10 Video Game Plot Twists That Totally BROKE You
8. You're Darth Revan - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
If media has taught us anything repeatedly, it's that we should always be deeply suspicious of amnesiac protagonists, and yet, most of us fell hook, line, and sinker for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's big reveal.
The player character is a Jedi who is tasked with defeating the Sith Lord Darth Malak, but at the end of the game the all-timer twist is revealed, that the player is actually Malak's Sith master, Darth Revan.
Revan, who was believed killed earlier in the story, was actually scooped up by the Jedi Council, who wiped his memories and rebuilt his identity as a Jedi, with the hope that his suppressed memories as Revan might also make him useful in taking down his former apprentice Malak.
Though there are certainly some clever hints to the twist throughout the game, it's incredibly easy to get swept up in the sheer enormity of this RPG and not even slightly suspect that something might be amiss with our "hero."
