Just an Idea I had on the whole 'what gender/side is Revan/exile' (ignoring the assumptions about revan being male, exile being female and both light). Just say the game is started with one of the other characters (possibly hk47/tm34 - because they're awesome and have been with both revan and exile) who must identify their (player) companions on some datapad when asked to by the authorities. From there a page is brought up with the kotor and kotor2 faces for the player to pick from. I just think its better when tied into the story like this rather than just being random menus/lists/pages that pop up before gametime. Just an Idea.
Another Idea, probably already been mentioned, but possibly not ; Duelling on board the ship you fly around in, practing against the other NPCs to try out armour, weapons, or just for fun.
