I don't think it's respect that Revan needs, more like accurate representation.

 

he's always been accurately represented, once you start realizing that KOTOR 1 we onl;y see an amnesiac (and thus a blank slate. not the original Revan)

 

 

as for his abilities, Revan at his height before his mind wipe proably could do everything you could do in KOTOR. if you assume that Revan in game was simply remembering his skills over time.

Well, I was speaking more of general discussion of the character.

Either way, the lore prior to Revan going all evil conqueror during KotoR had already said he'd learned everything the Jedi had to teach, which includes lightsaber forms, and he was always out to study more. And that he was already an undefeated duelist even before becoming Darth Revan. Despite the fact that Vrook Lamar in KotoR2 was pretty much teaching the Exile all seven forms, if we understand the lore correctly, it basically said Revan had already done that and that he was the greatest duelist of his era. Further complimented by the statements claiming he was undefeated. Which may even later extend into his dueling in the arena on Taris after his memories were broken and sealed off.

 

Lore wise Revan was a top-tier duelist and one-shotted Malak when he tried to challenge him the first time around over Telos. Gameplay wise is much harder to dictate and the only Novel displaying Revan was more about his journey and his strength in the Force as opposed to how good he was with a saber. However if we look at the end of the SoR campaign, it would flat out tell you just how brutal he really is;

 

 

Logically it wouldn't just be one PC and the team of Shae Visla, Jakkaro, Darth Marr, Theron Shan, Satele Shan, and Lana Beniko. It would be them plus the Heir of Kallig, the Emperor's Wrath, Cipher 9, the Grand Champion of the Great Hunt, the Barsen'thor (Consular), the Hero of Tython (Jedi Knight), the Commander of Havoc Squad, and the Underworld King (Smuggler) combined with the aforementioned main figures in SWTOR to combat Revan in an epic showdown. The fact it would take all of them combined to face Revan would indicate just how viciously powerful he is and how fearsome his lightsaber skills truly are, to be able to fend off 14 people at once.

A lot of the things you said here is factually incorrect.
