I absolutely love when you very first meet Atton and you say Revan was a woman, when he talks about the wrath of a woman who falls to the dark side.

Personally, I can't choose one of the other, especially if judging between them in gameplay terms. I loved each character, they were both wicked. However in terms of their stories I would say I like the Revan's more. Revan- Was an excellent revered student of the Force. Most of the Master's thought highly of him as a Padawan. When the Mandalorians attack, the Repubilc pleads for the Jedi's help and Revan answers, bringing all those who would follow him to the war. Revan uses his prowess to win the war for the Repubic and on his travels finds evidence of a bigger war that has yet to come. Revan realizes that this new war is one that cannot be fought like any other and chooses (or so I believe) to "fall" to the Dark Side. Revan transform's his troops and brings "war" to the Republic by his hand. He takes out all that in the Republic that would damage its infrastructure. He builds Hk-47 to assassinate all those who might weaken the Republic. He keeps the Republic infrastructure intact as well as it's armies and through battle strengthens them. He also has a plan for each Jedi, wanting to bring them to his side not kill them. Revan attempts to become hte galaxies savior by becoming it's tyrant. Revan is betrayed by Malak and nearly killed. He is kept alive by Bastilla and has his memories modified. Revan becomes (insert your character name here) and goes about becoming the Republic's savior again, in a different way. During the travels (Your character name here) finds out that he is not who he believed himself to be but actually Revan, the feared Dark Lord. Revan kills Malak and slowly starts remembering all he had done in his time as the Dark Lord. Once again he realizes the threat that is coming for the Republic and sets out to meet it head on. Exile- Exile is not a reknowned student of the Force. She (sorry but I will refer to the Exile as female) is however reknowned for being a natural leader, the ability to forge connections through the Force, her strong connection to the Force, and is also known for being a bit rebellious. When Revan heeds the call of the Republic, the Exile follows him. She leads her troops well. However she gives the order that causes the biggest castastrophe of the war, the order for Bao-Dur to initialize the Mass-Shadow Generator, causing the death of most of the Mandalorians, many of her own Republic troops, and Malachor V itself, creating a gaping maw in the Force. This act of destruction takes its toll on the Exile. (I am not sure if Revan tries to have her 'turned' or if she returns to the Council first ^^; ) She is taken by Revan's new force back to Malachor V and yet she resists its power by severing herself from the Force. The Exile returns to the Jedi Council and feel within her the echo of the Force, the absence of the Force, the death of the Force and she is Exiled. For 10 years the Exile wanders the far reaches of the galaxy. The Exile returns and is faced by the knowledge of the near death of the Jedi Order. Slowly the Exile restores her connection to the Force and searches out what is left of the Jedi. Through her travels she reconnects with the Force, finds the Jedi (some of them at least), helps to stablize key planets in the Republic, learns of her companions, destroys the "Sith" in the Republic, stops the echo coming forth from Malachor V, and learns of what Revan is doing in the end going to find him. ------ All in all I would have to pick Revan, but I really love the Exile as well.

I am a female gamer, and for KOTOR I really preferred the Storyline of the male, while the little romance between Revan and Carth was a bit funny at times, Bastilla and Revan's was much more believeable. But outside of the romance terms, the male story of KOTOR just worked for me better. However, for KOTOR II, I really found the female better. I've played the game countless times with both male and female Exiles, and the female Exile was much more believable to me. The conversation between your party members was more interesting and for me at least the storyline flows better with the female Exile. Oh and for the record, I know a lot more female Star Wars fans than male.
