I love how this game spends the entirety of the story telling you Revan was a badass, and then tells you that you were Revan all along. Ultimate power fantasy
Movie viewers: "How do you top, "Luke, I am your father?"
Darth Revan: "Hold my mask..."
@@Nesseight TBF, everyone already knew about vader for decades. No one gets surprised by that anymore.
One day, this might seem old, and the only reminder of it's awesomeness is a reaction video.
Revan was so badass, she couldn't believe it herself.
If you were a random jedi, Bastila wouldn't care at all... you might get lucky and become her apprentice at best. But guess what, Revan always pulls the uno reverse card.
Thats why KotoR is the best plot in all of SW lore, and one of the best RPGs ever produced.
The "I am your father" moment of our generation.
Wow this is a great way of putting it.
I think it might actually be a better reveal, having been part of the story from the start and hints having been dropped about it.
@@thomasjoychild4962 nope
@@filipbabovic8474 Well YMMV
And without Hammill's terrible fucking acting too!
Genuinely heartwarming to see someone still unspoiled for this sort of thing getting to experience it for the first time.
When I saw this video and you with the glass of water, I feared you would choke at some point. Would you have preferred a "put away your water warning" or is that too much of a spoiler?
Yeah, i revealed this yesterday (1st time playing kotor + not spoiled) and for me, it was the biggest plot twist in star wars game.
-
PS: Before that, I’ve seen a communication option, where i was joking about me being revan, so i thought about it, but then i thought, that it’s not possible, because Revan was male and i could have choose female so it really got me.
Played this game when it came out, was about 11 lol this scene shocked the hell outta me
I never played the game when it came out however I just played through the game last week. I was completely surprised by the reveal and somehow I avoided spoilers all these years.
@@buddhabrand1849 Assuming you haven't yet, I recommend playing Kotor 2 as well. Like Kotor 1, it's a gem.
One of those rare moments where everyone in chat knew what was coming and we were all just waiting to see Lowco's reaction.
'I have a red lightsaber!'
Yeah..
KOTOR is one of those games where you can really find yourself vested in the story.
Finally a streaming moment that captures the shock perfectly.
It is hard to reach this moment without having found a spoiler, because it is an older game.
Edit: Also, the look on her face when she gets trolled by an npc.
@@zincwing4475 I'm amazed no one spoiled her
@Lo Fell I was gunna say. Not totally sold lmao.
Carth: "Down you go!"
*Gets force pushed down*
Never gets old
Carth is the funniest character in that game with his battle dialogue
Force: *Carth wants to talk to you*
You: *questions Carth*
Carth: "I don't wanna talk about it. Let's get going."
No lie.
My Malak Voice: "Down you go."
Exactly what I was going to write lol
I remember when I was 12 playing this game and my mind was absolutely blown. My favorite video game of all time
that plot twist was a real WTF moment back in the day. Tried to re-play this game not to long ago and realized that although it was fantastic for its time, it really hasn’t aged well
Knightfang1 how does a story not age well? Of course it’s not gonna have the same shock value when you replay it cuz you know what’s coming. I think the plot twist is right there with “I am your father.” I replayed the game recently and loved it. Sure the games graphics and combat system are dated but still enjoyable. I’m just curious what you mean by not aging well
@@josephflanigan3649 I think he meant the gameplay and visuals. The story is probably the best SW content made.
TheAutumnNetwork that makes sense! I read it a little too fast. Haha.
@@Knightfang1 dont forget these guys were rushed by George lucas to complete this game.
Now THIS is how you write a plot
Foreshadowing
Mistery not forced
False knowledges
Write this down because TROS plot twist was not a plot twist at all, rather a question
The plot twist in TROS would have worked if palpatine told kylo and thus the audience this right at the opening scene and allowed the movie to be 3 hours long so we can think it over.
@@stevenirizarry1304 exactly this is why Disney has failed, always.
Steven Irizarry Frankly, I don't think that would be enough time to flesh out Palpatine's return. They should've set it up if they had wanted to do it, but they had no plan and screwed up yet again. Besides, that's only one of myriad problems in Rise of Palpatine.
Mistery
Good plot twists are the ones that acutally made perfect sense
Plot twist is a revelation, not a plot hole
Alternative lines proposed and rejected for the KOTOR movie:
Malak: Bastilla never told you who my master was, did she?
"Revan": She told me you killed your master.
Malak: No. You are my master.
"Revan": No, thats impossible!
perfect
Malak: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Revan : NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!....NOOOooo.....
Me: No... this is some type of trick! A Sith lie!
@@PhantomRedKnight Malak: "you are a sith lie."
