The other day i got to thinking of how should both the Light and Dark storylines for the third KOTOR play out....well here's my theory:
Light side: The Exile will oviously go looking for Revan past the Outer Rim as we saw in the ending of the second, i think eventually The Exile will find Revan and somehow some way the two will duel in the end for the sake of the galaxy in some way.....either way one of them WILL die in my eyes. It will probley have something to do with defeating the real Sith...either masters or master who knows??? Still debating in my mind how these two will come to fight but i believe that the writers will make some kind of no choice scenerio where they have to duel....but as many of you can tell i believe that this next one will be the end of this timeline and IF they make more they'll pick up the story a long time before or after this whole thing is done.....
Dark side- A bit more tricky as The Exile stayed behind to keep Malachor from falling apart....i think that The Exile will train new students at the Academy and strike at the nearly dead Republic and take the galaxy for his own, but the Exile's main goal in all this i think will be what Kreia wanted and that's creatingn a hole in the force big enough to make the Jedi and Sith history, making him invincible to everything.....still hacking that out in my mind too but i think it will involve the Exile's cut off connection to the force somehow. Revan will return to challenge The Exile with the real Sith under his wing. The battle will eventually climake to a fight between Revan and The Exile and the winner RULES the galaxy!!!
I think a great idea would be choosing what character you want to be in the game "Revan" or "The Exile"......i believe that it should involve one of these main chacters for sure because a third party i think would only draw away from the main plot developed in both previous games.....bottom line is i think that it will ALL come down to Revan vs The Exile on either Light or Dark so in my opinion get ready to choose who you want to be......the story could playout in a thousand other ways but this is my theory that i think would satisfy the KOTOR fans and make Lucasarts able to explore a different story and timeline for possibly the IV, V and VI......

It's a pretty good theory, but I doubt they'll let us play the Exile or Revan again, as they'd be way too high on levels. And I agree that the game will be taking place beyond the Outer Rim, and maybe partly in the Republic space as well. But as we're playing a new character (wonder who it is this time), I think we'll have to go beyond the Outer Rim, no matter what. It's really an interesting sequel to see when the time cometh.

If we take foreshadowing into account Revan would be Dark Sided in the sequal. (Or at least a darker shade of gray) And there would be a conflict between the Exile and Revan. 
If you played the Light Side in KotOR I Malak's words before the last battle:
Kreia's comparison of Revan and the Exile:
This foreshadows a conflict between the two. Interestingly enough both Revan's fall to the Dark Side and the Exile's ability to create "wounds" in the force originated in the battle at Malachor V. Hence their meeting would be a kind of closure in the literary sense.
If you played the Light Side in KotOR I Malak's words before the last battle:
pretty much hints at Revan falling (back) to the Dark Side.The darkness and the light wage a constant war within you. The balance is tipped one way now, but it can easily be tipped back. Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things Revan... and yet you are nothing. In the end you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone.
Kreia's comparison of Revan and the Exile:
showed the two to be on opposite ends of in the Force. (Revan is the Force, the Exile is the Anti-Force)Revan was power. It was like staring into the heart of the Force. Even then, you could see the Jedi he would slay etched on his soul. You are different. When I look at you, it is like staring at the death of the Force.

Yeah, and that brings us to the question what will be the new characters role?If we take foreshadowing into account Revan would be Dark Sided in the sequal. (Or at least a darker shade of gray) And there would be a conflict between the Exile and Revan.

There shouldn't be a third party at all because if you bring someone new in it will erode what there trying to create between Revan and The Exile. I think the writers will see that and the developers will make either Revan or The Exile the playable character or both.....they have already done the whole leveling up thing in the first two games so i think that most KOTOR gamers know what to do and how to fight, it's time to start out with either Revan or The Exile, the fans will want it that way.....

Yeah, and that brings us to the question what will be the new characters role?
The original question was about the plot of KotOR III, not characters of KotOR III.
But if KotOR II was any precedent, Obsidian would probably stick some character in at the last minute like a paper mache.
That's what they did with Atton, and incidentally, he was the best character.
(Why build a protagonist from the plot when a generic hero would work better?)
Seriously though, I believe that there is a high probability the protagonist would be Revan starting at Level 1. After all, the Exile was a general of the Mandalorian War and still started at Level 1 since his/her skills have deteriorated over time. Revan has been missing in action for almost 5 years at begining of KotOR II, hence anything could have happened (Hopefully not amnesia again though, since that is getting old).

