fluffybunny937 said:I would say Revan in SWTOR. In KOTOR s/he is a blank slate character that I can interpret however I want, which is okay for a featureless protagonist (look it up on tvtropes). In KOTOR2 s/he is given a personality, but much of what makes it work is that Revan is not present and what we learn new about the character is through other people and their experiences with him/her. In SWTOR they made Revan a he, which I guess is okay to give a canon gender/appearance after enough time in this kind of situation. But then we meet Revan in SWTOR and then there is the book where he gets captured by the Emperor. And well, you know that scene in planet of the apes where Charlton Heston sees the Statue of Liberty and yells. It kind of feels like that for me, "You ruined him, you ruined the character from my favorite RPG, damn you all to Hell".
That might not count as a interpretation, but it feels like an entirely different character interpretation to me.
This here.
TOR destroyed all of the (rather considerable) goodwill I had towards Bioware.
Read some material from Drew Karpyshyn where he basically admitted that they made Revan male lightside because it had a more generic appeal for when they cashed in on 'Old Republic' books & comics etc.
Doubly insulting because KoTOR 2-which was famously rushed *and* lacked a data import feature- *still* managed to put in a feature that let you choose Revan's gender and alignment.That TOR, a game with an infinitely longer development time and budget couldn't manage to pull that off is absurd.
