The background is SO detailed! You must have very strong, iron nerves to draw it all in watercolor. Composition, light, shadows... everything is absolutely beautiful. And Kain's expression is so lovely 8D

He has like another Personality in every game
in the first just Arrogant, but curious and easy to manipulate
in Soul Reaver, a heartless Bastard
in SR2 like a wise king in Exile who likes to talk
in Blood Omen 2....I would say like a rebellious Teenager XD
and in Defiance....kinda like an aggressive, kinda braindead thug...

Oh yeah you say it
I think from all the SR1 game is closest to Kains Original Character, seeing himself as the new King of Nosgoth, giving a damn about the lands and the humans faith.
What annoys me the most is that the "Legacy of Kain" Series is more a "Legacy of Raziel" Series, since SR1-2 and Defiance focus more on Raziel then Kain and Kain feels more like a Sidecharacter in Defiance who we are allowed to Play in way shorter Sequences than Raziel
Also Kain doesn't find or Learn anything new and this whole Sacrifice Shit at the end with raziel wasn't really interessting
And this whole Talking about a third option for Nosgoth looked abit like Kain was Afraid to die for Nosgoth, while the young Kain never seemed to fear death and had this "Why should I die for others" Attitude while the old Green Kain was more like "I don't wanna die because I'm Scared" he is running away from Problems and his faith, but always talks like he has a plan, but it never feels like he has.
AND what makes it even worse, I played the german Versions of all the games, all on my Play Station2 and while in the english version Kain and Raziel always have the same voice, in the German Version Raziel had two different voices and Kain had THREE Different voice Actors. And the one in Blood omen 2 was the best one, that voice really fit his Character ^^And he looked the best

Yeah they really washed down Kains Character completely
I mean if they just changed his look but kept up with his personality, I guess I Maybe could live with that, since all vampires in the Legacy of Raziel Era turned into some sort of Monsters...wonder what Kain would have become....
the two Blood omen Games are the ones, with his right personallity and thats also something I miss highly in Raziel. He has no real personallity, He follows and believes blindly one Idol and then the Next, He thinks in Black and white. I mean he once saw the vampires as the best and highest Race, Turning into a Soul Eater, he looked up at the Sarafans, They turned out to be Assholes, so he looked up to the ancient Vampires and FINALLY at the End of Defiance he realised, A bit late, that his way of Thinking and Fangirling was Bullshit
Even Green Kain realised such stuff faster, but he never idolized anyone, but himself
I guess the only slight sign that Vampires hold together, at least against the humans was the moment Vorador gave young Kain this ring, so he could call him for help.
But Vorador is also such a character who I think was written worse and worse through out the series. I have the feeling he gets dumber and dumber, same with Janos which is Sad, I kinda liked him in Soul reaver 2, because there he didn't sounded like such a God Fanatic old Idiot....
And Kain did stuff in the Blood omen Games only for others, because he wanted something from them. he killed the guardians, because Ariel promised him something. He helped Otmar to bring his daughter back, only because he wanted his Army and in Blood omen 2 He did all that ONLY because he wanted his sword and his land back so he can Rule it again. He never did things when there was no reward for him and thats what I miss in SR and Defiance..all he wants there is to Raziel play after his rules so he doesn't have to die.
And that whole time Travel shit and that Stuff with the two Soul reavers was bullshit as well. I mean its said that they both, Kain and William used the soul Reaver at the same time from different Time periods, but I only see how that could create the hunt for Vampires and not that whole paradox stuff
And mostly, what if Kain didn't used the soul reaver? I never used the Reaver in Blood Omen 1. It was too slow and took my Mana way too fast, so I prefered the flame Sword and killed william with that. So there can't be a paradoxon there.
The whole Storyline in the Soul reaver Games is pointless and only an Excuse to mark green Kain as the bad guy and Raziel as the innocent. And I think the names are also trying to show that. Raziel and Kain are both biblical names. Kain was the evil one, who killed his brother and was the first murderer on earth while Raziel is the name of one of gods closest Archangels. So again, Raziel = Good. Kain = Bad.
and last but not least: I have NO IDEA why Kain would even Need Raziel and his brothers and why he would create them as his Sons and not simply his servants, to have better controll over them-,-

Yeah I often heard the "Getting Older" excuse for the Change in Kains Behavior. But nobody, even with old Age(and he had enough years to age) turns so much 180 that he acts like a completely different person. I understand the change from BO1 to BO2 since Kain grew more confident and Comfy with his new Life as a vampire, while in BO1 he was still not too sure, what he should think about all that, at least thats what I always felt when he was talking. The only thing I kinda Dislike in Blood omen 1 is when Kain reaches his old Hometown and finds it destroyed and killed by the black Plague(at least the german Version says its the black Plague) and Kain doesn't seem to care and just seem to think: "Well shit happens"
A little bit more character developement would have been nice there, because, why letting him say that this is his hometown, when he doesn't even care that the whole city is dead now and nobody he knew is alive anymore or woud wait for his return.
