10 Video Game Plot Twists That Were OBVIOUS (If You Really Looked)
1. You Are Revan - Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
The reveal in Knights of the Old Republic that your amnesiac character was the legendary Darth Revan the entire time is possibly one of the greatest plot twists in video game history. Partially, because it's so inspiring. And partially because it's actually really well set up, so long as you're able to notice certain things hidden within the dialogue.
The game makes plenty of references to your character's forgotten identity; you just need to make the connection. The first reference actually happens within the initial few cutscenes of the game, where your character learns how the Jedi use the Force to wipe people's memories after interrogating them. The first time you play, it sounds like nothing more than a little bit of lore or trivia, but given your own character's amnesia, it really makes the twist at the end quite obvious.
There are far too many similar moments in the game to list them all here; however, just this one quote should give an idea of how genuinely well-crafted the foreshadowing of Knights of the Old Republic is.
Now, if only the same could be said about that awful turret mini-game.
