Terrific85 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i agree with bolsen i want to be a pure jedi this time but at the start of my training, possibly a jedi padawan. i agree with bolsen and john- maybe your master dies for the twist in the story....

Phaedra36 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well I don't care how they handle with the Exile and Revan, as long as they finish everyone's story that is connected to them. Carth,Bastila,Atton,etc. Ultimately I think they should still just be a major npc, but I guess be in some kind of robes to disguise themselves from the True Sith or something. I would like a few cutscenes wrapping up a story between Revan and the Exile's respective storylines with the major characters of I and II.

igyman Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I think a new character would be cool. I mean, not to say Revan or Exile are dumb ideas, I just think a new game should be fresh. While I agree that the game should be fresh, I don't think a new (third) main character is necessary to make the game fresh - it can be fresh with an old main character and a great storyline. If I had my way, I would incorporate some of the characters from both 1 and 2 and have the new character meet up with Revan or Exile, or both. They'd help "New Guy" with his(or her) quest, probably to stop the Sith since that seems to be the theme. They wouldn't be NPCs that the main character commands, but rather mentors or guides like Obi Wan was to Luke. I'm starting to see a pattern here. You are not the first one to propose that idea, but all of you who want this just don't realize how illogical it is to put a character around which the entire story revolves in a side role. ...Or maybe it could be Revan. Just have him(or her) start with "some" Force Powers, feats, and skills and play from there. Besides, I sure would like to where the "romance" part of the story goes. Yes, definitely. You could start as Revan that way - customize him/her all the way to choosing the force powers (you'd get level 20 at the beginning of the game) and attributes, then you play a small part of the game that way and in the end the main Sith villain drains you of your powers (check out my storyline idea at ''What would be the beginning of your version of the KOTOR 3 story?'' thread) and you are forced to start from level 1 (as you should).

JediMaster12 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 We could start with Revan but then we would have to figure out where to start because Revan is supposed to be somewhere in the Unknown Regions and the Exile went to go help. That is one of the reasons that I voted for a new PC and the other was that I couldn't justify how to start with a level one Revan. Reading these posts have enlightened me to some ideas but I'm still not convinced that it is justified enough. I've read very little about the Exile and found that some want to kill him off right away. That blows in my opinion but still my same reasons apply to the Exile if say we were to start with the Exile instead of Revan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 @JediMaster12 I've already figured out where to start. Remember my Dark Planet thing? There's an updated version of that idea at ''What would be the beginning of your version of the KOTOR 3 story?'' thread, if you're interested.

Vladimir-Vlada Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 That is one of the reasons that I voted for a new PC and the other was that I couldn't justify how to start with a level one Revan. I understand that you are sceptic about Revan or the Exile starting as level 1. I agree about the Exile, the easiest place to put him in is as a party member. But you can see that there are tons of explanations of how Revan became level 1. He could have been captured and tortured (igyman's as far as I remember). Maybe Nilhus syphoned the Force out of him, nearly killing him (this one was my idea). And so on and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just putting too much thought into this and I might blow a brain gasket. Those are valid explanations. I guess I just want to see someone new, one who has possibly gone through the restoration on the Outer Rim worlds and maybe remembers the Exile and learns of Revan or it could be the other way around. That was an idea I was toying with for awhile and I thought it the most plausible, IMO, since Revan and the Exile where suppose to 'disappear' into the Unknown Regions. Who knows? I'm just a rambling 21 year old fool who doesn't know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'm not so sure they were supposed to disappear in the Unknown Regions, they definitely went there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Merlow Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Would love to play as Revan again, that would be my preference. But even i who wants it badly has to admit the logistics just don't add up. There are ways to get around it as i've suggested like Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, but in the context of the Kotor story its just too hard. I won't be to disappointed if we get a new PC as long as the story is sound and we wrap up what happened to Revan and the Exile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm not so sure they were supposed to disappear in the Unknown Regions, they definitely went there, though. Well the archives I read, whatever they are called, said that Revan did disappear and also mentioned that it was written that if the Ebon Hawk were to return, there would be disasterous consequences like a dark evil or something like that. That was before the blurbs that were part of TSL's storyline. Sooo I gues it comes to how history is interpretated Ja? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Looks like it does. I just hope it gets interpreted my way (don't we all) - in favour of Revan being the main character in K3 (I know I'm becoming boring with this, but it has its purpose: you will all join the Revan Side in the end! Bwahahahahha!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 @ Vlad: If I remember correctly it was at the official site for TSL. I can't remember how to get to it if it's still up but if I find it I'll let you know. Edit: I found it and I misread it but here it is: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swkotor_sithlords/indexLight.html Its under Chronicles Part XII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir-Vlada Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Revan is focused with a single purpose: locating the source of the dark power on MALACHOR V. Those awaiting Revan's arrival, including members of the Sith and the Jedi, are shocked when he fails to return from this pilgrimage. It is unknown whether Revan destroyed or resurrected the primal Sith forces on this forbidden planetoid. Hm... Seems like that this supports igiyman's and my theory. With just this, Revan can easily become a PC, starting level 1. The other chronicles, seem to indicate towards something... Although I haven't read them all.