That famous Jedi mercy where they delete your mind and lie to you until you find the truth from the villain in the story...
@David Craig In a way it is even more twisted than killing.
You sound like a sith pal, dealing in absolutes n shit.
Revan had amnesia before going to the Jedi. The injuries from Malaks blasts caused them
I swear, people are so enamoured by the story of KotOR that they forget that Revan was actually monster. Watch the videos of HK teaching Exile how to kill Jedi, for reference. Sparing his life was far more than he deserved
@@AntisepticHandwash Revan did some dark things but he also preferred turning jedi to his side only killing them if they didn't. He also left infrastructure intact when he conquered worlds and only sacrificed when the gains outweighed the loss. Malak was the one known to be the brute of the two, bombing worlds and shit
They just don't make'um like they use to.
Yeah, that's because plot-twists involving mistaken identities were epic only when the first few movies and games did it. Today if a brand new story used it, it wouldn't be as shocking
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 True, it would be a trope at this point.
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 I remember reading a medieval book, what a clicé, I thought, but it was new at the time.
Owlcat Studios do one of the very few rare gem devs left. Check em out
They’re better today.
Ah old Bioware, they were truly the guardians of good rpg story telling, before the dark times... before EA.
I hate to inform you... This was back when they were still under EA.
Everything BioWare has done has been under EA (Besides maybe a few games prior to Jade Empire).
Bioware did alot of good games under Ea they only turned to absolutely shit when Ea forced their hand into turning everything into microtransations and forced them to use their engine
Yeah I'm aware of that, ME1 and Dragon are origins were all also during the ea era. It's more like Pre 2010 EA = The old republic, while 2011 onwards = The empire.
@@muhammednamdar4448 bioware was bought by EA in 2007 so Dragon Age was developed during the Ea reign.
@@muhammednamdar4448 yeah they clearly start meddling in Dragon Age 2.
"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan... and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
-Darth Malak to Revan
This game deconstructs the Jedi and their “empathy”, and how Revan was the one who did everything. *He* (Revan is canonically male) beat the mandalorians, *he* saved the galaxy twice, but the Jedi lay the claim to victory at their own feet.
And then KOTOR 2 took that idea, and made it the focus of its plot.
Focus of Kotor 2 was actually on The Exile how she is a void in the force and can influence others to join her .
Lad's Lounge it is about both in my opinion
@@ladslounge2698 Yes on a surface level it is about the Exile, but it goes much deeper than that.
The Jedi masters in Kotor 2 passed judgement but refused to accept their teachings may be to blame, except for Zez-Kai Ell, who says he is no longer a Jedi at all.
Their teachings were as bad as the Siths, which is why Kreia wanted to kill them along with the Sithlords, then start over again.
In her own words when talking about your companions she says "They were the lost Jedi, the true Jedi upon which the future will be built."
If Kotor had remained canon, the entire Jedi order would have been officially rebuilt by Atton, Bao-Dur, Visas and the other Jedi the Exile trained.
The point is.. KotOR saga is the goat
@@ultrademigod very accurate !
I was 8 when I played this and I still remember how the revelation blew my mind. I was like "I'M the villain everyone was talking about?!" 🤯
The Revan reveal is easily one of the best plot twists in not only Star Wars but also in the entire video games history.
and the best/worst part: the hints were EVERYWHERE
@@Raven-zz4ztyeah I like how the hint are so obvius when you replaying the entire game again..
Truth
Soyjak.png
It's a great plot twist, but I wasn't able to take it seriously in 2003 due to the fact that I called my very first character "Revan" because "Hey, that's a _cool_ name", and the rest of the game had my character adamantly insisting "I'm not Revan, I'm Revan!"
This game was just one massive Chekhov’s Gun. So many characters mentioning som small piece of information that didn’t seem important. But then it’s thrown all together, and it makes perfect sense. I truly wish I could play this game for the first time all over again.
A massive... Galaxy Gun, eh??
The look on your face, watching as you process and slowly start putting all the information together really just cracked me up!!
Priceless! Because I felt the same way!
Sebastian Arnold takes me back to when I was playing this back in 2007. I was barely 14.
It’s funny how the reveal is cut together from clips and conversations that have already happened. The only new information is Revan taking off her mask and the game gambles that you have figured it out by then and just confirms your suspicion. It’s really cleverly done and because of the way it’s cut together from old material it really feels like the entire story has been leading up to this inevitable point.
As a kid this blew my mind lol.
I remember being 13 years old playing this. I was mind blown.
