@ Kaja Sinis : yes thanks you understood me not many people do thank you lol

@ Darth Zenemij: well i guess i do see why you dont want revan back after seeing the other posts but like i said before i think the storyline will be like safe and good with revan back and i guess thats why i want him back (i meant to say imply that)

tj_92 · #17 (**permalink**) 07-02-2005, 01:42 AM

but also i think many of us like unraveling the story line for the character is that why you dont wanna be himbecause you've learned his story and background people? but if you ask me 'theres still milk in the star wars knights of the old republic revan teet and im offering you all to suck it with me and find out whats in there?' (stolen from MTV movie awards the quotation thing but i replaced some words)

I also diidnt do rpgs until kotor and i wont play any other rpg apart from kotor series but i would also like to see planets which look abit more bright because alot of the worlds on kotor 2 are quite gloomy.

I would like to see Revan Back but not as a main character. In my mind one the Kotor's should be to find Revan and confront or atleast weaken what ever he went off in search of.

I have seen people saying they would like to play as the Exile again. I dont I dont see whats so exciting about a lone exjedi who runs from place to place. What story line could you have with him. I suppose you could have him go insearch of Revan but I honestly would rather hear that the Exile reunited the remaining Jedi and rebuilt the Academy on Dantoonie. I really loved Dantoonie from Kotor I. Everything seemed alot more beautiful and it looked like alot more detail went into it.

I think who ever the Main character is for Kotor III it should be someone who knew Revan in some way but not Revan himself or the Exile.

I reckon the new game if there is one should be about another totally different Jedi, who left the order after the star forge, and is returning to discover what happened to the Jedi. It finds the wreckage of the ebon hawk on a distant planet, with a damaged droid inside (T3). the hero activates the droid and asks what happened to it. the first part of the game is to repair the hawk. 2nd part to find revan and the exile if they are alive. as soon as you find the two missing heroes, you head to dantoine, where bastilla and any surving members of the original game are waiting, and the truth outs. it then turns out you are actually a mythical jedi super being who can either destroy the world or unite it in peace. sith attack and you and the 2 heroes escape. BTW revan is wearing mask and exile is hideously disfigured. 3rd part is discovering your destiny and final part involves a discovery of a huge facility underground called the earth forge, and you must either destroy it or save it from the sith.

i dont know...sounds (elias) like KOTOR I and II all over again...but, neways, revan must come back. if s/he doesnt its pretty much ptless to play the game. there'd be nothing to discover. mind as well start a new series! i agree w/ zen-we should not play as revan. sure, his story was awesome and added a twist, but u cant have the same twist twice. we need a knew one. i dont know how, but i know the KOTOR III team (whoever they are...) will make it good. they wouldnt dare put out a game of equal/less quality as KOTOR II...

Bringing Revan back as the main character wouldn't work. A lot of people are probably attached to the character due to it being their first foray into the SW: KOTOR galaxy and as such bear a certain affection for all of the characters - notably Bastila, Revan and perhaps Carth. Therefore it is natural to want to see the fulfilment of their story.

I confess, I would dearly love to find out what happens to Revan, Bastila and Carth, etc. but I also know that bringing Revan back into the game as anything other than a cameo would be very, very difficult both in terms of story and the flow of the game.

However, I do think that any attachment to the characters can be resolved by Lucasarts and whoever does the third instalment by giving us a fantastic character to play third time around: KOTOR II was never going to live up to peoples' expectations purely because it didn't feature Revan and Bastila, but this was compounded by the lack of a 'strong' personality in the game: gamers liked Atton better than their own character.

I would very much like to see Revan and Bastila together (I'm sad like that) as an end to their story, but feel that Revan will have a part to play in any forthcoming sequel... I just hope it isn't as a playable character.

Who says the exile went off in search of Revan? If he knew he was one of the last jedi than he might try to rebuild the Academy on Dantooine. If so I would want to be a student at the academy or even one of the Jedi Masters. You then get trained or train. The Exile tells you or your master that he/she must leave to face what ever threat Revan went off to find. You go with him and then find this threat, assess it and then either destroy it for LS or help it for DS.

It would be important to note that if anything to do with finding Revan would be last Kotor in my opinion. Most people probally bought Kotor II because of Revan and will probally buy every Kotor till Revan is found.

That is unless Kotor III is to do with finding Revan and Kotor IV is defeating this threat but I could hardly see it.

