cause palpatine calls Darth Vader, Lord Vader on a few occasions.

There you have it.

Yes but it still seems a bit peculiar why Sion would be the only one to refer to Revan as Lord Revan, but very well.

How the hell is Nihilis not Revan?

 

Because Nihilis is you.

Do you mean the name or the fact that Nihilus and the Exile are

alike (they both can feed off their victims)

?

Umm... Darth  Maul didn't have any dialogue...

 

Umm... yes he did. :o" Admittedly, he has only one real line that I remember, which he speaks only to Darth Sidious (Palpatine) outside of some skyscraper on Courescant, but it is some dialog.

I believe Maul said something like "At last we shall have revenge" and I also remember "Fear is my ally".

Where is it proven that Revan is still alive when Nihilus is not? I've only played through the game once so far, so that may be something I never chanced upon. :)

 

If I remember correctly, on light side when you've defeated the main villain (left unnamed for the sake of those who haven't played it yet), that villain tells you the fate of your companions, and if you ask, the fate of Revan. That villain implies that Revan is still alive.

 

Am I remembering this incorrectly?

Darth Nihilus and the Exile are the same person. When the Exile seperated himself from the Force, that aspect of him became Nihilus. In the beginning of the game, the Exile is an empty man, hungering for the Force and Nihilus is empty, hungering for a trace of humanity, since he can't have it, he tries to satisfy his hunger with the Force.

 

Notie how Visass does not tell the exile what she sees when she removes Nihilus' mask? Also the Exile's force points increase once he has the mask indicating that he is now complete.

 

Anyway, that's just my theory.

Interesting theory Bataar!

 

I like it :) Makes sence and also explains part of the storyline!

Well she does tell you what she sees. She says it's just a man. Which can't be you if you are playing as a woman.