igyman Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've seen those chronicles long ago, they do fill a few holes between KoTOR 1 and TSL. Edit: People, you are voting, but you aren't posting your opinions. I've read a lot of similar opinions as to why we should play as a new character in KoTOR 3 and some reasons for playing as Revan, but there are some who voted for the Exile and I would like to hear their reasons for that choice. igyman, please refrain from 'bumping' threads as it is against the rules, bumping a discussion topic for a content update is one thing, but posting about "people not posting when they vote" doesn't qualify as a reason for a 'bumping' double post. Please use the 'edit this' post function if you have the last post in a thread and wish to add something. Thanks. -RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, that's catchy! The Force Powers are drained and Revan is exhausted, so he go to the Unknown Region to recuperate and gain his strength. I don't know if that fits in with your storyline, but it was just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 If you've checked my storyline idea at the ''What would be the beginning of your version of the KoTOR 3 story?'' thread I'd be glad to hear your opinion on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 O Boy, every forum wants to close my threads. Well. Here goes: Sorry that I cannot post it in a poll. Too many options. Well, everyone get the idea right. Who would you want to have as the PC in Kotor III. This poll is also in place at the obsidian and bioware boards. 1) Revan 2) The Exile 3) Revan’s son/daughter born during the Mandalorian wars 4) Revan’s son/daughter born after the Jedi Civil war 5) Darth Malak’s son/daughter 6) Kreia’s son/daughter 7) One of the True Sith (with pure Sith blood) 8) A Jedi padawan grown up on a Republic world or someone discovered by the Jedi order and taken in for training* 9) A force sensitive grown up in the Outer rim or in the Unknown regions (not discovered by the Jedi) * 10) A non force sensitive (an assassin / bounty hunter / mercenary etc.) * 11) Someone related to Bastila 12) A non force sensitive who found a force anomaly who transferred you into one of the most powerful Jedi of this age * 13) A wound in the force, created by the Exile 14) A Jedi who followed Revan during the Mandalorian Wars and became Sith. 15) The son/daughter of Saul Karath 16) A Mandalorian Jedi 17) Other suggestions are welcome, please indicate on this thread. Well, a lot more options for a new character I would say. The one's marked with a * gives the possibility to play as another species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hmmm, there are some very interesting options on that list, but I don't think they're good for KoTOR 3, they are much better for KoTOR 4 (if there ever gets to be any), so I think I'll stick to my original opinion regarding the KoTOR 3 PC - it should be Revan.

andyfed83 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I like the idea of assassin\bounty hunter\mercenary. New classes are cool.But to have then non-force sensetive?

TiGroundcrawler Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I didn't read the posts coz im in a hurry, so sorry if im stealing someone opinons. I think that it should be a new character, maybe a young boy/girl maybe 10-15 years old. you are found by a jedi ' exiled maybe' this jedi begins to train you as you are a force sensitive. Or maybe not. Just a thought. Edit: A Jedi padawan grown up on a Republic world or someone discovered by the Jedi order and taken in for training. Totaly gets my vote.
