Knights of the Old Republic: Will Revan be Voiced
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2021 1:58 am
From what I understand KOTOR will be a from the ground up remake of the original with not only more modern graphics but also updated gameplay. With that in mind I do wonder if Revan will be fully voiced and if so, how will they hide their voice for the twist.
One common theory among fans is that Kylo Ren's mask was inspired by Revan's mask so I wonder if Revan will be given a voice filter like Kylo. It would be a nice way to tie the two together (giving the implication is that Kylo was trying to emulate two famous Sith Lords) that would be a nice tribute to TDST. Yes, I would list that as a good thing.
Regardless of the my personal feelings about TDST or rumors whether TDST will be retconned out of canon or not TDST is part of Star Wars and will remain so from now on. In real life Kylo's outfit was likely inspired by Revan's so why not imply that is the case in universe too?
On the flip side, I do wonder if the option will be given to have Revan be mute. Both to as a tribute the original game were Revan was a silent protagonist and to add even more options to the game. It's like the idea of giving players the option to play Revan as Non-Binary, players like options and it would be a nice way to have your cake and eat it too. And this would be easy to work around in the flashbacks, just have it were Revan doesn't speak and the story is told through visuals instead of through dialogue.
In fact that might be the best way to handle the flashbacks. No dialogue just visuals of the past when we don't hear anyone talk it's just done though body language and what we see.
Thoughts?
