Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy have much in common. Their both made by the same people, and both are space opera's with a main hero, and a team of companions on a quest to save the Galaxy from a great evil. But what would happen if these heroes, and their teams faced eachother?

This battle would be hard to do, since these heroes abilities, weapons, feats, and choices are all picked by the player. Revan would be somewhat easier since Lucasfilm, in order to allow him into TOR, eatablished that Revan is male, and went through a light side playthrough. Shepard's story is more lose, with no set in stone playthrough in the game lore. So for both, DB should either do playthroughs of their own and use the canon feats of Revan and his team, and whatever abilities and weapons they chose, against whatever story, abilities, and weapons they pick for Shepard and his/her team. Or hold a contest where fans send playthroughs of the game, and the community votes.

Another challenge is choosing Shepard's team. Revan has 9 companions, while Shepards team changes with each game and is never the same number. In 1, Shepard has 6 companions, in 2, 12 companions, and in 3, 7 companions. In order for it to be a fair fight, Shepard will also need 9 companions. Since Garrus and Tali remain companions remain companions in all 3 games, they should both be present(assuming they both survive the Suicide Mission in the playthrough DB uses), the rest should be voted in or picked by DB.

As for my personal edge. I'm going with Shepard. True, Revan, Bastilla, and Jolee are Jedi, but look at the enemies these two characters face. The Sith are a warmongering Empire who enslave and oppress, and want to rule the galaxy. But the Reapers and their servants are Eldritch Abonimations who possess people, control minds, and want to wipe out all life. In hindsight, Mass Effect mas far stronger enemies than Knights of the Old Republic, and if Shepard can defeat the Reapers, he/she can defeat Revan.

Bonus points if the Shepard they use is female, and during the battle, she and Bastila comment on how similar their voices are, considering they both have the same voice actress, Jennifer Hale.
