no not necisarrily, no one knows what revan is capable of, and no one has seen what he is capable of, we can only imagine and that also goes for the exile
i prefer revan because he was someone to admire, he was a steriotypical hero, hes a rebel defies the will of the jedi council and goes and saves the galaxy he was a general, powerful, everyone loved him and there was mystery to what, who was under that mask and those garmets. he faught valiently and hes the savior of the republic, and then the him going down the darkside was shock to everyone and much mystery surrounded why, and then why malak fired upon him (yeah we know but to the people in the game, the jedi ect.) then the whole "revan is dead" theory, but then finally realising that you where him was amazing, the fact that you where playing as a sith lord and every step you took effected the history of the republic, cause either the downfall of it or to make it flourish
