i would like if the darth bane series turned into a history of sorts of the sith line. Tell the whole story, from bane, to sidious, and elaborate on each Sith Lord. We have plenty of books about Jedi, why not do the ancient sith lords, we all would continue to buy them, just to find out what they say about them, so thats the end result they want right, money?

One would think that it would be difficult to derive unique personalities for each and every single Sith Lord. Karapshyn's not exactly a master of originality, either, given that Darth Revan was a sad attempt to combine Grand Admiral Thrawn and Anakin Skywalker, Malak was clearly a clone of Darth Vader. In KotOR II, the bullshit continued with that writing staff, since Traya is most decidedly an attempt to put a vagina on Sidious and set him/her in a different time period.
KotOR staff: come up with something original. Earn your money. This shit you spin is absurd.

Revan was called the "heart of the force" very similar to being called the chosen one. He thought his fall to to the darkside was for a good cause like Anakin did. He was a skilled mechanic and racer as was Anakin. Revan redeemed himself like Anakin did. They both found romance that played a big role in their career. Revan war robes that covered him sort of like Vader's armor. He was a prodigy similar to Anakin. Both were young when they fell. He was the greatest tactician of the time like Thrawn and understood the art of war as did Thrawn. Both had high IQs. I could go on but I'm choosing not to.
Oh and Gideon what is your opinion on the kotor 2 staff creating Sion and Nihilus?

Sion and Nihilus are both very unique and interesting characters, though I did notice an extreme similarity between Sion's relationship with Kreia and Vader's relationship with Palpatine; despite the fact that both of the apprentices wanted to overthrow and smash their masters, they also felt an extreme, twisted Oedipal affection and love for them. Sion was represented the emotionally frayed and twisted aspect of Vader (whereas Malak was the brutish and cruel aspect). Nihilus was certainly not awe-inspiring as a character, but as a force. He is the only one comparable to Palpatine during the later stages of Dark Empire where the Emperor is totally driven to insanity by his insatiable megalomania and thirst for greater power.
