There's a canon Revan in The Old Republic?

:|

Yep. There's been a "canon" Revan for quite some time. Light side male. <_<

I honestly think Obsidian was pushing for a female Revan considering how Carth got much more screen time and much more time reminisating about FemRevan. Quite sad.

Sorry, got distracted by this piece of unused ME2 text. Thanks Mesina2 for posting this link at new "leaked info" discussion, I nearly died from laughter at the end of post.

There's some awesome stuff in there. MassGasmic. And they totally should have left this as a journal note for a sidequest somewhere. "You suck! I mean... great! you completed this task!"

I think Carth is more in KotOR2 as opposed to Bastilia simply because he's easier to write into the setting of KotOR2 than her. (The Republic rebuilting, so Carth can still be a soldier, as opposed to all the Jedi destroyed/in hiding, so where can Bastilia be put in that would be appropriate?)

It's nice how Obsidian DID let you choose Revan's gender and alignment, in order to keep it ambiguous. However, it's a bit annoying that LucasArts chose canon for both Revan and the Exile just so they could milk the Old Republic part of the timeline some more. (what with the novels and the MMO).

I love my female Revan, of course, but since they *had* to chose canon for them, I'm glad that the Exile was female instead of Revan (although they both could have been female... mwhahahaha.)

Love the art, guys!


My long, personal opinion:


Well, regarding all the hoopla, I guess you all know I retain my optimism, despite what I read. Why? Because based on past games, they are never going to completely screw over a LI without any player choice or recourse; particularly those characters that are from the very first game that people who played ME completely fell in love with. Fan rage would be off the charts! I mean, if you can still get a happy(ish) ending with Anders if you want it (despite the cluster f**k of the endgame), the VS should be a walk in the park, and because so many people were furious with the whole Anders/DA2 character crucification thing, I don't think they will repeat the mistakes of the DA2 team....and remember these are different teams and writers.

I think ME2 was the worst downpoint  in the whole series for me, and things can only get better after the depression-darkfest that game was. I think I mentioned before that I played it at release and was so disheartened by the storyline of being separated from your LI and having to work for an organization that I absolutely DESPISED from all the missions in the first game, that I set it aside for an entire year before I could even stand to look at it, muchless play it again.

After so many years of following this series and hoping the conclusion will make it all worthwhile, I'm not prepared to give up. I still have my CE all prepaid and won't consider cancelling for any reason, because I need that closure. Now, if upon playing the game I feel the storyline and characters in ME3 suddenly change, and it feels like a betrayal of all I knew and loved from the Mass Effect world, I won't be prepared to give my loyalty or trust to another BW venture. I'm willing to trust them with ME3, and if it is a miserable screw-up, then I'm breaking up with them.

But I really don't think it will happen! It would be bad business, and I think they're smarter than that. They want to tell a good story, yes; but they want to keep customers too. I really do think ME3 will satisfy most of us, or I wouldn't still be here.

Tl;dr I will buy the game and play it, and only then will I be in a position to either praise it as a success, or dismiss it as a dismal failure.

After my first playthrough, I'll be glad to write a review for those of you waiting to hear how others like it before deciding to get it or not.

Without spoiling anything, his role IS big. He's arguably the most important squaddie along with Liara.

I've been so tempted to actually go and skim the leak (I do plan on reading it when I finish ME3, though, I'm not going to lie), but with knowing this, my hunger is sated.  Thanks, Isaac!  

No prob. I really don't wanna spoil anything but I see people are very very worried. Yes, there may be things people will not like (though it ain't 100% sure yet if they will even make it to the game, these were early drafts, not to mention what people will or will not like is completly subjective) but Kaidan definitely is hella lot in ME3 and there's no forced/unavoidable death for him fans were so worried about. I think that's what people want to know the most.

Thanks Isaac, Mineralica, and Bekkael & anyone else I have missed for the optimistic posts. I have been really tempted lately just to read the damn leak just because of the negative responses I have been seeing from the character threads, and I am worried I won't get my perfect ending where Shepard & LI run off into the sunset.

I like happy endings, I don't have a play through where anyone died on the SM. But what I want the most out of ME3 is closure. I want all my Shepards to have closure, I preordered the CE in July and I will play through ME3 with all my shepards, & I want the story endings to give them justice. After if the game turns out to be to dark for my tastes I will probably never start a new play through but I must have closure, loose ends bug me to no end.

