Ok, the 3rd review in that second link is hilarious! Easily teh best review I've read so far.
'I went in there after watching the keyboard turning baddies online standing still for 3 seconds using no attacks and expecting the game’s story to have to be the crutch that the combat leaned on.Then my balls exploded…
…Well, they exploded at level 2.'
'Now, see, some people say V/O in TOR is overrated and gimmicky.
Some people deserve to be shot in the temple. Those people come to mind.'
'I mean, I’m talkin’ killing people’s families so you can draw them out of a hiding with a double force choke, or stabbing a failed Sith Lord through the skull with your lightsaber.'
haermm
'To that note, I will explain something: I haven’t had the privilege of playing Tera, so I won’t comment on it. However, I will comment on how Guild Wars 2 plays in comparison, as I HAVE played it at Gamescom before, and will tell you this: they both play similarly.'
mmm
What did Bioware expect? All the SW and KOTOR fans be completely chill with having their beloved protagonist turned into a mid-level boss for the Sith, especially after accomplishing nothing after the Republic frees him.
I do wonder how much of a riot, or how many complaints they actually received?
Keeping Revan alive and having players aware that he's in the background mysteriously plotting will maintain interest and help the game, IMO.

They're probably still trying to come to terms with the idea that anyone would consider Revan "a beloved protagonist." Must be all the characterization and nuances that have been... completely fabricated by a surprisingly large group of insecure narcissists in a vain effort to justify their love for a complete and utter enigma.
The absolute best thing that could happen for Revan is delete his presence from the game and pull the plug on the novel. Sprinkle in appearances in a number of comics and novels, but for God's sake don't get into his head. Like Thrawn, Revan works best when he's mysterious-- it's the only thing he's got going for him.

They should have just made KOTOR 3 and set it up such that the ending leads to the eventual Sith Empire conquest. Screw that novel.
