XantosTheSith Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Where would you rank him on the sith power scale? I have yet to see a mention of him in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakystarwarfan Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hes been dead for ~300 years but i would rank him quite high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickedcarny Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 On a scale of 1-10? probably an 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soujirop Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ultra high, he ****ed an entire planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geicojacob Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If I remember right he is the lord of hunger and eats the force to fuel himself...I would say that is very impressive and I'd put him at a 9.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NephilimNexus Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Which makes me wonder, now - why are Miraluka a playable race when in KOTOR they establish that their entire species was wiped out by Darth Nihilus. Are we to believe that Visus Marr managed to not only achieve parthogenesis but also do it enough times to repopulate their entire race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmarshal Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Which makes me wonder, now - why are Miraluka a playable race when in KOTOR they establish that their entire species was wiped out by Darth Nihilus. Are we to believe that Visus Marr managed to not only achieve parthogenesis but also do it enough times to repopulate their entire race? Katarr the homeworld of the Miraluka was destroyed but many members of the species were offworld when the devastation occurred, in fact they adopted an Expansion Region planet called Alpheridies as their new home after Katarr's destruction. KOTOR II says that Visas is the only survivor of the Katarr attack not the last of her species. Edited December 29, 2011 by usmarshal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urivial Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Meh, other sith have destroyed whole planets. I'd say Nihilius was as strong as most 'Dark Lords of the Sith' (meaning those sith who rose to the top) but at the same time, his hunger consumed him. If we're comparing him against all other Force users, I'd put him at around 7/10. He didn't really keep his free will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeKinsill Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 In terms of sheer power, I'd say he pretty much maxed out (ignoring the idea he was enslaved to it, as all Sith essentially are). Besides eating an entire planet, he killed some of the most powerful Jedi, including master Vandarr and any other Masters that survived Malak's attack of Dantoine (exception given to the 3 that show up in KOTOR 2).

Rayla_Felana Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Darth Nihilus is a dark horse, he(If we can even call him human) is neither Sith nor Jedi, he is just the dark side, he was only ever even weakened by feeding off of Echoes and wounds in the force, its the only reason he was killed, he could strip away force power from anyone at anytime, clearly this didn't work on Meetra Surik, he could very well be the most powerful Dark Side entity of all time, we just don't know, and i doubt we ever will.

Skoll- Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Keep in mind Nihilus left his physical body behind to inhabit his armor. That's pretty bad-*** to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaulsy Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Keep in mind Nihilus left his physical body behind to inhabit his armor. That's pretty bad-*** to me. I agree! I know we've had some pretty powerful Sith Lords that have created empires but the fact that Nihilius fought for nothing other than to consume beings and the force.. pretty sadistic stuff.

Dslayer Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ...Wait. He left his physically body and inhabited his armour? Okay... that is pretty bad ***. 9/10 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoll- Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 His body was just rotting away so he just said **** it and transferred the essence of his being into his armor. If KOTOR 2 wasn't so rushed, the ending and his story probably would have been way more epic and fleshed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vurdikt Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Definitely a 10/10 as far as raw power goes. The guy could devour an entire planets life force. But he had weaknesses, such as being a slave to his hunger, and almost inability to comprehend an individual being (he was so powerful he saw whole planets through the force, but not someone right in front of him). However.... The Sith Emperor demonstrated a similar ability on Nathema, yet still manages to maintain his free will and mental acuity. He is thus arguably far more dangerous.

Ludoscape Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Im hoping nihilus mask/helmet is an available armor item... Also Exar Kun's lightsabre....malak's....Treya's....ok there is a ton of items i hope are in the game....a prototype star forge might be cool to visit too... Back to topic, i think he is very similar in concept to the emperor...a proto-emperor ... Veeeery strong, but he is all hunger and passion, no real individual left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
