To OP, it is the greatest problem in the game, just to make us heroic epic superior characters BW used all their "important sources" in KOTOR and seriously destroyed the lore. I have no idea, not a clue about how they will continue the series even if they decide to make an expansion pack or anything.

Killing HK-47 was much much worse though. Seriously i love that droid and i really hope he gets reassembled somehow.
But he's not that exceptional in that regard. Grey or balanced force users are not unheard of. In fact all Jedi originally studied both sides of the force.

There's no such thing, Lightside and Darkside aren't some weird mystic kung fu styles. You either are lightside or you are a darksider. There is no in-between, even 'grey' Jedi are still lightsiders they just have a fundamental disagreement with the High Council about the manner the Order is run.
See the sniper on the hill.
Rifle's loaded, he's ready to kill.

Ummm...Revan may not be dead. He vanished before the finishing blow could be dealt. If anything I think Revan will be instrumental in the final defeat of the Emperor.

Not only that but don't even bother factoring level into this. Your characters are already amongst the elite at that point in the game and a whole team of elite soldiers and sith should definately be able to take on Revan alone. Remember Revan never did the things that he did alone. He had people with him that help him get the things he did done.

No they didn't. The original Jedi studied the Ashla (The force) and rejected the Bogun (the Dark side.

Ah yes, the Potentium Heresy. Only during the Yuuhzan Vong War. During the Swarm War they found it was leading their number to the dark side and during the Second Galactic Civil War it was revealed that Vergere's teaching of the Potentium to Jacen were meant to tempt him over to the Dark Side.

Especially in the case of Kreia.
Revan was her most famous/infamous student, and she took an inordinate amount of pride over his having returned to her before entering into the Mandalorian Wars, and after learning from other Masters.

Despite all her praise of Revan's abilities, it was Meetra Surik (Jedi Exile) whom Kreia herself called her greatest student. Conveniently, every Revan fan-boy forgets this part, since it shows that Kreia holds Surik in higher regard as both a Jedi and a student than "the mighty" Revan.

I think it's a bit more than that. Grey Jedi have command of powers generally only seen by darksiders.

Wrong. "Grey" Jedi aren't some middle ground between the Lightside and Dark. They can't go around shooting Lightning at people when they decide to act, then decide to heal them up so they can be taken into custody. It just doesn't work that way. At all.

A "morally" grey or conservative Jedi still utilises techniques associated with the Lightside, because they don't run the risk of the Dark Side's corruption.

Habeas Corpus

He just sort of explodes at the end and disappears. Considering he's invincible during that time. I figure he just did the force-version of bubble-hearth.

I was more sad about HK-47.
