User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/CONTENT RELEASE: New short story released, plus updated TCO prologue/@comment-29301-20100302030352

Yeah I know, I'm a regular Mycroft Holmes.

Reminds me of a story I once considered writing that would be the last half (or something) of KotOR II from Darth Nihilus' POV. I distinctly recall forming a number of important details for the writing style in my head. Nihilus' words would never be directly translated for the reader and he'd probably never be referred to by name. I also remember deciding early on that one of the primary focuses would be his loss of humanity to his own power; as I envision him, his senses in the Force are so ridiculously high that he can literally sense the overall state of mind of the galaxy (if that makes sense), can sense all the life on countless billions of planets at once, and has Force visions of stuff from the past, stuff in the present, and the potential future dozens or hundreds of times every hour. At the same time, however, it takes immense concentration just to bring his conscious mind back into his body so he can see what's going on in the room he's standing in.

I'm not sure why I wrote that mini-essay up there. Sorry for wasting both our time. :/
