MasterN64 Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 The first time when i started a new game I found out about the whole Madalore Wars, Malak and Revan, bastila, etc. But it was a genuine shock for me when i found out that i was really playing as Darth Revan. I was playing light side at the moment and i almost decided to go dark, but i didn't. What i want to know is the shock level of when u found out u were Darth Revan for the first time. Shock for me- 8/10 I give it 8/10 because i knew there had to be some suprise but as big as this.
Sivy Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 yes it was abit of a twist, I had suspicions that you were somehow connected to malak. btw, you really should put *spoiler* in the title
Clemme w/Stick Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 It was a good twist yea. Dont really know where on my scale it was for me... -Clemme
-NGE- Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 hmm well I was actually thinking about wether or not Revan was actually dead because of what Vrook said ("what if we undertake to train this one and the dark lord should return") so I was kinda wondering about the point where we would run into Revan and wether he would be this crazy hermit or wether he would help us or not... turns out I was actually playing as him (or her)... so yeah the shock was pretty damn big cos I didn't see it coming at all...
Vrook Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 It was most definately one of the biggest and best plot twists in any game I've ever played. It was very well done. Also, just playing through the game a second time, knowing your Revan, and just seeing how many hints the Jedi drop you along the way, you might think to yourself, "how didn't I figure this out?"
eidospsogos Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 amen to that vrook! i felt pretty stupid my second time through. i mean there were loads of hints. not ot mention that you never saw revan's face. he had that mask on even before fully leaving the order as shown in the dantooine flashback. it surprised me my first time through, but my second time through i felt quite dense.
Drakron Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 My only shock comes from reading those Carth treads in BioWare forums ....
MasterN64 Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 I felt the same way Vrook. I felt like such an idiot not to see that. Well at least we know LucasArts knows how to do these kinda things, which is cool.
Sam Fisher Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Well, I started suspecting it when the council said that stuff about the dark lord coming again... but it still was quite the suprise when it finally got there.
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 It's the best plot twist since "Luke, I am your father!" nuff said
Kebric Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 It was pretty shocking, and I totally missed the hints given by the Jedi Council. (Yes, I am very thick) I just thought they were being cooky or something. 9/10 It sent me to the floor.
-NGE- Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 well when Master Vrook went: "what if we undertake to train this one and the dark lord should return" I was just sitting there thinking "so? who cares... we'll fight him :D"
HertogJan Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Am I the only one who thinks that this 'big plot change' is a bit cliché??? Here we go again; some guy lost his memory (why is amnesia so ****ing common in games and movies?) and turns out to be *gasp* THE FORMER DARK LORD OF THE SITH!!! It's almost as rediculous as the coincidence that C-3PO was made by Anakin and R2D2 was property of Padme Admidala, Anakins future wife Really I wasn't exactly flabbergasted (hehe I hate that word ) when it turned out that I was Revan... Not that I hate the story though, it's just that it isn't really as great and original as some ppl want you to believe. But hey, when you look at the Star Wars OT, you'll find that it's a pretty standard hero-villain story seen in many many other movies. But of course placed the story in a very appealing setting, just as KotOR
-NGE- Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Besides that... some faces just didnt at all match with the image of evil Darth Revan... their hair would still be done in the funky way, etc etc...
eidospsogos Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 why can't evil people have funky hair? when did this rule come about?
-NGE- Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 no I mean that a sith lord would never take the time to style his hair in that fashion... why should sith lords care
eidospsogos Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 well, vanity would actually be a trait one would expect to find in a sith lord. your know prideful and arrogant. kind of ironic though, considering that in a few months down that path they'll decay away and there hair will fall out in patches anyway. but they could be vain until that happens and style their hair. and then if they were desperate they could try rogaine or the hair club for men.....i mean sith lords.
Kebric Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Aren't the best bad guys the ones that you don't know are evil until they spin around and stab you in the face?
Syzerian Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 yeah it was pretty cool i also liked how it had the cinematic of memories that are hints as to your past life except for that thing where bastila says "no one deserves to die no matter what their crimes" and it has her on dantooine but when she told me that i was on manaan lol
Burrie Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Here we go again; some guy lost his memory (why is amnesia so ****ing common in games and movies?) and turns out to be *gasp* THE FORMER DARK LORD OF THE SITH!!! For me, it was never apparant that the main character HAD lost his memory, which added to the shock. I simply assumed that his confusion at the start of the Endar Spire was nothing more than an excuse to have a tutorial. Does the PC ever get a chance to voice the fact that he has amnesia somewhere throughout the game? I agree, perhaps it is a tad cliche, but the fact that they managed to cleverly hide the fact that he lost his memory(plus, he hasn't really lost his memory, he simply has a new identity) adds to the twist. Although "PC=Revan" was one of the theories that I had pinned throughout the game, it was still a shock to actually see it confirmed by Darth Malak. But what I like the most is that it explains absolutely everything in the game : Why the player is skilled in many languages, why he is skilled in the Force, why the starmap on Kashyyyk responds to him, why there's a bond between Bastila and the PC, and it even explained his initial confusion on the Endar Spire.

Yeah that's right, they developed this cliché very good No really, serious, it IS a good way to get rid of many problems; like the 'become a kickass jedi in a very shirt time while others need years to accomplish this'-problem
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Or they could have used the "Chosen One" thingy like with Luke(well, son of the chosen one actually).
Shimaon Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Er, I didn't think the character had amnesia at all... I thought he just had false memories, because Bastilla can actually ask you your age, what planet you're from, etc, and you can answer correctly to it... I noticed the "all too familiar path" thing, I was just kinda like "wha?" Plus when I first saw him, I thought Revan was a robot , so that didn't help. But I thought it was pretty cool. But I didn't need to see the cutscene to confirm it, once Malak said that the Council couldn't hide it or whatever before the cutscene played, I'm like "is he saying I'm Revan? Cool!"
Astrotoy7 Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 I played with a female character so the first thing that I thought was "Huh, Revans a girl! No girl would ever wear a stupid outfit and mask like that ! " If I had played with a male to begin with I probably wouldve reacted different, I dunno... MTFBWYA
MasterN64 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 There is nothing wrong with a woman being the Dark Lord of the Stih.
