Topic: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

I have played both KOTOR1 and 2 through 3 times each, and have never really read or looked up their discussions online...  I chose the same portrait and what have you in KOTOR2 as I used in KOTOR1, and then there is the Carth and Bastila dialogues....

Here is what I thought happened:

Revan+Malak fight in the mandalorian wars, p**s off the counsel... Star Forge it and become Dark= Jedi Civil War.  Malak amnesia's Revan by accident trying to kill all of his enemies at once, and Revan goes good and saves the galaxy and falls in love with Bastila and all that jazz.  As his memories return, he remembers an evil that consumes the force on the outer rim... there was some mention of this creature in KOTOR1, and the jedi tried to exterminate them as I recall... Before he takes off to fight this evil he remembers, He goes back to the Jedi Counsel after saving the republic and they cast him out for being too powerful... and so he treads alone to defeat this thing on the outer rim... Amnesia again, and Kreia tries to bring back Revan(Exile) to end the force... Damned concussions.  and once again he saves the galaxy.  I might get flamed for this as I am not a big star wars fan, I just loved these RPGs... I Havent read any starwars books or anything.   Anyone else have thoughts on this?  (Carth and bastilla keep doing the "Does he Know?" talk, plus the droid and all that jazz)

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

BTW: AS the Jedi Council was destroyed, I assume regardless of Kreia's end dialogue that Revan/Exile rebuilds the Jedi with the party members he converted.

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

Okay, In KOTOR 1 Revan either saves the republic (lightside) or he destroys to republic (darkside). In KOTOR 2 you play as the Exile and the Exile is not Revan but the Exile did serve under Revan in both wars. The Exile lost his/her connection to the force on Malacore V. When you are on Korriban in the Sith Academy in KOTOR 2, go into the Head Master's room and their you will find a big triangle had has a hologram of Bastila taking about Revan leaving the Sith Academy. Revan left Bastila incharge and Revan went to the Unknown Region of space to stop this new enemy. You learn from the hologram of Bastila that after awhile she went in search of Revan and the Sith Academy was pretty badly damaged because everybody was fighting to be the new master over the academy. At the end of the fight with Kreia you get to choice to blow up Malacore V, stay and run the Sith Academy on the planet or you can choice to leave and go in search of Darth Revan and Bastila in the Unknown Region of space.

If you have only played both games on the lightside then I think that you should play both games on the darkside. I does not really matter that you save the republic in KOTOR 1 because when you start KOTOR 2 you find out that Darth Revan was on the darkside and the jedi are all but dead or have turned to the darkside of the force. In KOTOR 2 it does not matter if you choice the lightside or darkside because in the end when you meet the remaining jedi masters they still get killed either by you the Exile or by Kreia.

So, In the end you now know that the Exile in KOTOR 2 is not Darth Revan from KOTOR 1. Yeah, One more thing and that is that T3 your astro droid is the best droid you can have in either KOTOR 1,2.

P.S. I hope that you stay on the site and keep on posting because it is good to see new blood on this site.  big_smile

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

I have never gotten that dialogue, and I don't want to change my position.  To me it is better if Revan continues to improve the galaxy regardless of circumstance.  It may seem strange, but I cant play dark side... it makes me feel like crap.... cant bring myself to treat my team badly... it doesnt make the game fun for me.

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

I find that the destruction caused by Revan was prior to his atonement and rebuilding after the Jedi civil war.  Regardless of what happened, during Malachor... the death of so many lead to the rip in the force.  Later he remembers that in his amnesic state and goes to fight against it.  Do you really find it impossible for Revan and the Exile to be one and the same?  Both amnesic, both have the same friends from history... Both are GOOD for the best ending wink.  I just wish he and Bastilla came to terms in kotor2, or that you could solidify bonds with handmaiden, or have better dialogue with atris, or turn atris down for hadnmaiden... and Mira... I didnt like Mira... sorry.  He ends with a Harem of Jedi, and each of them want to jump him and their is no solid love interest like in Kotor1, they each help you at different stages... but nothing is solidifed or permanent.

I may seem obnoxious for this remark, but as far as I am concerned... the game will always be better assuming Revan is the same main character throughout.  Once redeemed, thrice hated, and quadruple made up for his foolishness in the mandalorian wars.

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

BTW, you find out Darth Revan was bad because HE WAS.  When you became amnesic you built a new life with a new name.  You were no longer darth revan, you spend KOTOR1 and KOTOR2 making the universe better.  In 1 you become a jedi, AGAIn after becoming sith, in kotor2 you become an ADVANCED jedi.  And build a new order for dantooine to work with.

Re: My Interpretation: The Exile Is Revan

Like in KOTOR 1 when you kiss Bastila and you both fall inlove with each other. In KOTOR 2 you can have s*x with Brianna BUT this is only if you are on the darkside because you will turn her to the darkside and you will get massive darkside points.

The reason that the Exile and Darth Revan both have the same friends is because they all served together in the Mandalorian War and the Jedi Civil War.