I was like 28 & it blew mine lol
@@dhu55ein9 It was crazy. Growing up I always knew Darth Vader was Luke's father. But this.....I was like holy shit. I always thought you were just come guy.
@@johnnyb7628 it’s such a well crafted twist. I played kotor for the first time 2 days ago and already finished it, it uses all the tropes of an RPG to it’d advantage, a blank slate protagonist with no backstory (because of mind wipe). Overpowered protagonist (because he’s darth Revan) etc. And everyone in the game tells u how much of a badass revan is and then it’s like holy shit I am him
It's very clever writing and when you look back on all that you've done and all the conversations you had with the other Jedi it starts making more and more sense.
When I first played this I initially speculated about Revan at least surviving somehow, as Master Vrook said when you start your Jedi training
"Is Revan truly dead? "What will happen if we train this one and the Dark Lord shall return?" I was then like how would my training draw Revan back from the dead? I thought about it for ages as I was playing and it wasn't until I built my lightsaber that I had a shock moment and was like HOLLY HELL IM REVEN aren't I?!! I couldn't believe I figured it out early back then.
Yeah I think they got to obvious with that line but I still didn't know until the reveal
I still didn't work it out before the reveal :P
@@thomasjoychild4962 Same, but when I first played it i didn't pay much attention to the dialouge
Maybe now for today standards the writting has become too clever and obvious but back then this was revolutionary, and this considered to be one of the greatest plot twist ever
And some reactions of the "Yoda" guy in the council when he interrupts others not to tell you too much... For a writer / content creator was a dead give away!!!
I felt this exact same way once I learned the truth of my past.
You mean MY past. Traitor!
Revan army
@@Emperor-Fatalis I am Revan reborn. And before me you are nothing.
@@Emperor-Fatalis You mean MINE, impostor...
@@darthrevan1012 no man you kinda sus
Oh boy. I envy this young lady. I remember when I realized it. Good times.
Not gonna lie, they did a pretty good job turning my story into a video game.
Revan my boy!
mannnn go tell disney to make this shit a tv show or moves
Wow you're late to the part but it's great to see people still enjoying this!!
The single greatest moment in gaming history... PERIOD!
Nah that was the last codac conversation in metal gear solid 2
Its good but not the greatest moment in gaming history, being the that the fraction of sw fans play videogames and 1/3 of those fans played this game, not taking into consideration of the people who dont know what starwars even is let alone have ever played or know what kotor is.
@@memeprez1281 kotor was game of the year 2003 though.
I'd offer a few to compete in my opinion...but they're from Mass Effect 1 & 2....also by Bioware.
Joseph Gentile Tell that to the end of Half-Life 2.
You couldnt have a twist like this these days, youd have to throw away the internet
Yeah pretty much!
Oh the fond memories from 15+ years ago! This was a big thing back in the day when this game was brand new :)
The best character to ever come out of Star Wars. Nothing can change my mind.
Cameron Marsh he will be the best again if keanu reeves plays as revan in a KOTOR movie
Kriea
@@jeremygeller9145 Second best
Kyle Katarn!
All of these mentioned characters are legendary. Kreia, Exile, and Canderous were awesome. Katarn was a really unique character too!
Im glad I played this game before TH-cam, Facebook, or even MySpace could spoil it for me.
One of the greatest reveals in gaming history.
I was FLOORED when I first experienced this years and years ago.
It's a damn miracle your chat didn't spoil this
This was one of the best games I ever played in my life. From first building my lightsaber and choosing my class to finding out I was a freaking Sith Lord. Love it
this actually freaked the F outta me when I got to this part of the reveal. I was glued to the screen and was like Nooo wayyyy, that's impossible!
Still the best reveal in gaming history to this day.
One of the greatest reveals in the entire Star Wars universe :D It's really cool that you got to experience this moment without it having been spoiled first. I caught on when I saw the flash back of Carth and realized what was being said. It really turns the game into a special memory :D KOTOR was one heck of a ride
*[hates on revan*]
*your raven*
Me: *oh sh-*
This is the single best instance of Star Wars media trying to replicate the "I am your father" twist.
0:18 gets me every time😂😂😂
I just saw this in my recommendations and deadass thought there was an official reveal of revan being canonized lol
He is. They mentioned him in a Rise of Skywalker art book.
Hero's Shade I meant like an old republic series or something not just mentions. I know they used his name as a sith trooper legion in tros and had a deleted clone wars episode with him as a cameo
I literally just subbed because of this alone! It reminds me of my reaction the first time.
Aw thanks! As hard as it is to believe, I went into this game completely blind. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked!
