SW:TOR Update- Drew Karpyshyn's New Book- Revan

So todays update was not so much about TOR, but a big deal (at least to me) nonetheless.

Drew Karpyshyn revealed that his new book is going to be titled Revan, and would quite obviously focus on Revan and what he did after KOTOR. I'm a kinda happy and sad about this at the same time. While it is awesome to know that Revan's story is actually going to be fleshed out, this also means that the possibility of KOTOR 3 ever happening pretty much went to zero. I had held out before that down the line after TOR had been out a while they would go back and make a KOTOR 3 to fill in the period from KOTOR 2 to TOR, but that seems like very improbably now.

Anyway though, still definitely something to be excited about. I haven't read any of Karpyshyn's stuff but I've heard good things about the Bane books so hopefully it turns out well. There is the problem though that Revan will be set in stone now and this might anger some KOTOR fans. I'm not as upset because my Revan is pretty similar to the canon one, but I'm sure others won't be as content.

He also talks about other characters playing a large part in the book and the ones he mentioned (Bastila, Exile, T3, and Canderous) are all good characters so I'm happy about that. Like I said, I'm kinda dissapointed, but this still sounds like it could be a great read.

Wasn't happy about this yesterday, I like the books but want info on the game, even more so after last weeks poor attempt at an update.

But it seems that what quite a few could be correct that the Emperor is mentioned in Karpyshyn's Bane books and I tended to agree with that arguement since I saw it on the forums so that part will be interesting.

Crappy update. But, I can't wait for the book. I have to wonder why they keep switching authors though. Granted, Fatal Alliance, failed to grab my attention I can see why changing the author there was good, but I enjoyed Deceived. I really enjoyed that guy's writing style. I'm a fan of Drew, and a bit disappointed he's working on this now, instead of the new Mass Effect novel some other author is working on. Either way I'll buy it.

As for people getting mad over it not being there Revan, I could care less. There has always been a cannon revan.

NOW GIVE ME AN UPDATE.

I am happy with them changing authors, for me the different writing styles makes the books feel very different from each other so feel more like seperate stories to me. If the same characters were being used I would agree that they should stick with the same author.

Also the Darth Bane books were very good so it is great to see Drew Karpyshyn doing a book for this time period.
