All I know is that i enjoyed playing "as Revan" many times (once dark, many lightside) in KOTOR I.....and i enjoyed played "the EXILE' many times in KOTOR II (even though I hated the nerfed ending and didn't even appreciate Kreia killing all the Jedi masters i had collected with such great difficulty and danger)..........I got to roleplay some interesting characters in a "StarWars" setting.......over and over again...I followed this debate and some of it was over my head, and i still don't understand all the acrimony....One of the things I like about SWOTOR is that they have some interesting Revan-related stuff (storyline plots, quests, etc).
Now, I have taken none of my characters past 30 , rep or imp, so I don't exactly know what the references are to "fighting Revan in some mission in the mid 30s's" is all about, and I don't care.....I just like the Revan stuff they put into this game, solely because I spent so many enjoyable hours playing him in a game.
Until i read this debate it never occurred to me he would be compared favorably or unfavorably to some other various "StarWars" characters.....It is ALL fiction!
I had, I admit, always considered Revan as pretty darn powerful BEFORE I roleplayed him; and I felt powerful playing as him.....My knowledge of post 30 game content is nil and my StarWars canonical knowledge is minimal, but......I LIKE REVAN, so back off (please?)