@@LowcoGames I have to say, that storyline is one of the best starwars story lines I've ever seen.
Been 18yrs since this game came out and it's still the greatest Star Wars game of all time.
Ahhh mannn the 2 kotor games are amazing I still play them to this day
It amazes me there are still Star Wars fans finding this out for the first time. It blew my mind as a child
One of the best plot twists in gaming history
I remember when I discovered it quite well. It was morning, I was playing while my brother watched. Our computer at the time was older and we couldn't play the cinematics properly, but the part where Revan takes off the mask isn't a cinematic but is functionally a conversation. So while we didn't have the reminders, we were still shocked to discovered that we'd been playing Revan the whole time. We didn't know what to think, or if we should tell our older brother about this, as this was his game but I was playing ahead of him. Later when we were talking about how the session had gone, I mentioned an interesting development. My older brother then said "Of course. As we all know, (other brother's name) is Darth Revan." I was shocked, but apparently he'd accepted spoilers ahead of time and knew about the reveal. It became a running joke among us henceforth that our other brother was Darth Revan, and he kinda imprinted on it. Sorry for the length, but I thought it was a fun story.
This was great to see. A genuine reaction without spoilers.
It’s kind of interesting seeing that the game is so old, spoilers aren’t floating around anymore.
Still one of the biggest reveals in gaming history and a big part of why I love Revan’s story so much.
I watched very few videos on KOTOR, mostly for puzzles but when I first saw this, my jaw dropped
There need to be more video games with plot twists of this magnitude.
This is the wholesome content I come to YT for.
I remember playing this game when it came out for the original Xbox. When this scene came up and revealed you were revan I was like oh shit. This game will always be one of my favorite games of all time
I discovered this game just last year, and man did that twist catch me off guard too! Since then, KotOR has become one of my favourite games of all time. 2nd favourite currently. I was eagerly awaiting your reaction to this😅
It's Great & Even Humbling that as someone like me who sits here and watches another & far younger Star Wars Fan & Gamer STILL get THE EXACT SAME REACTION to KOTOR's REVAN REVEAL that I did 18 years ago is all the proof & the ABSOLUTE Testament to WHY this Game & its Sequel are STILL On A WHOLE Different Teir & Level That ANYTHING Newer On THE BEST & Most ADVANCED Gaming Systems TODAY Could Ever DREAM of Reaching When it Comes To GREAT STORY, DEPTH & CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT...It's the SAME reasons why these two LEGENDARY CLASSICS have been ported over to Mobile Capability & WHY they will BOTH be Ported, Possibly Remastered & Re-Released On BOTH the NEWEST GENERATION CONSOLES Alike...ANY Game that can STILL somehow TRANSCEND through more than 15 or 20 years into a WHOLE new generation of gamers, overcome the barriers of time & technology from its VERY ORIGINS Of Birth & Existence to STILL Elicit the SAME Reactions No Matter the FORMAT it's Played on & The Age Of the player...In MY eyes, It's MORE than a LEGENDARY Gaming Masterpiece of Star Wars, Its a LITERAL Living(Albeit INANIMATE)IMMORTAL ENTITY, Perhaps Even Something Far MORE...but I can't find the words to describe it as of yet.💯💯👍👍😀😀😀😀
I was not expecting to have a sudden swarm of emotions come flowing back from just remembering this game, countless hours and play throughs of this game. Even now every time I play it I'm still somehow caught off guard with how your revan. God damn I miss this game
Her reaction was similar to mine aha. I’m glad you are enjoying this game!
It is so cool seeing your first reaction. I remember playing this a long time ago, and it was around 3am when i saw this part and it blew my mind. I could not put the game down until i finished it after that....
*LowcoGames:* Are you trying to say that I'm Darth Revan?
*Darth Malak:* You don't remember anything? Ha - ha - ha - ha - haaaaaa
I played this game so much as a kid, I loved seeing your reaction to it.
greatest reveal of my entire childhood. no video game will ever compare
I have always loved this scene, and watching someone experience it for the first time is wonderful.
I remember when i was kid and find out about revan i was like drunk per 2 days
If I could erase a memory it would be this reveal just so that I could experience it all over again. Still the most shocking and awesome moment experienced in a video game.
I remember playing this on the OG Xbox. Got to the reveal and was so stunned that I shut off my console.
Even though this game is nearly 20(!) years old, this moment is still my favorite video game reveal. I was so ready for a cliche of Malak being revealed as the player’s brother, that I was caught completely off guard and my jaw dropped when I realized that my character was Revan. Great storytelling!