Yeah I think they misunderstood it what Kain said about Vorador. Just because you live in luxury as a vampire with what? 100 Maids that "Serve" you and you drink hundrets of humans Empty will not turn you into a green Vampiric Monsterlike Creature
I guess that Vorador is so different to the more human Looking Vampires is, because one of the ancient ones turned him into a vampire. Maybe that Effects the Look.
The Name Kain was also used in the pen &Paper roleplay game Vampire the Mascerade. There Kain is the ancient Vampire, kissed and turned by Lilith, who he then betrayed, killed and drank all of her Blood. He was already immortal since that was part of Gods punishment for him. So I guess that could be the inspiration for our BO Kain. Just an Idea.
The idea to play villians or more Anti-Heros, which Kain was in his first Game was not so unpopular and raised in the late 90s. We also had the "Thief" game Series, where you play the Thief Garrett, who is also kinda like Kain in the first game, he doesn't wanna do good, unless he gets paid and like Kain he saves his hometown or in Kains Case his homeland, if we choose to sacrifice him.
And I also heard that Girls mostly play the LoK series, and I guess its mostly because of Raziel but I started with BO2, because I thought the coverart was Awesome^^ I played the games in the completely wrong order, Starting with BO2, then Defiance, SR2 then BO1 and then SR1. But even in right order some parts make no sense at all. You have some Plotholes big enough to drive a truck through...and all that Time Travel Raziel did to Change things or Find out stuff was not really helpful at all.
Raziel also had a really bad Temper, mostly in Defiance. But all the ways he went, he wanted answers and Kain gave him the answers he wanted and all he had to say is that Kain was lying and he wouldn't trust him. Well then why Asking HIM for Answers?!!? Raziels Action makes no Sense
Okay Kain did some Stupid Stuff as well, but he was never that Naive in his two games.
And what Also confuses me is the whole talking about that Raziel is the Soul of the Soul Reaver. I mean HOW is that Possible?! Since when is there a Soul inside a Sword?!!? and WHY is he not in that Sword the whole time? and Mostly, when did this Idea came up?
BO1 Simply said that the Soul reaver was a strong powerful weapon that feeds on Souls to gain his full power. In Kains hands (not in Defiance) the Soul reaver is a strong powerful weapon that can Destroy everything (in defiance it is as usefull and Sharp as a sledgehammer the way Green Kain swirls it around)and in the Soul reaver Games the Reaver is the last Weapon I wanna use since it acts like a parasite and not like an ultimate Weapon.
I must admit since BO1 I have Respect for Malek. I think he was kinda cool and maybe its because I like knights and mostly Armor, but he was an interessting Boss and the explanation in SR2 why he was to late to save the Circle was Stupid! Why cursing him for failing to protect the Circle When Möbius wanted him to be away?
Also pinning the "Bad Asshole" sticker from Kain to Möbius was also a rather lame try to make Kain not longer the ultimate Evil of the Series. in SR1 he was kind of the Endboss of the Game but after that, he was nothing more than a side character that sometimes appear, hold a long speech and leaves again, He has no purpose in SR2 other then Tell storys which is not necessary since Raziels doesn't believe anything he says...And also there a big point again why Raziel is a pussy. He had TWO Chances to kill kain. Once at the Pillars the other time at Williams Grave and both times he couldn't do it. PUSSY!!
Also his whole talking to "Save Nosgoth by killing Kain" is Bullshit. I don't see how killing Kains Future Self would change the land, when he kills him in the wrong time persiod. Lets say at the start of SR2 where they met at the Pillars. It was the Moment of Kains Birth. If Raziel had killed the old Kain there, the young Kain would still be alive and since Raziel did it via Timetravel at his Moment of Birth it would be useless to kill him there and they would be kinda trapped in an Endless Timeloop to do it over and over and over again without any results at all, because Kain existed two times in that Timeperiod.
I guess the only way Raziel could do it right would be to be at the Time where Ariel gives Kain the choice to save the land or refuse to do. At that Moment Raziel had to be there to kill him to end this Circle and Maybe Save NOsgoth but would kill himself with that Action as well, because he wouldn't Exist without Kain. Its all very confusing.
And this Waiting that the Prophecy works his Magic is the whole Problem with the series in SR1-2 and Defiance. All Characters believe too much in an Ancient prophecy to see the real Choices they have and what they could do. they say only Raziel can Choose and they all believe it blindly and so nobody actually changes everything.
Kain Never gave two fucks about something like Prophecy or Faith, he wanted to build his own Faith, his own Ways to go and mostly for him changing all that and mostly believing Möbius was the biggest Mistake they made with his character. He turns from Strong and hotheaded to a naive Idiot who you have to spoonfeed everything and he takes it all without questioning it and his arrogance made him still believe he finds out all that stuff by himself, while in Reality Möbius was holding his hand/claw and guied him through-,-

The Getting old and wise trick is really cheap. I would say it would Maybe work if Kain were a normal Man and not a Vampire. As a human he would face Death one day and had to go or he would reflect on his past and all the things he would like to change if he had the Chance. As a Vampire that doesn't count. Aging is Relevant and what Exactly is "Old Age" for a Vampire? I mean from Raziels Point of view kain is Old, Vorador is old in Kains Eyes and Janos is old in Voradors Eyes, and Maybe Janos would be the youngest one of his Vampire kind and the Hylden are even older, so what is Age for Immortal Creatures? I guess it is nothing
I played the second witcher Game and yeah Geralt and Kain can be Similar sometimes but the biggest different is that Geralt is a male Whore and Kain....I would say he is a virgin XD or simply not interessted or Umas Big tits would have impressed him more
Umah is also such a Character where I wonder, where she came from. I mean I know she is Voradors "Daughter" so to say, he turned her into a Vampire I guess but it was unsure if there was something between her and Kain. Mostly when you play BO2 for the first Time and you are not familiar with his personality. Sometimes it seems he didn't cared and other times it kinda looked like he would like her and I must say, a friend of mine was really Shocked as Kain killed her...while I was happy that this Bitch was finally gone.
