Hey Sicon, I would really like you to know one thing: I love you. Reading through your post was like reading my thoughs all laid out and put into nice and well formulated sentences. I've been feeling the exact same way about Revan since I have read up about his ending on the imperial side (playing as a Jedi). I too consider myself as a veteran player of both KOTOR games as I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of playtime hours over the years, so letting Revan be killed by a bunch of level 30ish nobodys just seems to me like an absolute insult to the character and a kick in the teeth for all dedicated KOTOR-fans. It's simply the worst decision that Bioware could have made storywise. Hell, even if he is still alive and does come back, because he utilized some form of force teleportation in the last moment, letting him be defeated and forcing him to flee a fight against four random adventurers who just happened to run into him is a completely ridiculous thought. Revan is the essence of (KO)TOR - both previous games dedicated hours of text into developing and explaining his character, his history and his attitude towards the force. Revan was no ordanary Jedi, nor was he a typical Sith - he was something in between. Something far greater than both, and I think thats what makes him so interesting. He was a person who embraced the ideological freedom of the dark side, without being corrupted by it, while simultaneously keeping the clarity of mind and the reason of the Jedi, without being hold back by their ignorance. His character along with Kreias (who I also love very much) is fairly unique among the overly simplified black and white depictions of the force and its users in the Star Wars films and games. More than that, I think that the teachings of both characters in the KOTOR-games have deeply influenced me during my teenage years and helped me become a less ignorant and more reflective person. Considering all this, I would even go as far as to say that Revan is the most "valuable" character in all Star Wars for the ideals he represents. Whereas now, we have TOR where all characters are again either black or white and persons such as Revan just have no place. But hey, we can't press such a highly complex and deep character on all those casual mmo-players, can we? Whats even worse is that he isn't even killed by a group of people who know who he is and understand his significance, but by a group of ignorant grunts who are blindly doing the bidding of their sith masters - so basically the prototypical KOTOR mobs. Letting him be killed by them lorewise back in KOTOR would have been absolutely unacceptable and unsatisfying to the player, so I seriously wonder why Bioware thinks it's acceptable now. I was really worried that something like this would happen when I first heard that they were making an KOTOR-MMO. I absolutely hate how they treat important story characters in those games. It's like there is always a rich and fascinating backstory of people and factions battling each other with key persons and key events when suddenly everyone important is just killed off by big groups of nameless adventurers. They did it in WoW and sadly they are doing it here as well. Revan does absolutely not deserve this treatment and I sincerely hope Bioware comes up with an stunning and unexpected story twist to his death, that somehow, some time rectifies this pathetic moment in lore.
