As much as it supprieses me, i agree with you. Dispite the fact i've grown really found of being Reven, i wasn't very happy when i found out who i was. Kind of rips that whole feeling of, being YOU out of the Char... cause you NOT you, you HIM...(if that makes since.)
I always wanted a game to work like this... bare with me here..
The game starts, you a baby... found to be force sincitive. This is where you name your Avatar, chosse a look, and a sex.
Flash ahead. your a young padwain, in training. Random jedi masters are working with you, training you, and asking you question that lead to detearming your Class, combat style, ect ect ect.
maybe you can pick an option to spend more time in saber training then force training and be a Guardian.
Maybe depending on how you answer, it'll effect your personally / alliginment. If your a punk, you start closer to netural dark, or if your respectful and such, you more of a light sider.
maybe, if different saber combat styles are avalible, you can choses a different master to teach you... or have a different master represend a different feat you start with... same with force powers.
the last stage of this sub quest could be you building your first light saber, that way you can make either a single, a Staff, or a single / short for two handed... and chosse the color instead of being locked into one...
you know, have like a mini sub quest to start out with, that show's how your Jedi became who he/she is.
Than, after all that, you start your accually QUEST.
That way, you accually build your Jedi from a baby to what ever age you are when you start. That would add a personal feel to it, i belive.
That's what i'd prefur.
If not that, a really well writen Char that ISN'T preastablished. I'd hate an RPG made around the OT, cause you know Luke, you know how he turns out, and you pretty much know what you have to do... and what fun is that?