The things I liked about SR1 was how good I later, after playing BO1, could recognize a few Places you already visited with kain in his Journey. and that it felt like a tomb Raider Game was because the developer for Tomb Raider also worked on Soul Reaver1. In one Tomb Raider game you can find that Picture of Kain, you can see in Defiance at his grave with Raziel. so the games are Kinda connected that way.
And yeah all LoK games got cut to be shorter. In SR1 you had to go back to Zephons Place to activate the sounding pipes to kill all Vampires after Raziel got the "Ariel-Reaver" and defeated kain. You were also able to reach Turel in the original game, he was supposed to be in Dark Eden. also a few chambers in BO2 for that Prison where cut out and also Defiance got cut a bit, which is a shame, since the game is already so short. I can finish Defiance in one Afternoon, thats no big deal.
And Raziel wanting to kill green Kain for the Goods of the World was Stupid, I think Green said it right by asking whos Wish that would be, the one of Raziel or Moebius.
and the Heart of Darkness,....That was bullshit. WHY was it in Kain!? and Even if it was in Kain, how did Mortanius got it? Was he the one sending Sarafan Raziel and his brothers out to get it? And why would he need it when he was a necromancer.
and that Green Kain can live without a heart is not that big of a deal for me, I mean, Vampires are undead, I don't think they really need that blood pump inside of them and I truely believe, they just did that because one of the Developers wanted to make a stupid "I'm Heartless" joke with Kain. That Line was so cringy-,-
I think the only reason somebody would use the Soul Reaver in BO1 was to fight these Demons in Avernus better, because they could be really tough, but other than that, the reaver was an owerpowered but still kinda useless Weapon in BO1, since it was a claymore, it was slow, Heavy and in the time swings it around an Enemy could easily get closer and hit Kain, stopping his attack and you can retry to swing it
Also in the german Version the Soul reaver was called a "Soul Eater" in german "Seelenfresser" and the only real connection it has to the ancient Vampire is that they Made the sword, or Ordered Vorador to make it, which also doesn't make that much sense. Was it importand that Vorador made it? I don't think so OR he made it because, maybe he was a blacksmith as he was still alive and so he was the best choice for making a sword.
The only thing I like about the Soul reaver are its Name and also its design. I like such old, dangerous looking Blades and it looks like a ritual Dagger just as a claymore, which I guess was the idea for it in the first place
but green Kain should really sharpen it, he really is more Slapping than cutting with it. I mean he is BEATING the enemies to death with that Sword and is only able to pierce them with it. Thinking back what the reaver in BO1 Did with humans, the Sarafans in Defiance would be minced meat after that Epilespy attack from Green Kain.
And the Free will Story of Raziel is bullshit. They say, he has a free will because he was reborn as a different Creature, but wasn't Kain Reborn as a vampire too? And as you said, what is a free will if you can't do things on your own. Raziel follows Hints from everyone, but not Green Kain who is the only one, who has at least a bit better Ideas than the others. And most of all, I hate Raziels tamper tantrum in the cathedral in Avernus. while Green Kain at least TRIED to talk some sense into Raziel, the blue idiot just turns Kains words around, the way he wants it.
But this fight had one good aspect to it: You get finally the Chance to smack a green and a blue bitch!! XD

Well I guess if w they would make the BO games today, Voradors Ladies would wear less clothes and wouldn't attack Kain right away, but rather try to seduce him and only attack if he wouldn't play along with them. and also he was a noble man as a human. Not of a high stand but still a noble, I guess he had his fair share with women, who were interessted in a better life than being the wife of a farmer or a shop owner. but seeing that he was at the end of his 20s and all alone by himself I think tells us, that he was single. Sure he wouldn't take a wife, if he had one with him on his journey, but I guess he would Mention her or look for her in his hometown.