Loved watching your reaction. Of course, in the actual KOTOR canon, Revan is a male. I hope you'll react to some Star Wars fan films that feature Revan at some point. I can point you to a few, Lowco, if you're interested.
@Viilixxxzzz Hydra In the old canon, Revan was male, and the Exile was female (her official name is Meetra Surik).
@ Fuck off
@ trolling right?
@@AceLM92 no...and I'm tired of people like you who always think I'm trolling...dumb people
@ how is Revan being male sexist? The female role got filled by the exile who is female.
So happy to see a reveal like this so recently! So many memories lol
Almost 20 years later and it still doesn't get old what a twist
Ah, it never gets old seeing people get their minds blown by this very moment.
Y'see, when this game came out in 03, my brother in law made an event out of it. We're talking a dozen people, pizza ordered, everyone crowded around the TV to watch him play (one Planet per night) And it was "show of hands, what option do we want?" And yes, we picked a light sided female for the first run. The whole Revan is alive thing didn't register because we'd just watch him run FFX, and Braska and Jecht got a lot of screentime for dead dudes. I also remembered this was the same crew who did Baldur's Gate. So, I'm thinking "Yeah, we're some kind of secret apprentice, Manchurian Candidate, or backup plan Revan put in place." After all, it's pre-Disney Star Wars and while there are AMAZING female characters, it's never that female character that's in charge. Revan beat Mandalore, was this amazing tactical genius, Force prodigy, etc. Has to be some big, powerful dude, right?
And it's our Leia-sized Scoundrel. Yeah, I know..."canon" is male, but I think the whole thing played better on an LS female because no one expected it. And here's everyone in the room going "No freaking WAY!" "Oh, that's CRAZY!" "Dude, this is on par with the Bespin fight!"
Of course, my other thought was "Oh, #!@$#. Is Carth gonna shoot my PC dead? And I know we can't let him, but I kinda think I want him to..."
I always name my character Revan or Darth Revan depending on light side or dark side playstyle.
I love the line “ not even the combined power of the Jedi counsel could keep your true identity forever”
Omg i thought i was the only that still played this game
So glad you got to experience the best Star Wars game ever made. Hope you enjoy Kotor 2 and the superb writing it has in store.
I remember the first time I made it to this part of the game. I was 13 years old, I had a suspicion ever since the interrogation with Saul and his death had basically confirmed it for me but I still had my mind blown. This was my "No, I am your father" moment. Should recreate this story as a movie trilogy. Done right it would be a masterpiece.
I remember my first play through. So nice seeing your experience.
This plot twist was enough to make me want to learn more about darth revan, he eventually became my favorite Sith Lord and Character in Star Wars.
My heart was racing as I got closer and closer to the big reveal.
This brought back a memory of the first time I played this too. Was great to see.
This still gave me goosebumps
Lol. Adorable. Man I love how you can see the cogs turning in her head before she figures it out.
A Kotor reaction video in 2020? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
This is still one of my favorite twists, it didn’t come out of nowhere, and except for a few clunky lines by the council on dantooine it wasn’t shouted from the rooftops either.
First time I played I was like "That's not truth! That's impossible!"
This was the greatest moment of any video game I've ever played.
All the fan base has ever wanted was The Old Republic on the big screen
Still get chills every time I get to this part
Still gives me chills. What an amazing twist.
Awesome to see someone who could evade the spoilers around the internet!
This was the thing that made me love Knights of the Old Republic all those years ago. Awesome to see it again.
I believe This was most of our reaction as well. Genuinely shocked and filled with a wide range of emotions
what a game...
I seriously need to play this again ...
Awe man time flies I remember the first time I saw this cutscene over 10 years ago
Yea... I remember my first time seeing the badass Revan revealed
I remember when I found this out years ago... it blew me away 🤣
Oh the glories feels this represents! I'm proud of you young one.
This game changed everything for me, gaming, my love for Star Wars... I’m happy to see you play this, I wish I could get people try this game.
Your shock is so authentic... It's like that time about a few years ago I finally learned Darth Vader was actually Anakin the ENTIRE TIME.
This young one figured it out in advance, impressive, most impressive.
"All this time and you still haven't figured it out?"
Everyone who makes it to this point without spoilers after reveal: "I have been so lucky."
Funny thing! When I first play Kotor, when revan reveal cutscene came up, some bug/error occurred and I did not see my face in revans head. Actually I didn't see any face. He had no head... Just an empty hood... 😂 😂 😂
One of the best plot twists in gaming history. Got this game as a present for christmas in 2013, I was 13 years old at the time and locked myself in my room playing day and night, good times
I too was blown away today when I discovered who Revan truely was!
