Goodie-two shoes, building a foundry of droids to commit genocide doesn't  sound like that, not that I liked it. I thought they made him a massive contradiction, (my image of him) he's made to be a super badass and partial Mary-sue, then he keeps getting captured and getting his ass kicked(this continues in The Old Republic, ugh), I understand from a literary perspective it's not very interesting if nothing poses a threat, but the way it was executed just felt very lame.

That, and I felt they retconned a lot of implications and evidence that he waged the war and became Darth Revan for the benefit in the long term, not just for power, and potentially making him a rather gray and complex character, but no, he just HAD to be MIND CONTROLLED. Lame, boring, and not at all interesting.

And that's not even going into the way the other characters were ooc, or not mentioned, or just killed off suddenly, which seems like two giant middle fingers to the fans that got to know them.

All in all, the more I look at this the more pissed off I get at BioWare and Drew Karpyshyn( I don't care if I got it wrong) for doing this, not to mention the novel felt like a rushed lead in the MMO and didn't give much closure, how despite the title it's more about the stupidly titled Lord Scourge, and Drew himself EXPLICITLY STATED that they didn't kill Revan in TOR was so that they could keep doing stuff with him, I just.... Don't know what to say, this topic unleashes my fanboy rage that I should probably ashamed of, anyway, nice to see someone agrees with me on this, Draevan.