Darth Zenemij · #24 (**permalink**) 07-07-2005, 11:24 PM

Well, seeing as how revan is doing that allready, you go out to find him, either way, revan would want your help/ would meet up with you. You might be the only other being fighting what revan is also. And really revan would be a horrible character, you would have revan to its max powers, and it would't really be Revan, it would be some computer generated char, with the name revan, beacuse in k1 it allwoed you to costumize your character, it wouldn't be the revan who you are supposedly familiar with.

Herein lies the problem. How can Bioware/Obsidian ever bring Revan back without some dumb questions posed to the player early on in the game to get them to determine his/her appearance:

Q: "What did Revan look like?"
A: "I don't know - he/she always wore a full-face mask."
A: "His/her skin was *, and he/she always kept his/her hair * with * in it, etc."

This is the problem the developers have created for themselves: by allowing the player to choose everything about their character they have either given themselves an infinite number of variables to factor into the storyline or they're going to have to disappoint millions of fans by saying "this is what Revan actually looks like." Whilst I'm all for the immersive experience it doesn't half make it hard for the developer in the long run. People are going to complain no matter how good the next KOTOR will be if Revan comes back... "MY Revan didn't look like that... MY Revan was an evil/good Jedi! MY Revan could beat your Revan, blah blah blah."

So in a way, I hope that the possibilities for an open ending are limited to an extent, that the developer effectively constrains the player in terms of deciding the fate and doom of the previous characters. Yes, fans of the series will complain but it will make for a less cumbersome experience in the long run.

Yeah, thats what I mean. Unless these people just want a random character with the name of revan.... Then it wouldn't even be smart, they'll just get some random character with Revan as the name.

Rattler3 · #27 (**permalink**) 07-08-2005, 10:37 PM

As much as i would love to be able to continue playing revan, i know that its not viable...
The entire KOTOR story was enthralling... although my friend, (I hate him now) spoiled the revan twist for me, the entire game was awesome. THe character interactions were well done, and it was just generally cool to be revan.
People want to play Revan because they want to continue there story. I played LS, and i wanna see the romance of revan/bastilla to continue.

However, i understand that having him playable would be retarded from the gameplay sense. What they could do would be increase the level cap, allow you to create revan, bring in a bunch of new abilities... basically u have a lvl 20 revan thats actually weak, cause its lvl 100 max cap...

Remember, (Im assuming the story is that u go out and kill the true sith) you ARE out there fighting the true extremely powerful sith... revan though pwrful in the republic is weak out there... thats just an example.

However, the 2 games i actually dont enjoy the fighting... im after the story, the story is what i crave... so what i want is closure on the story. I think thats what everyone wants, and thats why they want revan back. And like before, they want to be able to control his actions.
So they should make him non-playable. However, there should be a way where you can control his actions... sorta like what you have on the ebon hawk. You can control revan or this other new character. You dont fight as revan, but you get the interaction (best part of the game to me).
Anywho, i think revan and the exile should re-appear, and maybe even be playable just for a small part...
the issue with that is how he looks. What they could do is have it look back at the first game, and you'd have to pick a saved game and thats how he/she would look. Same with exile. If you haven't played one or the other it randomizes there look/sex...
i know its possible on the xbox to look at older games of the same series, same with PC, so it should work, right?
*shrug*
to give u an answer u hate, revan was just a generally cool character to me.

If Revan were to be in KotOR III, s/he'd probably wear a mask to keep us from having to decide on his/her looks and gender. Also, when Revan spoke, there might be a voice scrambler in the mask itself so that you can't tell from the voice whether Revan's a guy or gal. Anyway, I say Revan's going to be dead; it's the easiest solution to that problem.

Darth Zenemij · #29 (**permalink**) 07-09-2005, 10:02 AM

Agreed Chim. Revan should be dead. I've been thinking about it and you should findhim remains somewherer.

You could fly to the outer rim at one point to find him in a force-amplifying cave, attempting to hold back the true sith attack. He could point you towards the rakatan homeworld, and you could speak with the elders/'the one' and search the temple/other ruins for clues as to the identity and position/motives of the true sith.

I like the idea of Dustil Onasi coming back, perhaps he could bring T3 with him. HK-47 could join late on, and lead you to revan. The exile could be with revan or have a similar role to revan somewhere (leading the jedi). Other than them, I cannot see many other characters returning as playable (although it would be quite good if some non-party members could join the party, or just be in the game - Griff Vao for example).