I guess with Geralt we can say that he is a mercenary. if the payment is good, he will do the dirtywork. Be unable to pay and he will leave. Kain is less like a mercenary, since he has a goal and, mostly in BO2 only Uses the Cabal as a chance to get to his goal faster. Even though he allows Vorador and also Umah to slow himself down, or he would have rushed directly into the Sarafan Stronghold only to get his ass kicked
I think Umah really trusted Vorador and respected him. I got the feeling that she wanted to kill the sarafan Lord to make him proud, to proof herself to be a strong warrior and that Nosgoth and mostly the vampires are Free. she was not interessted in replacing one Tyrant with another and she believed Kain would be a tyrant as well, I guess thats why she left him alone at the harbor and stole the Nexus Stone
that She and Kain would have a few...Hot Hours, I could believe but not that they would ever end as a couple. Kain doesn't seem to be the guy for Romantic Stuff, even though I think a vampire-Date would end very bloody and very Painfull for a few poor Souls on Meridians Streets XD
Yeah Kain let her die and seemed kinda "Amused" nearly by it, calling her brave, strocking over her hair while she sat there on the floor in her own blood before finishing her off. I guess that Queen thing was just there to make Umah in her last Seconds of life what she could have had if she hadn't stole the Nexus stone from him, I don't really believe the really thought on making her his queen, just a last "Stab to the heart" so to say for her, before Umah cried his name and Died
I also wonder where that Painting of Kain came from all of the sudden, I mean it wasn't there in BO1 and it doesn't seemed like the people who buried him there knew who he was and since his Hometown was killed off by the plague, no relatives of him could be informed and let the painting he send to his grave. Also what is that Emblem all of the sudden doing there and what had happened with Kains grave all together?! Who build all that Security stuff there so nobody could get in?! It was defenetly not to keep Kain inside, it was build to not let people enter, since you can only open the Graves Doors from the inside...
I think the best thing about Defiance are the voice acting and the Graphics. It looks pretty good for a game from the early 2000s I think and the voiceactors do a really really great Job there, but thats all I can say....oh and the Tube-code was also pretty funny^^ You can turn Green Kains Soulreaver into a cardboard role XD That looks funny and you can turn him and Raziel into chibis where green Kain looks like a chibi or kinda plushtoy version of the BO2 Kain.
Yeah I have my problems with claymores in other games and BO1 showed really good how hard they are to handle, mostly for a guy like kain who is rather Slim. to swing a claymore right you have to have a save stand on the ground and use nearly your whole upper Body to get enough strength into the swing to make it effective, as Seen in BO1 where Kain nearly turns 180 to swing that giant thing of a sword like in Defiance....it looks more like he swings a normal sword, but comparing his body build with the young Kain, he has a bit more strength in his arms to handle a claymore better.
And even though Defiance is a weak Game I think its still better with Gameplay than Soul Reaver 2!! This game....I kinda hate itso little options to save, so many places where nothing happens, a bad fighting System, not skipable Cutscenes a whiny BITCH as a Protagonist, it was a pain in the ass to play that but I had to, I payed nearly 20€ on it, so I had to do it,
and this "Boss fights" at the end are a real downer. I mean the Sarafan versions of Raziel and his brothers take so many hits, but it doesn't matter because our BB (Blue Bitch) can't die....What a lame bossfight that was...-,-

Well Kain was noble Enough to own a red and White Armor similar to the knights of Otmars. Maybe he owned the full armor Set, but maybe sold or Trade a few pieces, like the Helmet or the Shield , what Also made it easier for him to travel
And I guess, when he is away from his home for so long, he had to do mercenary jobs to get Money and I think in the smaller villages the people didn't seem to see the difference between Warrior and a high noble Knight. They saw the white Armor and guessed that he was somebody important. Plus, some Ladies like guys in Armor^^
Well the Cabal and also Kain both had something from working together and Vorador also said it that they are just so "friendly" with Kain, because the situation is so bad for them and Kain is someone who can walk through the city without being noticed or Recognized at the first glance. And I still wonder, why the humans in meridian are just alert, after you KILL someone. I mean, even when they wouldn't believe in Vampires, some Humans act strangely friendly. I mean there is this Guy, with No shirt on on a cold night, having silver Hair, grey skin, dark Shadows around his eyes and long Claws instead of Fingernails and they aren't Alert or at least a bit scared by that? They only get scared when you point your weapon on them or attack them....Meridian Humans are strange
Also the Sarafans of that Time are Strange. Why does Nobody Wonder that Lord Sarafans Eyes and head glow green? That he is Alive for OVER 200 Years? and whats the point of these weird bombs that only kill the one who switches the Lever on it
I guess Umah was kinda Special for Vorador and the cabal itself. She could Teleport which was something Vorador couldn't, he needed Janos's Help for it, she was rather Strong, I mean we saw all the dead Sarafans she killed before Kain got to her at the harbor and she was respecting the old Vampire, so I guess he let his guard down at her a lot and trustet her completely.
Oh yeah the seer....mostly interessting because nobody seem to know WHAT she is. She kinda looks like a cross between Hylden and Vampire.
