Eddo36 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Shouldn't Malak have been the Lord of Betrayal? Traya got nothing on him.
kirottu Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Malak is stupid. Darth Traya totally owns him. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Well all that Malak did was atack his master while he was in trouble...not a great betrayer " Kreia on the other hand betrayed the Jedi,the Sith and the Exile
anakins revenge Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 yeah, Malak was just too dumb to orchestrate that
RoadReaction Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Malak is stupid. Darth Traya totally owns him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Traya was bitch and besides you shouldnt be posting that name on this forum. She was weak and pathetic, Malak knows war, Traya does not she is an dillusional old woman who has her pathtic apprentices do her dirty work. At least Malak has the balls to annihilate all thsoe who oppose him, his speach is filled with hate noit cryptic words. She is Uber pathethic! yeah, Malak was just too dumb to orchestrate that <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Malak fought the mandalorian wars, any jedi that survived have much honor, Traya didnt even fight <_< what a pathetic jedi. There is nothing there for you Jedi, only weakness surrounds the Jedi Order, just Give in
Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 We're talking bout the master betrayer here and not the better warrior :D As for Malak's combat tactics(more important for a leader than brute force) I'm gonna say 1 word: Zero :D ...without the Star Forge the Republic would have kicked his sorry ass
darth spock Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Malak is awesome -- he's got battle scars are awesome tattoos on his head! He blows up planets and hires people to do his servant work. Kreia just kinda says "Oh hell I'll do it myself". She doesn't blow anything up, she loses a hand, and manipulates. At least Malak relies on his strength.

Flyboi Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Considering that Kreia was one of the masters who taught Revan I seriously doubt Malak would posed any challenge to her. She would have twisted and manipulated him without concentrating.
Darth Vader Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Malak is a big girl.He's too dumb to be scary.He could have been one of the bad guys in thundercats...

sotos Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 The Exile won Darth Traya at the end of KOTOR2 Traya tried to manipulate him and did not succeed but at the end he wins her and decide his fate didn't' he?? Who says that Malak could not do the same...

From when a user of a Dark side knows what love is She\he betrays him and hides in Malachor 5 knowing that he will come for her while Darth Sion would be there to kick his a$$ And even if Darth Sion does not succeed he will use him as her new apprentice or else destroy him There is no love she\he just try to manipulate matters and she FAILS at the end
Baley Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 No I belive she really loved him(her)..for me Kreia is neither Jedi nor Sith She loved what (s)he was ...the possible destroyer of what she considered her "tormentor" -the force

Baley Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Not really.. Kreia's main goals on Malachor was to train the Exile ...that was what she wanted...she knew that he would need to defeat Sion and her to gain enough power for the final battle against the true sith. But there is still a posibility(and I would love it) that K3 will have an altenative ending finishing with the end of the Force...with 3 Sith Lords defeated Exile would be extreamly powerful and his unique ability makes him way stronger than any other character in the games.. Well why would Kreia defeat Malak...well she has her Exile puppet :D Exile is more than a mach for Malak (mainly because of the events on Malachor 5)..Kreia doesn't need to fight to win she makes her puppets do anything for her
Darth Somethingorother Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Just back-tracking a bit, about Darth Traya and the Madalorian War; If she wasn't in the war, why does Vrook say at the end; "You (Kreia)! We thought you had died in the Mandalorian war!" Sorry to go back to that, because its always puzzled me, and as it was brought up earlier, I thought I'd pose the question. Kreia was easily a greater master of betrayals than Malak. The art of betrayal is to time it so as to get yourself in the best possible position for you. This requires forethought. In looking for the Star Maps and defying the Jedi Council, he wasn't so much betraying the Jedi as just following Revan. Like a "bitch" as some people would have it. When he betrayed Revan, he actually left himself in a very bad position- it was the height of a war which, with Bastilla's help, was beginning to turn against the Sith. So he got rid of Revan when the Sith most needed him/her, to use his keen tactical mind to counter Bastilla's battle meditation. This meant he had to go about the time consuming business of turning Bastilla to the Dark Side. Not only this, but he fractured the Sith into those who beleived that he was the rightful Sith Lord, and those who weren't so sure. As a result, he needed to order summary executions to stop this rift- a complete waste of troops. He wasn't a betrayer at all, he was a "bitch" with ideas above his station- an opportunist with all the forethought of a rabbit on a motorway. Darth Traya , on the other hand, had it all planned from the beginning, and got what she wanted at the end . Go figure. Blue lorry yellow lorry blue lorry yellow lorry blorry. D'oh.

metadigital Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Malek is just a cardboard-cutout, shallow, pantomime villain; a charicature of evil so easily identified as "the bad guy" for all the young members of the audience (and those in the cheap seats). Kreia represents a deeper, more complex character: the concept of bad (being "less than good") versus evil and the insidious qualities of negligence and the perversion of good intentions for self-interest. There just wasn't any backup to the concept; the nakedness was more suited to a plastic bad guy, like Malak. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
