So in TOR we find out about this cult around Revan, the Revanites, that preaches the understanding of both the light side and dark side, much like Palpatine's rant about how to get true power you must study all aspects of the force. (Also in Clone Wars it is revealed that Anakin as the chosen one is the master of both light and dark and that's his strength)

I've always liked to play gray characters and it is fun to not restrict oneself to only choosing one type of option. Renegade Jedis and honourable Sith make interesting characters.

In KOTOR you can walk the path between for the most part of the game and that's great. But at the end however, you either have to go full out psycho-Sith and kill all your friends (except creepy Darkside Bastila, whom a gray sith migh find a bit to extreme and for that reason might want to get rid of), OR become  the Jedi council's new pet, ignoring that they violated your mind.

I'm having a hard time to decide what would suit a neutral Revan. Any opinions?

I hear you, I'm also a bit of a fan of Revan and Kreia's teachings. But you can always have an understanding of both the light and the dark side and then choose one of them anyway. That's how I think sometimes, I have an understanding of both the light and the dark, but in the end I am going with the light because it suits me better. Or you can just go light side and then kill Bastila on the Star Forge.

My two cents...joining the council is the least drastic of those two options, by a long way! I think a neutral Revan would go that route. But the interactions of the Jedi and Revan are not explicitly stated (at least not before the novel Revan), so you could RP it as a reluctant and angry decision.

You're not alone with this, trust me.

I know that some people think, that in ME2 Shepard is "forced" into Cerberus, but Shepard could openly hate cerberus in game (and end as full paragon). Here all anti-jedi options are pure psychotic-chaotic-evil. I'm currently having an "anti-jedi" femRevan run, she loves blaster rifles, light armor and hates the Order.

I know it will end same black-or-white anyway, but I was always good with headcanons. "In case of emergency - use your imagination", you know

I tend to play both Revan and the Jedi Exile as gray characters. KOTOR is the only Star Wars storyline I've been able to stomach. I tend to oppose the anti-emotion, anti-attachment philosophy of the Jedi in the original canon. Revan tends toward dark a little more than the Exile, but neither are fully good or bad. You don't get rewarded as much for playing a grey character, but that is what I find more compelling. Both Revan and the Exile make light side decisions in the end, however.

I've done all kinds of games but never a grey one unless you count light side/ dark side switching sides at the temple which is all kinds of funny. ME2 with Shepard was really caustic, especially as a Sole Survivor in which case you just complain the whole game and get Vasir telling you that you're just as bad as her (my own unit on Akuze), so that was frustrating. I like how in KotOR characters reacted to what you did and on your morality a lot more frequently than they do in the ME verse.

My main Revan's light-sided, cracks a million jokes usually at Bastila's expense but always threatens to beat the Genoharadan messenger to death with his datapad, asks why Bastila did this to her when it comes revelation time and can't stand the torture cage part with Carth. Twin bladed, blue and red and favours a very aggressive fighting style. And she stuffed Juhani in the cargo hold.

I play to ends of the spectrum but I tend to vary my choices in both games when it comes to certain events, head canon and use extensive mods which let me pick things not originally designed.

Allison, there is a good reason that the ME2 characters of Normandy don't really reacted to your Shepard doing bad things or Cerberus. 1)Despite the Cerberus's history, they are doing good fighting the Collectors, 2) They did things in their past that if they question Shepard would make them look like a hyprocrite.

[Allison_Lightning]

But there needed to be options to assail the Illusive Man and Cerberus on Akuze in ME2, even if it was a one off and with Vasir an option to rebut her with three dialogue choice than just a 'don't you judge me'. I'd told the Illusive Man to get screwed at the Collector Base. My problem was that Akuze (And ME2 is my favourite game of the series) was a major character point for my sole survivor and she had personal reasons to be more than sarcastic.

I wanted her to react, maybe have Garrus or one of the other crew ask if Shepard was okay even if this was all for fighting the Collectors/Reapers. (Cerberus was always twisted, they just tried to make themselves palatable to use Shepard to get what they wanted) That's what I meant.

I'm a Cerberus-hating Sole Survivor too

The black or white ending chioces still bug me. My Revan is perfectly neutral (aggressive, but also compassionate), she wants to reclaim her Sith Empire, but not to enslave the galaxy (ok, maybe a bit, but she would be, from her point of view, a wise and fair dictator).

She does not want to kill all Jedi simply for being Jedi, only the zealots, she simply wants to show them her way is better. She would also try to teach the Sith on Korriban to stop being such d*cks and find a bit more peace, harmony and manners. I'm rambling.

So I guess my preferred ending would be the dark side ending, headcanoning that she didn't kill all her friends, only Bastila who had gone way over board with the psychotic evil. Then she ruled the Sith, at least initially intending to ensure the well-being of the people and the preservation of knowledge of the Force, both light and dark.

And then she lived happily ever after with the Exile
(I don't really care much for any of the LIs in both games, so I head canon that Revan and the Exile had a thing back during the mandalorian wars and then meet again)
