On Malachor V the Exile created a wound in the force by resisting the will of the force that dictated he/she should turn to the dark side for what he/she had done in the Mandalorian Wars. Well, in short, Nihilus *is* the Exile, or rather a part of the Exile. Of course, the more realistic idea would probably be that the writers simply didn't think that that little confrontation with the specter of Revan was enough to warrant any significant choice on the player's part, or that they decided it was important enough to the more linear side of the Exile's character development to not allow the player to interfere, or that they actually intended for it to come across as more ominous somehow than simply a confrontation with the Exile's past and so they didn't give the player any other ways of getting through the event. I don't know.I'll think more about that sort of thing.

It could simply be that he was 'always destined' to reject the Force in that manner, to become a living void within the Force, and so it was never within him to accept or embrace the insidious power of Malachor V because that wasn't what he was 'meant' to do. Remember, his subconscious - and symbolic - rejection of following Revan into the Dark Side of the Force was actually a part of what drove him to reject the Force itself altogether. I wouldn't say the impossibility of the Exile's choice going any other way was because he wasn't 'dark' enough, though. Revan wielding two lightsabers, red and blue, can mean that he changed his alignment several times, as well as the ambiguous ending of KOTOR I.

I don't know how to explain this - maybe Exile was not dark enough. It was simply impossible for him to stay with Revan on the Dark Side and follow his and his followers' downfall. Why do you have to fight Revan? I believe that since the visions are a chance for you to relive your choices and see if you would do different things than you actually did, the absence of other options signifies that Exile didn't have a choice. There are two things that are worth mentioning. By fighting Revan, you confirm your unwillingness to continue that path. By doing so, he renounced Revan, and this is why the Dark Exile vision disappears: Exile stepped away from Revan's path to the Dark Side. I think it symbolizes the choice Exile made when he decided to return to the Council and accept his punishment. By fighting Kreia or your other followers, you distance yourself from them - this is the way for you to admit that what they were doing, or willing to do, was wrong. In the third vision, we see another 'imaginary' fight. But you never really fought Malak, nor will you be able to do so, as he's already dead.

So, when you refuse to join Malak and fight him, it's symbolizing that you're fighting your past - you do not accept it any more. In the first vision, when you tell Malak that Bastila didn't join him, he replies that she didn't join him at that time, but was mentally with them, sort of.

But why fight Revan, and why does Exile's dark-side self appear and disappear? I think other visions give the answer. The vision with Revan was a part of the past, the Mandalorian Wars. Seriously though, I agree with GhostofAnakin and 's interpretation. As well as his whole party, Revan, Malak, Bastila and the Mandalorians - we saw that on Korriban %). Visas was also a product of Exile's imagination.