That Mausleum Artpiece of Kain rather looks like Fanart than anything else-,-
And yeah in BO1 it was kinda the Training stage, the tutorial-level Area so we can learn the basics with Kain, where I sometimes returned to, just to see if I could find new Stuff with new Powers. I played BO1 for over 70 Hours at one gamefile and I'm still not sure I found everything there. Thats the beauty of that Game, Exploring, finding hidden Treasures and even if its just one Heart of Darkness, it was something new I could find, Even SR1 still had this where you can Return to other parts of Nosgoth to find new Stuff or new Glyphs and in the rest you just have one path to follow. But in BO2 it was still fun to play, it was a good game, a bit trashy, like an action/Horror B-Movie but it was fun XD
The thing I was so annoyed mostly about Defiance was the way Raziel got all the elements for the Reaver. in SR2 it was at least creative and no Dungeon felt the same, all had unique puzzles to solve to get a new power for the sword but in Defiance its all the same-,-
mostly Annoyed me the part for the Water-Reaver. Yet another of these Lame "dungeons" just because Raziel lit too many torches-,-
What I also don't like is that all of the Sudden Kain and Also Raziel seemed to be too DUMB to fight without the fucking reaver! In BO1 Kain also had to fight with his Sword but there he had multiple weapons. in BO2,SR1+2 you could use your Natual Weapons, your Claws, which I found way more Satisfying in BO2 than swords or axes, even thoough I like the big Swords(?) Cleavers from these Sarafan Knights with the extra big shoulderpads XD also you needed a tactic. Simply smashing buttons mostly lead to Kains/Raziels Death, you needed to understand the movements of your Enemy a bit to defeat him and thats all gone in Defiance, you just smash the button hard and fast enough and you are fine. I kinda like the idea there that Raziel can Rip out Souls from the bodies to eat them, I like that but Kain nibbling on a Sarafans Neck to get blood was looking stupid. He never needed to do that to drink, so why is he doing it in defiance. And sometimes the Sarafans sounds more aroused than in Pain which was disturbing....
I once did it in SR2 at the end, that I smashed the attack buttons on my PS2 Controller with my feet while playing pokemon on my Gameboy at the same time.
And it worked fine. When you can't die, its no challenge, when its no challenge its Pointless. When it is Pointless it is Pointless and not worth my time
And yes, these Cutscenes....You couldn't skip in BO2 as well, but at least they never talked that long!!
The cutscene at the begining is over 10 Minutes long, before you can finally start that game!!
but there is one good part about these cutscenes: In that time you can go to the toilet, make a fresh cup of Coffee or Tea, whatever you prefer and then get back to the game.

OR Maybe Kain just didn't like sitting around, reading books or such stuff Nobles do. He was more the Adventure Type guy or it had something to do with his Faith to be the guardian of a pillar that Made him restless at home and he wanted to know why he is so restless.
Or Maybe the people didn't ran from Kain at the beginning because, its too dark. I mean, the game plays mostly at night and sure we can see everything clear as day but in reality the streets must have been night-Dark, so maybe they couldn't see him clearly.
and yeah even in your Mist-Form you can't trick the glyph guards but only because the Armor starts to glow when a vampire is nearby.
I think Umah was kinda interessting but could also be rather annoying. I guess she couldn't handle it well that Kain grew stronger than her after a while, because at the first Level, she was his mentor, kinda. She told him what to do, she gave him a little training, she watched over him and all of the Sudden she needed HIS help and I guess she didn't like that at all.
Her Ego seemed to be as big as his.
I kinda liked the Gameplay in SR1, sure the Enemies could be a bit annoying but I like the Idea that simple button Mashin wasn't enough to defeat them, it was something new.
I guess all that Areas are there to show some sort of connection to the first Game and nothing else.
since I never played a tomb Raider game SR2 Felt new for me. BUT the opening Scene was a bit confusing for me, since I played SR1 Later and so I had no idea what Kain and Raziel were Talking about XD
Yeah Kain is a sadistic and bloodthirsty Character. And bloodthirsty in more than one way
his way of Drinking is really cool and his glowing eyes really show his vampiric Nature even better. The only person he touched while drinking was the Seer, since he didn't wanted to hurt or kill her.
but it is really necessary to drink out everything that has blood in it, because only that way his Healthbar gets longer, so the game kinda forces you to kill everything that moves
And he is brave to drink blood from Spiders, but a little nit-pick here, Spider blood is NOT red, its Pale Blue^^

Well if you wanna play: "Kain sits at home all day" play Sims and make a character that looks like him and watch him gett fat from Fast food and no movement XD Can Vampires get fat from too much blood.....But I guess not, because if they could get Fat, Kain would roll to the Hylden City and would roll over the Sarafan Lord to kill him XD
Also, in BO2 for PS2 was a trailer to Soul Reaver 2 and I was really really SHOCKED as I realised, that green guy is suppost to be Kain...
And know I kinda know that the Green Kain reminds me of. He looks like a cross between the BO2 Kain and a "Hunter" from the Resident Evil Franchise i.pinimg.com/originals/b8/fc/e…
SR2 was disapointing for me, mostly because it was so boring. You always run around the same Floors, the same places over and over again, at least in SR1 you had different places and different Tasks to do, like climbing around, swimming around but in SR2 you really only need to swim a few times and climbing just because the people in that Area seem to have no idea what a ladder is-
I don't really like Resident evil 2 as well. I really struggled to get through that game, not because it was difficult, but because it was so BORING!!! And the fact that you couldn't save so often was annoying as HELL!!
I mean we had this Save-Stones in BO1 too, but there, you found way more!! At least two or three in every dungeon, mostly at the beginning, in the middle and at the end and all over Nosgoth as well, while in SR2 you have only FIVE Save Stones!
And what I hated the MOST of the entire Game, was reaching Janos Audron's Balcony
it took me DAYS to get up there, I needed a friend to helo me how to get there, I hated it
I must say, Vampire were always my Favorite kind of Fantasy Creatures.
