He is a Sith from before the GHW. Back from when the bloodlines were far more pure and Naga Sadow was considered one of the most human looking Sith.
So quite different from the "pure bloods" of TOR when the lines are far more diluted.

Yes, and there were people in that time that had no face tendrils.

Look at the Sith behind Sadow. Hell, even Sadow looks pretty tendril-less in the more recent art, honestly.

And then look at Ludo... Neither look at all similar to how they do in the comic. The art from those videos often contradicted what actually happened such as with Bastila challenging Malak.
Anyway, if Bioware is honestly going to claim that Vitiate's body in TOR is his true Sith body I'm just gonna shake my head. It's just another stupid continuity problem in their already hole ridden game.

It's not like Bastial comes in with a mustache and three extra eyes. And no one would make a tendril-less Sith if that had never been seen in that time period before. imo.

Or that's just Bioware (or Gnost) not knowing what they are doing. Ultimately, those videos were fairly inaccurate. I just watched the Exar Kun one and noticed several glaring discrepancies almost all of which dealt with the art.

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.

Wait, what? So you're telling me Revan's evil ghost dragged his dead body all the way to Dromund Kaas from space? The ****?
Basically. Here is the conversation between Darth Revan and Redeemed Revan:
"You hid behind Jedi platitudes! You weren't strong enough to survive the torture, or the battle in the Foundry. I faced them! I survived them!" />
"You've carried on, dragging the remains of a body that should have long since faded to dust." />

I guarantee you the bioware writers were doing a copious amount of blow when they wrote this expansion.

I'm just thankful I get Revan vs Vitiate at least. I originally anticipated Revan dying at the end.

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.

I guess it's too much, then. Fine, I'll read the pages when I have the time. And there's no need to mock me like that.

Sorry for misunderstanding. And I guess the expansion wasn't worth that much, am I right?

You want a summary? The bioware writers are doing drugs, they've resurrected Revan and give him the "fight club" syndrome, and it's all leading to an inevitable showdown with the Emperor.
Not that it matters anymore because I'm definitely not going to be playing this shit and haven't in over a year, but I would be upset if they made Vitiate human, as already has been discussed. His original body is a sith body, so make it a sith body with black eyes.

Lol, that means he's just continued enduring when his body should have died via force of will.
