[@SuperHipsterGamer]

+phantumgrey Honestly while not conclusive, it's still a very good ending for the franchise.

[@phantumgrey]

Snobby Gamer I'll give you that it's a great ending to how Raziel and Kain change their fates, but it in no way wraps up Kain's true fate. What does he do now with the correct soul reaver blade? Does he kill the elder God? Who knew fate had to be changed so that Raziel could be well equipped at the right time to enter the blade so that Kain could truly be the scion of balance? I could go on for days.......

[@MetalHound91]

Neeeeeeeeeerds!!!!!!!

[@Jose-se9pu]

It did. Blood Omen 2 is kain dealing with the hylden lord.

[@phantumgrey]

Blood Omen 2 was what happened in the PAST after the timeline was shifted when Kain pulled the sword from Raziel. The event you're talking about happened to young Kain after Soul Reaver 2. Technically it is an event after Defiance, it is not the Elder Kain's ending. We are all looking for Kain's story to come to a completion.. His story stops after fighting the Elder God and he never filled his role as the scion of Balance, the pillars are still in ruin. Kain's story should end with him restoring to pillars which his death would have never done being that humans were too weak to sustain them.

Honestly same. When things get hard and seem impossible, watching two heroes in circumstances more dire than our own who know even a deity world against them actively, actively making moves and sacrifices without immediate payoff over the course of centuries before finally getting hope by end of game 5. Constantly being forced to pick between options 1 or 2, given ultimatums where neither benefit the chooser and the heroes demonstrate the necessary willpower to force a third outcome is inspiring. I do the same thing.

[@XavierStash]

PerfectHandVideos There is a game that is like a battle arena set in the legacy of kain universe called Nosgoth.

XaiverStash From what I have read which isn't much. That game doesn't tap too much into he story it does however show what some of the clans looked like before the fall of kains empire which is pretty interesting.

[@XavierStash]

***** It is interesting. My only complaint about Nosgoth is that it does not really have a story. The game does not even mention anything about the universe. If one is not familiar with Legacy of Kain, or Soul Reaver, they would just think it is just a random game about Vampires VS Humans. I would have liked it if the Devs would have tied a story into something. Leaves a Fan hungering for more lore.

2024, gotta return here every so often to re-experience peak story telling

[@cadeded]

Interestingly enough, each of the vampires in Kain's clan are named after Angels or people from the Bible or Kabbalah. There are some characters named from other mythologies as well. From Raziel to Turel. Characters such as Turel are named after the Angel Turiel. In these cases, the name in the game is also an accepted spelling of the Angel name. As it is, the Angels are as follows: Raziel: "Secret of God, The Keeper of Secrets, and Angel of Mysteries." Raziel is a major Angel in Jewish mysticism. Turel or Turiel: One of the Watchers from the Book of Enoch, a fallen Angel, his name translates to "Rock of God". He is one of the 20 leaders of 200 Angels. Melchiah: This is one of the examples where there are a lot of different spellings of the name. He was a high priest and a decendant of Aaron. Zephon: There are multiple stories with this name. There are two different Angel origins of this name. In the Canaanite religion he is identified with Jebel Aqra, the home of God, from which Yam (A Canaanite sea deity) was cast out. In the Kabbalistic "Treatise on the Left Emanation" by Isaac ha-Cohen of Soria, Zephon (called Tzephon) is one of the angels associated with the 6th sephira, Tiphereth. Rahab: In Jewish folklore, Rahab is a sea monster. Dumah: The Angel of Silence and of the stillness of death. Dumah is considered a "Thousand eye Angel of death armed with a flaming sword." Kain is likely named after Cain, the first murderer. Honorable mentions... Malek or Maalik: A guardian of Hell in Islamic mythology. Vorador: Vorador's name may come from the Spanish/Portugese word, “devorador”, which means “devourer”, “ravenous”, and “wolfish.” Ariel: Ariel is an Angel found within Jewish mysticism and the Christian Apocrypha. The name means: "Lion of God". This name is also found within the Book of Enoch. Many of the bosses in Blood Omen 2 are named after Shakespearean Characters. I find the naming of these characters fascinating as they are ANCIENT names in many ways and I think it is impressive.

[@PerfectHandProductions]

Excellent post! Thank you!

[@C0wb0yBebop]

[@Zeithri]

Well yes. Let's not forget originally Soul Reaver was meant to be the story of an Fallen Angel climbing it's way back up into Heaven to Confront God. They realized that, this would actually fit nicely in a dark twist in the Legacy of Kain setting, with Kain being God in this case, casting his greatest Lieutenant Raziel into the Lake of the Damned.

[@AR-mi9cv]

awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@MrKoalaburger]

I think with all the occultic mysticism the writers imposed on this story, they must have been strongly motivated by the mysticism of ancient religions as well. The book of Enoch itself is quite occult in its own right, unveiling mysteries surrounding the Abrahamic faiths unknown to most. The Canaanites' history only scarcely alluded to in Hebrew lore, who's secrets were buried in their being conquered. I'm a biblical studies major and I get the same "feeling" or allure toward unveiling the secrets of scripture as I get from untangling the secrets of the lore in this game. I suspect much the same for LoK's writers.

