>Become my Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver... my angel of death.
So Raziel was both Hylden and Vampire champion, how does that work anyway?
>>320808580
Prophecies were rigged and never really meant much.
>>320808580
He was really more the Hylden champion, as he was instrumental in freeing them. But not wholly. Both Kain and Raziel played their parts in their freeing, but Raziel more so.
To put things in perspective, look at the appearance of both Kain and Raziel. Both Kain and Raziel share traits of both races; Kain looks far more hylden while havin a vampiric look to him while Raziel has the blue look of the vampires but body shape of a Hylden.

What's wrong with Blood Omen 2?
>And then... a growing sense of vertigo, and the familiar displacement – the paradoxical moment when my twinned soul hovered both outside and inside the Reaver blade... This was the instant – the glimmer of temporal distortion – Kain had been counting on all along.
This was the edge of the coin – the minute flicker of probability upon which Kain had gambled everything.
>Behind Kain’s eyes, I could see new memories blooming and dying, as history labored to reshuffle itself around this monumental obstruction... And I could see by the dawning horror on his face that perhaps we had strained history too far this time... that by trying to alter my fate, he may have introduced a fatal paradox.
>But Kain’s warning was lost as I slipped into the spirit realm, too weak to maintain my physical form... And there, waiting for me as always, was the Reaver... the wraith blade – my own soul, twinned and bound eternally to me. And I realized that I could never escape my terrible destiny... I had merely postponed it. History abhors a paradox.
why is SR2 narrative so perfect

Nothing, BO2 is another repercussion of the fatal paradox from SR2 - the revenge of Hylden. It paved the way to Kain's empire.

It's garbage.
If they were to remake Legacy of Kain and all sequels, giving them updated graphics and models but keeping gameplay and story, I'd be happy as fuck.
Raziel would look terrifying though.
>>320808443
I've just realized that LoK would never be made today. Not because the game was too good for today's market but because no corporate executive would approve of a game where main character looks like a freaky zombie.
>>320813267
Having only played LoK; Soul Reaver, how much would you recommend tracking down the other games and playing them?
>>320813709
They are both good, though puzzles get simpler with every game.
>>320813709
Play them all if you care about the story.
Blood Omen is recommended if you like a dark fantasy Zelda and can handle age.
Otherwise not recommended.
>>320813709
Considering SR1 is just the beginning of the real story, yes.
>>320813709
If you want to play them, I think you're best off emulating or tracking down console versions. I've heard nothing but bitching about the PC ports.

I think addingBamham combatwould be perfect for a SR remake
>>320812521
The chick was really annoying. I'm also fairly certain it was mostly outsourced, and Defiance was made to directly address all the plotholes BO2 introduced thanks to the original team not having much to do with it.

I am actually playing Soul Reaver now on Windows 10. It ain't too bad.
