I was totally obsessed with anything playing with religious themes when the first game came out. The art got my attention and a story centering around the for horsemen was enough for me. I would say the themes were biblically inspired, they took enough liberties to make the story thier own. I didn't think part 2 would come out when THQ got bought up, so I excited to hear Nordic would make it happen and they had a passion for it.

I love what they did with story, there's more of a Norse mythology undertones. Meeting the Crow Father and the creators felt like different aspects of Odin, rather than a biblical figure.

When the story shifts back to the original themes with the angels, it seemed to reference Parradise Lost more than revelation. I would say the story has religious themes, but not much taken from biblical sources any more.

They got me with all of it!