Ever since I saw Dracula, the old one with Bela Lugosi as I was a kid, I was more or less in Love with these Creatures
But I prefer the more "Evil" version of Vampires not as much as the Romantic or Even erotic versions you see in older Vampire Movies. More like, Dracula from the Castlevania Games, or Alucard from the Hellsing anime and as I found BO2 it was "Love" at first sight. The evil looking Kain on the Cover, the Title "Blood Omen" and of course the Text on the backside of the Game that says that Kain is "one of the most Evil Characters ever appear in a Videogame." So it was a must Have for me^^
I guess Kains drinking Method is, kinda, a way to humiliate the victim even more
In BO2 the victim lays on the Floor, I guess not completely dead by that point....just when you cut of the head or rip the heart out, then it is Dead XD And Kain is Standing above his victim, not touching it, not letting it die with some dignity, just like cattle, he just sees it as food, not like a living creature anymore. but Maybe I read too much into it XD

Well you could do strange things in Sims, you can get your Males Pregnant after you let them be kidnapped by Aliens, build Plants that are half Plant, half Animal, or simply turn your whole family into creatures like Vampires and Werewolves
I must say, I always was an asshole to my Sims Family, put them in a room, removed door and Windows and let fireworks go off there, to see them Burn
Yes I was sadistic and evil with my virtual Family XD
Thats also an interessting way to see green-Kain XD and I wonder, why are his claws orange? and why only Three claws? I mean Vorador always had only three fingers, but Kain had five on each hand like a normal person. if Greeno and our Kain are the same person, Imagine what a shock it must have been to wake up one night and realising that he misses two fingers on each hand and now has this bulky and mostly stiff claws! he will never be able to close a shirt or pants ever again and not even a belt would work.
And why giving him claws when he NEVER fights with them? In BO2 the claws made sense, since the weapons could break and he didn't had claws in BO1 since he always had to had a sword/Axe/club in his hands.
what I think was the most annoying part about SR1 was, that you could save at everytime but when you turn the game off and on again later, you are always down at the elder Gods cave and have to make your way out of it again. Okay, its not hard to get out of there or you could use the Portals in that one chamber but still. why Saving your Progress if you never start there again? oh and what I hated the most in SR1 was Rahabs Area with the water. I HATED it!!!! The first time I somehow managed to get through all that fucking shit and in my Second play I really said: "Fuck it" used a button combo so Raziel could swim even before killing his brother, so I could get through that area faster.
you really should play Resident evil^^ I can recommend Resident evil 1 and 0 very much, when you like classic Horror stuff, if you like Action more then you should try resident evil 5 as well, but it would be better to play Game 1 so you understand all the trouble the protagonist Chris is going through with his arch-enemy Albert Wesker. Or Resident evil 4 thats a really really great game^^
There are two remakes to resident evil 2 and 3 but I can't recommend these two. they are kinda boring and really really slow.
and the Resident evil movies with Miss Jovovich are NOT real resident evil movies, these are Selfinsert Fanfictions with a Mary Sue as the lead. The Character Mila plays, Alice, was NEVER in Resident evil. There is no Alice and all ingame Characters that appear in the movies are all completely out of Character and I watched them ALL!!! All six Movies!! and the biggest Slap in the face, was what they did with Albert Wesker, the main Enemiy in the video Games. Wesker is a brilliant bio Terrorist who has super Natural powers himself because of many different Virustypes in his body. He can Dogde bullets and even catch Rockets from Rocket launchers if he wants. so he is tough work. In the game they had to throw him into a vulcano and shoot his head clean off with Rocket launchers to end him at least and in the Movies....Well...He gets killed by a DOOR!!! A FUCKING DOOR!!! and no, thats not a joke....sadly
the most Modern Vampire books I read are all erotic Stuff. Not that I have a problem with that in general, but its always the same! The guy is the vampire and the woman is that Special snowflake that the Vampire must have at all costs! She is special, she is the most precious thing this vampire has seen in over 100 years ofl Life or Undead life and he must have her!
Thats always the same and I had one book where he fucks that chick in the very first Chapter!!! she is asleep and he seduces her, while she is still sleeping. I would say thats more like rape but its said to be erotic and hot and I yawned at that point in the book and they have Sex at least 5 more times in that One book ov only 400 pages!!!
Yeah Anne Rice's Vampire Storys are all...weird I think. Interview with a vampire was not the best, but I liked the fact that the vampires at least tried to blend in with the humans most of the time, to have a sort of Normal life there. But I didn't liked the Actors they choose there. I had no problem with Lestat or Louis because Brad pitt had the perfect "Crybaby Face" for his role but the guy Antonio banderas played was so wrong!! Antonio is Spanish and an Adult man but the guy he plays is a 19-year old Russian vampire boy with long, curly red hair and still the face of a child. so they turned a russian boy into a spanish man XD
Kain is more the "Monster" type vampire if you can say it that way. he loves his powers and he really sees Humans just as food and since blood can't be damaged by kicking the shit out of his enemies, he does that. his way of being "Nice" to humans is not killing them, I guess thats the greatest kindness you can get from a guy like him when you are a human being.
