| I don't know a lot about the expanded universe, if anything, but I've played and love both Kotor games and I think there is an insane amount of potential for awesomeness in Kotor 3.
I couldn't place a vote because I think the game would be best if both were included. It wouldn't be too hard for the setting to take into consideration Revan and the Exile's variables (gender and alignment), but I think both of them have to be included in it.
Here are a few vague ideas I've had:
Since at this point the Jedi are all but wiped out, perhaps the Sith could now have complete control over the galaxy, but are now fighting among themselves.
There has to be something 'special' about the PC (ie: Revan is Revan, the Exile is a wound in the force etc). Usually they start out as an underdog of some sort, so figuring out how this is gonna work would be difficult. One idea I had is that you start out as a disillusioned Sith apprentice who abandoned his master and is being hunted. What I was thinking was that the Dark Side has no real power over the PC, in that all that anger or fear or whatever that tends to make people fall to the dark side doesn't work on them. They can still be an *******, just not "UNLIMITED POWAAA" evil.
The first planet could consist of PC being found by the Sith and hunted, but saved by the Exile, who kills the PCs master, then escapes the planet in the Ebon Hawk of course, and then takes on a role somewhat like Kreia. The Exile could then train the PC while continuing her search for Revan. This is why they need to visit different planets. I figure they need to find Revan pretty quickly, because the main focus of this game needs to be the true sith. The second planet they visit could be the one that leads them to the area of space Revan disappeared to. Revan (who now has an apprentice) finds them though, and is now a Sith lord (again perhaps) and tries to kill them for a while. But after a while it turns out that Revan was just sizing them up, and perhaps trying to serve another goal in the process. This would be an intricate plot seeing as Revan is a master strategist. I haven't thought of one but it'd be cool right? Revan is not a follower, but his apprentice is.
At this point the war with the true sith kicks in and the reason they're the only ones who stand a chance is that they all have power over the dark side like the PC. Revan because of his memory wipe/extreme intellect and power, and the Exile because of Malachor V and/or Kreia's teachings.
Yeah, I've thought about this a lot. I'm sorry if any of it breaks canon or anything like that, but as I said I'm not too familiar with the SW universe except the Kotor games. Still, I hope there are at least some good ideas in there.
I think I typed a lot, thanks for reading if you did!