Well regardless there shouldn't be a third new party coming into this game....i think they should build around characters they've already created eg....Revan, Exile, Carth......but that's IF they wrap up this whole Revan era thing in the third.....because i believe it would be best for the serious if they want it to continue on and be strong....that way with IV, V, and VI they could write a whole new story and create a different timeline in the Star Wars galaxy with the KOTOR series....besides who wants to see a new character....not me!!! let's give the story some finishing credit people.....

Yeah, it could be Revan. I still think it's illogical to have him as a level 1 character... how the heck did he stay alive if his skills degraded that much. My guess is that we'll have a new character.

1) I hope for a new character. I would like to play a padawan with a master, then when I get powerful enough, stab him in the back for supressing my obvious power over the force!
2) Rammstein rulez.

Okay, I think that's enough spam from all of us.
Here's the original post once more, let's try to stick to the discussion:
Here's the original post once more, let's try to stick to the discussion:
Now i have no idea about characters, planets, sabers, etc.....but here's how i think it will all go down, I think this next KOTOR will be the last one and their will be one hell of a battle in the end, either between what's left of the Mandalorians or The Republic or The Sith i don't know. In the end I think The Exile and Revan will battle it out to the death and the winner saves or rules the galaxy.....not an entirly original plan but it's worked before, I think that with the new Xbox 360 graphic capabilities the final battle should be on par with that of Episode 3 between obi-wan and anakin, make it so you will look forward to the final battle put in a video to start the fight out and then hand it off to you along the way, oviously on dark side they fight but i think on light side put them both in a situation where they have to duel. I do not think that Revan and The Exile should be partners, seriously they should make the final battle between them so damn good that you will play through a 50-60 hour game just for the fight in the end.......i don't know just my thoughts but I really think that Revan and The Exile should duel in the end......it just makes sense as kind of a culmination of all 3 games........

Rammstein rules alright!!!
But to get back to topic.....i'm still not really 100% sure on how Mandalore and his clan will play into my theory on the story.....another thing is once they stabalize the galaxy and the Revan situation is dealt with what will they do then??? attack the Republic or fall into obcurity like Kreia said....personally i believe there's too few of them left to cause any throw of power......and what about a title.....light side-
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic III: The Search for Revan
dark side-
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic III: The Death of the Force
I think the second title is better with The Exile trying to destroy the Jedi and Sith and creating a wound big enough to destory the force......

There is of course one possibility:
Perhaps the Exile IS the threat Revan remembered.
- To a Light Sided Revan, the Exile's (uncontrolled) ability to create wounds in the force presents a serious risk to all Jedi. Thus Revan went after the Exile either to cure or destroy him/her.
- To a Dark Sided Revan, the Exile presents the only serious threat to his/her power. Since the Dark Sided Revan is undisputedly the strongest force user in the known galaxy, only someone who can nullify the force could challenge Revan's rule. Hence, Revan went after the Exile to eliminate this threat.
This would explain why Revan went to Malachor, since that was where both his/her fall to the dark side and the Exile's ability to create wounds in the force originated. This would also explain why the Ebon Hawk was close enough to where Exile resided for him/her to be the passenger at the beginning of KotOR II (i.e. The last location of the Ebon Hawk where Revan abandoned the ship and the place where the Exile boarded the ship was not a coincidence).

Very perceptive.....those meetings would be interesting indeed but i believe despite the main focus of the game(that being Revan and The Exile) the story should have more meat to it than just that....like go into these real sith past the outer rim and what there like and how they came to be stuff like that....,possibly even go into where Darth Maul came from like his planet or ancestry or something.....

Darth Maul was an Iridonian, the same race as Bao-Dur.
The Sith as a species have yet to appear anywhere on film or in games.
(Hint: If you get Bao-Dur to the Dark Side in KotOR II, his appearance will resemble Maul

The sith as a species died out a LOOOOONG time ago when dark side force users exiled from the republic landed on their planet (its never said the name or where exactly, except unknown regions), dominated them and inter-married to where "Sith" was just a synonym for "dark force user".

Oh, didn't know that about Maul....to be honest i'm not much of a Star Wars fan outside of the games, don't get me wrong i seen all the movies but i took to the KOTOR story and universe a lot more than the original and new Star Wars movies.....but he was an Ir.that's strange considering his affinity for the force, i figured he was a narturally born sith plan and simple......but i guess we'll just wait and see what Lucasarts does with this real sith empire.....hopefully they don't make them look like sh!t......by the way i meant Irodonian(i think that's how you spell it)......
