T Manry Good writers can always change the story around somehow. Instead of letting Kain impale him, Raziel could also use the physical reaver himself, as his wraith blade couldn't damage the squid. But replacing the elder god's voice is impossible. No one has ever had, or will ever have the voice of Jay. But good writers could easily rewrite this. Have Raziel get his revenge on the Elder God, and then you could start of the sequel from another point - to take down the Hylden.

Moebius has one of the most satisfying conclusions for a villain in all of video games, I think. Offed by BOTH protagonists, each in a way that he didn't and couldn't foresee, had the true nature of his servitude revealed to him with terrifying futility, and ultimately had both his life and very identity destroyed. Points 2 and 3 are especially poignant, given he was a character who arrogantly presumed to be one step ahead of the game when it came to everyone else; all the while, he never knew what he was serving or the terrible ramifications.

Speaks a lot about religion itself if you ask me. I've found with Legacy of Kain, when I played it through and through growing up as a child. It's made me who I am today, heavily philosophical, "thinky" and to quote dozens of people I've met "vocally eloquent". Primarily Kain's philosophies, reasoning and fragments of personality integrated into me over the past decade and half since I was old enough to understand the Legacy of Kain series growing up. Sometimes my national vocabulary comes out but most times I just talk as I did growing up which is similar to Kain or Raziel. I can't change it. We are who we're supposed to be. This game leaves impacts on people that won't easily be forgotten, sadly due to it's age it's easily overlooked, at their personal peril. If there's anybody who is looking for Blood Omen 1 as well by the way, yourself included Kelly, I do have a stable version of it from many moons ago.

@Lucifronz7 ай бұрын
@@ranzigerkaefer Well then you haven't been paying attention. Raziel is not self-serving like Kain. He is only blinded by anger and desire for vengeance in the first game, which is why the Elder God has such a hold on him in Soul Reaver, but he quickly loses trust in the Elder God as he becomes more aware of what is going on in the sequels. And his entire motivation for bringing back Janos is out of respect and a genuine desire to do good. He is a perfect mirror to Kain. He suffers the same corruption, and is malicious and horrible as a human and as a vampire, but becoming a wraith changes him for the better and he ultimately gives up on vengeance for vengeance's sake when he stops himself from stabbing Kain with the Soul Reaver (you know, that scene you conveniently forgot about which completely unravels your entire argument?) and plunges it into the tomb of William the Just instead. Frankly... I am _amazed_ that you could absorb so much of the plot and come to this dumbass conclusion. Raziel is quite possibly one of the few arguably "good" characters in the Legacy of Kain series to begin with. I can only assume you watched some of the first game's cutscenes (and not even all of them, because even in the first he feels genuine regret about killing one of his siblings), fell asleep partway through, and then woke up to this cutscene and then made your stupid fucking comment, because that is the only way to explain your _stupid. fucking. comment._

We only get Raziel's perspective which he thought Kain had him thrown into the Abyss out of jealousy and hatred when Kain threw him in there to change their destinies, why did he rip off his wings, so he couldn't, you know, fly away. You can see it even pained Kain to have Raziel thrown into the Abyss like that as not only was that his son but we all know how sadistic Kain can be and would have watched the whole thing or done it himself if he hated Raziel that much but he didn't, another way to tell Kain did it for both of them was when he was waiting for Raziel in the throne room of the Sanctuary along with purposefully shattering the blade so Raziel could have a part of his soul back to create the Wraith Blade, no one waits for 500 years on the off chance someone will arrive unless they knew exactly what was going to happen, besides, Kain knew Raziel wouldn't follow him and be able to uncover their destinies unless he had some motivation.

@@LinkaDL It's worse when you realize that Kain was more prepared to give up his life than his favorite son's. Ultimately, while Kain was losing his mind due to the corruption of the pillars, he wasn't as detatched from his sons as he pretended he was. Like when he warned Rahab that Raziel would kill him, it makes you realize that Kain was giving Rahab a chance out of his fate. Even though he knew Rahab would have to die for the prophecy, he still gave him a chance to forsake Kain's vision and flee. Of course, Rahab stays, not even knowing Kain's true purpose, but still loyal to his father after everything. I love the way Legacy of Kain begins Kain as a desperate man out for revenge, thrust into a choice of ultimate self-sacrifice, then Soul Reaver makes you think he was a bastard and chose not to sacrifice himself out of selfishness. But truly, as the games go on, everything Kain has ever done in his life is redrawn with new information about his motives. Every look, every speech he gives, it's all completely different when you realize Kain's ultimate desire was to at least save one of his sons and die for the greater good of Nosgoth. And now twisted and Ironic it is that even then, when Kain thought he was ready to give the ultimate sacrifice, he had to give up the one thing he cared for more than his own life: His firstborn son. His lieutenant. His Soul Reaver.

@@aprinceofearthsea4875 Kain is my fav just for what you say. I started playing SR and I thought that he was the bad guy at first, then played BO and it changed a lot my perspective about him. He may be egoistic but he screwed everything with the death of William because he wanted to stop the Nemesis and save Nosgoth. He could had follow Vorador´s words and do nothing but he tried to help risking his life in the process. And by that action his race was purged and the one that could act as mentor was killed something that probably was painful for him because he kept Vorador´s ring with him and use it as earring. Then in BO2 even if it´s a alternative reality he loses Umah and some friends being hurt and left alone again. And there we have SR that as you say, he had to lose all his sons. The last scene in Defiance is so heartbreaking, you can notice his pain and desesperation. For someone like him who hides his emotions and looks "heartless" to break in that way means that he was under huge pain.

The Kain of that time already knew what would happen to Raziel once he was cast into the Abyss, it was a necessary step for Raziel to attain free will, which is the only weapon they can use against fate. Ultimately, it was free will which allowed Raziel to make his own sacrifice and fulfill the prophecy of the Vampire and Hylden Champions: the two murals of one champion destroying the other did not mean Raziel would choose his side as Vorador had imagined, rather it was symbolic of Raziel's self inflicted destruction by the Reaver blade.

Kain was originally intended to be killed by Raziel at the end of Soul Reaver, and the vampires wiped out. Making the Elder God technically a good guy. So the fact he looked away when Raziel was killed probably can't be interpreted this way, rather it was Kain taking the steps he knew were needed, and this developed into the story we eventually got when Soul Reaver had to be scaled back. I'm quite happy that they had to change the story to be honest, what we got was so much richer than just Kain = bad go kill him.

Whether he unknowingly lamented on the irony of the sword becoming "Soul Reaver" or being himself a "Soul Reaver" in the future.

When I first learned that Raziel would ultimately give in to his fate and allow himself to become bound within the reaver, I was disappointed. The thought that he would doom himself to eventually become the mindless, ravenous entity within the sword was a sad turn, to say the least, but then something occurred to me. That’s how it went in the original timeline, but things have shifted a great deal from how they went before. In the original timeline, Raziel was pulled into the reaver against his will, after having slaughtered his own past brothers and self, but in this new timeline he entered willingly, and after purifying Kain’s soul, no less. Maybe, just maybe, he would be able to find a sort of peace in his new existence, having entrusted the fate of Nosgoth to the hands of a man he had come to believe in, in spite of all his flaws. Maybe I’m thinking too wishfully, maybe not. To bad we may never know the truth.
