Both Blood Omens are great, I like Kain's villainous attitude and warrior character, sure Kain has a better graphics in BO2.

Yes, he's quite an impressive anti-hero.

even thou i don't think BO2 deserves to be called a sequel to the much loved (by me

Hey-hey, someone is alive! 
Long time no seen.
Hehe same here about Soul Reaver, it doesn't deserves to be called Legacy of Kain, rather the "Adventures of Zombified Lara Croft" according to the null connection it has with Blood Omen
And I love BO1 too.
I always loved how Kain was feeding, never biting necks as the usual vampire cliches, and he looks like being enraged while drinking

Blood Omen 2 deserves this kind of respect and attention. Well made stamp!

That's sure, sad to see how it's being ignored because of following the original Legacy of Kain, and not the over-favoured soul reavers.

Thank you!
Is it that collection-edition with nearly all games in it? (Blood Omen1 is missing of it)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes it is. Unfortunately BO1 is missing. But no worries for me. I have original CD already ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, it belongs to Sillicon Knights, but still bad it can't have a place in it for a full collection. I have BO1 on copy, all the other games are the original (I love the Blood Omens the best, and SR1 the least, played it only 2 times through the 3 years since I know the series
π: 0 β©: 1
SR1 was my favourite for many years. Now BO1 and Defiance are ^^
I was thinking about replaying all the games to refresh my memory. I haven't played LOK for at least 3 years..
π: 0 β©: 1
My first LoK game was Blood Omen2, and I still like the two Blood Omens the best, and played SR1 for last, I already knew the whole story and what things happened and why till I got to SR, playing it for the first time pissed me off because of it's story and complete hatred on Kain.
I'm rarely playing games too lately, I don't have much games, but it's always a good feeling to play again a game that was put aside for years.

yayBO2!! XD 
π: 0 β©: 1
This game is so looked down by the fans of the series, it deserved some support
I rarely playing a game these days, just noticed I missed BO2 a lot.
π: 0 β©: 1
yea I agree with you, i personally love the game and it's one my favourite of the series

I have always liked the way he wipes his mouth after every drink!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, he looked so angry when drinking, I like his pissed face and glowing eyes too
π: 0 β©: 1
I also like the roar thing he does when he is full with lore energy!
π: 0 β©: 0
That's sure he enjoys it
And thank you!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah!
No problem!

nothing says refreshing like the blood of your victim for a midnight snack!
π: 0 β©: 1
A refreshing snack after a good fight...Kain enjoys both
π: 0 β©: 1
and he sure has powerful lungs if he's able to lift a body while draining their blood.
He should really consider singing opera!

Hahahaha That's what hard to imagine
π: 0 β©: 1
Did you render that yourself or just take it from the game?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not a big deal, taken it from the game and edited it, there are not too much stamps around I like, mostly Ugly Orc Kain or Raziel, had to make an own one.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, a lot of people actually like the screwed up zombie Kain better. I think he looks diseased.
π: 0 β©: 1
He's not only looks bloody ugly (I didn't recognized that green orc was Kain when I first played a SR game) he's also damn out of character, even if SR2 made some attempts to link it's story to BO1, Kain is hell not the original Kain created by Sillicon Knights. Crystal simply gave not a crap about BO1 when they came up with SR1 as 'sequel', and some people even doesn't knows the Blood Omens are the part of the Legacy of Kain series, while they are actually the original Legacy of Kain, and not the Soul Reavers.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, well they changed his character more than once. In SR1 he was this petty vindictive prick, and in SR2 he's a quazi hero with some kind of master plan.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, SR1 had not a single connection to the original Legacy of Kain, Crystal simply took the names, came up with Raziel out of the blue, and Kain was tossed into the role of the hated antagonist in his own story. The original SR had a really dumb story anyways, killing Kain at the end, so Nosgoth is purged from vampires and their corruption, and happy end. I don't like SR1 for it's screwed story and characters, and the lieutenants who really had no importance in Nosgoth's story had an oversized role. I think SR2 only wanted to fix the mistakes and character distortions of SR1 and make some connection to BO1, and Defiance supposed to tie together the two Blood Omens and Soul Reavers.
π: 0 β©: 1
The Lieutenants pretty much existed to give you something big to kill. The whole story was basically a revenge story. I also got the impression that they were trying to redeem the characters in SR2 and fix some of their blunders. And actually, I thought it was cool how they built up to Kain and Raziel fighting eachother in Defiance. I liked playing the fight scene too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, SR1 was quite screwed up, I wonder how it can become so many people's favourite from the series while it's the most out of character and out of story. Both Kain and Raziel were cliches, but the problem is Kain's character was existing before SR1, Crystal only screwed him up.
SR2 appears to be made to redeem the screws of SR1 and also try to connect SR1 to Blood Omen1, and Defiance was made to connect the Kain games and the Raziel games as the Blood Omens and SR-s hardly had anything in common.
I think Defiance pushed Kain into another extremity, he was a cliche evil in SR1, while Defiance made him into a very patient non-selfish wizard-like martyr character, he could change roles with Gandalf. I not only hate his green orc look, but also don't like how Crystal messed around with his character as not being sure what to do with him. Sillicon made Kain a great character, but Crystal tried to push him into something cliche good or evil person in SR and Defiance.