Legacy of Kain really came before its time, released at the moment where (probably) most of us were young had limited attention span, poor English comprehension and overshadowed by the peak of first-person shooters or hardcore RPGs.

[@malfeasance62]

it came out really right at the needed time. if it was to be released nowadays they probably wont even do that because the plot is to huge to cover by modern game design standarts and it's also probably too advanced for modern gamers as some of studies think of us, so it might be old & poor in terms of gameplay mechanic but this is exactly what made this game possible

[@Ohem1]

Probably true, yet I would've really wanted to see this franchise in at least the previous generation to give the titles fair attention by the gaming community. Maybe too impudent wish? Granted there is "Soul Revenant": A fan-made remake of the first Soul Reaver, however still on-going.

[@tagbon_]

+Ohem1 I think it came out at the right time. It came during an era where you only had board games, card games, or those computer games like pinball and minesweeper to play if you didn't use/have a console. This meant gamers were willing to dedicate themselves to a video game that wasn't going to just be over after a pedestrian 10 hours of gameplay. Today's gaming community accepts a garbage standard of just good graphics and nothing but online gameplay. You have the exceptional adventure game from time to time but even their dialogue isn't as dense as Legacy of Kain. The first game of the series I played was Soul Reaver back when I was 6 years old in 1999. I had to pause the game so I could grab a dictionary to understand some of the words they were saying. It was my first exposure to vocabulary beyond a classroom. Some damn good memories. I recently decided to buy Blood Omen about 2 years ago. I hesitated because even with my low standards for graphics, I thought those graphics would be too bad for me to accept. It ended up probably being the most fun I've ever had playing a game. My favorite game in the series by far and that is saying a lot for me because I was absolutely in love with Soul Reaver. Just cherish the memories my friend. Hopefully if my PS2 still works and I can find my PS1 somewhere in my garage, Ill have my kids play the whole series when I start a family.

[@malfeasance62]

Da Beast gamers is not the problem, people would still play games like this. Look at Dark Souls, Dota, CS & SC2 - even they take really much effort people still enjoy them. It's just that making a game with good graphics is much easier than making a good game overall so the studios dont even bother making one because of greed and just spam those assain creeds & whatever just to get more money.

[@Ohem1]

My emotional relationship with the games agree with you on most, with respect to your preferences I do consider Blood Omen 2 to be the worst game representing LoK. While I can respect the groundwork of Kain ascending into power it's manipulative use of language is lit up by its absence, uncanny semi-erotic character designs and yet explained events and circumstances to be heard. I find it appalling how the team responsible didn't absolve the whole nuance the series are known for but instead went the direction marketing accords. I still reserve the notion the series could've been more appreciated in later generation, but so did expenses in development. The creative freedom might not've been so arrested to cover mass appeal in the past as it is now, so in practice you might be right about that.

@@alfonsovallejo2665 I'd agree and state LoK does better doing the opposite of what dark souls does as with its story.

@@stevenmcelroy2646 I actually feel it somewhat appropriate that there was never a definitive conclusion as the game is such a mish-mash of intertwined storylines, I kind of FEEL that it is better to not have an ending as that would be too conclusive and goes against what the entire series stood for. It sure would have been nice to have a good conclusive ending but in a way - it fits the series to have none and to leave it up to each person's individual mind. In my personal head canon Kain destroys or at least permanently subdues the Elder God and restores the pillars to vampire guardianship.. but this ending would be way too "enlightened/just" to fit the story properly.

I have to seriously give the creators respect. They do not care even the slightest if a person jumps in at a random game and is utterly confused by the story. I adore that. It is one long beautifully crafted and told story that you have to enjoy from beginning to end to fully understand it. For any casual player that is a mortal sin. For me, it is absolute gold. One of the greatest stories told, with great voice acting, amazing aesthetics (save for Blood Omen 2 maybe) and pretty darn good game play. I want to know how Kain's story ends and I'm kind of glad that Dead Sun didn't happen since it deviated from this long story.

Ed Boon I agree. Completely ballsy to not cater to gamers who didn’t play the other games.

@Devin Carter No he wasn't in that blade yet, that all happened in the past before William the Just got it (also why that blade didn't absorb the souls of his Sarafan brothers when he killed them). Raziel was supposed to be absorbed into the blade at that point, some years later William would take it, he'd be visited by Kain from the future with the same sword, they fight and William's sword would break. Then a few years later Raziel would visit William's tomb and repair the blade, which young Kain would find in Abernus a few years after that, he'd keep it for a millennium until he broke it trying to strike down Raziel.

Kain viewed Vorador as some antique, egotistical blowhard. Which is ironic considering Kain became somewhat of an antique, egotistical blowhard. Even Raziel seemed to thought so when he said "spare me your metaphors, Kain." Or when he said "Very poetic, Kain."

[@thatguybehindtheglass]

[@Humaricslastcall]

The entire series is that one line Raziel aimed at Kain during soul reaver 2: "Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens... I don't think I have the stomach for it." Edit: As chaotic as it is, Raziel's right 99.9% of the time. Kain shows up and ether he's doing a monumental and terrible thing -on purpose or by complete accident- or _IS_ the monumental and terrible thing. He literally can't stop one-upping himself wherever he goes and that's why I love the series.
