My favorite secret is the Human City in SR. Found it by accident, and ever since, I've been in love with post-apocalyptic settings, "after the end" of the world so to speak. When I did research online, I found there was supposed to be a quest involving the city with a vampire worshiping cult running the city, and Raziel killing to cult leader, but this was ultimately scrapped. I'm glad they kept the human city at least.

I spent a lot of time looking for hidden passages in the water tower. Little did I know I was onto something!

Here's a WEIRD thing that I only realized a few days ago: when you finish SR1 and continue over in SR2, Raziel chases Kain through the chronoplast, therefore you now basically have 1 older Raziel and 1 older Kain roaming around in a much earlier Nosgoth. Therefore, you'd think there's a chance of their younger versions coming in contact with their older counterparts. Raziel actually does, as towards the end of SR2 he faces his sarafan self and has a battle with him (ironically killing him, which is why he dies, which is why Kain later resurrects him as a vampire, so you go full-circle). However, Kain never manages to come across his younger self, nor you while playing as Raziel. Remember that all of Raziel's encounters with Kain throughout SR2 are between their older selves, the ones that went back in time from the SR1 era. I think it would've been so amazing to have old (wraith) Raziel cross paths with young Kain, who would not yet know who Raziel is. Or even older Kain with young Kain, with some intricate philosophical dialogue exchange...

Remember when you fight Moebius in BO1, he then does the 'enemies from the past/present/future' bit? Guess who appears from the future? That's right, a future Kain (under the same sprites as you, tinted black IIRC). Maybe if we got a sixth game we could see it from the future Kain's perspective.

I Iove games where you don't necessarily have to do things in a certain order or have all the power-ups to defeat the final boss. Silent Hill was like that too.

And the Pirate ship will also have a mini-boss where you’ll have to fight against the pirate captain.

(Maybe it was The Real Moebius (Of the time streamer) or Fangy? (Of the Dark angel colony) but I can't remember, it was over 20 years ago). The cartoons were a call back to a april fools on the lost worlds site (Ben Lincoln) , that they were going to make a GTA style LOK game. It's a pity that NR closed, there was a good community there. You don't really seem to get that as much on the internet anymore. Everyone was from all around the world, but we all knew each other.

One thing I’ve always wanted to know is if vampires have a choice in how they will look when they “enter the state of change”, or is their evolution caused by their living habits, or chosen by the life force that keeps Nosgoth together even when the Pillars are collapsed. The reason why I’ve wondered was because of that evolved crown branching out from Kain’s forehead that looks so similar to the Seer from Blood Omen 2. Could Kain’s crown be genetically gifted to him by the Seers blood that perhaps still runs through his veins?

I hadn't played beyond the first Soul Reaver but I recall the lore being to the effect that Kain (and subsequently his generals) would go into those metamorphosis trances and just assumed any changes to their forms were automatically better.

In an earlier video, you brought up how Mobius allowed his fellow Circle members to be slaughtered by Vorador. The theory you put forward was that maybe the slain members were planning to get rid of the Timestreamer, thus he got rid of them first. My take was a little different, to my knowledge there were no other human guardians after the Ancient Vampires were overthrown in the rebellion led by Mobius and Mortanius. Perhaps the other guardians were present as well. Mortanius eventually had a change of heart, perhaps Mobius saw that some of the others would as well and so he allowed them to be killed by Vorador. Janos Audron's murder not only rendered the Ancients extinct, but also triggered Vorador's revenge. Mobius would've seen that and banked on it. Raziel, due to his remaking, might've been hidden from Mobius' omniscience (the micro managing that the Timestreamer had invest in manipulating Raziel is evidence of that) but everyone else, including Kain, were pawns for Mobius to move about as he chose. The Timestreamer was master of the greatest lie of all: the truth. He simply put it out there and let others interpret, or misinterpret to their peril, as evidenced by manipulating Kain to kill Willaim the Just. Speaking of which, maybe just having an earlier version of the Reaver blade turned William into the Nemesis? It was originally a vampiric blade before raziel got stuck in it. The Nemesis seemed more interested in destroying than conquering. Methinks William's nemesissing around might be due to the sword's enchanting filling him with a taste for blood. But all this is just IMHO.

She never spoke English, so I just didn't have to mention it beforehand and said : "It's OK, I would have bought it anyway (I was a paperboy and could afford a game in 2 weeks roughly). The secret area is interesting, but the problem always was that exploration just gave you more items you already had in spades unless you chose to wander and not go straight for completion. It was far from perfect, but it remained very special for its art direction, voice acting and atmosphere. One of the coolest thing to do is to listen to every item description. This game was ahead of its time for voice acting. In Soul Reaver 2, you could unlock videos of the actors' work directly in the studio. Priceless for wannabe voice actors, check it out!

There are basically two distinct ways of pronouncing latin - classic (as the Romans most likely pronounced it according to reconstructive linguistics), and medieval, which is how people in the middle ages accepted latin should be read. The way most latin phrases are pronounced popularly is medieval latin, which is historically accurate for middle ages and therefore I think still fitting for Nosgoth and the character of Kain. I think a really cool use of classic latin was in Fallout: New Vegas, where Caesar's Legion larping as Romans insisted on using the historically correct ways to pronounce their words, while the rest didn't care.

That first one is interesting, since as it's pronounced in classical Latin would be "Why Wictis", but in Ecclesiastical Latin (Church Latin) it is as Kain pronounces it. This is because classical Latin does not have a "v/veeh" sound. It has the letter "v", but it takes the place of what we would see as "u" and "w" in English and other romance languages.

great video and amazing work as always! thanks for keeping interest in this series alive, i love this lore and world. learned a lot in this, and really enjoyed learning about Vorador's ring ending up as Kain's ear-ring, amazing detail you would only know if you recognized the shape.

Gosh I love your Legacy of Kain content, by the elder gods how I dream this series was available on modern consoles, nothing altered just modern control tweaks and a new game engine, I'll continue to keep dreaming, but for now I'll drink up any vids, theories and anything LOK related, Vae Victis indeed! that phrase is permanently etched in my mind, such an awesome phrase, I still remember when Raziel said 'That Bast*** can claim no alliance to me' and my young mind went 'oh edgy!' games now swear way too much and it's incredibly off putting, at least in LOK there's context to it, everything the series portrays there's context to all of it, games now just abuse the privilege, the branching LOK story is incredibly deep and will forever be one of the most influential and best stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, Tony Jay did a phenomenal job playing the role of the Elder God, even thinking on the story now I can't really think of any modern story that goes as deep as LOK, thankyou so much on this vid, have a great day

Bro I hope you don't stop making these videos I'm always looking forward to your next video And here's a thought if he can summon vorador with the ring how come he didn't do it before he got his head chopped off

My best friend in highschool introduced me to this game by lending it to me. I was hooked despite it being janky AF. Then he lent me soul reaver and that started the debate. Kane or Raziel? I was team Raziel, he was team Kain. While I admit blood omen was the better game, I liked raziels look and the fact that he alone has free will, something I value. Were no longer friends but at least I got this amazing series out of it.

This is similar to my connection with lok. Except we were in grade school, and now I'm a kain man all the way, after years playing the series

I had a step brother that introduced me as well. I was also team Raziel. But Kain was definitely cool. Same here, freedom must be fundamental; in Johannesburg or South Central.