I don't think Kain was any of those things in Defiance. He was still a bloodthirsty killer but older and a bit more seasoned. The impression I got from him in Defiance was that he was just trying to carve out a space for himself where he would finally be secure. He knows that what he did in the other games didn't work so he's trying something a little different, but in the meantime he's still killing lots of people and enjoying it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, he was a killer, but not the same character he originally was. Crystal really didn't knew what to do with him, that's obvious the rest of their Legacy of Kain games were focusing on Raziel, the typical goodie-good hero everybody likes, and Kain got degraded into some sort of supporting character with quite different personalities in every SR-game according to how it matched the best Raziel's story. (I find it unfair from Crystal turning Sillicon Knights's Legacy of Kain into 'Legacy of Raziel' )
Even if Kain liked killing in Defiance, I found him hell out of character as caring so much about Raziel, it was almost soppy how he felt remorse about the bye-bye of Raziel, if he behaved according to his original nature, he'd cared Raziel only to make him fulfill his destiny, and didn't became so emotional about trying to save him. The original Kain wouldn't even try to save Raziel, he'd be pleased with finding the edge of the coin as being purified and owning the completed Reaver, but the possibility for a new future could be still giving him a chill.

Well Raziel is closer to the typical hero type than Kain, but he still sucks souls and that's a pretty dark hunger, even darker than sucking blood. I didn't like how they did Kain for the SR games, but I do think it's OK for him to mellow out a bit compared with the first BO game because usually people chill out as they get older. I mean, I'm certainly not as hot headed as I was when I was 20, and Kain is thousands of years older.

I disagree with the getting old thingie, I still find it a lame explanation by Crystal on the question why they pulled apart Kain and disfigured him beyond recognition. Actually they didn't gave a crap about the original Kain figure, rather shoved him aside for a typical "goodie-good hero" in the person of Raziel (really he just came out of the blue, and represents the cliche good character people loves to sympathize with) and made Kain into an antagonist.
Originally he was an anti-hero, but not an antagonist.
That's one thing how people change with the age, but Kain is immortal, so physically can't get old, and fictional characters like him or from other games and comics are expected to be the same persons in each sequels, even if the actual comic is 20 years old, the main character is not supposed to get old and "retire". It also brings up the question if Kain got old, why Raziel didn't grown old too and grown some braincells as he stayed the same naive teenager-type guy even after a millenium. So Crystal's explanation fails with the details.
I find it sad how they messed around with Kain's character tossing aside his original figure, and made him into Darth Vader, and twisted him again in Defiance when he became Yoda, I also hated how he cared more with Raziel's fate than with his own, the original Kain doesn't care with anyone, only with his own good. I think the Blood Omens are the true-to-Kain games, while in the others Kain's person was tweaked according to Raziel's actual adventures.

If you stood in the wrong place it looked like Kain was drinkig blood through his backside, so both badass and funny.
π: 0 β©: 1
I noticed blood finding a funny way to him when he's standing on the victim, but never seen the blood going through his back yet
π: 0 β©: 1
By backside I mean his rear, if you stand over the victim it goes through his arse.

Hahaha it can look as funny as this [link]
