Alexander the Great Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I think you could tell him to sod off to extinguish any romantic interest he might be developing at the earliest opportunity. The romances aren't mandatory as far as I remember. Yeah, and that's exactly what I did. It was fun. But when Atton tries to hit on you, it's funny (You got to love his "Damn it!" when you tell him that you found clothes.) But when Carth does it, it's just plain creepy to me. It's sort of cliche, too.
Lord Revan63 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 WOW WOW WOW.....hold on here didnt i have the same Thread as this oh w/e ppls opinion(dont want to be deleted as a member) lol........ok i think Revan is a male tho i had at one time Revan was a female but i thought it over and Isnt the word "Lord" only for males and mistress for females, why would revan if Female be Lord Revan, it should be Mistress Revan but thats my thought, revan has the outlook of a Female and in KOTOR 2 if ya said Revan a female u wouldnt get to see bastila at all or maybe i wasnt paying attention. P.S. I wasnt trying to be Sexist at ALL i was stateing an opinion!
TKA-001 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 The only objection I have to Revan being a female is the Carth romance.
Allronix Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Y'see, and it was the Bastila romance that got me a little uncomfortable. First of all, I was never sure if she was hot for my character or his Force Powers (the temple top didn't help matters), and reacting to never getting out of the enclave to date. Then, there's the fact she'd been hiding the Big Secret all along and had that Force Bond to your PC, which made things clear as mud. (The Force Bonds, BTW, are one of the most disturbing things about K2). Carth hadn't a clue, and neither did the female PC. There's also no Force Bond involved, just the usual "guy meets gal." Play male, and you miss out on SO MUCH when it comes to that character, while you only mis one conversation on Bastila's end playing female.
Web Rider Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 I played a female Revan. Why? Well, it's a lot easier on the eyes to stare at a CG female rump than a male one for some 20ish hours of gameplay. That, and I've usually got a variety of mods running that let me romance Bastila anyway. As for a sith lord not being able to be female, well, imagine the sith will bow to whoever can kick the most butt.
CK51 Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I've always thought of Revan as male. When the opening crawl came up and I didnt know I was Revan, and the lin was like- "Malak, the last apprentice of the Dark Lord Revan" I thought Revan was like some uber dark male Sith Lord who had been vanquished long ago, as a male. Not female, Revna isnt a female name at all, and Dark Lord didnt seem a very female title.
Arcesious Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I've always thought of Revan as male... A female sith lord... Not to be sexist or anything, just seems too... 'soft' for a person who should be some uber powerful Sith Lord/Jedi.
Wedge Suron Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I'm male, but I play female and male. Depends what mood I'm in.

I'm not one who stares at video game characters' "rumps" at all, but considering how many times I've heard that "reason" before, I'd say I'm part of a minority.

My Revan is a woman; I think its better that way.. she is the black female head with the dreadlocks.
Gurges-Ahter Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I just can't imagine Revan not being a male. I made the mistake of not correcting Atton in our initial conversation at the beginning of TSL, so Revan was always referred to as a female during the rest of the game, and it drove me crazy. The Exile I can see as either way, but Revan, for me, is a male for sure.

The Exile I can see as either way, but Revan, for me, is a male for sure. See I indentify alot more with the Exile as a charachter than I do Revan... So to me the Exile is male, but I don't think there are enough female Sith Lords, so think having Revan as one does make up for it.

I identified much more with Revan than I did the Exile, although I identified with both pretty well. I am probably using the same logic that you are, however, in that the PC that I identify more with I cannot imagine being the opposite gender.
Blix Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I've only played through KOTOR once with a female Revan, and to me it just feels weird with a female (because I've played as a guy for so long). But on the flipside, I always play KOTOR II as a female Exile, as the story just seems to flow better and I prefer Mical over Brianna anyway.

'soft' for a person who should be some uber powerful Sith Lord/Jedi. Tell that to Traya...or Githany...or Lumyia...or Vergere...or Zannah...Hell, try it on Yuthura Ban, and she wasn't even fallen all the way! Atton had the right of it. When women go Dark Side, clear the sector!
Shem Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I played a female Revan. Why?

I've always thought of Revan as male... A female sith lord... Not to be sexist or anything, just seems too... 'soft' for a person who should be some uber powerful Sith Lord/Jedi.What about Darth Traya? The point is there are evil women out there and things could get bad in Star Wars universe when an angry woman who is strong in the Force decides to get revenge. I would fear an angry woman strong in the Force over an angry man who is strong in the Force too.
Totenkopf Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Women aren't any worse than the guys. However, it's the perception that they're supposed to be "kinder and gentler" that makes their evil stand out more than with guys.

Totenkopf Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 You must not be married (or you are female) I didn't say they couldn't make life verrrry uncomfortable, just that they weren't inherently more evil. I grew up with 4 sisters (I still have all 5 senses intact as well ), so I know what a pain girls/women can be. Also why I still cherish my bachelorhood (till I lose my sanity, anyway ).
Serpentine Cougar Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I played as a male my first play-through because it seemed the natural thing to do, seeing how I'm male, too. Then I found out that that was the canon version, and now I couldn't think of Revan any other way. Since I know Exile is canonically female, if I ever played TSL I'd play as a female for that reason.
Gurges-Ahter Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Yeah I'm also influenced by what is considered canon.
