So about Revan

To begin with, revan was a master with both the light and dark side of the force, and was also one of the strongest force users (he beat Darth Malak while malak was drawing on an immense amount of darkside energy from the star forge)

What part of the game tells you that he is a master of light side and dark side force powers? I think when the game characters quote about Revan they are basing their analysis in comparison to their other peers when they call him powerful. I know that Revan could utilize both sides of the force, which in the words of Kyle Katarn from the Jedi Knight series claims there is no dark side and light side to the force powers themselves but it is about how you choose to use them. I kind of thought of Revan as the strategic learning type as he would analysis the force powers themselves and learn about their strength and weaknesses to avoid leaving themselves vulnerable to it's uses and exploit an opportunity if it was used against him.

If you played the final boss fight with Malak, you were also able to take advantage of the captured Jedi that Malak imprisoned to drain their force energies. Choosing whether to use a light side power (regaining force points) or using a dark side power (which refilled your health) or just not at all. But I would assume to some extend that the canon ending had Revan do both in his duel with Malak so the were technically both utilizing the starforge during the duel and then Revan bested Malak with his lightsaber skills I guess.

And, the Jedi Exile's charisma, as stated by Kreia, mostly comes from the ability to easily make force bonds. And don't forget that the Jedi Exile was immensely powerful too, being able to beat three Sith Lords, two of them by herself.

I don't mean to say the Jedi Exile wasn't powerful, since they have the ability to drain the force energy of others. I do wish to point out that Nihilus was severely weakened by Visa's connection to Nihilus as well as Nihilus attempting to feast on Telo when there was barely any Jedi there. In addition to that Nihilus also attempted to try and feast on the Jedi exile but that failed since they also possessed the same ability.

SO revan had a kind of charisma the exile didn't have, and, also, revan beat vitiate, no easy feat.

I don't remember anywhere in SWTOR saying that Revan defeated Vitiate. I thought the Revan book established that Revan was defeated by Vitiate because of Scourge's betrayal.
