And yet before I showed you him you didn't even know Revan was coming back ._.

Nah. I heard whispers at the Fleet every so often.

That must have been painful for you, since the only times I brought Revan and the SOR name up in fleet chat, people went on about how much of a shit character he was :/

The ignore button is your friend. 🙂

Also, Dark!Revan is a prodigy tactician in this. Reading through the files... holy shit.

Yup. Especially if the canon cutscene shows only that group arriving to stop Revan.

Now looking at it. I don't think they even confront Revan (solomode) in the Temple. It looks like you confront him in an entirely different environment: the Forgotten Terrace.

FULL PLOT AND THOUGHTS ON UPDATE 3.0
"So many centuries. The Emperor and his Dread Masters, trying to wrench me apart, to unleash my anger and hatred...."
--Revan (Star Wars: The Old Republic)

To be honest, this expansion isn't about Revan... at all. Reading through the files completely, it's all about the Emperor. The entire plot of this is to introduce the Emperor as the primary threat for 3.1 to 4.0. Revan is really just the poster boy who introduces Vitiate so people will spend money and watch him do it because, let's be honest... more fans are buying an expansion with Revan's mask on it instead of Vitiate's. Like sure, Revan might play like a Satele Shan or Darth Marr role in 3.1 to 4.0, but he's not the focus. Not even in his own personal story is he the focus. In case you guys don't want to play the game, this is the plot: Revan's mental war with the Sith Emperor and the Dread Masters (in this new story, it says the Dread Masters additionally tried to break Revan... and failed. This is insane for Revan. Like... unparalleled throughout the mythos.) has left him mad with multiple personality disorder. According to Revan's dark-side (Darth Revan and before), Redeemed Revan was killed in the mental war with Vitiate, and Darth Revan was the one who participated in the battle of the Foundry. Accordingly, Darth Revan harnesses the strength while Redeemed Revan has the wisdom needed. Redeemed Revan admit's at the end of the Foundry he was ready to finally embrace death, yet his other side, Darth Revan, was still determined to defeat the Emperor. It was this moment that Redeemed Revan (KotOR and TOR:Revan Revan) died and became a spirit. Darth Revan carried the dead corpse of Revan to Dromaund Kaas where he made a deal with the current Revanites to expand their Order. After many months, the Order expanded to a galactic powerhouse with infiltrators reaching up to the ranks of the Dark Council. After their defeat on Rakata Prime, Revan planned a master strategy to turn both the Republic and Empire against each other in hope to eliminate Darth Marr and Satele Shan. The strategy was awed as a masterpiece, requiring the combination of the galaxy's 8 champions to prevent the chaos from ensuring. Revan then fled to Yavin 4, hoping to bring the Sith Emperor back. He planned this because he was under the belief he could kill the Sith Emperor in his most weakened form. The spirit of Redeemed Revan guided the 8 champions to Yavin 4 where they destroyed the Revanites and defeated Darth Revan. However, the Sith Emperor still managed to be resurrected, setting the stage to a war the galaxy never seen before. Darth Revan then reunited with Redeemed Revan, once again being whole. With both wisdom and power, balance and courage, Revan agreed to help the Empire and the Republic stop the Sith Emperor, but was still doubtful it was even possible. The End.

Jesus Christ. If I had any plans of resubscribing, that plot just dashed them.

So the combined efforts of Vitiate and the Dread Masters couldn't break Revan? That really is unparalleled. He's got to be the most mentally strong individual in the mythos.

So revan at half power was able to defeat the 8 strongest characters of the old republic era in a 8 versus 1 fight. Furthermore, he is only defeated because half his self fought against him and guided the 8 champions.

Truly revan is so far above sidious and every other starwars character.

Wait, what? So you're telling me Revan's evil ghost dragged his dead body all the way to Dromund Kaas from space? The ****?

EDIT: Also, does this mean we get to see Vitiate's true face?

So...Revan is back and not insane ready to serve as the commander of the united Republic and Empire by the end of this. Not gonna lie, that's actually a far better outcome than I could have hoped for this. Here's to a Revan vs. Vitiate duel soon.

Hopefully.

Hopefully not. Wouldn't make any sense. He is supposed to be a Red Sith not human.

Dark Side corruption and the Nathema ritual. Also, the fact that he needs to be brought back to life, would make no sense if he weren't dead to begin with.

Dark side corruption didn't cause Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos to loose their face tentacles. At the end of the day he looked nothing like a Sith but a human.

And some Sith didn't even have face tentacles.

Yeah, it's not like it's a requirement.

None look entirely human like Vitiate did. And almost all of them, at least all of the ones I can think have tentacles somewhere on their face.