My main goal is to have a perfect ending with my LI without totally going against my characters morals. My big concern was what I highlighted in bold from Issac's post. I hope there will be no unavoidable deaths for Kaidan, after waiting since ME1 to finish my romance with him, I'd be pretty upset. Regardless that was my biggest concern so thanks Issac for clearing that up. <3

Also I think we all need to listen to the locker scene again in ME1, because that is how I am feeling right now. Especially listen to Kaidan say "everything will be fine Shepard, you'll figure it out" because in all honesty that's all I want to hear from Bioware or someone who read the spoilers.

So can anyone that read the spoilers "pull out a good old fashioned it will be alright" please?

EDIT:  Also...

I read them and it really will be alright people are worried without proper cause. Stuff that's in there is choice based stuff and people automatically freak about it. Don't worry, we'll all get our happy ending, I'm sure of it

It will be absolutely fine! Really! The more of the VS "spoilers" I read the more confident I become that all will be well.

Agreed, I read a lot of them as consequences to choice rather than linear play.  I think that's the problem most people had with this.

Trust me, I am the world's worst of worrying unnecessarily.  And I can guarantee you that everything will be alright.

The last few posts here make me feel all warm and fuzzy and hopeful! Thank you

[LadyofRivendell]

There's only one thing of all the spoilers that really worries me... And honestly, it's one of the minor things (but it's also one of my pet peeves). I still have faith, but that one thing really disappointed me. Which is where my duct-tape idea comes in handy.

i should post something..

umm..

I hope Kaidan doesnt share a storyarc with Ashley for being VS.

I'm fine with identical story arc. But identical dialogues are unacceptable. It's one thing to buy that two different people could end up in the same situations due to sharing the same position/job & due to various external factors/events they don't have control over. It's another thing to buy that they could say exactly the same words and share the same motivations/reasoning etc. There's only so much suspension of disbelief a viewer/reader/gamer (basically any human living in the real world) can accept. Identical dialogues coming from 2 different people is way beyond anything that's believeable.

The fact that they both have completely different ranks, added in with the VS playing a large role in general for ME3 I think bodes well for the chance that they wont be identical copies of one another, give or take a few bits and pieces

Another reason to add up to why I'm so anxious to see just a few seconds of Kaidan in-game. I mean yea, the promo shot with him, Shepard and Liara was great, but really I want to see how he's going to look on my TV screen for the whole month straight I'll be staring at him (I intend to drag this game out as long as possible, and that's not even including replay time)

myself well enough that regardless of what happens I'm going to have to

towards certain characters that aren't Kaidan before? Sorry, I can't
have faith like that. And yeah, I'm sure Sbarge has recorded plenty of
lovely lines, but if to get them I have to force my Shepards to roll
over like whipped dogs and act in a way that's completely out of
character for them, then I guess I just won't be getting them. Whatever.

Ha I've rolled over like a whipped dog for lesser things. I know exactly how you feel though, but at the end of the day it's a video game and you just have to go LALALALA PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED. You certainly shouldn't let it make you miss out on content you really want to experience. Sigh... if only we could have mods.

Not to mention it's extremely stupid when it uses the same amount of resources. I'm always irritated by the waste when, for example generic npcs are allocated a seperate actor and seperate soundfile then the squander it by giving the entire town the same line.

[LadyofRivendell]

Hey fdgvdddvdfdfbdfb, interesting username you have there.

I'd never cancel my preorder for the game. Even if they suddenly took Kaidan out altogether, I'd still get it just because I've invested so much time and gotten so attached to the series. If it ends up being awful, then I just won't replay it as often as I usually would.

Thank you!!!   I'm a lurker and I was hoping someone would post something like this. I'm fighting the strong urge to go read it but you gave me more strengh!

Thanks guys for the reassurance! <3 I needed to hear that from the people that have read the spoilers, it puts me at ease because like Cpolisch mentioned, I am also one of those people that worry unnecessarily. Though I am too stubborn to spoil myself so I just keep worrying when I see negative opinions and worries about the VS.

Thanks, that's also an interesting way of putting it . Yeah I always get frustrated when all the good names are taken so I did the old shgdiojsdog keyboard jammin.

I wonder if you would feel the same way if the protagonist was different though. DAO to DA2 for example there was no extra incentive for me to play.
