Ah, you misunderstand what I meant. I didn't mean some great "MY GOD! I'M REVAN!" plot twist. I meant actually starting out as Revan, knowing that the character is Revan. Players naming their character could be accomodated by the fact that the pc may be revan but would prefer to think of himself in the only identity he remembers ie. the one from Kotor.
Oh, my mistake. It would solve how HK-47 and T3 being your party-members to who's alive and not. But there's one problem though, which has been adressed several times before: How can Revan gone from being the one with the most powerful connection to the force to loosing his lightsaber, having his/her forcepowers at an apprentices level?
Also, Obsidian stated in the articles that Revan would only be a NPC in KotORII.
