Excalibur Bane Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 It just doesn't seem to suit the Revan that went to war against the Mandalorians. I mean, the robes don't seem particularly female. Who decided it anyway? I was a bit shocked when I first saw Revan referred to her as a female. Don't get me wrong, it's interesting but a bit surprising. I don't see a woman trying to takeover the galaxy. Not that I have anything against women either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorJello Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I find it odd, myself. Not that Revan is a woman--I have no problem with that--but the apparent confusion about it. Everything in the first game suggested the default option was for Revan to be male, and yet TSL has Atton first believing Revan to be female. He also more naturally believes that Revan was evil. It's odd, since you'd think it would be the reverse. But if Revan was indeed a woman, then that itself wouldn't be a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Deseria Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I played Revan as a female however when you first talk to Atton in peragus it gives you the option to correct him when he says Revan is a she. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derc Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Well, the "I don't know" option makes Revan an LS male, so that's probably what the "powers that be" want Revan. And it's annoying when you do set Revan as a she, and sometimes characters refer to Revan as a he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosi Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I think the idea is that no one knows what's going on with the jedi. I remember someone saying that what is normal for you (the character) to know is secret for almost everyone else because of the council. The jedi aren't public about most things. The only reason people knew of the exile and his status was because of Atris. The whole thing on Onderon is a good example, when you listen to the news, the republic started the firefight in space and the Ebon hawk is a huge republic cruiser. Even that is wrong.

KOTORManiac Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 On my first go through, I did by accident because I had to go so I was skipping trough the conversation without reading it... Second time through I paid more attention and said Revan was male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Actually Revan being female makes a lot of sense. 1. Revan is CONSIDERABLY smaller than Malak, just look at the dream when you arrive at Dantoinee in kotor. 2. Bastilas shocked expression in one of the movies.... I would be pretty schocked too to learn that the Dark Lord really was the Dark Lady. Besides a sisterhood-thing makes more sense. Personally I chose to play male however, since otherwise it would be too much girl power, with Juhani and Bastila, as well as a female main character. 3. The fact that he/she conceals his/her face and body totally. Maybe she fears her troops would not respect a dark lady as much as a dark lord? And as someone said, people don't really know a lot about what goes on in the Order. If Revan was a gal, and then turns to the dark side, and wants respect, maybe it wouldn't be a problem, as her troops never saw her anyway?

jedi3112 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 KOTOR 1 revers to Revan as him, though KOTOR 2 revers to Revan as her. This does indeed seem a bit odd. However I don't really know what KOTOR 2 uses for the Revan thing, maybe the default is that Revan is completely the opposite of the PC or just partly, or that there is a standard Revan, as I picked the choices for Revan myself.

Bastila Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I played Revan as a female first, as females can be just as evil as a man and its cool when you go evil because you go all evil looking and when your female the evil face looks cooler then the when you turn the male evil.

Anasazi Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I played evil female once, but I quit after a while. I wanted to play an evil seductive Lilith-type of character, but when the dark side-effect set in she just turned ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorJello Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Anasazi: The problem with your ideas is that Revan was a very publically known war hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJkWhoSaysNi Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The game is inconsistent about Revans sex :-\ When you're on the way to Telos and you get to talk to Kiera about the history of revan and malak she refers to revan as "he". Other places Revan is a she. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamps Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think Revan is intended to be a male since the term "he" is sometimes used no matter what gender you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akimb0 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Im only on my first planet and I've seen Revan referred to as male AND female! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAlex Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I belive there's a bug in TSL. I told Atton that Revan was Male and Kreia confirmed it later when i asked her about Revan. BUT, the Jedi Council on that video refered to Revan as she. I also heard some people who told Atton that Revan was a female that the Jedi Council refered to Revan as he. So, there clearly is a bug in the game, or the Jedi Council is not really sure what sex Revan really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My male PC was very small compared to Malak when in that final battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Supra Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 As i said beofre on another thread, Revan as a girl is very sweet, either as a good or bad girl. That last cutscene with Lady Revan being adored by the Sith Army and the "Infinite Fleet" is so so grand and so sad, too, because when I saw that I thought, well I have just #~€ed up the whole Original Trilogy, but now with the K2 info, you can understand that all that fleet was used by Revan to fight the True Sith... but I think, Revan, the war Hero, The Sith Lord, The Reformed Jedi... is more impactant as a girl, maybe because there is a particular male face in K1 that makes you say: "That's the one, that's Revan", as a girl it does. I think that too about the Exile face on K2... But being more practical and "traiditonal",for me Revan was a good guy, and the Exile is a twisted traumatized girl. And they're loveable the two...

witchfinder Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 On a similar side note, did anyone else think that Darth Nihilus was a woman? When I say the tv ad's for this game, without knowing his name, I thought he was! Must be that head dress, it looks sort of what an arabic woman would wear.

Lord_Supra Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I know it's an offtopic, but I have seen a thread in the past, that refers to the whole list of Jedi robes in K2, but I don't find it, could anyone help me to locate it...?

Lord Stalin Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Nihilus was a he. He is no longer human. Kreia called him a "he" and a man. Sorry, i forgot to mention, i refer to revan and exile as male, since i am male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchfinder Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yes I know, it was mentioned in my post. I thought Nihilus was human? When you defeat him on the Ravager, and Visas takes off his mask - she says "just a man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