I mean at the Harbor chasing Umah he even said to one guy that he shouldn't be afraid of him, what shows that he wasn't there to kill him, but I guess thats only because he works for the Cabal and has informations for him. So at least we know that Kain still has full controll over his Bloodlust.
while Talking about Vampire Books and Movies there is one Series of Movies I don't like At all and thats "Underworld" I don't get it, what is with all that "Vampires and Werewolves are enemies" Shit? I really don't get it-,-

I Never Owned Sims but a Friend had it back as Sims 2 was new and so we spend one Afternoon creating and killing the Sims XD
Well there is ONE good thing about SR1: No Magical Barries that are bound to the life of some Enemies. You had the option to run away or avoid fights so that was a plus
The annoying thing about Rahabs Area was that it was flooded and Raziels Body in the material world disappears, so everytime he falls into water its back to the Spectral Realm, collect enough souls, find a portal, get back into the real world and run the whole way back to the point where you fall into the water. And some places there seemed to be slippery, since I managed to jump on that one plattform only for Raziel to slip off and fall into the water again. It was a Pain in the ass!!
Well that the orcs in Lord of the Rings are right in proportions could be, because thw first orcs once where Elves.
And there are alot of things I don't like about Green-Kain. First the things I like: The clothes and the Hair. Call me weird but I like white hair on guys and I like the little Detail with the golden Ring holding his hair Together, even though the ring is kinda pointless, but made it easier for the developer, so his hair can't move that much. The clothes would look really good on the BO2 Kain, even thought I don't understand the deep gap in the front, right above the "Private Parts" but then, the pants are so tight, there is no private Part anymore, I think Green-Kain has as much between his legs as Raziel XD Even though I don't like Green-Kains design, I like the love for Details in the Design in Defiance. It might be a boring game but it has nice graphics for 2005 Standart, I have games here that came later and look much worse than that
but I really don't like Green-Kains skin. It looks like parchment and he isn't even a nice green, its more a yellowish green or Puke-green. His eyes itself don't bother me too much but the Shadows around them are way too dark and with this weird Texture of his skin he looks like he is wearing Alice Coopers Makeup from the "Along came a spider" album-,-
Then, it bothers me that he has no lips. What is he? An Anime Character?!?!?! They also have no lips And last but not least, something that really disgust m: His teeth.The closer they get to the gum the dirtier they get and the lower canine teeth are completely dark.
Yeah king of Nosgoth but not able to get a toothbrush or what?
Even Janos had better teeth in that game and he was DEAD for 500 Years!!
Well if Kain can Handle Garlic, we don't know, I don't think anybody in the whole Series ever throw garlic after him XD Not even sure something like that is growing in Nosgoth
And a cross...well we spend time in a church, not possible to make a place more Holy than a church.
I guess Kain sees the practical Aspect of drinking blood: he doesn't have to pay for it. Just kill something and there is a meal^^
To be honest I killed everything with a pulse in BO2 on the streets or Meridian and my PS2 version had a bug. you can get extra blood on some parts when you don't cross that red Savegame Mark on the ground, then you kill everything, drink the blood, run over the red Mark, save the game, go back to the menu and back into the game again. All the humans are alive and you can drink a second time, so you can double the amount of Blood an experience
the only bad part was for me, I reached a point where the game couldn't handle that anymore and made Kains healthbar so short, a simple Jump could kill him. At that moment the save file is broken and all I could do was Erase it and start again, but thats not a problem, the game is kinda easy
and as you mentioned the prison again....is there a reason why all prisoners are Women? I saw only three male prisoners in that place, one is Magnus, the second is the guy Magnus kills by throwing him at us throught the glas and the last one is the builder...
Why?

I haven't played most of the LoK games in a while, since only the Steam version of BO2 Works. I still have them all on disc for the play station but I have no TV at the moment, my last fell off my board a few weeks ago, so I can't play Play station 2 right now...
Well Green-Kains Hair was the only thing that didn't bothered me, so I'm fine with it. I mean he is supossed to be Kain and Kains hair also got longer over time. in BO1 it barely touched his shoulders and in BO2 its down his shoulderblades and if his hair would grow naturally like human Hair, we would have woken up in BO2 with hair as long as Rapunzels XD
That All Vampires in the SR Games are wearing these tight pants fits. Mostly for Raziel, showing us one more time what a big dickless PUSSY he is. what I don't like about Raziels Vampire Form is his Hairstyle. Short on the front and a ponytail...that looks SO STUPID!! Greenos Hair is better in comparison since his hair is all long, not short and long in different parts. and Raziels Vampire form Reminds me of David Bowie....and not in a good way...he looks like a Bowie knock off
but that they don't wear real armor could be, because these Vampires are so much more Powerfull than all of their Enemies that they don't need armor anymore to protect themself.
in BO2 Kain got more and more Armor the closer we got to the sarafan Lord because his enemies also got tougher, but in the Area where Greeno is the king of the land, there are no enemies anymore that could threaten these creatures, so no armor needed.
