Ok I have been thinking about the storyline for KOTOR III. I think we should be a new character. Bastalla's apprentace. She would have moved up the ranks of the order by KOTOR III, especially since the Consul is dead.
Ok, story, Revan is good, he/she went out into the outer rim, alone, to fight the true sith masters, because old memories have resurfaced about his path.
Exile, is evil now, turned by the pain of being exiled. She/he hates Revan because he was welcomed back even through he started the Civil war and she came back a jedi and was cast out. She/he can detect where he is and wants to kill him for the mess he started.
Bastalla and us, in KOTOR II Bastalla questions Exile about Revan, T3 finds Exile, it all points to that connection. I see Exile leaving the temple at the end of KOTOR II and Bastalla waiting in the shadows, with here apprentence, us. We will follow after her.
I figure a gameplay option is that we will find the characters of both KOTORs but now influence is really important because some people will side with Exile and others will Bastalla. Thus fighting can occur or a team mate will give less than 100% for you is your too light or dark.
We get a choice as well, DS'ers will side with Exile, LS's will remain Bastalla's student. In the end you will either save Revan or kill him.
As for what they all look like a pregame survey for Revan and Exile for control of what they look like.
I am feel more customization of your chacter is a good thing. Hair, eyes, face shape, body, height, build, everything.
Also, as for script, go all out, I think it was Call of duties new game, I know it was a WWII game had a acadamy award winning script writer come in to do the story. KOTOR's fans can drink and vote, were not kids. KOTOR is star wars after dark, we diserve an adult story, one that tackles more mature issues concerning the nature of light and dark. Not some sterotype cookie cutter bad guys.
