JawaJoey Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 How did Nihilus look? With his eyes of course! But seriously, I'm wondering what the general populace's impressions of the way Nihilus looked is. Personally, I think he looks ridiculous. He's like a retarded clown woman. An UGLY, retarded clown woman. But since I have shockingly encountered more than one other person who thinks he isn't totally stupid looking, I began to wonder what the general opinion was. Note: This post an I are obviously biased , but that doesn't mean the poll is. Don't let my opinion influence your vote. I'm genuinely curious. Note 2: This thread is about Nihilus's appearance ONLY. Its not about how much he sucked in a fight or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Architect Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I thought Nihilus looked spooky, especially with that mask of his. He creeped me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Scream mask, anyone? It's such an overdone look, and he didn't really pull it off very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace MacLeod Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 With his tendency to suck the life out of things and his voice (such as it is), I always pictured him as a cross between a vacuum cleaner and Speak, loyal mascot of The Tick. Here's a link w/ picture for easy reference. Don't forget to scroll down. http://www.thetick.ws/tvsk.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Extremely kewl. The mask was an original design, and a bad guy with a cape was a good addition. It seemed to reflect that hunger of his very well. But it's all personal taste here, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I voted cool, but I think he's kinda scary too. Not scary as in a "hide under my bed cuz i think he's gunna come get me" scary, but a "tough, bad guy don't wanna make him angry" kinda way.

Anakin Skywalker Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I vote stupid, I do think he looks stupid that Damn ugly mask, injunction with that Dark Robe= OMFG, he looks like a major DORK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 In my opinion, Nihilus looked very cool. He had that dark, mysterious persona, which had faded after the initial impression of Vader. He was just uber, excellent, numero uno, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 When I saw a wallpaper featuring Nihilus fighting Atris (I didn't know that at that time of course) I really thought he looked cool... a crossover between V (from the movie Vendetta) and Revan.

jonathan7 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think he looked cool, and like a proper Star Wars villan, I was just disapointed he wasnt in the game more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 When I see him, I think he looks retarded, but if I see Malak at the same time, he looks good. So, while he may not be that scary/cool, he dosent look so bad considering what his predecesor looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I voted cool. When I first saw the cover art I could not wait to find out who was behind the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantzen Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I think he looks cool, and like some of the other sayed, the cover art of him is very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Scary. He's so unlike most Star Wars villains, and his mysterious nature just adds to that, making him even creepier. We needed a villain that was different from the usual "I'm all power and evil incarnate" and instead offered some real mystery and unknown evil, and Nihilus is pretty good at that.

Melly Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I voted neutral I think he looks interesting, but not scary. (Not like when I first pulled my Star Wars Insider out of the mailbox and dropped it because Darth Maul was looking back at me. That was scary.) But he does have an intriguing mysterious look about him. I mean that stark almost white mask and the black holes with no eyes, speaks volumes of the soulless individual within those robes.

The Sith'ari Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Melly, actually he does have eyes beneath that mask, from the pic Jawajoey posted at the start of this thread. He looks mysterious, but the mask is Utterly Ugly. What kind of design is that? He looks like a dorkish polar bear. And why the two bulging points at the top of his head? Is he a twilek? From the shape of it in the picture he does seem to be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Isn't the outline of the mask a bit too much like General Greivous? I think he's okay. A little scary--a little goofy. sort of mysterious. All in all, a small time person with little to no history or personality consumed by nothingness. Nothingness can posses one to become extremely destructive and hungry. It's true in real life--so why not have a character that exemplifies that very same thing? Still as far as a plot, not the best character. Darth nothing or nothingness or Nobody would also work for him I wonder just how ugly he was beneath it all. Like jason Voorhees perhaps? Sort of looks like ICP--yes I said ICP, so shut the hell up. ICP is comedy, metal, and old school rap. Neither they nor their fans care about the big success nor being super great at musical talent--they'll even admit they suck at making music--but people listen to and like it. They have their own message and it isn't talking $&*^ about everybody to get ahead in the world, and then giving them hugs onstage. Or prasing people and then turning on them. Its a message of being real. Hug you child or it may end up going off the deep end. Still, needs something to keep it from being too lackluster.

Diego Varen Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Before I bought the game, when I saw the concept art of him fighting Atris, I thought he looked great. In the game, however, he was scary/ugly/stupid and he started my life long hatred against him. Despite my hatred for him, I might write a Fic about his past life.

Taos Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 When I first saw him long ago, before the game was out, I thought it was kinda scary looking. Then after facing him, I thought he looked pretty silly. Scream mask, anyone? It's such an overdone look, and he didn't really pull it off very well... Yeah really, I have to agree with you there.

Jeff Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Before the game came out I thought he looked sweet but he was just OK once you met him in-game. I thought Sion was designed a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Before the game came out I thought he looked sweet but he was just OK once you met him in-game. I thought Sion was designed a lot better. Agreed 100% though my top Kudos still remain for Kreia... Nihilus was probably the least time consuming of all the characters to develop. No facial modeling other than a mask. A cover-detail robe/cowl (black I might add) and no dialog other than slowing down an audio track along with some "filler noise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Sion was designed a lot better. I agree that Sion was designed better. He was my favourite of the three Sith Lords in TSL, with Nihilus being the worst of them.

igyman Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Nihilus looked cool and scary. I voted cool, because I consider the scaryness to be a part of his coolness (but if this was a multiple choice poll, I would have voted both options).

CSI Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I voted cool, too. Mysterious would get most vote if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