The Cathedral might not be christian but religious and some folklore says that Vampire can't stand any kind of Religion, no matter what. In some Storys its een said that Vampires are unable to look at a statue of the Buddha, so I guess it doesn't matter what religion it really is. I guess the Idea that Vampire can't stand only christian Objects comes from the Dracula Story, since Dracula was, before he turned into a vampire, a warrior of god, who wanted to protect his lands against an army of muslim Warriors and He can't stand Christian objects anymore. I guess that turned from there into a rule for all vampires, but I'm sure it can turn into anykind of Religion.
I killed always anything in BO2 XD Just because I needed to. Since I can't play the PS2 Version anymore I also have to play it on PC and I Suck in this game when I play it on PC, don't know why...I guess its because my controller doesn't work with that Game-,- So I have to kill everything to drink enough blood to stay alive
Yeah sure, on the walls of the prison, but there is no Male Prisoner running around. these are all female. I wonder what kind of horroble crime you must commit to end up in that prison. I can understand Magnus and the builder but the humans...what did they do, to suffer for that crimes for all eternity...

Well in the german Version that Green Thing is named Kain and has the same voice as BO2 Kain...and greeno has bad teeth...
yeah BO2 Kain was a tall and slim guy, he was even thinner than most of the other Male Vampires around him, but that could be because of his 200 Year long beautysleep
I liked his hooded outfit the most or the "red riding hood" costume, some people Call it XD for me, thats my favorite. Its cool, it had Armorparts and still looks light enough, to move fast in it. It looks like a thief or Assassin outfit...more assassin, for a thief its way too colorful XD
while you comparing Raziel to boybands, his hair reminds me of that one Member of the Backstreet Boys^^ Nick Carter I guess was his name, but Nick was better looking than Raziel XD
well in BO2 the sarafans appear like a fanatic cult while in the other Games they just seem to be protectors. Still fanatics but not as much as in BO2, but I guess thats because Lord Sarafan was the ultimate Leader of them and since he is gone or before he was there, the sarafans didn't ruled over cities that much.
I mean in the other games people also seem to be more aware that Vampires Exist and i think were more Thankful for the Sarafans Work than in BO2, where the people seem to doubt that Vampires even exist.
but Talking about the Sarafans, I wonder why the female Sarafan Warriors are wearing even less protective Armor than Umah is wearing. I mean Umah is running around in Basicly Underwear with shoulderpads and the Sarafan Ladies are wearing thongs, stockings and a Short shirt with a hood. And they have really big tits!
not that big tits are a problem I like that but the whole outfit seems not very good to protect these Women from attacks, mostly not when they fight against such a merciless Vampire like Kain. He doesn't care of you are a man or a woman, you get killed!!
Big Question: Would Kain kill children? I mean he can be a big asshole..but I guess he wouldn't simply because there would be not enough blood in such a tiny body.
Its weird with the eternal Prison. I mean there is a guillotine on the market Place in BO2 in the lower part of the city and its blade is covered in Blood, so there were executions, so why sending someone to this prison. and then is the Question: Who build this place?
I mean its clear that Moebius has its hands in it, he is the guardian of time and we see his statue at the end, but he couldn't have built it because the hylden Builder must be in there much longer, so maybe the Ancient Vampires build it? and got this time stopping part became a responsibility for every time guardian?
I'm confused....

I think we can all agree that the developers want us to believe that this green thing is supposed to be Kain.They just fucked up badly and since when do vampires Age!?
Normaly they don't change at all over the centuries...
I liked the slim Kain as well, I liked his long thin legs....I would KILL for such legs...-,- but Guys always have the nicer legs than women XD
I must admit in the SR Games I liked the Sarafan Armor. They looked like knights and since Nosgoth is more of a medieval time, except for BO2, the Sarafan Armor make sense there, And I like Knights, so I liked the SR2 Sarafan Armor^^
what I don't like is this Outfit the Sarafans wear in Defiance. Mostly, what kind of Pants are that?!
doesn't matter if these Sarafans face Green Kain or BO2 Kain or Even Raziel, normaly with these Pants they would trip and fall or get Tanglet in them with their Weapons. And when Green-Kain Grabs one ingame to ask him where Moebius is, the Armor Parts sounds more like Plastic than metal..or at least like two tin cans hit together.
I think in all games except for BO2 are all Sarafans male only. only in BO2 they have also females.
MOstly because the world is more modern there, than in the other Games and so, even women can join the Sarafans to become warrios. in the other games, mostly BO1 its all very medival and so the Man are working and not the Woman (A brothel doesn't count^^)
BO2 is also the only time we see Woman in Pants in the entire Series^^ And I don't mean Umah with her lil underwear, I mean the humans. The Sarafanladies, The female factory Workers, the Ladies you meat at the Canyon..those can be annoying-,-
Or even when you are in the sarafan Stronghold and you find the time to listen to a few Humans talking there, it sounds like the Ladies have the upper Hand, at least between these Nobles^^
The lost City in BO1 was originally planned as another dungeon thats important to the Story but they canceled that Idea, but didn't wanted to ruin the city they build there, so it was a "Bonus" in BO1
Well in BO1 the whole Land of Nosgoth is kinda magical, Not always in a positive way, but its a magical Land
I know people who go so far to call Blood Omen 1 the "Dark Legend of Zelda for Adults"
