8 Monumental Video Game Plot Twists Nobody Saw Coming – Commenter Edition
1. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
The Star Wars universe has a history of iconic and mind-blowing twists, and Knights of the old Republic offered up a similarly shocking revelation when it’s discovered that the main character is Darth Revan, a former Sith Lord suffering from amnesia after sustaining near-fatal injuries in a past battle.
Over the course of the game, you take on the role of this unassuming soldier of the republic as he embarks on a journey, joining the Jedi order and gradually developing his powers. You have the choice of acting on either the light or dark side of the force and there are inklings along the way that not all is well within Revan’s mind
What we didn’t expect, however, was for this Jedi knight to be revealed as the one-time Sith Lord Darth Revan, former friend and master of Darth Malak – the main antagonist of the game.
As the details of this story were revealed during a confrontation between the two characters, we felt the impact along with Revan as our existence within the game was thrown into doubt. The fact fans still talk about it almost 20 years later tells you what a shocking moment it really was.
