But Drew K wasn't the sole creator and contributor of Revan. Much of his hype also came from Obsidian's KotOR II, which, if they had instead helped make the novel, would have been morally grey if not badass.
And I've said this often: Drew's ME stuff is really good. It seems to me that he didn't care for KotOR II's development and chose to retcon a great deal. Sad thing is, he succeeded.
No, he simply didn't care enough to research it properly. Remember that he actually forgot one to include one of the chapters for Revan in his final draft. That should tell you how little he cared about it, or how incompetent he is.
Karpyshan is an exceedingly mediocre novelist. He does good works in video games, which play to his strengths and cover his weaknesses.
Or that. Again, his ME stuff is solid, if not genius. His Revan novel just reeks of "I'm doing it to pay for the bills." That he left Bioware not long after was telling.

Re: Just how powerful was Ajunta Pall?
Holy shit they discovered all the little secret of the dark side, reach quasi immortily, made thousand of experience on animals... Live for 100 years...
The Exiles in general just seem incredibly powerful, from Muur's vision showing an Amped Vader killing Sidious to their lost alchemy/esoteric knowledge. They obviously were incredibly powerful, but we'll never known to what extent..

I think a lot of the reason they were so strong was the dark side research was probably building up for awhile, and at the start the users of it were still willing to share, so you temporarily had a state where there was open research with a large number of dark jedi, and rather than sharing secrets, researching was clearly the way to power. Then the schism happened and the leaders went completely darkside and pushed things further and began taking the more selfish paths (Sorzus and similarly clearly did not share all their advanced tricks), but they built on the research done before that point.
